Introspection dashboard for the pi coding agent — see what's actually loaded into a session: tools, slash commands, skills, and the system prompt injected on init.
pi install npm:pi-inspectThen use /inspect start | stop | restart | status | open | list | snapshot from inside pi.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/inspect |
Open the dashboard for the current session in your browser (http://localhost:5462/?session=<id>) |
/inspect <sessionId> |
Open dashboard pinned to a specific past session |
/inspect snapshot |
Re-capture the current session snapshot now |
/inspect list |
Print all captured session IDs in the terminal |
/inspect open web|app |
Open in browser or as a PWA window |
/inspect start / stop / restart / status |
Manage the local server |
State is driven entirely through the ?session= URL param — share or refresh URLs to pin views. The in-page picker also writes to the URL.
Click Share in the topbar to copy a self-contained link of the current snapshot. The snapshot is deflate-raw compressed and base64url-encoded into the URL hash (#s=…) — no server, no upload, no account.
Recipients open the link on the hosted static dashboard at https://nikiforovall.blog/pi-inspect/ and see the exact same tools / commands / skills / system prompt. The page makes no network requests; everything is in the URL.
Heads up: the link includes the system prompt and cwd. Don't share secrets you wouldn't paste in chat.
- Tools — name, description, parameter schema, source
- Slash commands — name, source
- System prompt — full text injected on init, split into system / user
AGENTS.md/ projectAGENTS.mdsections - Session meta — cwd, model, sessionId, sessionName, captured timestamp
Snapshots live at ~/.pi/agent/inspect/snapshots/<sessionId>.json.
