The first public release of sidelight: a local-first, read-only project-awareness pane for your terminal.

Install: npm install -g sidelight · PI users: pi install npm:sidelight

What's in it:

  • Files, Git, Search, and Sessions panels in a single fast TUI, built for a terminal split beside an AI coding session
  • Git panel with live diff stats and colored diffs on Enter
  • Smart-case search with filename matches and highlighted results; preview any file at its exact line
  • Optional PI extension recording sanitized session metadata (never message content) — session names, counts, tokens, cost, files touched
  • y to yank paths, path:line refs, or session resume commands via OSC 52
  • Deny-list for secret-looking files enforced on every surface; symlink containment in previews
  • No network, no telemetry, no writes to your project — see PHILOSOPHY.md for the guarantees and the list of things we will never add

92 tests. MIT. Small enough to read — encouraged.
