Tool output collapse demo

A pi extension that keeps your chat clean by hiding tool output by default.

  • Tool calls still render with their key parameters (so you can see what ran).
  • Tool results render nothing unless expanded.
  • Press Cmd+O (macOS) / Ctrl+O (other terminals) to expand tool output.

Install

Option A: Install from npm (recommended)

pi install npm:pi-collapse-tools

Restart pi (or run /reload).

Option B: Try without installing (temporary)

pi -e npm:pi-collapse-tools

Option C: Install from GitHub

pi install git:github.com/xRyul/pi-collapse-tools

What it does (technical)

This extension overrides pi’s built-in tools by registering tools with the same names, but only for the tools you enabled via --tools / --no-tools (default: read,bash,edit,write).

It delegates execution to the built-in implementations, but changes rendering so output is collapsed by default.

Examples:

  • Default tools: pi → wraps read, bash, edit, write
  • Read-only: pi --tools read,grep,find,ls → also wraps grep, find, ls
  • No tools: pi --no-tools → wraps nothing (does not re-enable tools)

Notes

  • Because it overrides built-in tools, pi will show a warning about tool overrides at startup.
  • If you use another extension that also overrides these tools, they may conflict.

Development
