README

pi-execution-time

pi package that adds a live task execution timer to the footer.

The timer starts when a prompt begins running and counts up until the agent finishes. It renders as a compact status item in the bottom bar next to pi's built-in cost and context usage indicators.

Install

From GitHub:

pi install https://github.com/lukaspanni/pi-execution-time

From npm after publishing:

pi install npm:pi-execution-time

Usage

Reload or restart pi after installation. When the agent is working, the footer shows a live timer:

⏱ 4.2s

When the agent finishes, it keeps the final duration visible:

✓ task 18s

Longer durations are formatted as 1m 05s or 1h 02m 03s.
