Pi-Pompom — A 3D raymarched virtual pet with voice, ambient weather sounds, AI side chat, agent tracking, and 23 layered sound effects for Pi CLI

Package Exports

    This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@codexstar/pi-pompom) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

    Pompom is an interactive coding companion for Pi CLI. It renders a real-time 3D raymarched creature above your editor, speaks with natural TTS voices, plays ambient weather soundscapes, tracks your coding agent's mood, offers an AI side chat, and reacts emotionally to hunger, tiredness, and your interactions.

    Install

    pi install @codexstar/pi-pompom

    Quick Start

    Pompom appears automatically when you start Pi. Toggle it with:

    /pompom on
/pompom off

    Open the interactive settings panel with /pompom-settings — 9 tabs covering every feature, no commands to memorize.

    Features

    3D Rendering

    • Raymarched body with real-time lighting, shadows, and floor reflections
    • Hybrid renderer: Unicode quadrant blocks at edges (2x detail), half-blocks in smooth areas
    • Kawaii face: white sclera eyes, brown iris, layered pupil/highlights, bright face plate
    • 4 color themes: Cloud, Cotton Candy, Mint Drop, Sunset Gold
    • Natural animations: blinking, breathing, ear wiggling, tail wagging
    • Widget re-renders at ~7 FPS via 150ms interval

    Scene & Weather

    • Smooth sky color transitions (dawn to dusk via keyframe interpolation)
    • Sun disk with halo, crescent moon with glow, twinkling stars
    • Rolling hills, swaying grass, drifting cloud wisps
    • 5 weather types: clear, cloudy, rain, storm, snow
    • Weather transitions naturally every 30 min to 2 hours
    • Rain streaks, storm lightning, gentle snowfall with wind drift

    Text-to-Speech (3 Engines)

    Engine Type Voices Special Features
    ElevenLabs Cloud (best quality) 19 voices v3 audio tags: [laughs], [sighs], [excited], [whispers], [crying]
    Deepgram Cloud 5 Aura-2 voices Natural prosody from punctuation
    Kokoro Local (free, no API) 8 voices Markdown pronunciation [word](/IPA/), stress control

    Audio tags are engine-aware — ElevenLabs keeps [laughs], Kokoro and Deepgram get them stripped automatically. No engine loses features because of another.

    6 Voice Personalities

    Mode Behavior
    Quiet User actions + errors only
    Normal Moderate, casual (default)
    Chatty Frequent commentary
    Professional Errors, milestones, direct actions
    Mentor Guides on errors and completions
    Zen Near-silent, speaks only when addressed

    Emotional Reactions

    Pompom expresses natural emotions based on her needs using ElevenLabs v3 audio tags:

    • Hungry (<30%): [sad] My tummy is rumbling..., [crying] Feed me!
    • Starving (<15%): [wheezing] Everything looks like food...
    • Tired (<15%): [whispers] Just five more minutes..., [sighs] I'm so sleepy...
    • Happy (>80%): [laughs] Life is good!, [sings] La la la, happy me!
    • Playful (>60%): [excited] Let's play a game!, [mischievously] Wanna throw the ball?
    • Fed while starving: [excited] FINALLY! Food! Oh that's SO good!
    • Treat while desperate: [crying] Oh my gosh... a TREAT! Thank you so much!

    Rate-limited to one emotional line every 45 seconds.

    Ambient Weather Sounds

    Background audio that matches the current weather, with layered one-shot sound effects.

    Ambient loops (continuous, looping):

    • Custom audio from Envato Elements or any source — drop files in ~/.pi/pompom/ambient/custom/
    • Falls back to ElevenLabs Sound Effects API generation (cached locally)
    • Auto-ducks to 20% during voice playback

    23 layered sound effects (one-shot, contextual):

    Category Effects
    Weather thunder, bird_chirp, bee_buzz, wind_gust, rain_drip
    Actions pet_purr, eat_crunch, ball_bounce, hug_squeeze, sleep_snore, wake_yawn, dance_sparkle, flip_whoosh
    Events star_chime, game_start, game_end, hide_tiptoe, peek_surprise, firefly_twinkle, color_switch, weather_transition, accessory_equip, footstep_soft

    SFX play at 15% of ambient volume — subtle accents, never distracting.

    Weather Accessories

    • Pompom asks for accessories when weather changes
    • /pompom give umbrella — appears during rain/storm
    • /pompom give scarf — appears during snow
    • /pompom give sunglasses — appears in clear weather
    • /pompom give hat — a cute collectible
    • Accessories persist across sessions

    Mini-Game: Star Catcher

    • /pompom game starts a 20-second challenge
    • Golden stars fall from the sky with sparkle effects
    • Star chime plays on each catch
    • Score announced with game-end jingle

    Side Chat

    Press Alt+/ or run /pompom:chat to open a floating AI chat panel alongside the main agent.

    • Pompom has her own AI instance running in parallel — doesn't interrupt your main agent
    • Read-only peek_main tool lets Pompom see what the agent is working on
    • Type help for built-in shortcuts: analyze, stuck, recap, status
    • Anchored at the bottom of the viewport, 50% max height
    • Press Esc to close, Alt+/ to toggle focus

    Agent Intelligence

    Pompom watches your coding agent and reacts in real time.

    7 Mood States

    idle → curious → focused → busy → concerned → celebrating → sleepy

    Mood is determined by tool call patterns, error rates, and activity timing. Weather reflects agent state — storm on errors, snow on celebrations.

    Commentary System

    10 event buckets with probability-based speech: agent start/end, tool calls, tool errors, messages. Commentary gap: 30s minimum between lines, 60s for same bucket.

    Stuck Detection

    Monitors 4 signals: error streaks, stalled progress (>5 min), high error rate (>50%), and repetitive tool calls. Pompom alerts with a speech bubble when confidence is high.

    AI Analysis Commands

    • /pompom:ask <question> — ask anything about the current session
    • /pompom:recap — concise session summary
    • /pompom:analyze — deep AI-powered analysis with recommendations
    • /pompom:agents — real-time dashboard: active tools, success rate, mood, timing

    Settings Panel

    Run /pompom-settings to open the interactive 9-tab settings panel.

    Tab What you can do
    Pompom Pet, feed, play — 12 action buttons with mood/hunger/energy bars
    Voice Pick engine, select voice, adjust volume, toggle on/off, test
    Ambient Toggle weather sounds, adjust volume, pregenerate all 5 weather tracks
    Personality Choose from 6 speech modes with descriptions
    Theme Pick from 4 color palettes
    Accessories Give items with descriptions of when they appear
    Model Select AI model for chat/ask/analyze
    Shortcuts Full keyboard reference card with platform-correct symbols
    About Dashboard: mood, hunger, energy, weather, voice, ambient, agent stats

    Navigate with arrow keys, Enter to select, Esc to close. Non-technical users can do everything from the Pompom tab without knowing a single shortcut.

    How It Works

    The renderer is a software raymarcher running in your terminal. Each frame:

    1. Physics simulation updates position, particles, and state machines (60fps sub-stepping)
    2. Scene objects (body, ears, paws, tail, antenna, ball, food, accessories) are built with rotation and oscillation
    3. For each cell, 4 quadrant samples are taken. Edge cells use quadrant characters for 2x horizontal detail. Smooth cells use half-blocks.
    4. Object hits are shaded with diffuse + wrap lighting, ambient occlusion, specular highlights, and firefly point light
    5. The shaded pixels are encoded as ANSI true-color escape sequences
    6. Speech bubbles and particle overlays are composited on top
