 # @maestria/pi
 
-A [Pi coding agent](https://pi.software/) extension that brings Maestria's structured agent orchestration to Pi.
+A [Pi coding agent](https://pi.software/) extension that brings Maestria's structured agent orchestration - specialist delegation, workflow modes, and maker/checker review - to Pi.
 
-## Features
-
-- **4 Methodology Skills** - Orchestrator dispatcher, global agent rules, handoff contract, and iteration limits - automatically injected into every session via Pi's standard skill system (`SKILL.md` files registered in `pi.skills`)
-- **3 Workflow Modes** - `fein` (full pipeline), `sonar` (research only), `blitz` (fast implementation)
-- **Skill-Based Prompt Injection** - Behavioral instructions injected via Pi's native skill mechanism, not custom event hooks. Skills are auto-discovered from the package manifest and loaded into the system prompt by Pi's resource loader - the standard pattern used by all major Pi extensions.
-- **Compaction Preservation** - Session state survives compaction with structured summaries
-- **Subagent Dispatch** - Delegation via `@gotgenes/pi-subagents` with 7-field handoff validation
-- **Maker/Checker Split** - Review mode blocks destructive tools. Dangerous bash patterns flagged.
+> This package is part of the Maestria project. See [VISION.md](https://github.com/agustinusnathaniel/maestria/blob/main/VISION.md) for the project vision, motivation, and scope.
 
 ## Installation
 
-### Recommended: via maestria CLI
-
 ```bash
+# Recommended: via the maestria CLI (installs the peer dependency too)
 pnpx maestria@latest install pi
-```
-
-The CLI automatically installs both `@gotgenes/pi-subagents` (required peer dependency for subagent dispatch) and `@maestria/pi` in the correct order.
 
-### Alternative: manual Pi CLI
-
-```bash
-# Install required peer dependency first
+# Manual: install the required peer dependency first, then the extension
 pi install npm:@gotgenes/pi-subagents
-
-# Install the extension
 pi install npm:@maestria/pi
 ```
 
-### Uninstall
+Uninstall via `pnpx maestria@latest uninstall pi`. The `@gotgenes/pi-subagents` peer dependency is shared with other Pi extensions; only remove it separately if nothing else needs it.
 
-```bash
-# Via maestria CLI (removes @maestria/pi)
-pnpx maestria@latest uninstall pi
-```
+## What It Provides
 
-Note: `@gotgenes/pi-subagents` is a shared dependency that other Pi extensions may use. Only remove it if no other extensions need it:
+- **4 methodology skills** - orchestrator dispatcher, global agent rules, handoff contract, and iteration limits, injected into every session.
+- **3 workflow modes** - `/fein` (full pipeline), `/sonar` (research only), `/blitz` (fast implementation).
+- **Compaction preservation** - session state survives compaction with structured summaries.
+- **Subagent dispatch** - delegation to specialist subagents via the `@gotgenes/pi-subagents` peer package.
+- **Maker/checker split** - `/review` mode blocks destructive tools where Pi supports it.
 
-```bash
-pi uninstall @gotgenes/pi-subagents
-```
+## Support / Platform Notes
 
-## Commands
+- Subagent dispatch depends on the `@gotgenes/pi-subagents` peer package; the maestria CLI installs it for you.
+- The methodology is advisory prompt guidance; the maker/checker split is enforced at the tool level only where Pi supports review-mode tool blocking.
+- Pi-specific: `@maestria/omp` is a separate package for Oh My Pi.
 
-| Command | Description |
-| --- | --- |
-| `/fein <goal>` | Set workflow mode to full pipeline (recon → design → impl → review) |
-| `/sonar <goal>` | Set workflow mode to research only (recon → design → stop) |
-| `/blitz <goal>` | Set workflow mode to fast implementation (builder directly) |
-| `/review <target>` | Enter review mode - blocks destructive tools, sets read-only toolset |
-| `/restore-model` | Restore the original model and tools active before review mode |
-| `/handoff <goal>` | Generate a structured handoff prompt for a new task context |
-| `/review-model <model-id>` | Set which model to use when entering review mode |
-| `/maestria-status` | Show current maestria session state including handoff history |

