Baimin

Baimin gives Pi a minimal monochrome interface with focused color for diffs and status.

Install the package from GitHub:

pi install git:github.com/aidenybai/baimin

Select baimin in /settings, then run /reload.

For the intended layout, add these values to ~/.pi/agent/settings.json:

{
  "collapseChangelog": true,
  "editorPaddingX": 2,
  "hideThinkingBlock": true,
  "outputPad": 1,
  "quietStartup": true,
  "theme": "baimin"
}

Baimin changes Pi’s presentation:

• Displays prompts and the input editor in shaded panels
• Toggles a Hunk working-tree review with Ctrl+R
• Replaces the header and footer with compact status lines
• Shows an animated Working indicator with elapsed time
• Shows session cost and remaining OpenAI Codex or Claude subscription usage
• Uses white and gray for the interface, with green and red for diffs

Press Ctrl+R to open Hunk, then press Ctrl+R again to return to Pi. You can also run /review.

When you select an openai-codex model, Baimin requests your rate-limit status from OpenAI’s chatgpt.com API. Pi resolves your existing OAuth credential, and Baimin does not store or log it.

When you select an anthropic model, Baimin reads the 5-hour and 7-day usage windows from Anthropic’s response headers. These values appear after Anthropic responds.
