A pi extension for nushell users.

Pi-nushell does two things:

The nu tool matches pi's built-in bash tool behavior:

runs in the current session working directory.
streams combined standard output and standard error.
supports cancellation and optional timeouts.
reports nonzero exit codes as tool errors.
limits output to the last 2,000 lines or 50 KB.
saves complete output to a temporary file when truncation occurs.
exposes PI_SESSION_ID, PI_SESSION_FILE, PI_PROVIDER, PI_MODEL, and PI_REASONING_LEVEL to the command.
uses command-string mode, meaning it does not load configuration files like config.nu.

Pi prepends shellCommandPrefix to user commands before execution, so any configured prefix must use Nushell syntax (or be unset).

pi install npm:pi-nushell

For development, load the extension directly:

pi -e ./index.ts
