@xl0/pi-lovely-dev-tools

Interactive debugging commands for Pi: run tools by hand, inspect the system prompt, and see why the models act stupid.

Install

pi install npm:@xl0/pi-lovely-dev-tools

Or load without installing:

pi -e npm:@xl0/pi-lovely-dev-tools

Commands

/tool [tool_name] [args...]

Run any tool yourself. The result is displayed for you to review, not sent to the LLM.

• /tool alone opens a searchable tool selector and a schema-driven argument editor.
• Positional args map onto the tool's top-level schema properties in order.
• Partial updates stream while the tool runs; Esc aborts.
• Inactive tools can still be run manually — active state only gates the agent's own calls.

/tool
/tool read README.md
/tool bash "bun run check"
/tool bash "sleep 30"  # press Esc to abort

Manual runs intentionally bypass tool policy hooks.

/show-sysprompt

Show the rendered system prompt and active tool schemas — useful when the agent isn't behaving the way you expect.

/show-context

Show an estimated token breakdown of the current context — system prompt, context files, skills, tool definitions, messages, thinking, tool calls and results (total and per tool), compactions, and more — plus a coverage map of the files the model has actually seen: startup context files, skills, and read results that survived compaction.

/llm-stats

Show one row per LLM call in the current branch: time since the previous agent message, model, what initiated the call, prompt tokens as fresh + cacheR (+ cacheW) = input, output tokens, thinking tokens (when the provider reports them), stop reason, and tool calls. The cache-read column is highlighted when cache reads drop from the previous call — a sign you lost your prompt cache.
