pi-signal

pi-signal

A Pi extension that adds a simplified cockpit-style TUI for agent work.

pi-signal now carries the Pi Mode cockpit functionality. The old /pimode command is deprecated; use /signal instead.

Features

• /signal command opens the cockpit UI.
• /signal off restores the native Pi UI pieces changed by the extension.
• Compact custom header, status panel, footer, and editor.
• Tracked AI transcript panel below the editor.
• Transcript keeps all captured AI responses for the current session instead of replacing earlier responses.
• Response panel dynamically resizes toward 60% of terminal height while leaving room for the rest of the cockpit.
• ctrl+x transcript scroll mode with keyboard navigation.
• Input box with side padding and rounded outer edges.
• Hidden built-in working row and compact tool expansion while the cockpit is active.
• Uses the public Pi extension API; it does not monkey-patch Pi internals.
