- Remove all manually registered Pi tools (alpha_search, alpha_get_paper, alpha_ask_paper, alpha_annotate_paper, alpha_list_annotations, alpha_read_code, session_search, preview_file) and their wrappers (alpha.ts, preview.ts, session-search.ts, alpha-tools.test.ts) - Add Pi skill files for alpha-research, session-search, preview, modal-compute, and runpod-compute in skills/ - Sync skills to ~/.feynman/agent/skills/ on startup via syncBundledAssets - Add node_modules/.bin to Pi subprocess PATH so alpha CLI is accessible - Add /outputs extension command to browse research artifacts via dialog - Add Modal and RunPod as execution environments in /replicate and /autoresearch prompts - Remove redundant /alpha-login /alpha-logout /alpha-status REPL commands (feynman alpha CLI still works) - Update README, researcher agent, metadata, and website docs Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

When to use
- Academic paper search, reading, Q&A →
alpha - Current topics (products, releases, docs) → web search tools
- Mixed topics → combine both
