pix-bash

Pi tool — bash shell execution with pretty output.

What it does

Replaces Pi's default bash tool with an enhanced version backed by pix-pretty. Output is rendered in a full-width framed block showing an exit-code summary, line count, and truncation notice. Call labels display the command inline; multi-line commands collapse to the first line with … (+N lines) until expanded. In expanded mode the full output is shown; collapsed mode caps the preview to a configurable line limit. Depends on @dihak/pix-pretty, which is installed automatically as a dependency.

Auto-collapse

After a configurable delay (default 10 seconds), completed output collapses to one line, for example ✓ bash bun test · exit 0 · 42 lines. Structured failures remain readable until the same delay, then use a compact ✗ row. Expanding either row restores the normal output or exact diagnostic without restarting the elapsed timer. The delay and per-tool toggle are controlled via the collapse section of ~/.pi/agent/pix.json:

{
  "collapse": {
    "enabled": true,
    "delaySec": 10,
    "tools": { "bash": true }
  }
}

Set collapse.tools.bash: false (or collapse.enabled: false) to disable. See @dihak/pix-data/collapse for the full API.
