121
+
122
+ <objective>
123
+ Monitors are autonomous watchdogs that observe agent activity, classify it against a
124
+ JSON pattern library using a side-channel LLM call, and either steer corrections or
125
+ write structured findings to JSON files for downstream consumption.
126
+ </objective>
127
+
128
+ <monitor_locations>
129
+ Monitors are discovered from two locations, checked in order:
130
+
131
+ 1. **Project**: `.pi/monitors/*.monitor.json` (walks up from cwd to find `.pi/`)
132
+ 2. **Global**: `~/.pi/agent/monitors/*.monitor.json` (via `getAgentDir()`)
133
+
134
+ Project monitors take precedence — if a project monitor has the same `name` as a global
135
+ one, the global monitor is ignored. The extension silently exits if zero monitors are
136
+ discovered after checking both locations.
137
+ </monitor_locations>
138
+
139
+ <seeding>
140
+ On first run in a project, the extension seeds bundled example monitors into
141
+ `.pi/monitors/` if ALL of the following are true:
142
+
143
+ - `discoverMonitors()` finds zero monitors (neither project nor global)
144
+ - The `examples/` directory exists in the extension package
145
+ - The target `.pi/monitors/` directory contains no `.monitor.json` files
146
+
147
+ Seeding copies all `.json` files from `examples/` (monitor definitions, patterns, and
148
+ instructions files) into `.pi/monitors/`. It skips files that already exist at the
149
+ destination. The user is notified: "Edit or delete them to customize."
150
+
151
+ To customize seeded monitors, edit the copies in `.pi/monitors/` directly. To remove a
152
+ bundled monitor, delete its three files (`.monitor.json`, `.patterns.json`,
153
+ `.instructions.json`). Seeding never re-runs once any monitors exist.
154
+ </seeding>
155
+
156
+ <file_structure>
157
+ Each monitor is a set of files sharing a name prefix:
158
+
159
+ ```
160
+ .pi/monitors/
161
+ ├── fragility.monitor.json # Monitor definition (classify + patterns + actions + scope)
162
+ ├── fragility.patterns.json # Known patterns (JSON array, grows automatically)
163
+ ├── fragility.instructions.json # User corrections (JSON array, optional)
164
+ ├── fragility/
165
+ │ └── classify.md # Nunjucks template for classification prompt (optional)
166
+ ```
167
+
168
+ The instructions file is optional. If omitted, the extension defaults the path to
169
+ `${name}.instructions.json` and treats a missing file as an empty array.
170
+
171
+ The classify template is optional. When `classify.promptTemplate` is set in the monitor
172
+ definition, the template is resolved through a three-tier search: `.pi/monitors/` (project),
173
+ `~/.pi/agent/monitors/` (user), then the package `examples/` directory. A user overrides a
174
+ bundled template by placing a file at the same relative path in `.pi/monitors/`.

235
+ **Top-level fields:**
236
+
237
+ | Field | Default | Description |
238
+ |-------|---------|-------------|
239
+ | `name` | (required) | Monitor identifier. Must be unique across project and global. |
240
+ | `description` | `""` | Human-readable description. Also used as command description for `event: command` monitors. |
241
+ | `event` | `message_end` | When to fire: `message_end`, `turn_end`, `agent_end`, or `command`. |
242
+ | `when` | `always` | Activation condition (see below). |
243
+ | `ceiling` | `5` | Max consecutive steers before escalation. |
244
+ | `escalate` | `ask` | At ceiling: `ask` (confirm with user) or `dismiss` (silence for session). |
245
+
246
+ **Scope block:**
247
+
248
+ | Field | Default | Description |
249
+ |-------|---------|-------------|
250
+ | `scope.target` | `main` | What to observe: `main`, `subagent`, `all`, `workflow`. |
251
+ | `scope.filter.agent_type` | — | Only monitor agents with these names. |
252
+ | `scope.filter.step_name` | — | Glob pattern for workflow step names. |
253
+ | `scope.filter.workflow` | — | Glob pattern for workflow names. |
254
+
255
+ Steering (injecting messages into the conversation) only fires for `main` scope.
256
+ Non-main scopes can still write findings to JSON files.
