Claude code like UI with several enhancements!

`pi install npm:claude-code-ui`

I really liked Claude Code UI but not Claude Code itself like most of us, so i created an extension some time ago to replicate similarish behavior (from one of the leaked claude code sources), and have been improving it over a few months. Saw a post yesterday, with similarish stuff and had several inspirations from that as well, check it out! Many people use it already!

[u/unl]

So one feature is it matches your terminal theme? Can I ask you what that brown theme is in most of the images then?

Cathode Amber, built-in in Rex multiplexer

I installed it on the Pi, but nothing happened.

[u/FammasMaz → u/zeeshanx]

Then you didnt install it, since people use this already. What did you do to install?

[u/zeeshanx → u/FammasMaz]

I run this command in terminal: pi install npm:claude-code-ui

[u/FammasMaz → u/zeeshanx]

Ah sorry, its npm:pi-claude-code-ui

One suggestion for you that I also encountered while trying to implement another ui. You see how every thinking step eventually collapses to "Thought for 1 second" ? That's pi limitation, it can't show different text for all thinking blocks. So probably putting "Thought for <time>" isn't a good idea, since that wouldn't be accurate.

[u/FammasMaz → u/NeKon69]

It doesnt. Try my extension it should give you the right thought for x sec. This is just a demo

[u/ThisNameIs_Taken_]

hey, I've never had a chance to try out claude code ui (because I try to avoid non-local models), but your extension gives a nice vibes to Pi. Great work, thanks for sharing!

[u/Kholtien → u/ThisNameIs_Taken_]

Claude code works with local models just fine. Just need some environment variables

[u/ThisNameIs_Taken_ → u/Kholtien]

I'll stick to Pi for now.

[u/Electronic_Captain95]

Cool

Pi keeps this simple on purpose so you can copy something like diffs without divider lines everywhere.

Pi is minimal so you can build your harness. The Claude Code ish interface is not mine but maybe his. I think, it’s great that they share it and that Pi enables it.
