At-a-glance situational awareness: see the active model, context fill,
mode flags, and cwd in the prompt itself — prevents "wait, am I still
in plan mode?" surprises.
Example config:
shell = {
prompt = "[{model} {ctx_used}/{ctx_max}t T{turn} {mode}] {cwd_short} > ",
}
Variables (substituted via {name}):
{model} active preset name
{ctx_used} char/4 token heuristic (Phase 0 §8; accurate is Q1)
{ctx_max} config.context.token_budget
{turn} #ctx.turns
{cwd} libc.getcwd() (chdir-aware; PWD env may drift)
{cwd_short} cwd with $HOME -> ~
{last_status} last exec exit code, "" if none yet
{mode} "norris" | "plan" | "normal"
Default behavior unchanged when shell.prompt is unset — keeps the
"[aish:<model>]>" form with norris ⚡ and plan markers.
Side wiring:
- ffi/libc.lua gains getcwd() (chdir() doesn't update PWD).
- run_shell records exit code into last_exec_code for {last_status}.