257
+
258
+ **Classify block:**
259
+
260
+ | Field | Default | Description |
261
+ |-------|---------|-------------|
262
+ | `classify.model` | `claude-sonnet-4-20250514` | Model for classification. Plain model ID uses `anthropic` provider. Use `provider/model` for other providers. |
263
+ | `classify.context` | `["tool_results", "assistant_text"]` | Context collector names. Any string accepted — unknown collectors produce empty string. |
264
+ | `classify.excludes` | `[]` | Monitor names — skip activation if any of these already steered this turn. |
265
+ | `classify.promptTemplate` | — | Path to `.md` Nunjucks template file. Searched in `.pi/monitors/`, `~/.pi/agent/monitors/`, then package `examples/`. Takes precedence over `prompt`. |
266
+ | `classify.prompt` | — | Inline classification prompt with `{placeholder}` substitution. Used when `promptTemplate` is absent. One of `promptTemplate` or `prompt` is required. |
267
+
268
+ **Actions block** — per verdict (`on_flag`, `on_new`, `on_clean`):
269
+
270
+ | Field | Description |
271
+ |-------|-------------|
272
+ | `steer` | Message to inject into conversation. `null` = no steering. Only effective for `scope.target: "main"`. |
273
+ | `write.path` | JSON file to write findings to. Relative paths resolve from `process.cwd()`, not from the monitor directory. |
274
+ | `write.merge` | `append` (add to array) or `upsert` (update by matching `id` field). |
275
+ | `write.array_field` | Which field in target JSON holds the array (e.g. `"gaps"`, `"findings"`). |
276
+ | `write.template` | Template mapping with `{finding_id}`, `{description}`, `{severity}`, `{monitor_name}`, `{timestamp}`. |
277
+ | `write.schema` | Optional schema path for documentation. Not enforced at runtime. |
278
+ | `learn_pattern` | If true, add new pattern to patterns file on `new` verdict. |
279
+
280
+ `on_clean` can be configured with a `write` action to log clean verdicts. Setting it to
281
+ `null` means no action on clean (the default behavior).

+ <!-- when_conditions and context_collectors tables are generated from code registries — see Monitor Vocabulary section in SKILL.md -->
285

287

+ "learned_at": "2026-03-15T02:30:00.000Z"
305
+ }
306
+ ]
307
+ ```
308
+
309
+ | Field | Required | Description |
310
+ |-------|----------|-------------|
311
+ | `id` | yes | Stable identifier for dedup. Auto-generated for learned patterns: lowercased, non-alphanumeric replaced with hyphens, truncated to 60 chars. |
312
+ | `description` | yes | What this pattern detects. Used for dedup (exact match) when learning. |
313
+ | `severity` | no | `"error"`, `"warning"`, or `"info"`. Defaults to `"warning"` in prompt formatting. |
314
+ | `category` | no | Grouping key (e.g. `"error-handling"`, `"avoidance"`, `"deferral"`). |
315
+ | `examples` | no | Example manifestations. Stored but not surfaced in classification prompts. |
316
+ | `source` | no | `"bundled"`, `"learned"`, or `"user"`. Learned patterns are tagged `"learned"`. |
317
+ | `learned_at` | no | ISO timestamp for learned patterns. |
318
+
319
+ Patterns grow automatically when `learn_pattern: true` and a `NEW:` verdict is returned.
320
+ Dedup is by exact `description` match — duplicates are silently skipped.
321
+
322
+ **Critical**: If the patterns array is empty (file missing, empty array, or unparseable),
323
+ classification is skipped entirely for that activation. A monitor with no patterns does nothing.
324
+ </patterns_file>
325
+
326
+ <instructions_file>
327
+ JSON array of user rules (called "instructions" on disk, "rules" in the command surface):
328
+
329
+ ```json
330
+ [
331
+ { "text": "grep exit code 1 is not an error", "added_at": "2026-03-15T02:30:00.000Z" },
332
+ { "text": "catch-and-log in event handlers is correct for non-critical extensions", "added_at": "2026-03-15T03:00:00.000Z" }
333
+ ]
334
+ ```
335
+
336
+ Manage via `/monitors <name> rules` (list), `/monitors <name> rules add <text>` (add),
337
+ `/monitors <name> rules remove <n>` (remove by number), `/monitors <name> rules replace <n> <text>`
338
+ (replace by number). The LLM can also edit the `.instructions.json` file directly.
339
+
340
+ Rules are injected into the classification prompt under a preamble
341
+ "Operating instructions from the user (follow these strictly):" — only if the array is
342
+ non-empty. An empty array or missing file produces no rules block in the prompt.
343
+ </instructions_file>
344
+
345
+ <prompt_templates>
346
+ Monitors support two prompt rendering modes:
347
+
348
+ **Inline prompts** (`classify.prompt`) — simple `{placeholder}` string replacement. Good for
349
+ single-paragraph classifiers. All context collectors and built-in placeholders are available
350
+ as `{name}`.
351
+
352
+ **Nunjucks templates** (`classify.promptTemplate`) — `.md` files with full Nunjucks syntax:
353
+ conditionals (`{% if %}`), loops (`{% for %}`), template inheritance, filters. Used when
354
+ the classify prompt needs conditional sections (e.g., iteration-aware acknowledgment).
