pi-filechanges

Tracks files changed by pi via the built-in edit and write tools. Shows an optional changes widget with changed files and added/removed line counts.

Highly inspired by amosblomqvist/pi-config/extensions/filechanges.

Capabilities & Limitations

✅ Can track

• Files changed by the current Agent through the built-in edit and write tools

❌ Cannot track

• Files changed by the user outside of the Agent (e.g. manual edits in an editor, git checkout, scripts run in a separate terminal)
• Files changed by other tools or commands (e.g. bash commands that write to files, custom tools that modify files directly)
• Files changed by sub-agents — each sub-agent runs in its own session and this extension only monitors the current session's tool calls

Install

pi install npm:@johnnywu/pi-filechanges

Commands

| Command | Effect | |---------|--------| | /filechanges | Toggle the changes widget on/off (default: on) | | /filechanges clear | Clear the tracked changes log without modifying files |
