README

compact-bash

A pi extension that makes collapsed assistant bash tool output much quieter.

When enabled, collapsed bash output renders as one output line plus an inline hidden-line count and Ctrl+O expand hint. Expanding with Ctrl+O still shows the full rendered output.

Commands

/compact-bash status
/compact-bash off
/compact-bash on
/compact-bash toggle

The extension starts enabled by default. Disabling is temporary for the current extension runtime/session; after /reload, /new, /resume, or /fork, it starts enabled again.

Install

Standalone npm package

pi install npm:@diegopetrucci/pi-compact-bash

Collection package

pi install npm:@diegopetrucci/pi-extensions

GitHub package

pi install git:github.com/diegopetrucci/pi-extensions

Then reload pi:

/reload

Notes

  • This extension overrides pi's built-in bash tool so it can customize only the TUI renderer.
  • It reuses pi's built-in bash implementation and preserves shellPath/shellCommandPrefix settings when they are available from settings files.
  • It does not truncate or rewrite the actual tool result sent to the model.
  • It affects assistant-invoked bash tool rows. User !/!! bash commands are rendered by a separate pi component and keep pi's default preview behavior.