+## Session Continuation and Delivery
+
+- **!!! The orchestrator owns continuation for implementation and delivery work.** An incomplete todo, pending handoff, unresolved acceptance item, or specialist message saying “continue if needed” is not a user checkpoint. Take or delegate the next bounded action; do not end the turn or ask the user to say “continue.” Research-only, planning-only, explicitly read-only, and host-blocked work terminates at its requested artifact or exact blocker.
+- A specialist's read-only or no-edit result ends that delegation, not the parent work unit. If the result is empty, malformed, or incomplete, make one changed-brief recovery attempt when useful, then report the exact blocked delta instead of silently abandoning the outcome.
+- Freeze the outcome, acceptance criteria, non-goals, and review budget at the start of the work unit. New findings are not permission to restart the project: repair only findings that are in scope and affect acceptance; record adjacent findings as follow-ups unless they create an applicable safety or authorization stop.
+- Do not reset a review or repair budget by splitting the same outcome into more delegations, changing specialist names, or relabelling the finding. A new scope requires a new outcome and acceptance criteria.
+- For implementation work, continue through validation and the project's normal delivery artifact. When the repository, branch, remote, ownership, and host capabilities support PR delivery, create a reviewable PR without ceremonial approval; do not stop at a local diff, commit, or pushed branch. Research-only, planning-only, explicitly read-only, and host-blocked work terminates at its requested artifact or exact blocker. Stop at a defined safety, authorization, ambiguity, or host-capability boundary and name the exact pending action.

 ## Bounded Repair and Fail-Loud Behavior
 
 - Ordinary in-scope repair may continue without routine user approval while it is making observable progress and remains within scope.

+- Review is a convergence gate, not an invitation to polish indefinitely. Repair only concrete blockers tied to security boundaries, acceptance, correctness/regression, or material in-scope design/maintainability; record minor, speculative, low-confidence, and diminishing-return findings as follow-ups.
+- Default to one independent review and, only when blockers exist, one repair/re-review pass. Allow another pass only when a named blocker remains unresolved or the repair introduces a new material regression; count passes across all delegations and never reset the budget.
 - Repeated causes, repeated findings, restored diffs, or no new evidence are non-progress. Change strategy, route root-cause uncertainty to `/diagnose`, design uncertainty to `/architect`, then stop if progress still fails.
 - Do not loop silently. Report: `Tried X, Y, Z. Blocked by [cause]. Need [input] to proceed.` Preserve the last diff and finding provenance.
 
 ## Authorization, Lifecycle, and Branches
 
-- Stop and obtain applicable authorization before security-boundary changes, authentication or permissions work, data migration or possible loss, production-impacting changes, or irreversible operations. Ordinary ambiguity is not an authorization checkpoint.
-- For normal repository work, branch, commit, push, and PR are part of delivery after acceptance evidence and required review. If on a default/protected branch or detached, create or use a feature branch before editing when the base, remote, and ownership are clear; preserve unrelated changes and ask only when the target is genuinely ambiguous.
+- Stop and obtain applicable authorization before changes that alter security/authentication/permission boundaries, data migration or possible loss, production-impacting changes, or irreversible operations. Ordinary in-scope repair and ambiguity are not authorization checkpoints.
+- **!!! Routine delivery is autonomous.** For normal repository implementation work, create or use a non-protected feature branch and continue through commit, push, and PR without asking whether to perform those steps when the base, remote, ownership, and host capabilities are clear; these are delivery mechanics, not approval checkpoints.
+- If on a default/protected branch or detached, create or use a feature branch before editing when the base, remote, and ownership are clear; preserve unrelated changes and ask only when the target is genuinely ambiguous. Never commit or push protected branches.
 - Inspect status and the intended diff, stage only intended files, and use logical conventional commits. Merge, release, production operations, and other high-impact external actions remain separate authorization boundaries. If the host cannot perform routine delivery, report the exact pending action instead of asking for ceremonial permission.
 - Track task-owned long-lived processes. Prefer foreground execution; when backgrounding is necessary, retain identity and a scoped stop method, then stop and verify them before completion unless they are intentionally part of the requested result. Use platform lifecycle controls for platform-owned work and never broadly kill unrelated or user-owned processes.
-- Never commit or push protected branches. An explicitly authorized checkpoint may preserve unreviewed work but never authorizes shipping.
