pi-compact-tools

Compact, expandable rendering for Pi's built-in tools, with a GitHub Dark theme.

Features

• Compact rows for read, write, edit, bash, powershell, grep, find, and ls, with status, duration, and line count
• Syntax-highlighted edit diffs and numbered read/write code views, including Markdown code fences
• Animated working label above the prompt, lit in the session's own thinking-level color, and a Ctrl+T thinking summary/detail cycle
• Theme-agnostic chrome: rails, the tool indicator, and the working label are derived from the active theme and stay legible on light and dark backgrounds
• No Nerd Font required

Install

pi install npm:pi-compact-tools

Then restart Pi or run /reload. For the bundled theme, set "theme": "github-dark-pro" in ~/.pi/agent/settings.json.

  "tools": ["read", "write", "edit", "bash"],
  "previewLines": 10,
  "auto_compact": { "read": true, "write": true, "edit": false, "bash": true }
}

• tools: tools to render compactly. Also available: grep, find, ls, powershell.