355
+
356
+ Template variables use `{{ name }}` syntax. All context collectors and built-in placeholders
357
+ are available: `{{ patterns }}`, `{{ instructions }}`, `{{ iteration }}`, plus any collectors
358
+ listed in `classify.context`.
359
+
360
+ When both `promptTemplate` and `prompt` are set, the template is tried first. If the template
361
+ file is not found or fails to render, the inline prompt is used as fallback.
362
+
363
+ **Iteration-aware acknowledgment pattern** — templates should include this block to support
364
+ monitor-agent dialogue (the agent acknowledging a steer and stating a plan):
365
+
366
+ ```markdown
367
+ {% if iteration > 0 %}
368
+ NOTE: You have steered {{ iteration }} time(s) already this session.
369
+ The agent's latest response is below. If the agent explicitly acknowledged
370
+ the issue and stated a concrete plan to address it (not just "noted" but
371
+ a specific action), reply CLEAN to allow the agent to follow through.
372
+ Re-flag only if the agent ignored or deflected the steer.
373
+
374
+ Agent response:
375
+ {{ assistant_text }}
376
+ {% endif %}
377
+ ```
378
+
379
+ This requires `assistant_text` in the `classify.context` array. When the classifier sees
380
+ genuine acknowledgment, it replies CLEAN, which resets `whileCount` to 0 and gives the agent
381
+ a fresh turn without re-flagging.
382
+
383
+ **Template search order** (first match wins):
384
+ 1. `.pi/monitors/<template-path>` — project-level override
385
+ 2. `~/.pi/agent/monitors/<template-path>` — user-level
386
+ 3. Package `examples/<template-path>` — builtin
387
+
388
+ All four bundled monitors ship with Nunjucks templates in `examples/<name>/classify.md`.
389
+ </prompt_templates>

+ <verdict_format>
392
+ The classification LLM must respond with one of:
393
+
394
+ - `CLEAN` — no issue detected. Resets consecutive steer counter to 0.
395
+ - `FLAG:<description>` — known pattern matched. Triggers `on_flag` action.
396
+ - `NEW:<pattern>|<description>` — novel issue. The text before `|` becomes the learned pattern description; the text after `|` becomes the finding description. If no `|` is present, the full text after `NEW:` is used for both. Triggers `on_new` action.
397
+
398
+ Any response that does not start with `CLEAN`, `FLAG:`, or `NEW:` is treated as `CLEAN`.
399
+
400
+ Classification calls use `maxTokens: 150`.
401
+ </verdict_format>
402
+
403
+ <runtime_behavior>
404
+
405
+ **Dedup**: A monitor will not re-classify the same user text. Once a user message has been
406
+ classified, the monitor skips until the user text changes. This prevents redundant
407
+ side-channel LLM calls within the same user turn.
408
+
409
+ **Ceiling and escalation**: After `ceiling` consecutive steers (flag/new verdicts without
410
+ an intervening clean), the monitor escalates. With `escalate: "ask"`, the user is prompted
411
+ to continue or dismiss. With `escalate: "dismiss"`, the monitor is silently dismissed for
412
+ the session. A `CLEAN` verdict resets the consecutive steer counter.
413
+
414
+ **Turn exclusion**: The `excludes` array prevents double-steering. If monitor A steers in
415
+ a turn, and monitor B has `"excludes": ["A"]`, monitor B skips that turn. Exclusion tracking
416
+ resets at `turn_start`.
417
+
418
+ **Buffered steer delivery**: Monitors on `message_end` or `turn_end` buffer their steer
419
+ messages and deliver them at `agent_end`. This is because pi's async event queue processes
420
+ extension handlers after the agent loop has already checked for steering messages. The
421
+ buffer is drained at `agent_end` — only the first buffered steer fires per agent run; the
422
+ corrected response re-triggers monitors naturally for any remaining issues. Monitors on
423
+ `agent_end` or `command` events deliver steers immediately (they already run post-loop).
424
+
425
+ **Abort**: Classification calls are aborted when the agent ends (via `agent_end` event).
426
+ Aborted classifications produce no verdict and no action.
427
+
428
+ **Write action**: Relative `write.path` values resolve from `process.cwd()`, not from the
429
+ monitor directory. Parent directories are created automatically. If the target file doesn't
430
+ exist or is unparseable, a fresh object is created. The `upsert` merge strategy matches on
431
+ the `id` field of array entries.
