 # pi-distill
 
-Pi 工具输出提炼扩展。它统一处理 `bash`、`read`、`grep`、`find` 的 `outputPrompt`，不再局限于 Bash。
+> **Keep the facts. Spend context on decisions.**
 
-## 安装
+`pi-distill` is a Pi extension that controls how tool results enter the agent context. It does not replace tools or change how commands run; it adds an optional result-processing layer after the tool has returned its real output.
 
-该包独立扩展最终生效工具的参数 schema，并通过 Pi 原生 `tool_call` / `tool_result` 事件处理结果，不依赖 `pi-tool-display`，也不会注册同名工具。未安装、未启用或未接管对应工具时，会显示 UI-only 提炼审计；可用时则通过通用 result render middleware 把同一张卡片放进对应工具结果。`pi-tool-display` 不读取或解释 distill 字段。
-
-通过 npm 安装：
+## Install
 
 ```bash
 pi install npm:pi-distill
 ```
 
-安装后用 `/reload` 重新加载扩展。

-## 配置
+```text

-交互式配置命令：

-配置文件保存在 Pi 全局扩展目录下，文件名为 `config.json`（设置 `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR` 时使用该环境变量下的对应路径）。可通过 `/pi-distill` 交互命令查看或修改。
+## The idea
+
+We are not trying to make the agent see less information. We are trying to avoid making it carry thousands of log lines into context just to find one conclusion.
+
+The execution layer should preserve facts. The consumption layer should control context cost. `pi-distill` connects the two:
+
+- the tool executes and returns facts;
+- the agent states what it cares about through `outputPrompt`;
+- the extension reads the actual result before deciding whether to call a distillation model;
+- the model compresses the consumption path without changing the tool's semantics;
+- diagnostics show whether the transformation actually saved context.
+
+Distillation is therefore a tool contract, not a blanket “summarize everything” switch: ask for the information you need, or explicitly keep the original when you need completeness.
+
+## Why it exists
+
+Builds, tests, and diffs often contain repeated status lines, unchanged context, framework boilerplate, and stack-trace noise. The agent may need only the failure, changed files, or final state, but still has to consume the entire result first.
 
-示例：
+Always truncating can hide the important fact. Adding a separate summary tool creates another decision and another call. Waiting until the agent has read the output is too late. `pi-distill` processes the result before the next reasoning step, while retaining an explicit raw-output mode and safe fallbacks.
+
+## Observed context savings
+
+In the real Pi session shown below, an output went from **51,215 characters** to **240 characters**: **213.40× compression** and **99.5% fewer output characters**.
+
+![pi-distill context savings example](./assets/context-savings-example.png)
+
+The screenshot measures character reduction, not an exact tokenizer count. Actual token savings depend on the language, content, and model tokenizer. For suitable verbose build logs, diffs, and test output, savings of 90% or more have been observed, but this is not a guarantee for every command.
+
+| Scenario | Typical noise | What the distilled result prioritizes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Build / compile | Repeated progress, setup lines, repeated warnings | Pass/fail, first actionable error, affected files, next steps |
+| Diff inspection | Large unchanged hunks and formatting noise | Changed files, relevant hunks, review-relevant facts |
+| Tests | Per-test verbosity, snapshots, framework boilerplate | Totals, failed cases, key assertions, useful diagnostics |
+
+Savings are not the only metric. The extension records duration, original and result character counts, compression ratio, and anomalies. If a summary does not create real value, it reports `ineffective-compression` instead of silently claiming success.
+
+## How it works
+
+```text
+Agent states a handling goal
+        ↓ through outputPrompt
+Tool runs the real operation and returns stdout / stderr / files / media
+        ↓
+pi-distill uses the actual result and configuration to keep it, distill it, or write it to a file
+        ↓
+Agent consumes a result suited to the current decision, with auditable diagnostics
+```
+
+1. At session start, the extension adds `outputPrompt` to every active tool whose parameter schema is an object. It does not hard-code `bash`, `read`, `grep`, or `find`.
+2. The `tool_call` handler captures the parameter and removes it before forwarding the call, so the underlying tool never receives the extension-only field.
+3. The `tool_result` handler sees the actual output and decides what to do; it does not rely on the agent predicting the output size.
+4. No prompt skips the model. A prompt containing only `RAW` explicitly requests the original. Any other non-empty prompt permits distillation once the configured threshold is reached.
+5. If distillation fails, no model is available, or compression is ineffective, the original facts are retained and the status is exposed through details and the audit card.
+
+## Output contract
+
+| `outputPrompt` | Behavior | Use it when |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Omitted | Skip the distillation model and keep the original text; oversized text may still be written to a temporary file by the final size guard | The output is short or the tool should decide |
+| Exactly `RAW` (case-insensitive) | Skip the distillation model and keep the complete original text; oversized text is returned through a file path | You need to inspect, copy, or verify exact output |
+| Any non-empty value other than `RAW` | Call the model once the output reaches the threshold; the prompt defines what to retain | “Keep errors, warnings, and final status” workflows |
+| Any non-text content such as images or audio | Preserve the result as-is; do not send it to the distillation model or apply text truncation | Image reads, binary results, and mixed text/media results |
+
+`RAW` is the only explicit completeness signal. Natural-language phrases such as “完整输出” or “all matches” can be ambiguous and are not treated as control commands.
+
+## Prompt language
+
+The distillation prompt strictly follows the locale selected by `/pi-language`:
+
+- the next tool call reads the newly persisted locale after a language switch;
+- separate package instances still synchronize through the shared locale setting;
+- `PI_EXTENSIONS_LOCALE` remains an explicit environment-variable override;
+- the original user message is passed as task context only and cannot accidentally force the prompt language.
+
+## Scope and boundaries
+
+- Handles every active tool with an object parameter schema; whether `outputPrompt` can be injected is determined by the tool schema, not a fixed allowlist.
+- Registers no replacement tools, does not change tool execution semantics, and does not depend on `pi-tool-display`.
+- Text distillation is lossy; use `RAW` when completeness matters.
+- Non-text results are a completeness boundary: images, audio, binary data, and mixed content bypass text distillation.
+- Oversized distilled or final text is written to a temporary file and represented by its path, preventing unbounded context growth.
+- If no model is available, distillation fails open: the original result is retained and Pi can continue running.

