pi-verbosity-control

Apply per-model OpenAI text.verbosity overrides and cycle the current model's setting from the keyboard.

Install

pi install npm:pi-verbosity-control

Or via git:

pi install git:github.com/ferologics/pi-verbosity-control

Restart Pi or use /reload if you are developing locally.

What it does

• Reads global config from ~/.pi/agent/verbosity.json
• Supports model-specific overrides by bare model id (gpt-5.4) or exact provider/model (openai-codex/gpt-5.4)
• Applies text.verbosity to supported OpenAI Responses-family requests right before they are sent
• Monkeypatches Pi's built-in footer so verbosity appears inline with the model/thinking display instead of on a separate status line
• Cycles the current model's verbosity with a shortcut and saves it back to the config file

Exact provider/model entries win over bare model ids.

Supported APIs

• openai-responses
• openai-codex-responses
• azure-openai-responses

Shortcut

• macOS: Alt+V
• Other platforms: Ctrl+Alt+V

The shortcut cycles:

low -> medium -> high -> low

Config

Path:

~/.pi/agent/verbosity.json

Example:

{
    "models": {
        "gpt-5.4": "low",
        "openai/gpt-5.4": "medium"
    }
}

If you edit the file manually while Pi is already running, use /reload.

Notes

• The footer integration is a runtime monkeypatch of Pi's built-in FooterComponent, not a public footer-composition API.
