Pi packages can execute code and influence agent behavior. Review the source before installing third-party packages.

A pi coding agent extension that displays live tokens-per-second (TPS) in the footer during AI response generation.

Real-time streaming TPS — updates continuously as tokens are generated
Animated spinner — rotating ⠋⠙⠹⠸⠼⠴⠦⠧⠇⠏ frames during generation
Color-coded performance — green (≥100 t/s), yellow (30–100 t/s), red (<30 t/s)
Compact display — token counts in K notation (e.g. 1.2k), shortened to t/s
Completion summary — checkmark with final stats: tps · tokens in X.Xs

Streaming:

⠇ 127.3 t/s ↓ 1.2k tokens

Completed:

✓ 127.3 t/s · 1.2k tokens in 9.4s

pi install npm:pi-tps-was-taken

This installs the package and registers it in pi's settings automatically. Then reload pi with /reload.

The extension subscribes to four pi events:

Event	Purpose
`agent_start`	Clears state on new prompt
`message_start`	Records start time, begins spinner animation
`message_update`	Calculates and displays live TPS from incremental `usage.output`
`message_end`	Shows final average TPS, stops spinner

Uses ctx.ui.setStatus("tps", ...) to append TPS to the existing footer (pwd, context %, model) instead of replacing it.

Local llama.cpp model (streaming usage updates must be incremental, not deferred to stream end)
