Install

Requires Pi and Node.js 22.19 or newer. Pi 1.3.0 is the primary tested host; see tested hosts and limitations for other versions.

Choose one installation method to avoid loading duplicate copies. Remove an existing installation before switching methods.

pi install npm:pi-transcript-ui

This registers the extension in your Pi user configuration. Start Pi in your project, or run /reload if it is already running.

To pin the npm version:

pi install npm:pi-transcript-ui@0.6.1

To install a tagged release from GitHub instead:

pi install git:github.com/isty2e/pi-transcript-ui@v0.6.1

If switching from GitHub to npm, first remove the Git installation:

pi remove git:github.com/isty2e/pi-transcript-ui

For a local checkout, run pi install with the checkout's absolute path. Pi keeps a reference to that directory, so keep it in place while the extension is installed.

Use

Run /transcript-ui for help and the installed version.

  • Inspect details: expand a tool to see its original call and output. Groups and their members have separate controls.
  • Navigate tools and groups: run /transcript-ui tools or press Ctrl+Shift+O where supported.
  • Change settings: run /transcript-ui settings to configure grouping, purpose text and display options. At the main settings menu, Save applies changes; Cancel discards them.

A compositor is not required. Mouse and keyboard support depend on the active display environment; see input support.

Summaries and command previews are display aids, not executable replacement commands or proof that every displayed command ran. Tool execution, expanded tool output and session data remain Pi's own.
