README

Pi Timer

Pi extension that adds a per-run timer to the footer.

Pi Timer demo

Install

pi install npm:pi-timer

From GitHub:

pi install git:github.com/jojopirker/pi-timer

From a local checkout:

pi install /absolute/path/to/pi-timer

Demo video: example.mp4

What It Does

Shows a live timer while the agent is running
Keeps the final duration visible after the run ends
Resets on the next run
Renders inline in the footer instead of on a separate status line
Uses runs for while active and ran for after completion

Local Development

Pi auto-discovers .pi/extensions/run-timer.ts in this repo.

pi

You can also load the package directly:

pi -e .

If Pi is already running, use /reload after edits.

Notes

Pi's extension API does not currently expose the built-in footer as a composable primitive. This package uses ctx.ui.setFooter() and recreates the default footer layout so the timer can appear inline.
