pi-tree-delete

Delete and undo entries in your pi session tree.

Installation

pi install git:github.com/possibly/pi-tree-delete

Or try without installing:

pi -e git:github.com/possibly/pi-tree-delete

For development, clone and use:

pi -e ./pi-tree-delete/index.ts

Usage

Type /treed to open the session tree navigator with delete support.

Keybindings

Key	Action
↑ / ↓	Navigate (same as /tree)
← / →	Page up/down
d	Splice highlighted entry (children reparented to its parent)
ctrl+d	Set/complete range mark — first press drops ▶ marker, second press splices all entries between marker and current position
r	Undo last deletion (per-session snapshot stack)
Enter	Navigate to highlighted entry
Esc	If marker is active, cancel it; otherwise exit

Examples

Delete one entry:

• Navigate to an entry
• Press d
• Its children move up to become children of its parent

Delete a range:

• Navigate to start position, press ctrl+d (marker drops: ▶)
• Navigate to end position, press ctrl+d or d (range deleted)
• Children of deleted entries are reparented to the first surviving ancestor

Undo:

• Press r to restore the last deletion
• Undo stack is per-session and cleared when you exit /treed

How it works

• Tree is read directly from the JSONL file on each iteration, so deletions/undos are reflected immediately
• Deletions splice entries (reparent children) rather than delete entire subtrees, preserving conversation history
• Labels on deleted entries are dropped; children of deleted entries are reparented to the nearest surviving ancestor
• Cursor automatically lands at position +1 after each deletion for smooth navigation
