Settings & Skills

PiDeck provides visual configuration management for all its settings.

Opening Settings

Click the gear icon in the toolbar to open the settings panel. Settings are organized into tabs:

Models

Configure the AI models available to your agents:

• Provider — Select from supported providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.).
• Model — Choose the specific model version.
• Endpoint — Custom API endpoint URL (for proxies or self-hosted models).
• Parameters — Temperature, max tokens, top-p, and other model parameters.

Auth

Manage authentication credentials:

• API Keys — Add, remove, and test API keys for each provider.
• Environment Variables — Some keys can be set via environment variables for security.

General Settings

• Language — Interface language.
• Theme — Light, dark, or system theme.
• Font Size — Adjust the editor and terminal font size.
• Auto-save — Configure session auto-save intervals.

Skills

Skills extend the agent's capabilities. PiDeck supports two levels:

Global Skills

Skills that apply to all projects. Managed in the main settings panel:

• Enable or disable built-in skills
• Configure skill-specific settings
• Install new skills from the skill store

Project-Level Skills

Skills that apply only to a specific project. Accessible from the project context menu:

• Override global skill settings per project
• Enable project-specific skills
• Configure skill parameters for the project context

Extensions

Extensions add new functionality to PiDeck itself (not the agent). Manage them in the Extensions tab:

• Installed Extensions — View and manage installed extensions.
• Extension Store — Browse and install community extensions.
• Custom Extensions — Load your own extensions from local files.
