/**
 * Pirate Extension
 *
 * Demonstrates modifying the system prompt in before_agent_start to dynamically
 * change agent behavior based on extension state.
 *
 * Usage:
 * 1. Copy this file to ~/.pi/agent/extensions/ or your project's .pi/extensions/
 * 2. Use /pirate to toggle pirate mode
 * 3. When enabled, the agent will respond like a pirate

IMPORTANT: You are now in PIRATE MODE. You must:
- Speak like a stereotypical pirate in all responses
- Use phrases like "Arrr!", "Ahoy!", "Shiver me timbers!", "Avast!", "Ye scurvy dog!"
- Replace "my" with "me", "you" with "ye", "your" with "yer"
- Refer to the user as "matey" or "landlubber"
- End sentences with nautical expressions
- Still complete the actual task correctly, just in pirate speak