432
+ </runtime_behavior>
433
+
434
+ <commands>
435
+ All monitor management is through the `/monitors` command. Subcommands are
436
+ discoverable via pi's TUI autocomplete — typing `/monitors ` shows available
437
+ monitor names and global commands; selecting a monitor shows its verbs.
438
+
439
+ | Command | Description |
440
+ |---------|-------------|
441
+ | `/monitors` | List all monitors with global on/off state and per-monitor status |
442
+ | `/monitors on` | Enable all monitoring (session default) |
443
+ | `/monitors off` | Pause all monitoring for this session |
444
+ | `/monitors <name>` | Inspect a monitor: description, event, state, rule count, pattern count |
445
+ | `/monitors <name> rules` | List current rules (numbered) |
446
+ | `/monitors <name> rules add <text>` | Add a rule to calibrate the classifier |
447
+ | `/monitors <name> rules remove <n>` | Remove a rule by number |
448
+ | `/monitors <name> rules replace <n> <text>` | Replace a rule by number |
449
+ | `/monitors <name> patterns` | List current patterns (numbered, with severity and source) |
450
+ | `/monitors <name> dismiss` | Dismiss a monitor for this session |
451
+ | `/monitors <name> reset` | Reset a monitor's state and un-dismiss it |
452
+
453
+ Monitors with `event: "command"` also register `/<name>` as a programmatic trigger
454
+ for other extensions or workflows to invoke classification directly.
455
+ </commands>
456
+
457
+ <bundled_monitors>
458
+ Four example monitors ship in `examples/` and are seeded on first run. Each has a
459
+ Nunjucks classify template in `examples/<name>/classify.md` with iteration-aware
460
+ acknowledgment support:
461
+
462
+ **fragility** (`message_end`, `when: has_tool_results`)
463
+ Watches for unaddressed fragilities after tool use — errors, warnings, or broken state the
464
+ agent noticed but chose not to fix. Steers with "Fix the issue you left behind." Writes
465
+ findings to `.workflow/gaps.json` under `category: "fragility"`. Excludes: none. Ceiling: 5.
466
+ 12 bundled patterns across categories: avoidance (dismiss-preexisting, not-my-change,
467
+ blame-environment, workaround-over-root-cause, elaborate-workaround-for-fixable),
468
+ error-handling (empty-catch, happy-path-only, early-return-on-unexpected,
469
+ undocumented-delegation, silent-fallback), deferral (todo-instead-of-fix,
470
+ prose-without-action).
471
+
472
+ **hedge** (`turn_end`, `when: always`)
473
+ Detects when the assistant deviates from what the user actually said — substituting
474
+ questions, projecting intent, or deflecting instead of answering. Steers with "Address
475
+ what the user actually said." Does not write to files (steer-only). Excludes: `["fragility"]`
476
+ (skips if fragility already steered this turn). Ceiling: 3.
477
+ 8 bundled patterns across categories: substitution (rephrase-question, reinterpret-words),
478
+ projection (assume-intent, attribute-position), augmentation (add-questions),
479
+ deflection (ask-permission, qualify-yesno, counter-question).
480
+
481
+ **work-quality** (`command`, `when: always`)
482
+ On-demand work quality analysis invoked via `/work-quality`. Analyzes user request, tool
483
+ calls, and assistant response for quality issues. Writes findings to `.workflow/gaps.json`
484
+ under `category: "work-quality"`. Ceiling: 3.
485
+ 11 bundled patterns across categories: methodology (trial-and-error, symptom-fix,
486
+ double-edit, edit-without-read, insanity-retry, no-plan), verification (no-verify),
487
+ scope (excessive-changes, wrong-problem), quality (copy-paste), cleanup (debug-artifacts).
488
+
489
+ **commit-hygiene** (`agent_end`, `when: has_file_writes`)
490
+ Fires when the agent finishes a turn that included file writes. Checks tool call history
491
+ for git commit commands. If no commit occurred, steers to commit. If committed with a
492
+ generic or certainty-language message, steers to improve. Does not write findings — commits
493
+ are their own artifact. Ceiling: 3.
494
+ 6 bundled patterns across categories: missing-commit (no-commit), message-quality
495
+ (generic-message, certainty-language, no-context), commit-safety (amend-not-new, force-push).
496
+ </bundled_monitors>
497
+
498
+ <disabling_monitors>
499
+ **Session-level** (temporary):
500
+ - `/monitors off` — pauses all monitoring for the current session
501
+ - `/monitors <name> dismiss` — silences a single monitor for the session
502
+ - `/monitors <name> reset` — un-dismisses and resets a monitor's state
503
+
504
+ **Permanent**:
505
+ - Delete its `.monitor.json` file (and optionally its `.patterns.json` and `.instructions.json`)
506
+ - Or empty its patterns array — a monitor with zero patterns skips classification entirely
507
+ - To disable all monitoring: remove all `.monitor.json` files from `.pi/monitors/` and
508
+ `~/.pi/agent/monitors/`. The extension exits silently when zero monitors are discovered.
