Readme

pi-thought-bubbles

Agent thoughts materialise randomly around the screen and then fade away.

While the agent is thinking, fragments of its reasoning (the first few words of each sentence) fade in at random screen positions, hover for a moment, and fade back out — like fireflies of cognition.

Install

pi install npm:pi-thought-bubbles

Or try it without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-thought-bubbles

Usage

The extension is active by default in TUI mode whenever the model produces thinking tokens.

Command Action
/thoughts Toggle on/off
/thoughts on / off Explicitly enable/disable
/thoughts test Spawn a test thought
/thoughts status Show current state
/thoughts stress [N] [direct|legacy] Leak-regression harness

How it works

  • message_update exposes assistantMessageEvent, including token-level thinking_delta events. These are accumulated and split into sentences.
  • Each "thought" is a small, single-line overlay exactly the size of the text.
  • "Fading" is simulated by stepping theme colors: dim → muted → tint → muted → dim. Terminals have no alpha channel.
  • Overlays are driven via the public tui.showOverlay() API (captured once per session with a one-time invisible probe), with a legacy fallback for older pi versions.
