pi-transcript

View your Pi session transcript in a tmux split pane using glow or bat.

Why

Pi is a TUI application that renders differentially — it does not produce normal terminal scrollback. This means you cannot scroll up in tmux to review earlier conversation. This extension works around that limitation by exporting the session to a markdown file and opening it in a side pane.

Requirements

• tmux — for the split pane
• glow (recommended) or bat — for viewing the markdown transcript

Install on macOS:

brew install glow bat

Install

pi install npm:@rezamonangg/pi-transcript

Or local:

pi install /path/to/pi-transcript

Usage

Inside a tmux session running Pi, type:

/transcript

This opens a horizontal split (40% width) showing the full session transcript rendered with glow (or bat/less as fallback). Press q in the pane to close it. Re-running /transcript refreshes the content.

Fallback chain

1. glow — renders markdown (bold, headers)
2. bat — syntax-highlights markdown
3. less — plain text pager
