README
@nilskluewer/pi-cost-transparency-statusline
A cost transparency status line for the Pi coding agent.

It replaces Pi's footer with a compact pastel telemetry dashboard that makes token usage and spend fully transparent:
- current working directory and Git branch
- active model and thinking level
- accumulated input/output/cache-read/cache-write tokens
- cache hit rate with a colored progress rail
- context window usage with a colored progress rail
- full cost breakdown: input, output, cache read, cache write, and total
Install
