README
pi-tui-prompt-box
An alternative style for the prompt input in Pi.
It styles the prompt box and nothing else. Other TUI components are only moved to line up with the box. Their content and styling stay unchanged.
It is a building block, not a full theme: combine it with your favorite footer, completion menu, or any other styling extension.
Demo
Install
pi install npm:pi-tui-prompt-boxSide Effects
Moves the chat, widgets, dialogs, and footer right so they line up with the prompt box. Their content and styling stay unchanged.
Removes the model, provider, and thinking level from the default footer, as the prompt box already shows them. Custom footers stay unchanged.
Moves Pi's busy indicator (spinner and message) into the prompt box. Custom spinner widgets stay unchanged.
Replaces Pi's editor, so it does not work together with other extensions that replace the editor.
Context Footprint
None. The extension only changes the terminal UI: it adds no tools, prompt sections, or messages to the model context.
My Other Stuff
📌 S-VHS - A terminal recorder used to create the demo GIFs.
📌 pi-context-view - Pi extension to visualize context usage and inspect its hidden parts.
