Installation

Install from npm globally for your user:

pi install npm:pi-claude-code-tui

Or install it only for the current project:

pi install -l npm:pi-claude-code-tui

Try it for one run without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-claude-code-tui

What it changes

Header title: left-aligned ─── Pi v<pi version> ───── (theme accent color)
Animated Pi logo matching the dynamic color-changing mark from curl -fsSL https://pi.dev/install.sh | sh, settling into the accent color
Center text: Let's build something great
Shows current model (provider/id), thinking effort, and cwd
Right-side tips panel on wide terminals (narrow sidebar with … truncation)
Half-open rounded input box (top/bottom borders only; uses editor border color)
Block cursor uses the theme accent color
Keeps pi's original footer and spinner

Local development

pi -e .

Commands

/use-claude-code-tui — switch to this package's look (Pi header + Codex-style input)
