pi-timestamps

Timestamps extension for the pi coding agent.

Features

• Timing widget — shows prompt time (↑), response time (↓), and duration (⏱) above the editor
• Live elapsed timer — footer status shows ⏱ 12.3s while the agent is streaming
• /timestamps command — interactive timeline browser with search and message preview

Use Cases

• Estimate elapsed time when running long processes — compiles, test suites, model training, deployments
• Spot slow prompts or unexpectedly long agent responses at a glance
• Review session timing after the fact with the /timestamps timeline browser

Install

pi install npm:pi-timestamps

Or try without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-timestamps

Configuration

Optionally set a timezone by creating ~/.pi/agent/timestamps.json:

{
  "timeZone": "America/Los_Angeles"
}

Any IANA timezone works (e.g. America/New_York, Europe/London, Asia/Tokyo). Omit the file to use your system default.

Usage

The widget and timer work automatically. Use /timestamps to browse the full message timeline:

• ↑↓ — navigate messages
• Type — search/filter
• Backspace — clear search
• Escape — close
