README

pi-working-message

Release License pi package

A small, focused pi package that customizes the working message shown while the agent is busy.

It changes only the working message and nothing else:

  • no footer changes
  • no title bar changes
  • no thinking-label changes
  • no extra UI widgets

For each request, pi-working-message shows exactly one phrase. The phrase does not rotate during the same response.

Features

  • works as soon as the extension is installed
  • random phrase selection
  • safe defaults
  • standard pi package layout

Default behavior

If the extension is installed, it is enabled. No config file is needed.

Installation

Install from npm

pi install npm:pi-working-message

To update later:

pi update npm:pi-working-message

Install from GitHub

pi install https://github.com/viartemev/pi-working-message@v0.1.0

Install from a local path

pi install /absolute/path/to/pi-working-message

If pi is already running, execute:

/reload

Commands

  • /working-message — show current status
  • /working-message preview — preview the next phrase

Notes

  • one request = one phrase
  • phrases are built into the extension
  • uninstall or disable the extension to stop changing the working message
