Readme

better-claude-code-ui

Claude Code visual identity for pi: themes, welcome banner, status line, spinner, turn footer, and CC-style tool rendering — faithfully aligned against the Claude Code source, line by line.

Install

pi install npm:better-claude-code-ui

Try it without installing:

pi -e npm:better-claude-code-ui

Recommended setting

This extension draws its own welcome banner, so pi's built-in startup header becomes redundant. Hide it in ~/.pi/agent/settings.json:

{ "quietStartup": true }

The full two-column banner (extensions + skills) appears the first time you open a given project, matching CC's showOnboarding behavior; later starts in that project use the condensed logo.

What you get

6 themes (/themes to switch, or use /cc-theme for a CC-only picker):

  • claude-code-dark / claude-code-light — truecolor, matched key-by-key to CC's palette
  • claude-code-dark-ansi / claude-code-light-ansi — ANSI-16 for terminals without truecolor
  • claude-code-dark-daltonized / claude-code-light-daltonized — color-blind friendly variants

UI modules:

  • Welcome banner — CC's condensed logo on startup, boxed banner for new versions / first run in a project
  • Status line — model, cwd (with ~ shortening), git branch
  • Spinner — CC's verb rotation with byline: elapsed time, token count, esc to interrupt
  • Turn footer — per-request cost/duration summary, matching CC v2.1.234 behavior
  • Tool rendering — CC-style tool rows (no background box), grouped consecutive calls with ⎿ continuation lines, CC-faithful diff rendering with syntax highlighting (shiki)
  • Thinking — collapsed by default with CC's label treatment; alt+t to expand
  • Prompt editor — CC's ❯ prompt pointer

Commands:

  • /cc-theme — theme picker (CC themes only)
  • /cc-tools — toggle CC-style tool rendering options
  • /cc-spinner — spinner options
