pi-hyper-tools

An enhanced Pi extension for Charm's Hyper inference provider, based on the official charmbracelet/pi-hyper-provider.

This fork extends the official Hyper provider with an interactive /hyper terminal dashboard, dynamic server rate-limit detection from HTTP response headers, live Hypercredit balance tracking, dual cost accounting, detailed token & cache statistics, and interactive slash command autocomplete.

# Install in Pi
pi install git:github.com/samuelrubiodev/pi-hyper-tools

# Install in Pi from npm
pi install npm:pi-hyper-tools

# Or install from local directory during development
pi install /path/to/omp-hyper-tools

What This Fork Adds

This extension is 100% compatible with the official provider while adding:

• Interactive /hyper Dashboard: A polished ASCII terminal overview displaying live credit balance, dynamic rate limits, active model pricing, cache hit rate, and session usage.
• Dynamic Server Rate Limits: Inspects HTTP response headers (x-ratelimit-*) on live inference requests to automatically detect hourly and daily rate limits and remaining requests without hardcoding account tiers.
• Dual Cost Accounting: Captures server-reported actual request costs when returned by Hyper alongside pricing formula calculations based on input, output, cache-read, and cache-write rates.
• Subcommand Autocomplete: Interactive autocomplete suggestions when typing /hyper or /hyper status in the Pi editor.
• Detailed Usage Analytics: /hyper stats breaks down uncached input tokens, cached tokens, reasoning tokens, and cache hit rates.
• Explicit Request Accounting: /hyper requests clearly distinguishes authoritative server-reported limits from local session/machine request counts.
• Configurable Status Line: Live footer status showing credit balance and team name via /hyper status.

Authentication

OAuth (Recommended)

1. Open pi.
2. Run /login.
3. Choose Subscription and select Charm Hyper.
4. Complete the device authorization flow in your browser.

API Key

Set the HYPER_API_KEY environment variable in your shell:

export HYPER_API_KEY="your-hyper-api-key"

Then launch pi.

Selecting Models

List and select available Hyper models using Pi's model selector:

/model hyper

Examples:

• hyper/deepseek-v4-flash
• hyper/qwen3.8-flash
• hyper/qwen3.8-max
• hyper/kimi-k3

The dashboard and pricing display automatically adapt whenever you switch models.

Commands

All /hyper commands include full argument autocompletion. Simply type /hyper in the Pi editor to see interactive suggestions for all available subcommands (credits, requests, stats, refresh, status, help).

/hyper

Displays the compact, complete Hyper dashboard:

/hyper credits

Shows your authoritative Hypercredit balance, USD value, and last refresh timestamp:

Hypercredits (authoritative server-side balance)

  Balance:         183.42 HC
  USD Equivalent:  $9.17
  Last Refreshed:  just now

/hyper requests

Displays authoritative server rate limits and local session request counts:

Requests

Server reported limits
  Hour: 180 remaining / 200
  Day:  385 remaining / 1000
  Last server update: just now

Local activity
  Hour: 14 requests
  Day:  24 requests

Note: Server limits are authoritative from Hyper response headers. Local activity counts inference requests made from this Pi session/machine.

/hyper stats

Displays token usage, reasoning tokens, cache hit rate, and estimated vs server-reported costs for both the current session and today's aggregate usage:

Hyper Usage Statistics

Session Usage
  Inference Requests:    12
  Uncached Input Tokens: 8,509
  Cached Input Tokens:   174,912
  Total Input Tokens:    183,421
  Cache Hit Rate:        95.4% (cached / (uncached + cached))
  Output Tokens:         4,200
  Reasoning Tokens:      1,800

/hyper refresh

Bypasses local caches to fetch fresh balance data from /v1/credits and model pricing catalogs from /v1/provider.

/hyper status

Interactive or CLI configuration for the Pi footer status line:

/hyper status teamName true
/hyper status hypercredits false
/hyper status reset

(Legacy alias /hyper-status is also supported).

Data Accounting & Sources of Truth

The extension separates sources of truth across three categories:

| Category | Metric | Source | Nature | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Balance | Hypercredits | GET /v1/credits | Authoritative: Real server-side balance from Hyper account. | | Rate Limits | Hourly & Daily Limits / Remaining | Inference HTTP Headers (x-ratelimit-*) | Authoritative: Real server rate limits currently applied to the account. | | Model Pricing | Rates per 1M tokens | GET /v1/provider | Authoritative: Real rates for input, output, cache-read, and cache-write. | | Activity | Local Request Counters | Local Tracker | Local Activity: Counts model inference calls originating from this Pi installation. | | Cost | Actual vs Estimated Cost | Completion chunk / Model rates | Dual: Server-reported cost when provided by Hyper, alongside local rate formula estimates. |

Privacy & Local Storage

• Local persistence is stored in ~/.pi/agent/hyper-provider/ (settings.json and usage.json).
• Stored records contain only metadata: timestamp, model ID, token counts, rate limits, and cost calculations.
• Zero prompt text, zero model responses, zero tool arguments, and zero conversation content are ever persisted or sent outside inference calls.
• Historical usage records older than 30 days are automatically pruned to keep file sizes negligible (< 50 KB).

Development & Testing

Run the test suite:

npm test

Run TypeScript type checking:

npm run typecheck

Run formatting and linting:

npm run check:biome

Run live API verification (requires HYPER_API_KEY):

npx tsx test/integration.live.ts
