+# Specialists ↔ xtrm-tools Parity Analysis
+
+**Date**: 2026-03-22 (updated 2026-03-22 post deep analysis)
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Decisions
+
+Three binding decisions from cross-repo analysis:
+
+### 1. Repo structure → SEPARATE, xtrm required for hooks
+- Keep as separate npm packages: `xtrm-tools` and `@jaggerxtrm/specialists`
+- **xtrm-tools is required** for the hook system (beads gates, claim-sync, compact, memory-gate)
+- specialists handles ONLY agent running — Supervisor, Runner, MCP server, job CLI
+- No monorepo — independent release cycles, independent CLIs, different audiences
+- `specialists/hooks/` contains ONLY: `specialists-complete.mjs` + `specialists-session-start.mjs`
+- All beads hooks are xtrm's responsibility — specialists does not bundle or ship them
+
+### 2. Orchestrator pattern → CORRECT, keep it
+- Claude (orchestrator) claims issue via `bd update <id> --claim`
+- Claude spawns Pi specialist subprocess to do the work
+- Claude closes the issue on completion and manages the full lifecycle
+- Bead tracks the WORK UNIT, not the executor — Claude is responsible end-to-end
+- Specialists don't need their own claim — they're tools in Claude's plan
+
+### 3. Pi subprocess isolation → `--no-extensions` + selective `-e` re-inclusion
+**Implemented in unitAI-faf.2.** Zero changes to xtrm required.
+
+The conflict: xtrm's beads Pi extension auto-loads in specialist Pi subprocesses and blocks
+file edits if no `claimed:<sessionId>` KV entry exists. The specialist's Pi session has no
+claim — Claude's session does. This causes silent edit blocking.
+
+Resolution: spawn Pi with `--no-extensions` (disables ALL auto-discovery), then selectively
+re-enable: `quality-gates` (if installed + not READ_ONLY) and `service-skills` (if installed).
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Specialists and xtrm-tools are **complementary systems**, not competing ones:
+
+- **xtrm-tools** = infrastructure (hooks, policies, worktrees, installation)
+- **specialists** = agent runner (run AI specialists with job management)
+
+Final classification of the 30 issues: **11 STALE / 17 KEEP / 2 MODIFY**
+(was 14/13/3 in the original analysis — see changes section below)

+
+## 1. Current Specialists Maturity Assessment
+
+### Strengths
+
+| Component | Maturity | Notes |
+|-----------|----------|-------|
+| **Specialist Runner** | ✅ Mature | Supervisor, job lifecycle, background execution, feed/result |
+| **MCP Server** | ✅ Mature | Full tool registration, bead integration |
+| **CLI Surface** | ✅ Good | 15 commands with help system |
+| **Beads Integration** | ⚠️ Partial | Creates bead, but bead_id only written at completion |
+
+### Weaknesses
+
+| Component | Issue |
+|-----------|-------|
+| **Hooks** | ❌ Duplicated, outdated vs xtrm-tools |
+| **Quality Gates** | ❌ Missing entirely |
+| **Policy System** | ❌ None — hooks are ad-hoc |
+| **Worktree Flow** | ❌ No `xt end` equivalent |
+| **Session Flow** | ❌ No claim sync, compact save/restore |
+
+### Hook Comparison
+
+| Hook | specialists | xtrm-tools |
+|------|-------------|------------|
+| beads-edit-gate | ✅ basic | ✅ full (with gate-core/utils) |
+| beads-commit-gate | ✅ basic | ✅ full |
+| beads-stop-gate | ✅ basic | ✅ full |
+| beads-memory-gate | ❌ nudge only | ✅ full gate |
+| beads-claim-sync | ❌ | ✅ auto-commit on bd close |
+| beads-compact-save | ❌ | ✅ |
+| beads-compact-restore | ❌ | ✅ |
+| quality-check (TS/JS) | ❌ | ✅ quality-check.cjs |
+| quality-check (Python) | ❌ | ✅ quality-check.py |
+| worktree-boundary | ❌ | ✅ |
+| gitnexus-hook | ❌ | ✅ |
+| xtrm-logger | ❌ | ✅ (3 loggers) |
+| specialists-complete | ✅ | ❌ (specialists-specific) |
+| specialists-session-start | ✅ | ❌ (specialists-specific) |
+

