pi-subagents AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for a Pi package extension, which adds subagent features to the Pi coding environment. They define where agent, launch, runtime, session, and tool code belongs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning changes to subagents, child-process launching, session files, runtime state, tools, tests, and extension wiring.
Why use it?
They help agents understand the project’s ownership boundaries and avoid putting unrelated code into catch-all folders. They also identify the expected test setup.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pi-subagents AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Read README.md before doing anything. It documents the model, frontmatter, placement policies, and env vars this package exposes.

Package facts

  • This is a Pi package extension. Extension entrypoint is src/index.ts.
  • Tests run on plain node --test (see package.json scripts). npm test and bun test both work.
  • One-off checks (tsc, biome, knip) run via bunx so no extra deps are declared.

Project structure contract

Keep the repository organized by ownership. Do not recreate a catch-all src/subagents/ or generic test/parts/ directory.

Source layout:

  • src/subagents.ts is extension wiring only: event hooks, tool registration, and thin glue.
  • src/agents/ owns agent definitions, catalog messaging, and titles.
  • src/launch/ owns child launch preparation, launch policy, child command construction, resume args, prompt artifacts, runtime path resolution, and session seeding.
  • src/runtime/ owns running state, wait/join, shutdown, background/interactive watchers, result routing, and widgets.
  • src/session/ owns JSONL session helpers and trimmed fork-session logic.
  • src/tools/ owns Pi tool/command implementations and tool policy.
  • src/mux/ owns multiplexer internals; src/mux.ts is the public barrel.
  • src/artifact-storage.ts owns artifact storage roots/paths. src/launch/prompt-artifacts.ts owns writing launch prompt/task artifact files. Do not blur these names.
  • src/types.ts is shared runtime type surface only; do not turn it into a junk drawer.

Test layout:

  • Use test/, not tests/; node --test scripts already target test/.
  • Mirror source ownership in tests. Each domain suite must be imported by test/test.ts, or npm test will not run it.
  • test/support/ is split by ownership; do not recreate a fat test/support.ts. Check the current files with ls rather than assuming.
  • Never name split files part-*, chunk-*, or similar. File names must describe the behavior/domain they test.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
