pi-footer

A small pi extension that replaces the built-in footer with responsive panels:

• GIT — worktree, branch, optional upstream, ahead/behind counts; outside a repository it shows the working directory and no git initialised
• AGENT — estimated current context tokens as a number, context window size, active model/thinking level, plus Fast when pi-codex-fast is active for the selected model
• STATUS — extension-provided footer statuses from Pi's status API, such as postbox connected/disconnected state

The panel layout is inspired by @alasano/pi-panels, but this package intentionally has no settings command and no Spotify panel.

Preview

Captured from real Pi TUI ANSI output, desktop-width terminals show the panels side by side:

Narrow terminals are mobile-ready: when there is not enough horizontal space, the panels stack vertically instead of overflowing.

Install

From npm:

pi install npm:@wienerberliner/pi-footer

Or directly from GitHub:

pi install git:github.com/dasomji/pi-footer

Then restart pi or run /reload.

Behavior

• Auto-enables on session start in interactive UI mode.
• Refreshes git state every 5 seconds and after each agent turn.
• Updates agent token/model/Fast Mode info after turns and model/thinking changes.
• Shows any extension statuses published through Pi's footer status API, while avoiding duplicate Fast Mode status.
• Restores pi's default footer when the session shuts down or extensions reload.
