🎉 Fun Working

Your agent works hard — let it have fun doing it. This pi extension retires the boring gray Working... line and replaces it with themed, randomly-colored memes — across every hook, from kickoff to the final whistle.

tool passes? GOOOAL! ⚽ tool fails? You died — Maidenless ⚔️ Agent finishes? It's coming home 🏆

---

Why it exists

The default loader says Working... and nothing else. It's correct. It's also asleep.

Fun Working treats the status line as a tiny stage. It hooks 15 of pi's lifecycle events and, on each one, rolls the dice to maybe show a themed one-liner — a goal celebration when a tool passes, a red card when it fails, a level-up at the end of a turn. The text flows through a random color palette, and a custom spinner ticks alongside.

It's pure vibe, zero behavior change: it only ever calls setWorkingMessage, setWorkingIndicator, setStatus, and notify. Your agent runs exactly the same — it just looks alive.

Highlights

• 🪝 Every hook covered — agent_*, turn_*, tool_execution_*, message_*, model_select, thinking_level_select, session_*, user_bash, input. Pass/fail is read straight from tool_execution_end.isError.
• 🎲 Random by design — each hook has its own chance so even with everything on it stays playful, not spammy. A global multiplier dials the whole thing up or down.
• 🌈 Colors that move — solid, flowing rainbow, or random (a fresh palette color every time the phrase switches). Status memes get random colors too.
• 🎭 17+ themes out of the box — Michael Jackson, Ronaldo (SIUUU), Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Star Wars, LOTR, Pokémon, Minecraft, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, GTA, God of War, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher, World Cup ⚽🏆, plus internet + AI-agent memes.
• 🧩 Edit, don't fork — three plain data files. Add a meme, flip a switch, change a color — no logic to touch.
• 🪶 Zero deps, zero behavior change — display only. Nothing is intercepted or blocked.

Install

# From npm
pi install npm:@nukcole-xinluo9510/pi-fun-working

# Or from a local checkout during development
pi add /path/to/pi-fun-working

Restart pi, send a message, watch it cook. 🧑‍🍳

What you'll see

Moment	Hook	Example
Tool succeeds	tool_execution_end (ok)	GOOOAL! bash ⚽ · Fus Ro Dah! read done 🐉
Tool fails	tool_execution_end (error)	edit took an arrow to the knee 🏹 · Red card 🟥
Turn ends	turn_end	Level up! Turn 3 🆙 · Combo x3 🔥
Agent done	agent_end	It's coming home 🏆 (842ms) · SIUUU — champions ⚽
Model switch	model_select	claude-opus, I choose you! ⚡
Session opens	session_start	Rise, Tarnished ⚔️ · Welcome to Night City 🌃

Frequent hooks (message_*, input) ship with a low chance so they stay tasteful.

Configure

Everything lives in three data files under extensions/fun-working/:

File	What's inside
messages.ts	The phrases that cycle in the live working line. Add or remove freely.
events.ts	One entry per hook: its meme pool, chance, channel (notify / status), color, etc.
settings.ts	Global knobs — colorMode, palette, spinner frames/colors, speeds, and the master event switch + chanceMultiplier.

A few common tweaks:

// settings.ts — pick how text is colored
colorMode: "random",   // "solid" | "rainbow" | "random"

// settings.ts — turn the whole event system up, down, or off
events: { enabled: true, chanceMultiplier: 1, colorizeStatus: true },

// events.ts — make goals fire almost every time
toolPass: { enabled: true, chance: 0.95, /* ... */ },

How chance works

Each event message fires with probability chance × chanceMultiplier (clamped to 0..1). So:

• chanceMultiplier: 0 → silence everything without deleting a thing.
• chanceMultiplier: 2 → everything roughly twice as likely (capped at 100%).
• Per-event chance lets you keep failures loud (1.0) and chatter quiet (0.12).

How it works

On load the extension subscribes to pi's lifecycle hooks. For display events it calls a single emit(key, ctx, vars):

1. Bail if the global switch is off or the event is disabled.
2. Roll Math.random() against effectiveChance(chance, multiplier).
3. Pick a random line from that event's pool and fill {tool} / {turn} / {ms} / {model} / {level} placeholders.
4. Send it to its channel — a toast (notify) or the footer (setStatus, auto-cleared), optionally wrapped in a random palette color.

The live working line is driven separately by agent_start / agent_end, cycling messages.ts on a timer with the configured color mode and spinner.
