README

Tenzo

A calm ink-and-tea theme for the pi coding agent.

Tenzo theme

Try it

Run pi with the theme for this session only:

pi -e npm:@jnardiello/pi-tenzo-theme

Like it? Install it permanently:

pi install npm:@jnardiello/pi-tenzo-theme

Then pick the tenzo theme with /settings, or set "theme": "tenzo" in ~/.pi/agent/settings.json.

What you get

A cool ink base over a dark canvas, warmed up by a single accent:

  • #e8944e amber accent — headings, links, mode labels
  • #a3b370 moss green — success, diff additions, strings
  • #d9705c clay red — errors, diff removals, numbers
  • thinking levels climb from muted gray #6e685c (off) to ember red #d9503c (max), no bright magenta anywhere

The bundled Tenzo UI extension paints the editor a matching ink background and border, and colors the thinking-level label in the footer to match the scale above.

Works best with

Tenzo is drawn against a dark canvas (Ghostty's default #282c34). Pi leaves your terminal background and foreground untouched, so the theme looks right on a dark terminal scheme with the default foreground — and off otherwise.

Install from git or locally

From the git source:

pi install git:github.com/jnardiello/pi-tenzo

Local folder (for development; the path is added to settings without copying anything):

pi install /path/to/pi-tenzo

Uninstall

pi remove npm:@jnardiello/pi-tenzo-theme

Or remove the entry from the packages list in ~/.pi/agent/settings.json.