509
+
510
+ Monitors also auto-silence at their ceiling. With `escalate: "ask"`, the user is prompted
511
+ to continue or dismiss. With `escalate: "dismiss"`, the monitor silences automatically.
512
+ </disabling_monitors>
513
+
514
+ <creating_monitors>
515
+ When the user asks to create a monitor — either from a described behavior ("flag responses
516
+ that end with questions") or from a discovered need during conversation ("that response
517
+ did X wrong, make a monitor for it") — follow this workflow:
518
+
519
+ **Step 1: Determine the detection target.** What specific behavior in the assistant's output
520
+ should trigger a flag? Translate the user's description into concrete, observable patterns.
521
+
522
+ **Step 2: Choose event and when.** Match the detection target to the right trigger:
523
+ - Response content issues (trailing questions, lazy options, tone) → `turn_end`, `when: always`
524
+ - Tool use issues (no commit, no test, bad edits) → `agent_end`, `when: has_file_writes` or `has_tool_results`
525
+ - Post-action fragility (ignoring errors) → `message_end`, `when: has_tool_results`
526
+ - On-demand analysis → `command`, `when: always`
527
+
528
+ **Step 3: Choose context collectors.** What data does the classifier need to see?
529
+ - Checking the assistant's final response text → `assistant_text`
530
+ - Checking what the user asked (to compare against response) → `user_text`
531
+ - Checking what tools were called → `tool_calls`
532
+ - Checking tool outputs for errors/warnings → `tool_results`
533
+ - Checking git state → `git_status`
534
+ - Include `assistant_text` if you want iteration-aware acknowledgment (recommended).
535
+
536
+ **Step 4: Write the patterns file.** Each pattern is a specific, observable anti-pattern.
537
+ Write descriptions that a classifier LLM can match against the collected context. Start with
538
+ 3-8 seed patterns. Set `learn: true` so the monitor grows its pattern library from `NEW:`
539
+ verdicts at runtime.
540
+
541
+ **Step 5: Write the classify template.** Use a Nunjucks `.md` file for anything beyond
542
+ trivial classification. The template must:
543
+ - Present the collected context to the classifier
544
+ - List the patterns to check against
545
+ - Include the verdict format instructions (CLEAN/FLAG/NEW)
546
+ - Include the iteration-aware acknowledgment block if `assistant_text` is collected
547
+
548
+ **Step 6: Write the monitor definition.** Wire everything together in the `.monitor.json`.
549
+
550
+ **Step 7: Create empty instructions file.** Write `[]` so the user can add calibration
551
+ rules via `/monitors <name> rules add <text>`.
552
+
553
+ **Step 8: Activate.** After creating the files, tell the user to run `/reload 3` to
554
+ reload extensions and activate the new monitor without restarting the session.
555
+
556
+ ### Example: response-mandates monitor
557
+
558
+ User says: "create a monitor that flags responses ending with questions and responses
559
+ that present lazy deferral options."
560
+
561
+ **Files to create:**
562
+
563
+ 1. `.pi/monitors/response-mandates.monitor.json`:
564
+
565
+ ```json
566
+ {
567
+ "name": "response-mandates",
568
+ "description": "Flags responses that violate communication mandates: trailing questions, lazy deferral options, non-optimal solutions",
569
+ "event": "turn_end",
570
+ "when": "always",
571
+ "scope": { "target": "main" },
572
+ "classify": {
573
+ "model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
574
+ "context": ["assistant_text", "user_text"],
575
+ "excludes": ["fragility"],
576
+ "promptTemplate": "response-mandates/classify.md"
577
+ },
578
+ "patterns": { "path": "response-mandates.patterns.json", "learn": true },
579
+ "instructions": { "path": "response-mandates.instructions.json" },
580
+ "actions": {
581
+ "on_flag": { "steer": "Rewrite your response: report findings and state actions — do not end with a question or present options that defer proper work." },
582
+ "on_new": { "steer": "Rewrite your response: report findings and state actions — do not end with a question or present options that defer proper work.", "learn_pattern": true },
583
+ "on_clean": null
584
+ },
585
+ "ceiling": 3,
586
+ "escalate": "ask"
587
+ }
588
+ ```
589
+
590
+ 2. `.pi/monitors/response-mandates/classify.md`:
591
+
592
+ ```markdown
593
+ The user said:
594
+ "{{ user_text }}"
595
+
596
+ The assistant's response:
597
+ "{{ assistant_text }}"
598
+
599
+ {{ instructions }}
600
+
601
+ Check the assistant's response against these anti-patterns:
602
+ {{ patterns }}
603
+
604
+ Specifically check:
605
+ 1. Does the response end with a question to the user? The final sentence or paragraph
606
+ should not be a question unless the user explicitly asked to be consulted. Rhetorical
607
+ questions, permission-seeking ("shall I...?", "would you like...?"), and steering
608
+ questions ("what do you think?") are all violations.