+
+## 2. xtrm-tools Capability Mapping
+
+### What xtrm-tools Has That Specialists Needs
+
+| Capability | Status | How to Consume |
+|------------|--------|----------------|
+| **Policy System** | ✅ Complete | `policies/*.json` → compile to hooks |
+| **Quality Gates** | ✅ Complete | quality-check.cjs + quality-check.py |
+| **Beads Gates (full)** | ✅ Complete | beads-gate-core.mjs + utils + messages |
+| **Claim Sync** | ✅ Complete | beads-claim-sync.mjs (auto-commit on bd close) |
+| **Compact Save/Restore** | ✅ Complete | Preserves claim state across /compact |
+| **Worktree Flow** | ✅ Complete | xt pi, xt claude, xt end |
+| **Logger System** | ✅ Complete | xtrm-logger, session-logger, tool-logger |
+
+### What xtrm-tools Lacks (Specialists Has)
+
+| Capability | Status | Action |
+|------------|--------|--------|
+| **Specialist Runner** | ❌ Missing | Keep in specialists |
+| **Job Management** | ❌ Missing | Keep in specialists |
+| **MCP Server** | ❌ Missing | Keep in specialists |
+| **specialists-complete hook** | ❌ Missing | Move to xtrm-tools? |

+## 4. Sprint Order
+
+### Phase 0: Cleanup (no new features) — Epic unitAI-faf
+| Task | Description | Status |
+|------|-------------|--------|
+| faf.1 | Board triage: close 11 stale issues, update docs | ✓ done |
+| faf.2 | Pi subprocess isolation: `--no-extensions` in session.ts | ✓ done |
+| faf.3 | Hook cleanup: delete all 6 beads hooks from specialists/hooks/ | ✓ done |
+| unitAI-4az | Bundle compact-save/restore | ❄ deferred (xtrm required, no bundling) |
+| unitAI-200 | Bundle claim-sync | ❄ deferred (xtrm required, no bundling) |
+| faf.4 | Bundle memory-gate + wiring | ❄ deferred (xtrm required, no bundling) |
+| unitAI-5nm | Install rework: xtrm prereq check + 2 specialist hooks + MCP | open |
+
+### Phase 1: Core bugs (parallel) — ✓ COMPLETE
+- **`unitAI-fgy`** ✓ Already implemented: `onBeadCreated` at supervisor.ts:208 fires right after `createBead` (runner.ts:166), before Pi session starts
+- **`unitAI-0ef`** ✓ Fixed: SIGTERM handler added to `Supervisor.run()` — captures `killFn`, routes SIGTERM → `session.kill()` → `SessionKilledError` → catch writes `status:'error'`
+
+### Phase 2: Output pinning (unblocks 4 downstream features)
+- **`unitAI-iuj`** — `bd update <bead_id> --notes '<output>'` after writing result.txt
+  - Requires unitAI-fgy (bead_id must exist at creation)
+
+### Phase 3: Workflow
+- **`unitAI-7fm`** — Register MCP at project scope (part of `specialists init`)
+- **`unitAI-55d`** — `specialists run --bead <id>`: bead IS the prompt

+
+### Key Principles
+
+1. **xtrm-tools owns infrastructure**: hooks, policies, quality gates, worktrees
+2. **specialists owns agent running**: Supervisor, Runner, job management
+3. **No duplicate hooks**: specialists uses xtrm-tools hooks via plugin system
+4. **Single init flow**: `xtrm init` → `specialists init` (for specialists/ only)
+5. **Beads as knowledge artifacts**: unitAI-fgy + unitAI-iuj enable full provenance

+
+## 7. Next Steps
+
+Phase 0 (Epic unitAI-faf) is in progress. After Phase 0 completes:
+
+1. **Phase 1 (parallel)**: unitAI-fgy (bead_id at creation) + unitAI-0ef (SIGTERM fix)
+2. **Phase 2**: unitAI-iuj (pin output to bead) — requires fgy
+3. **Phase 3**: unitAI-7fm (MCP scope) + unitAI-55d (run --bead)
+4. **Evaluate**: unitAI-mst (pi-structured-return) before implementing iuj

+# Descrizione
+Gli specialists correnti si basano su vecchi workflows e hanno bisogno di essere aggiornati. Per aggiornarli, rivedremo le loro funzioni attuali, e li migliorerò utilizzando delle skills esistenti, usando anche il nuovo skills creator per adattarle ulteriormente.
+Alcuni workflows ha senso che vengano concatenati, ad esempio, un implementazione di una feature può avere: codebase-explorer, mappa la codebase con gitnexus, esplora per bene > planner (scrive su un file, riporta all'orchestrator solo piccoli dettagli) > implementer, usa test driven development, utilizza conventions di type quality, linting, cleancode (legge i file) > code cleaner > orchestrator infine fa il controllo finale. Tutto questo lanciato direttamente da orchestrator, quindi c'è la sorta di ping-pong in cui ogni agente ritorna indietro, oppure concatenati. Possono essere lanciati workflow come overthinker facendoli comunicare tra loro, creando un file (come overthinker originale), orchestrator lo legge.
+Uno specialist dovrebbe venire triggerato anche se è orchestrator direttamente ad effettuare un lavoro, ad esempio triggerare una run di test alla fine di un implementazione.

