 ## Why use it?
 
 - **See the active model at a glance** — catch accidental model switches before an expensive or sensitive task starts.
 - **Track thinking level in place** — immediately notice when you are using the wrong reasoning setting.
 - **Watch context pressure early** — context usage turns green, yellow, then red as you approach the limit.
-- **Show live TLDR inline** — pi-bar can generate a compact live summary directly in the footer.
+- **Follow what pi is doing** — a live TLDR keeps the current task visible without scrolling.
 - **Keep extension statuses visible** — statuses set with `ctx.ui.setStatus()` still appear in the custom footer.
 
-pi-bar is intentionally tiny: one small extension, no broad behavior changes, and no commands to learn. It replaces pi's built-in footer with a compact model / thinking / context / tldr / extension-status line that refreshes when model, thinking level, context usage, generated TLDR, or extension statuses change.

 ### Configure live TLDR
 
-pi-bar generates live footer TLDRs from recent prompt, assistant, tool, and result activity. TLDR state resets when you navigate the session tree so stale summaries do not follow you across branches. It uses a fast authenticated model and stays quiet when none is available.
