# pi-bash-live-view

When agents emit tool calls calls for build systems, those calls can take a long time.
Often they have really nice visualizations of progress.
I cannot see those in pi, making me blind to what is happening.

This extension upgrades model-initiated `bash` calls with an optional PTY-backed live terminal view.
