pi-context-budget

A reusable pi package that warns when a session starts getting too close to the model's context limit.

What it does

• warns when the session crosses:
  • 100k tokens
  • 150k tokens
  • 200k tokens
• uses escalating severity:
  • 100k: awareness
  • 150k: warning
  • 200k: error-style warning
• shows a warning widget below the editor only after a threshold is reached
• keeps pi's built-in footer unchanged
• includes the percentage of the active model context window when pi knows it
