README
pi-bash-live-view
When agents emit tool calls calls for build systems, those calls can take a long time. Often they have really nice visualizations of progress. I cannot see those in pi, making me blind to what is happening.
This extension upgrades model-initiated bash calls with an optional PTY-backed live terminal view.
