Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@vanillagreen/pi-tool-renderer

Tool and message displays for Pi. It provides compact output, optional file diffs and a tool for grouped read operations.

tool_batch composite result with Read/grep/Bash rows Edit tool with side-by-side diff renderer

Install

  • npm: pi install npm:@vanillagreen/pi-tool-renderer.
  • kendex: add the declaration below to the project's kendex.toml, or to ~/.config/kendex/kendex.toml for user scope. Run kendex update-pi.
[pi-extensions."@vanillagreen/pi-tool-renderer"]
source = "kendex"

Restart Pi after installation. Use kendex update-pi --check to preview the installation.

Features

  • Show compact tool rows with expandable output.
  • Display file changes with side-by-side and word-level diffs.
  • Group independent read operations into one result.
  • Configure message layout and terminal symbols.

How it works

Pi runs a tool and gives its call and result to the display extension. The extension formats those values using your settings. It shows a compact preview that you can expand. Optional diff views show changed files, and grouped read calls share one result display.

Settings

The settings editor writes project values to .pi/settings.json. The default user file is ~/.pi/agent/settings.json. PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR changes the user directory. Package values are stored under kendex.extensionManager.config["@vanillagreen/pi-tool-renderer"].

Open /extensions:settings; settings appear under the Tool Renderer tab. Project settings in .pi/settings.json apply only after Pi marks the workspace trusted.

  • enabled: package toggle.
  • glyphStyle, globalGlyphStyleOverride, treeStyle: Unicode or ASCII symbols. The global override forces one style across every kendex Pi extension and leaves tool, model and user content alone.
  • registerBatchTool, batchMaxCalls, batchCallTimeoutMs: the tool_batch tool and its limits.
  • readOutputMode, searchOutputMode, bashOutputMode, mcpOutputMode, and the *PreviewLines and bashLiveOutputDelayMs, bashLiveTailLines, bashCollapsedLines, commandPreviewChars budgets: how much of each result shows collapsed and expanded.
  • showReadImages: images in read results; needs Pi's own terminal.showImages off.
  • renderMutationTools, splitDiffs, diffPreviewLines, diffExpandedLines, mutationCallPreview, mutationCallPreviewLines, shikiDiffs, wordDiffHighlights, diffBackgrounds, showDiffHunkMeta: the edit and write diff view.
  • renderBashDiffs, renderGitDiffCommandDiffs, applyPatchRenderer, applyPatchPreview, applyPatchPreviewLines, genericToolRenderers: diffs and views for tools other than edit and write.
  • compactUserMessages, userMessageTrailingBlankLine, compactCompactionMessages, compactSkillMessages, alignAssistantMessages, styledCodeBlocks: message rendering.
  • toolChrome, rightMarginGuard, pendingStatusAnimation, workingIndicator, maxLineWidth: borders and the hard cap on one rendered line.
  • stackToolCalls, stackChildDisplay, hideStackChildRows: the stacking of consecutive native tool calls.