+# pi-distill
+
+> **保留事实，把上下文留给决策。**
+
+`pi-distill` 是一个 Pi 扩展：它不替换工具，也不改变命令的执行方式，只在工具已经返回真实结果之后，帮助 Agent 决定哪些内容值得进入下一轮上下文。
+
+## 安装
+
+```bash
+pi install npm:pi-distill
+```
+
+安装后重新加载 Pi：
+
+```text
+/reload
+```
+
+交互式配置命令：
+
+```text
+/pi-distill
+```
+
+## 核心思想
+
+我们不是想让 Agent 少看信息，而是避免它为了找一句结论，被迫把几千行日志一起带进上下文。
+
+工具执行层需要保留完整事实；Agent 消费层需要控制上下文成本。`pi-distill` 在两者之间增加一个可选的结果处理层：
+
+- 工具负责执行并返回事实；
+- Agent 通过 `outputPrompt` 表达自己关心什么；
+- 扩展读取真实输出后，再决定是否调用提炼模型；
+- 模型只压缩消费路径，不改变原工具的业务语义；
+- 诊断信息记录这次处理是否真的节省了上下文。
+
+因此，提炼不是“把所有输出都交给模型总结”，而是一份明确的工具契约：需要什么就提取什么，需要完整内容就保留原文。
+
+## 为什么需要它
+
+构建、测试和 diff 往往会返回大量重复状态、未变化上下文、框架模板和堆栈噪声。Agent 可能只需要失败原因、变更文件或最终状态，却被迫先消费整段输出。
+
+直接截断会丢失关键事实；新增一个总结工具会增加调用链和决策负担；等 Agent 看完再总结又已经消耗了上下文。`pi-distill` 选择在结果进入后续推理前处理它，同时保留明确的原文模式和失败回退。
+
+## 实际效果
+
+下面是一段真实 Pi 会话中的输出：原始结果从 **51,215 个字符**提炼到 **240 个字符**，压缩 **213.40 倍**，输出字符减少 **99.5%**。
+
+![pi-distill 上下文节省示例](./assets/context-savings-example.png)
+
+这张图统计的是字符减少比例，不是 tokenizer 得出的精确 token 数。实际 token 节省会受到语言、内容和模型 tokenizer 影响；对于适合压缩的构建日志、diff 和测试输出，90% 甚至更高的节省比例是已经观察到的结果，但不是每个命令的保证。
+
+| 场景 | 原始输出中的典型噪声 | 提炼后优先保留 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 构建 / 编译 | 重复进度、环境信息、重复警告 | 成功/失败、首个可行动错误、受影响文件、后续步骤 |
+| Diff 检查 | 大量未变化 hunk、格式化噪声 | 变更文件、相关 hunk、评审所需事实 |
+| 测试 | 逐条单测输出、snapshot、框架模板 | 总数、失败用例、关键断言、有效诊断 |
+
+节省比例不是唯一指标。扩展还记录提炼耗时、原始字符数、结果字符数、压缩比和异常；如果总结没有带来真实收益，会暴露 `ineffective-compression`，而不是静默假装优化成功。
+
+## 工作原理
+
+一次工具调用的处理链路如下：
+
+```text
+Agent 提出处理目标
+        ↓ 通过 outputPrompt 传给工具
+工具执行真实操作，返回 stdout / stderr / 文件内容 / 多媒体结果
+        ↓
+pi-distill 根据真实结果和配置决定：原样返回、调用模型提炼，或写入文件
+        ↓
+Agent 消费更适合当前决策的结果，并获得可审计的处理诊断
+```
+
+1. 扩展在会话启动时为所有已启用、参数 schema 为 object 的工具增加可选的 `outputPrompt` 参数，不写死 `bash`、`read`、`grep` 或 `find`。
+2. `tool_call` 事件捕获这个参数，并在交给底层工具前移除它，因此原工具不会收到扩展专用字段。
+3. `tool_result` 事件拿到真实输出后再做判断，不依赖 Agent 对输出长度的预测。
+4. 没有 prompt 时跳过模型；严格的 `RAW` 表示明确要求原文；其他非空 prompt 才允许进入提炼流程。
+5. 提炼失败、没有可用模型或结果收益过低时，扩展保留原始事实，并通过 details 和审计卡片暴露状态。
+
+## 输出处理契约
+
+| `outputPrompt` | 行为 | 适用场景 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 未提供 | 不调用提炼模型，保留原始文本；超长文本仍可按最终返回上限写入临时文件 | 短输出或需要工具自行决定时 |