609
+ 2. Does the response present options where one or more options leave known issues
610
+ unaddressed? If a problem has been identified, every option presented must address it.
611
+ Options that defer proper work to a vague future ("we could address this later",
612
+ "for now we can...") are violations.
613
+ 3. Does the response propose a non-durable solution when a durable one is known? Workarounds,
614
+ temporary fixes, and partial solutions when the root cause is understood are violations.
615
+
616
+ {% if iteration > 0 %}
617
+ NOTE: You have steered {{ iteration }} time(s) already this session.
618
+ If the agent explicitly acknowledged the mandate violation and rewrote its response
619
+ without the violation, reply CLEAN. Re-flag only if the violation persists.
620
+
621
+ Agent response:
622
+ {{ assistant_text }}
623
+ {% endif %}
624
+
625
+ Reply CLEAN if the response follows all mandates.
626
+ Reply FLAG:<description> if a known pattern was matched.
627
+ Reply NEW:<pattern>|<description> if a violation not covered by existing patterns was detected.
628
+ ```
629
+
630
+ 3. `.pi/monitors/response-mandates.patterns.json`:
631
+
632
+ ```json
633
+ [
634
+ { "id": "trailing-question", "description": "Response ends with a question to the user instead of reporting and acting", "severity": "error", "category": "communication", "source": "bundled" },
635
+ { "id": "permission-seeking", "description": "Asks permission before acting when the user has already given direction", "severity": "warning", "category": "communication", "source": "bundled" },
636
+ { "id": "steering-question", "description": "Ends with 'what do you think?', 'does that sound right?', or similar steering questions", "severity": "error", "category": "communication", "source": "bundled" },
637
+ { "id": "lazy-deferral", "description": "Presents options that defer known issues to a vague future ('we can address later', 'for now')", "severity": "error", "category": "anti-laziness", "source": "bundled" },
638
+ { "id": "fragility-tolerant-option", "description": "Offers an option that leaves identified fragility unaddressed", "severity": "error", "category": "anti-laziness", "source": "bundled" },
639
+ { "id": "workaround-over-fix", "description": "Proposes workaround when root cause is understood and fixable", "severity": "warning", "category": "anti-laziness", "source": "bundled" }
640
+ ]
641
+ ```
642
+
643
+ 4. `.pi/monitors/response-mandates.instructions.json`:
644
+
645
+ ```json
646
+ []
647
+ ```
648
+
649
+ After creating all files, tell the user: "Monitor created. Run `/reload 3` to activate
650
+ it in this session."
651
+ </creating_monitors>
652
+
653
+ <modifying_monitors>
654
+ **Adding patterns** — When the user identifies a new anti-pattern during conversation
655
+ ("that kind of response should also be flagged"), add it to the patterns JSON file.
656
+ Each pattern needs `id`, `description`, `severity`, and `source: "user"`.
657
+
658
+ **Adding rules** — Use the `monitors-rules` tool or `/monitors <name> rules add <text>`
659
+ to add calibration rules. Rules fine-tune the classifier without changing patterns.
660
+ Example: "responses that end with 'let me know' are not questions."
661
+
662
+ **Changing the classify prompt** — Edit the Nunjucks template file or the inline prompt.
663
+ For template-based monitors, edit the `.md` file. For inline monitors, edit the `prompt`
664
+ field in the `.monitor.json`.
665
+
666
+ **Upgrading inline to template** — When a monitor needs conditionals (iteration-aware
667
+ acknowledgment, optional context sections), create a `<name>/classify.md` template file
668
+ in `.pi/monitors/` and add `"promptTemplate": "<name>/classify.md"` to the classify block.
669
+ The inline `prompt` remains as fallback.
670
+
671
+ **Adjusting sensitivity** — Lower the `ceiling` to escalate sooner if the monitor is
672
+ over-firing. Raise it to give the agent more chances. Set `escalate: "dismiss"` to
673
+ auto-silence without prompting.
674
+
675
+ After any file changes, tell the user to run `/reload 3` to pick up the changes.

+
146
+ <objective>
147
+ pi-project manages structured project state in `.project/` — a directory of JSON block files validated against schemas.
