README
nopus
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@syzom/nopus) [](package.json) [](LICENSE)
nopus catches coding-agent answers that disappear into abstract LLM babble. Using deterministic prose checks, it flags responses that cross your chosen complexity threshold and sends them back for one clearer rewrite.

Currently supported: Pi, Claude Code, Codex
Use nopus
To use nopus, install Node.js 22 or newer and make sure the `node` command is available.
PiInstall nopus from npm:
pi install npm:@syzom/nopusYou can install the GitHub repository instead:
pi install git:github.com/Vistyy/nopusStart Pi normally after installation. The extension checks each completed response. When it requests a rewrite, it hides the rejected response from the terminal transcript by default. The response remains in the Pi session and model history. Because nopus evaluates completed responses, the response remains visible while it streams and disappears only after nopus requests a rewrite. Use these commands while working:
/nopus status
/nopus check
/nopus on
/nopus off
/nopus extra-simple on
/nopus extra-simple off
/nopus hide-original on
/nopus hide-original offAdd the marketplace from GitHub and install the plugin:
/plugin marketplace add Vistyy/nopus
/plugin install nopus@nopusThe plugin uses a Stop hook to request one cleare