+# Run Claude Code programmatically
+
+> Use the Agent SDK to run Claude Code programmatically from the CLI, Python, or TypeScript.
+
+The [Agent SDK](/en/agent-sdk/overview) gives you the same tools, agent loop, and context management that power Claude Code. It's available as a CLI for scripts and CI/CD, or as [Python](/en/agent-sdk/python) and [TypeScript](/en/agent-sdk/typescript) packages for full programmatic control.
+
+<Note>
+  The CLI was previously called "headless mode." The `-p` flag and all CLI options work the same way.
+</Note>
+
+To run Claude Code programmatically from the CLI, pass `-p` with your prompt and any [CLI options](/en/cli-reference):
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+claude -p "Find and fix the bug in auth.py" --allowedTools "Read,Edit,Bash"
+```
+
+This page covers using the Agent SDK via the CLI (`claude -p`). For the Python and TypeScript SDK packages with structured outputs, tool approval callbacks, and native message objects, see the [full Agent SDK documentation](/en/agent-sdk/overview).
+
+## Basic usage
+
+Add the `-p` (or `--print`) flag to any `claude` command to run it non-interactively. All [CLI options](/en/cli-reference) work with `-p`, including:
+
+* `--continue` for [continuing conversations](#continue-conversations)
+* `--allowedTools` for [auto-approving tools](#auto-approve-tools)
+* `--output-format` for [structured output](#get-structured-output)
+
+This example asks Claude a question about your codebase and prints the response:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+claude -p "What does the auth module do?"
+```
+
+### Start faster with bare mode
+
+Add `--bare` to reduce startup time by skipping auto-discovery of hooks, skills, plugins, MCP servers, auto memory, and CLAUDE.md. Without it, `claude -p` loads the same [context](/en/how-claude-code-works#the-context-window) an interactive session would, including anything configured in the working directory or `~/.claude`.
+
+Bare mode is useful for CI and scripts where you need the same result on every machine. A hook in a teammate's `~/.claude` or an MCP server in the project's `.mcp.json` won't run, because bare mode never reads them. Only flags you pass explicitly take effect.
+
+This example runs a one-off summarize task in bare mode and pre-approves the Read tool so the call completes without a permission prompt:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+claude --bare -p "Summarize this file" --allowedTools "Read"
+```
+
+In bare mode Claude has access to the Bash, file read, and file edit tools. Pass any context you need with a flag:
+
+| To load                 | Use                                                     |
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| System prompt additions | `--append-system-prompt`, `--append-system-prompt-file` |
+| Settings                | `--settings <file-or-json>`                             |
+| MCP servers             | `--mcp-config <file-or-json>`                           |
+| Custom agents           | `--agents <json>`                                       |
+| A plugin directory      | `--plugin-dir <path>`                                   |
+
+Bare mode skips OAuth and keychain reads. Anthropic authentication must come from `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or an `apiKeyHelper` in the JSON passed to `--settings`. Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry use their usual provider credentials.
+
+<Note>
+  `--bare` is the recommended mode for scripted and SDK calls, and will become the default for `-p` in a future release.
+</Note>
+
+## Examples
+
+These examples highlight common CLI patterns. For CI and other scripted calls, add [`--bare`](#start-faster-with-bare-mode) so they don't pick up whatever happens to be configured locally.
+
+### Get structured output
+
+Use `--output-format` to control how responses are returned:
+
+* `text` (default): plain text output
+* `json`: structured JSON with result, session ID, and metadata
+* `stream-json`: newline-delimited JSON for real-time streaming
+
+This example returns a project summary as JSON with session metadata, with the text result in the `result` field:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+claude -p "Summarize this project" --output-format json
+```
+
+To get output conforming to a specific schema, use `--output-format json` with `--json-schema` and a [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/) definition. The response includes metadata about the request (session ID, usage, etc.) with the structured output in the `structured_output` field.
+
+This example extracts function names and returns them as an array of strings:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+claude -p "Extract the main function names from auth.py" \
+  --output-format json \
+  --json-schema '{"type":"object","properties":{"functions":{"type":"array","items":{"type":"string"}}},"required":["functions"]}'
+```
+
+<Tip>
+  Use a tool like [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) to parse the response and extract specific fields:
+
+  ```bash  theme={null}
+  # Extract the text result
+  claude -p "Summarize this project" --output-format json | jq -r '.result'
+
+  # Extract structured output
+  claude -p "Extract function names from auth.py" \
+    --output-format json \
+    --json-schema '{"type":"object","properties":{"functions":{"type":"array","items":{"type":"string"}}},"required":["functions"]}' \
+    | jq '.structured_output'
+  ```
+</Tip>
+
+### Stream responses
+
+Use `--output-format stream-json` with `--verbose` and `--include-partial-messages` to receive tokens as they're generated. Each line is a JSON object representing an event:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+claude -p "Explain recursion" --output-format stream-json --verbose --include-partial-messages
+```
+
+The following example uses [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) to filter for text deltas and display just the streaming text. The `-r` flag outputs raw strings (no quotes) and `-j` joins without newlines so tokens stream continuously:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+claude -p "Write a poem" --output-format stream-json --verbose --include-partial-messages | \
+  jq -rj 'select(.type == "stream_event" and .event.delta.type? == "text_delta") | .event.delta.text'
+```
+
+When an API request fails with a retryable error, Claude Code emits a `system/api_retry` event before retrying. You can use this to surface retry progress or implement custom backoff logic.