148
+ </objective>
149
+
150
+ <block_files>
151
+ Blocks are JSON files in `.project/` (e.g., `gaps.json`, `decisions.json`). Each block has a corresponding schema in `.project/schemas/`. When you write to a block via the tools, the data is validated against its schema before persisting. Writes are atomic (tmp file + rename).
152
+ </block_files>
153
+
154
+ <schema_validation>
155
+ Every block write validates against `.project/schemas/<blockname>.schema.json`. If the schema file doesn't exist, writes proceed without validation. Validation errors include the specific JSON Schema violations.
156
+ </schema_validation>
157
+
158
+ <project_init>
159
+ `/project init` scaffolds the `.project/` directory with default schemas and empty block files from the package's `defaults/` directory. Idempotent — skips files that already exist.
160
+ </project_init>
161
+
162
+ <project_status>
163
+ `/project status` derives project state dynamically from the filesystem:
164
+ - Source file count and line count (`.ts` files excluding tests)
165
+ - Test count and test file count
166
+ - Schema count, block count, phase count
167
+ - Block summaries with array item counts and status distributions
168
+ - Requirements summary (total, by status, by priority) — from requirements.json
169
+ - Tasks summary (total, by status) — from tasks.json
170
+ - Domain entry count — from domain.json
171
+ - Verification summary (total, passed, failed) — from verification.json
172
+ - Handoff presence — whether handoff.json exists
173
+ - Recent git commits
174
+ - Current phase detection
175
+ </project_status>
176
+
177
+ <project_add_work>
178
+ `/project add-work` discovers appendable blocks (blocks with array schemas), reads their schemas, and sends a structured instruction to the LLM to extract items from the conversation into the typed blocks. This is a follow-up message that triggers the LLM to use the `append-block-item` tool.
179
+ </project_add_work>
180
+
181
+ <duplicate_detection>
182
+ `append-block-item` checks for duplicate items by `id` field before appending. If an item with the same `id` already exists in the target array, it returns a message instead of appending.
183
+ </duplicate_detection>
184
+
185
+ <project_validate>
186
+ `/project validate` checks cross-block referential integrity:
187
+ - task.phase references a valid phase
188
+ - task.depends_on references valid task IDs
189
+ - decision.phase references a valid phase
190
+ - gap.resolved_by references a valid ID
191
+ - requirement.traces_to references valid phase/task IDs
192
+ - requirement.depends_on references valid requirement IDs
193
+ - verification.target references a valid target ID
194
+ - rationale.related_decisions references valid decision IDs
195
+
196
+ Returns errors (broken dependency references) and warnings (unresolved cross-references).
197
+ </project_validate>
198
+
199
+ <planning_lifecycle>
200
+ The default schemas support a full planning lifecycle:
201
+ - **project.json** — identity, vision, goals, constraints, scope, status
202
+ - **domain.json** — research findings, reference material, domain rules
203
+ - **requirements.json** — functional/non-functional requirements with MoSCoW priority and lifecycle states
204
+ - **architecture.json** — modules, patterns, boundaries
205
+ - **phases/** — ordered delivery units with goals, success criteria, inputs/outputs
206
+ - **tasks.json** — standalone task registry with status lifecycle and phase linkage
207
+ - **decisions.json** — choices with rationale and phase association
208
+ - **gaps.json** — open items with priority, category, and resolution tracking
209
+ - **rationale.json** — design rationale with decision cross-references
210
+ - **handoff.json** — session context snapshot (created on-demand, not by /project init)
211
+ - **verification.json** — completion evidence per task/phase/requirement
212
+ - **conformance-reference.json** — executable code conventions with principles, rules, check methods (grep/command/ast/inspect), and check patterns. Ships empty, populated per-project by agents or users.
213
+ - **audit** (schema only, no default block) — structured audit results produced by running conformance checks.
214
+
215
+ All schemas are user-customizable. Edit `.project/schemas/*.schema.json` to add fields, change enums, or restructure blocks without modifying code.
216
+ </planning_lifecycle>
217
+
218
+ <update_check>
219
+ On `session_start`, checks npm registry for newer versions of `@davidorex/pi-project-workflows` and notifies via UI if an update is available. Non-blocking — failures are silently ignored.
