Browse previously submitted prompts using Up/Down arrow keys, similar to
shell history and Claude Code's prompt history feature.
- Up arrow when editor is empty: browse to older prompts
- Down arrow when browsing: return to newer prompts or clear editor
- Cursor movement within multi-line history entries supported
- History is session-scoped, stores up to 100 entries
- Consecutive duplicates are not added to history
Includes 15 new tests for history navigation behavior.
stripAnsi misses some escape sequences like standalone ESC \ (String
Terminator) which caused rendering issues when displaying captured TUI
output. Now also removes any remaining ESC+char sequences and control
characters after stripAnsi processing.
- Use truncateToWidth instead of substring in user-message-selector.ts
- Fix truncateToWidth to use Intl.Segmenter for proper grapheme handling
- Add tests for Unicode truncation behavior
- Add 'authHeader' boolean option to models.json provider config
When true, adds 'Authorization: Bearer <apiKey>' to model headers
Useful for providers requiring explicit auth headers (fixes#81)
- Fix print mode (-p) silently failing on errors
Now outputs error message to stderr and exits with code 1
when assistant message has stopReason of error/aborted
- RPC mode now auto-compacts when context exceeds threshold (same as TUI)
- Add RPC test for manual compaction via compact command
- Auto-compaction emits compaction event with auto: true flag
- Add /compact command for manual context compaction with optional custom instructions
- Add /autocompact command to toggle automatic compaction
- Auto-trigger compaction when context usage exceeds threshold (contextWindow - reserveTokens)
- Add CompactionComponent for TUI display with collapsed/expanded states
- Add compaction events to HTML export with collapsible summary
- Refactor export-html.ts to eliminate duplication between session and streaming formats
- Use setTimeout to break out of agent event handler for safe async compaction
- Show compaction summary in TUI after compaction completes
fixes#92
- Add CompactionEntry type with firstKeptEntryIndex
- Add loadSessionFromEntries() for compaction-aware loading
- Add compact() function that returns CompactionEntry
- Add token calculation and cut point detection
- Add tests with real session fixture and LLM integration
Still TODO: settings, /compact and /autocompact commands, auto-trigger in TUI, /branch rework
pi-ai:
- Fixed usage.input to exclude cached tokens for OpenAI providers
- Previously input included cached tokens, causing double-counting
- Now input + output + cacheRead + cacheWrite correctly gives total context
coding-agent:
- Session header now includes branchedFrom field for branched sessions
- Updated compaction.md with refined implementation plan
- Updated session.md with branchedFrom documentation
- Add piConfig to package.json for app name and config directory
- Consolidate paths.ts into config.ts with clearer naming
- Fix Bun binary detection (changed from %7EBUN to $bunfs)
- Update all hardcoded paths to use config.ts exports
- getThemesDir() for built-in themes, getCustomThemesDir() for user themes
- Strip carriage return characters from bash tool output to fix background padding on Windows
- Add hidden /debug command to write rendered lines to debug log for TUI debugging
- Document /debug command in README.md development section
- Add build:binary script for Bun compilation
- Add paths.ts for cross-platform asset resolution (npm/bun/tsx)
- Add GitHub Actions workflow for automated binary releases
- Update README with installation options
Based on #89 by @steipete
Display '✓ logged in' indicator next to providers where the user is already authenticated. This makes it clear at a glance whether you're using your Claude Pro/Max subscription.
Since version 0.9.0, RPC mode (--mode rpc) was not saving messages to
session files. The agent.subscribe() call with session management logic
was only present in the TUI renderer after it was refactored.
RPC mode now properly saves sessions just like interactive mode.
Added test for RPC mode session management to prevent regression.
Fixes#83
Thanks @kiliman for reporting this issue!
Add grep, find, and ls tools for safe code exploration without modification risk.
These tools are available via the new --tools CLI flag.
- grep: Uses ripgrep (auto-downloaded) for fast regex searching. Respects .gitignore,
supports glob filtering, context lines, and hidden files.
- find: Uses fd (auto-downloaded) for fast file finding. Respects .gitignore, supports
glob patterns, and hidden files.
- ls: Lists directory contents with proper sorting and directory indicators.
- --tools flag: Specify available tools (e.g., --tools read,grep,find,ls for read-only mode)
- Dynamic system prompt adapts to selected tools with relevant guidelines
Closes#74
- Replace slow synchronous directory walking with fd for fuzzy file search
- Auto-download fd to ~/.pi/agent/tools/ if not found in PATH
- Performance improved from ~900ms to ~10ms per keystroke on large repos
- Remove minimatch dependency from tui package
- Graceful degradation if fd unavailable (empty results)
Fixes#69
- Footer now displays active git branch after directory path (e.g., ~/project (main))
- Branch detected by reading .git/HEAD directly (fast, synchronous)
- Cache refreshed after each assistant message to detect branch changes
- Handles normal branches, detached HEAD, and non-git repos
Closes#55
Implements ability to include files directly in the initial message using @ prefix.
Features:
- All @file arguments are coalesced into the first user message
- Text files wrapped in <file name="path">content</file> tags
- Images (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp) attached as base64-encoded attachments
- Supports ~ expansion, relative and absolute paths
- Empty files are skipped silently
- Non-existent files cause immediate error with clear message
- Works in interactive, --print, and --mode text/json modes
- Not supported in --mode rpc (errors with clear message)
Examples:
pi @prompt.md @image.png "Do this"
pi --print @code.ts "Review this code"
pi @requirements.md @design.png "Implement this"
Closes#54
