Pi Context View
A context inspection plugin for Pi Agent that provides two entry points, Usage and Injections, to visualize the composition of context such as system prompts, tool definitions and Skill injections, helping developers debug Agent configurations.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Pi Context View is a Pi plugin for viewing the input-side context of an AI Agent, providing two core entry points: Usage and Injections.
Pi Context View requires Pi 1.3 or a newer version.
After installing Pi Context View, enter /context in the Pi input box to open the context view; if a Pi session is already open, you need to run /reload first to reload the extension.
When checking whether a Skill takes effect, one must distinguish between two different states: 'a Skill appears in the list' and 'the Skill's body has entered the context.'
In a real case, fully reading from a 600-line configuration sample returned more than 36,000 characters, whereas first searching for the location and then reading the relevant region returned only 397 characters in total, while both target values were still present.
Pi itself supports automatic history compression or manually executing Compact; Pi Context View provides a Compact Data view for inspecting the compressed summary and the retained recent messages.
The numbers shown in Pi Context View are mainly estimated based on methods such as character counts, suitable for comparing composition and locating content; actual costs need to be checked in the service usage records.
The method for verifying content newly added by a plugin is: open a new session both before and after installation, keep the Pi version, model, project, and original tools consistent, and then compare the changes in the system prompt and tool definitions.
Spotting a certain instruction in the observable content only confirms that it was injected, and cannot by itself explain why the model made a certain decision.
The loading order of extensions affects whether some context changes are visible in Pi Context View.
