README

pi-working-indicator

Minimal Pi working indicator: a traveling wave of small squares replaces the native braille spinner and label.

While Pi streams a response, the editor area shows eight adjacent squares: a prominent center square sweeps left-to-right at 80 ms with two muted squares trailing it and the rest dim — a three-tier gray-scale wave. The "Working" label is removed — just the squares. Run /working-indicator after a theme switch to re-resolve the color.

Commands

  • /working-indicator — switch back to the square wave
  • /working-indicator none — hide the indicator entirely
  • /working-indicator reset — restore Pi's native spinner and label

Install

pi install @pi-kaush/pi-working-indicator
