Richard Gill writes about his personal Pi coding agent setup, which utilizes OpenAI Codex Sol and Astra models at medium and high thinking levels while adhering to Pi's philosophy of simplicity. He relies primarily on `AGENTS.md` files and custom skills rather than complex configuration.
- Commands taking over 30 seconds automatically move to the background to prevent the agent from getting stuck
- The `sub-pi` extension enables spawning new Pi windows and worktrees via tmux
- Slash commands like `/diff` inject command output directly into context without triggering an LLM turn
- Context files and skills traverse parent directories up to `$HOME`

Sourav Rudra writes that the GNOME Shell Extension review process is being overwhelmed by low-quality submissions generated by large language models. In response to a continued deluge of poorly coded content despite previous guidelines, developer Javad Rahmatzadeh has drafted specific technical instructions aimed at guiding these automated models toward better coding practices. This new approach seeks to minimize manual review strain by addressing common mistakes like unnecessary error handling and improper resource cleanup directly through model prompting instructions.
- Guidance advises bots to target a single GNOME Shell version rather than attempting broad compatibility via overengineering.
- New rules require personal use LLM-generated extensions to include a specific disclaimer in the code comments.
- Common errors being addressed include failing to properly disconnect signals or destroy widgets during cleanup.

Gemini CLI extensions can now define settings that the user will be prompted to provide upon installation, ensuring extensions have exactly what they need to function from the moment you install them. This post details the benefits of extension settings, provides a practical example with the AlloyDB extension, and explains how to define settings as an author and manage them with the config command.
Extensions load unknown sites into invisible Windows. What could go wrong?
Google is renaming 'Gemini Extensions' to 'apps' in the latest beta version of the Google app on Android. The change includes updates to the account menu and the full page for enabling and disabling each tool.