+| 严格为 `RAW`（大小写不敏感） | 不调用提炼模型，保留完整原始文本；如超出返回上限则返回原文文件路径 | 逐字核对、复制内容、需要完整日志时 |
+| 任意非空且非 `RAW` | 输出达到阈值后调用模型，具体保留内容由 prompt 决定 | “只保留错误、警告和最终状态”等场景 |
+| 包含图片、音频或其他非文本内容 | 原样保留，不发送给提炼模型，不做文本长度截断 | 图片读取、二进制结果、混合文本与图片结果 |
+
+`RAW` 是唯一明确的完整输出信号。自然语言里的“完整”“全部匹配”等表达可能有歧义，不会被扩展当作控制命令。
+
+## Prompt 语言
+
+提炼 prompt 完全跟随 `/pi-language` 当前选择的语言：
+
+- 切换语言后，下一次工具调用读取新的持久化语言设置；
+- 即使 `/pi-language` 和 `pi-distill` 来自不同的包实例，也通过共享 locale 设置同步；
+- `PI_EXTENSIONS_LOCALE` 可以作为显式环境变量覆盖；
+- 原始用户消息只作为任务上下文传入，不会把中文用户消息误判成中文 prompt。
+
+## 覆盖范围与边界
+
+- 自动处理所有当前已启用且参数 schema 为 object 的工具；能否注入 `outputPrompt` 由工具 schema 决定，不维护固定工具名单。
+- 不注册替代工具，不改变原工具的执行语义，也不依赖 `pi-tool-display`。
+- 文本提炼是有损操作；完整性要求应使用 `RAW`。
+- 非文本结果是完整性边界：图片、音频、二进制和混合 content 不进入文本提炼链路。
+- 提炼结果或最终文本过大时写入临时文件并返回路径，避免上下文无限膨胀。
+- 当前会话没有模型时，提炼会失败并保留原始结果，不阻止 Pi 启动。
+
+## 配置
+
+默认配置路径：
+
+```text
+~/.pi/agent/extensions/pi-distill/config.json
+```
+
+可以从 [`config.example.json`](./config.example.json) 开始：
+
+```json
+{
+  "enabled": true,
+  "model": "",
+  "minChars": 200,
+  "maxChars": 100000,
+  "maxOutputChars": 10000,
+  "timeoutSeconds": 10,
+  "missedCompressionRatio": 10,
+  "summarizeErrors": true,
+  "render": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "showPrompt": true,
+    "showResult": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+配置文件字段优先于环境变量。未声明的字段依次回退到 `PI_DISTILL_*`、旧版 `PI_BASH_SUMMARY_*` 变量和默认值。
+
+| 配置项 | 含义 |
+| --- | --- |
+| `model` | 可选的 `provider/model`；为空时使用当前 Pi 会话模型。 |
+| `minChars` | 达到此输出长度后才请求提炼。 |
+| `maxChars` | 模型提炼结果超过此长度时写入文件。 |
+| `maxOutputChars` | 返回给 Agent 的最大文本长度，超出后写入文件。 |
+| `timeoutSeconds` | 提炼模型调用的最长等待时间。 |
+| `missedCompressionRatio` | 没有提供摘要 prompt 时，用于长输出诊断的倍数阈值。 |
+| `summarizeErrors` | 工具返回错误时是否仍发送给提炼模型。 |
+| `render.*` | 控制审计卡片、prompt 预览和结果预览。 |
+
+主要环境变量包括 `PI_DISTILL_MODEL`、`PI_DISTILL_MIN_CHARS`、`PI_DISTILL_MAX_CHARS`、`PI_DISTILL_MAX_OUTPUT_CHARS`、`PI_DISTILL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`、`PI_DISTILL_MISSED_COMPRESSION_RATIO` 和 `PI_DISTILL_SUMMARIZE_ERRORS`。
+
+## 要求
+
+- Node.js 22 或更高版本。
+- 当前 Pi 会话需要有可用模型，除非 `model` 指向一个已配置且可用的模型。
