pi-thinking-tail

Collapse long assistant thinking blocks so the terminal stays readable. The extension keeps the first visual line, shows a hidden-line hint, and renders only the last N visual lines.

This is useful for reasoning-heavy models when you want to keep some visibility into the model's progress without letting the thinking output take over the whole screen.

Installation

pi install npm:pi-thinking-tail

Or install from a local path:

pi install ./extensions/thinking-tail

Usage

The extension becomes active after installation. By default, it shows the last 10 visual lines of assistant thinking.

| Command | Effect | | ------- | ------ | | /thinking-tail | Show the current setting | | /thinking-tail 5 | Show only the last 5 visual lines | | /thinking-tail 20 | Show only the last 20 visual lines | | /thinking-tail off | Disable truncation and show full thinking |

Valid line limits: 1 to 200.

Example

... 47 lines hidden

Given the constraints, the best option is to...
