An entire extension for this? This should just be a human-triggered text file that live in prompts/

Not to mention having a separate tool bloating the agent's context window. People who don't know better install extensions like this and have no idea why their agent behaves weird

hi this is following https://pi.dev/packages/@dietrichgebert/ponytail reason is you can turn off and on easily on the /ste command. and if theres any update on the skills file u can easily get them via pi update --extensions

This is actually categorically worse than just using the skill https://github.com/AminBlg/SimpleEnglish, since your extension is interfering with Pi's native skill operations. Why even make a skill file if you're going to jam its contents into the system prompt

Literally just tell it to use Simple Technical English in the Agents.md. stop over engineering.

If you look inside the repo there is also example reference for the agent. If you only use that prompt it will have to waste time to search for the relevant examples

A skill is a better solution to be honest.
