Extension Structure & Styles

Single File (simplest)

~/.gsd/agent/extensions/
└── my-extension.ts

Directory with index.ts (multi-file)

~/.gsd/agent/extensions/
└── my-extension/
    ├── index.ts        # Entry point (must export default function)
    ├── tools.ts
    └── utils.ts

Package with Dependencies (npm packages needed)

~/.gsd/agent/extensions/
└── my-extension/
    ├── package.json
    ├── package-lock.json
    ├── node_modules/
    └── src/
        └── index.ts

// package.json
{
  "name": "my-extension",
  "dependencies": { "zod": "^3.0.0" },
  "pi": { "extensions": ["./src/index.ts"] }
}

Run npm install in the extension directory. Imports from node_modules/ resolve automatically.
