Pi extension that visualizes what fills the model's context and lets
you inspect the parts you normally can't see: the base prompt, tool
definitions, and instructions injected by other extensions.

## Features

- **Context usage map** - visualize used and free context space, grouped by
  category (tools, skills, messages, and more).

- **Context injections** - explore the hidden pieces of the context: the
  initial prompt, tool definitions, and extension injections.

## Commands

- `/context` - shorthand for `/context usage`.
- `/context usage` - open the context usage visualization.
- `/context injections` - show the hidden content of the context at session
  start or resume.

## Usage Examples


### `/context`

See what fills your context.
For example, check what remains after compaction:

### `/context injections`

Inspect hidden parts of the context, such as tool definitions:
