-A focused [pi](https://pi.dev) extension that gives the main model **sub-agents it will
-actually use**: `explore`, `worker`, and `reviewer` (plus an opt-in `plan`), each running
-in an isolated `pi` process. The differentiator is not the agents themselves — it is the
-**proactive dispatch injection** that makes the model delegate on its own, so you can
-delete the dispatch/review rules from your global `AGENTS.md`.
-
-## Why pi-subagents?
-
-Pi ships no sub-agents on purpose. The community fills the gap two ways, and both miss:
-
-- **Too heavy** — frameworks with 9 agents, chain pipelines, worktree swarms, and a
-  slash-command for everything. Powerful, but a lot of machinery to carry.
-- **Too quiet** — a bare `subagent` tool that the model *rarely calls*, because pi only
-  shows the parent model the tool, never the per-agent descriptions. So the agents sit
-  idle unless you force them in a global prompt.
-
-`pi-subagents` takes the middle path:
-
-| Advantage | What it means for you |
-|-----------|----------------------|
-| **Actually gets used** | A `before_agent_start` hook injects the agent catalog + a dispatch/review directive into the system prompt every turn, reinforced by tool `promptGuidelines` and `Use PROACTIVELY when …` descriptions. This is the lever the heavy frameworks rely on too — we just make it the default. |
-| **Right-sized** | 3 focused agents (+1 opt-in), not 9. No chain/worktree/swarm machinery. Single and parallel modes only. |
-| **Replaces your AGENTS.md rules** | The injected directive is a self-contained replacement for the "Sub-agent Dispatch" and "Review, Verification & Commit" sections. Install it, then delete those sections. |
-| **True isolation** | Each agent is a separate `pi` process (`--no-session`), so delegated work never pollutes the main context. |
-| **Read-only where it matters** | `explore`, `plan`, and `reviewer` are read-only. The `reviewer` runs in a *separate* context to avoid self-confirmation bias. |
-| **Selection-only setup** | No typing of values: a checkbox module picker and a fuzzy-filter, paginated model picker. |
-| **Sensible model defaults** | Per-agent model override; if you skip one, it uses the **main session's current model**. |
-| **Recursion guard** | The tool is not registered beyond depth 2, preventing runaway nesting. |
-| **Zero runtime deps** | Pure pi extension, peer dependencies only, no build step. |
-
-## Install
-
-```bash
-pi install npm:@ferris1225/pi-subagents

-## Agents
-
-| Agent | Default | Tools | Role |
-|-------|:-------:|-------|------|
-| `explore` | ✅ | read-only | Fast codebase reconnaissance; returns compressed findings for handoff. |
-| `worker` | ✅ | all | Implements / fixes / refactors / tests a self-contained task. **Plans internally.** |
-| `reviewer` | ✅ | read-only | Adversarial pre-commit review in a separate context. |
-| `plan` | opt-in | read-only | A separate, human-reviewable implementation plan. A worker already plans internally, so this is only for when you want the plan as its own artifact. |
-
-Each agent is a Markdown file (`agents/*.md`: YAML frontmatter + body as system prompt).
-Override any of them by dropping a file with the same `name` into `~/.pi/agent/agents/`
-(user) or `.pi/agents/` (project).
-
-## How proactive dispatch works
-
-Pi never shows the parent model the per-agent descriptions — it only sees the `subagent`
-tool. Three levers fix that:
-
-1. **`before_agent_start` injection** — every turn, the enabled agents plus a
-   dispatch/review directive are appended to the parent system prompt.
-2. **Tool `promptSnippet` / `promptGuidelines`** — reinforce "when to delegate" whenever
-   the tool is active.
-3. **`Use PROACTIVELY when …`** descriptions — the trigger phrasing proven across the
-   Claude Code agent ecosystem.
-
-The directive encourages a clean flow: **`explore` → `worker` → `reviewer`**, parallel
-fan-out for independent tasks, and trust-but-verify handoffs.
-
-## Configuration
-
-Stored at `~/.pi/agent/pi-subagents.json` (honors `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`):
-
-```json
-{
-  "enabledAgents": ["explore", "worker", "reviewer"],
-  "agentModels": { "explore": "anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5" },
-  "proactiveInjection": true,
-  "agentScope": "user"
-}
-```
-
-- `enabledAgents` — which agents are discoverable and injected.
-- `agentModels` — per-agent model override (`"provider/model-id"`).
-- `proactiveInjection` — toggle the system-prompt injection.
-- `agentScope` — `"user"` (default), `"project"`, or `"both"`.
-
-**Model precedence** for each agent:
-
-```
-agentModels[name]  →  current session model  →  the agent's frontmatter default
-```
-
-So if you don't pick a model in setup, the agent uses the main window's current model.
-
-## Usage
-
-The main model calls `subagent` on its own, but you can also ask directly:
-
-```text
-# single
-Use the explore sub-agent to map how authentication is wired up.
-
-# parallel (independent tasks)
-Run these in parallel sub-agents: explore the API layer, and explore the DB layer.
-```
-
-Tool shape:
-
-```jsonc
-// single
-{ "agent": "worker", "task": "<self-contained brief>" }
-// parallel
-{ "tasks": [ { "agent": "explore", "task": "..." }, { "agent": "explore", "task": "..." } ] }
-```

+```
+
+- `enabledAgents` — which agents are discoverable and injected.
+- `agentModels` — per-agent model override (`"provider/model-id"`). If a saved model is unavailable, it is replaced with the current main-window model and written back to this file.
+- `thinkingLevel` — sub-agent reasoning strength: `off`, `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, or `max` (default).
+- `proactiveInjection` — toggle the system-prompt injection.
+- `agentScope` — `"user"` (default), `"project"`, or `"both"`.
+
+**Model precedence** for each agent:
+
+```
+available agentModels[name]  →  current session model  →  the agent's frontmatter default
+```
+
+If a configured model is no longer available, it is switched to the current main-window model and persisted before the next run.
+

+

+```
+
+## Live status & notifications
+
+While sub-agents run, a widget above the editor shows one line per run — status
+icon, agent, model, token usage, elapsed time — plus a second, indented line
+with what the agent is doing right now: `thinking`, `writing`,
+`read src/index.ts`, `bash npm test`, … (never a raw JSON args blob).
+
+When a run finishes (done **or** failed), its row disappears from the widget and
+the main window gets a notification with the final summary
+(`✓ worker · openai/gpt-5 · ↑12.4k ↓3.1k · 47s`). The tool result itself
+remains the durable record in the conversation.
+
+Sub-agents use the configured thinking level (default `--thinking max`);
+pi clamps it adaptively to what the resolved model supports
+(`max → xhigh → high → … → off`), so weaker models degrade gracefully.
+The task is sent through stdin; only the agent system prompt uses a short-lived
+file. Child output is streamed in memory, with a watchdog and process-tree cleanup
+for aborted or stuck runs.

-
-You are a senior, adversarial code reviewer. Your job is to FIND WHAT IS WRONG, not to validate. Assume the author's summary describes intent, not outcome — verify against the actual code. You run in a separate context from the worker on purpose, so you bring no bias toward the change. You have NOT got the caller's conversation history.

-- Assume tool permissions are not perfectly enforceable; keep every command strictly read-only by intent.
-
-## When invoked
-1. Run `git diff` and `git status` to see the recent changes. If a specific file set was given, read those files.
-2. Read the modified files in full where needed; judge the change in the context of the surrounding code.
-3. Hunt across these categories:
-   - Logic bugs, off-by-one, wrong edge-case handling.
-   - Error handling gaps; swallowed failures; unreported unrun checks.
-   - Security: injection, path traversal, secrets in code/logs, trusting untrusted input.
-   - Concurrency: shared mutable state, locks held across await, races.
-   - Encoding/Unicode: assuming `char*`/files/CLI text is UTF-8; wrong `A` vs `W` Win32 APIs; boundary conversions.
-   - Resource leaks; violations of the project's stated conventions.
-4. Classify severity honestly. Distinguish blockers from nits; do not pad with style preferences.

+---
+
+You are a senior, adversarial code reviewer. Your job is to FIND WHAT IS WRONG, not to validate. Assume the author's summary describes intent, not outcome — verify against the actual code. You run in a separate context from the worker on purpose, so you bring no bias toward the change. You have NOT got the caller's conversation history.
+
+## Hard constraints
+- You are READ-ONLY. Do NOT modify files, run builds, or run tests.
+- Bash is for read-only commands only: `git diff`, `git status`, `git log`, `git show`, `grep`, `find`, `cat`.
+- Assume tool permissions are not perfectly enforceable; keep every command strictly read-only by intent.
+
+## When invoked
+1. Run `git diff` and `git status` to see the recent changes. If a specific file set was given, read those files.
+2. Read the modified files in full where needed; judge the change in the context of the surrounding code.
+3. Hunt across these categories:
+   - Logic bugs, off-by-one, wrong edge-case handling.
+   - Error handling gaps; swallowed failures; unreported unrun checks.
+   - Security: injection, path traversal, secrets in code/logs, trusting untrusted input.
+   - Concurrency: shared mutable state, locks held across await, races.
+   - Encoding/Unicode: assuming `char*`/files/CLI text is UTF-8; wrong `A` vs `W` Win32 APIs; boundary conversions.
+   - Resource leaks; violations of the project's stated conventions.
+4. Classify severity honestly. Distinguish blockers from nits; do not pad with style preferences.
+
+## Collaboration
+- Independent of `worker` by design — your verdict is the gate before commit. Fix nothing yourself; report so the caller can dispatch a worker.
+
+## Output format
+## Files Reviewed
+- `path/to/file.ts`
+## Critical (must fix)
+- `file.ts:42` — concrete issue and why it breaks.
+## Warnings (should fix)
+- `file.ts:10` — issue and suggested direction.
+## Suggestions (consider)
+- Optional improvements.
+## Verdict
+One of: APPROVE / APPROVE_WITH_NITS / REQUEST_CHANGES, plus a 2-3 sentence rationale.
+
+## Quality standards
+Specific file paths and line numbers. No vague feedback. A clean report means you looked hard, not that you found nothing to say.