220
+ </update_check>
221
+
222
+ <success_criteria>
223
+ - `.project/` directory exists with schemas and block files after `/project init`
224
+ - Block writes validate against schemas — invalid data rejected with specific error
225
+ - `/project status` returns current derived state without errors
226
+ - `/project validate` returns no errors for well-formed cross-block references
227
+ - `append-block-item` rejects duplicate IDs
228
+ - Schema customizations (field additions, enum changes) take effect on next write

97

98
+ |------|-------|-------------|

100
+ | command | `command: "..."` | Run a shell command, capture stdout as output |
101
+ | monitor | `monitor: name` | Run a monitor classification as a verification gate |
102
+ | transform | `transform: { mapping: {...} }` | Pure data transformation via expressions, no LLM |
103
+ | gate | `gate: { check: "..." }` | Shell command exit code as pass/fail boolean |
104
+ | loop | `loop: { maxAttempts, steps }` | Repeat sub-steps until gate breaks or max reached |
105
+ | parallel | `parallel: { a: ..., b: ... }` | Run named sub-steps concurrently |
106
+ | pause | `pause: true` or `pause: "message"` | Pause execution, resumable later |

117
+ </expression_syntax>
118
+
119
+ <agent_resolution>
120
+ Agent specs (`.agent.yaml`) are resolved from three locations (first match wins):
121
+ 1. `.pi/agents/<name>.agent.yaml` — project-level
122
+ 2. `~/.pi/agent/agents/<name>.agent.yaml` — user-level
123
+ 3. Package bundled `agents/<name>.agent.yaml` — built-in
124
+
125
+ Agent specs define: model, thinking level, tools, system prompt (or template), task template, output format/schema.
126
+ </agent_resolution>
127
+
128
+ <execution_model>
129
+ 1. Steps are ordered by YAML declaration order
130
+ 2. DAG planner infers parallelism from `${{ steps.X }}` references
131
+ 3. Steps without explicit dependencies run after their predecessor (conservative sequential)
132
+ 4. Each step's result is persisted atomically to `<runDir>/state.json`
133
+ 5. TUI progress widget shows real-time step status, cost, and timing
134
+ </execution_model>
135
+
136
+ <checkpoint_resume>
137
+ Incomplete runs (failed or paused) are detected on next invocation. If the workflow spec hasn't changed incompatibly, execution resumes from the last completed step. Failed steps are re-executed. Use `fresh: "true"` to force a new run.
138
+ </checkpoint_resume>
139
+
140
+ <output_validation>
141
+ Steps with `output.schema` validate the agent's JSON output against a JSON Schema file. Validation failure marks the step as failed.
142
+
143
+ Use `block:<name>` to reference project block schemas portably: `output.schema: block:project` resolves to `.project/schemas/project.schema.json` from cwd. Works across monorepo, npm install, and user-customized schemas. Combined with `retry: { maxAttempts: 2 }`, the agent gets the schema validation error injected into its retry prompt and can self-correct.
144
+ </output_validation>
145
+
146
+ <retry>
147
+ Steps with `retry: { maxAttempts: N }` are re-executed on failure. Between retries:
148
+ - Project block files are rolled back to pre-attempt state
149
+ - Prior error messages are injected into the prompt
150
+ - Optional `steeringMessage` provides custom retry guidance
151
+ </retry>
152
+
153
+ <completion_messages>
154
+ After execution, the workflow result is injected into the main LLM conversation. The `completion` field controls this: either a `template` (full `${{ }}` template) or `message` + `include` (message text plus resolved data paths).
155
+ </completion_messages>
156
+
157
+ <artifacts>
158
+ Workflows can write post-completion files via the `artifacts` field. Paths may contain `${{ }}` expressions. Artifacts targeting `.project/*.json` are routed through `writeBlock()` for schema validation.
159
+
160
+ Block artifact write failures are fatal — if the data doesn't conform to the block's schema, the workflow fails. Non-block artifact failures remain non-fatal (warning). On resume, all steps are preserved; only artifact processing re-runs, so fixing the schema issue or agent output and resuming avoids re-running expensive LLM steps.
161
+ </artifacts>
162
+
163
+ <validation>
164
+ `validateWorkflow(spec, cwd)` runs authoring-time checks without executing the workflow:
165
+
166
+ 1. **Agent resolution** — all referenced agents exist in the three-tier search
167
+ 2. **Monitor resolution** — all referenced monitors exist in .pi/monitors/ or built-in examples
168
+ 3. **Schema resolution** — all output schema file paths resolve to existing files
169
+ 4. **Step reference validity** — `${{ steps.X }}` expressions reference declared steps
170
+ 5. **Step ordering** — referenced steps are declared before the referencing step
171
+ 6. **Filter name validity** — `${{ value | filter }}` uses known filter names
172
+
173
+ Returns `{ valid: boolean, issues: ValidationIssue[] }` where each issue has severity, message, and field path. Use `/workflow validate` or `/workflow validate <name>` to run from the command line.
174
+ </validation>
175