+
+### Auto-approve tools
+
+Use `--allowedTools` to let Claude use certain tools without prompting. This example runs a test suite and fixes failures, allowing Claude to execute Bash commands and read/edit files without asking for permission:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+claude -p "Run the test suite and fix any failures" \
+  --allowedTools "Bash,Read,Edit"
+```
+
+To set a baseline for the whole session instead of listing individual tools, pass a [permission mode](/en/permission-modes). `dontAsk` denies anything not in your `permissions.allow` rules, which is useful for locked-down CI runs. `acceptEdits` lets Claude write files without prompting and also auto-approves common filesystem commands such as `mkdir`, `touch`, `mv`, and `cp`. Other shell commands and network requests still need an `--allowedTools` entry or a `permissions.allow` rule, otherwise the run aborts when one is attempted:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+claude -p "Apply the lint fixes" --permission-mode acceptEdits
+```
+
+### Create a commit
+
+This example reviews staged changes and creates a commit with an appropriate message:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+claude -p "Look at my staged changes and create an appropriate commit" \
+  --allowedTools "Bash(git diff *),Bash(git log *),Bash(git status *),Bash(git commit *)"
+```
+
+The `--allowedTools` flag uses [permission rule syntax](/en/settings#permission-rule-syntax). The trailing ` *` enables prefix matching, so `Bash(git diff *)` allows any command starting with `git diff`. The space before `*` is important: without it, `Bash(git diff*)` would also match `git diff-index`.
+
+<Note>
+  User-invoked [skills](/en/skills) like `/commit` and [built-in commands](/en/commands) are only available in interactive mode. In `-p` mode, describe the task you want to accomplish instead.
+</Note>
+
+### Customize the system prompt
+
+Use `--append-system-prompt` to add instructions while keeping Claude Code's default behavior. This example pipes a PR diff to Claude and instructs it to review for security vulnerabilities:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+gh pr diff "$1" | claude -p \
+  --append-system-prompt "You are a security engineer. Review for vulnerabilities." \
+  --output-format json
+```
+
+See [system prompt flags](/en/cli-reference#system-prompt-flags) for more options including `--system-prompt` to fully replace the default prompt.
+
+### Continue conversations
+
+Use `--continue` to continue the most recent conversation, or `--resume` with a session ID to continue a specific conversation. This example runs a review, then sends follow-up prompts:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+# First request
+claude -p "Review this codebase for performance issues"
+
+# Continue the most recent conversation
+claude -p "Now focus on the database queries" --continue
+claude -p "Generate a summary of all issues found" --continue
+```
+
+If you're running multiple conversations, capture the session ID to resume a specific one:
+
+```bash  theme={null}
+session_id=$(claude -p "Start a review" --output-format json | jq -r '.session_id')
+claude -p "Continue that review" --resume "$session_id"
+```
