- `Native candidate` - Skills-first delivery plus a verified executable extension subset. Prime Agent evidence (Agent Skills standard, discovery paths, frontmatter requirements, extension API, execution boundary) was re-verified on 2026-08-13 at the immutable upstream commit [`7787f07415d843b9a800f6a4720e0c739bd608e5`](https://github.com/PrimeIntellect-ai/prime-agent/tree/7787f07415d843b9a800f6a4720e0c739bd608e5). The generated skills match the documented contract, the compiled extension is verified against the pinned fork's public extension API (source inspection) and exercised by tests, but runtime behavior in a live Prime session is **not yet tested end to end**. Native recursive-subagent (`rlm`) dispatch and JSON/RPC headless-mode integration remain **deferred** (see below). Do not treat this package as a production support promise.

49
-
50
- Modes are loaded on demand by description matching, or invoked explicitly as `/skill:fein`, `/skill:sonar`, `/skill:blitz` (when skill commands are enabled). The extension commands below activate the same modes for the session.
51
-
52
- ### Executable extension (verified subset)
53
-
54
- The package ships a compiled Prime/Pi extension (`dist/extension.mjs`, declared under `pi.extensions` in `package.json`) that covers a small, verified subset of the public Prime/Pi extension API (pinned fork `7787f074...`, `packages/coding-agent/src/core/extensions/types.ts`):
13
+ ```bash
14
+ # Preferred: registers the published package with Prime (skills + extension)
15
+ prime-agent package install npm:@maestria/prime-agent
16
+ ```
55
17
 
56
- | Command | Behavior |
57
- | --- | --- |
58
- | `/fein`, `/sonar`, `/blitz` | Set the session workflow mode, persist it as a session custom entry, and forward an optional goal argument to the agent (`/fein implement the pipeline`) |
59
- | `/mode-clear` | Clear the active mode and return to neutral routing |
60
- | `/maestria-status` | Show the current mode and the verified/deferred subset |
18
+ For skills-only installs, point Prime at the package's `skills/` directory in settings, or copy/symlink the skill directories into a project or global skill location. See [INSTALL.md](https://github.com/agustinusnathaniel/maestria/blob/main/packages/prime-agent/INSTALL.md) for all installation and consumption options.
61

62
- In addition, while a mode is active the extension appends the mode's prompt (loaded from the generated `skills/<mode>/SKILL.md`, so the injected text is exactly the sync-projected mode skill) to the system prompt on every agent turn via the `before_agent_start` event. Mode state is session-scoped (host session custom entries via `pi.appendEntry`), restored on session start/reload/resume/fork and on session-tree navigation, and persists across compaction by design (custom entries are session entries).
20
+ ## What It Provides
63
21
 
64
- ## Platform notes and limitations
22
+ - **7 specialist skills** - adventurer, architect, builder, diagnose, planner, reviewer, writer.
23
+ - **Orchestration and rules skills** - `orchestrator`, `global-rules`, `handoff`, `iteration-limits`.
24
+ - **Workflow mode skills** - `fein`, `sonar`, `blitz`, loaded on demand by description matching or invoked explicitly as `/skill:fein` etc.
25
+ - **Executable extension** (`dist/extension.mjs`) - `/fein`, `/sonar`, `/blitz`, `/mode-clear`, and `/maestria-status` commands with session-scoped mode state and mode prompt injection via `before_agent_start`, using only the public extension API of the pinned Prime fork.
65
26
 
66
- - **Verified subset only, not native `rlm` dispatch:** the extension covers mode commands and mode prompt injection. There is **no** recursive-subagent dispatch: the pinned fork's `rlm(...)` call is an IPython-side tool with **no public JS extension bridge**, so this package does not and cannot spawn child agents from the extension. "Delegate to a specialist" means load the relevant skill and apply its methodology, not spawn a child agent. JSON/RPC headless-mode integration is likewise deferred (ADR-CORE-014). The `/maestria-status` command states this explicitly.
67
- - **Advisory, not enforced:** skills, rules, role prompts, and the extension are advisory guidance, not security enforcement. The extension performs **no tool interception** (it does not claim any control over Prime's Python/command execution path). Prime Agent has no skill-level tool-denial mechanism (the Agent Skills `allowed-tools` field is experimental and only pre-approves tools), so the read-only roles (`adventurer`, `planner`, `reviewer`) state their role intent without claiming a runtime boundary.
68
- - **Not a sandbox:** Prime Agent executes model-generated Python and project commands with your user permissions; worker and kernel processes are lifecycle isolation, not security sandboxing. Restrict use to trusted repositories, skills, and instructions. Review skill and extension content before use.
69
- - **No filesystem writes:** the extension writes nothing (no `~/.pi`, no `.prime/agent` writes); mode state rides on host session entries. Mode content is read from the package's own generated `skills/` directory.
70
- - **No runtime dependency on pi packages:** the Prime-compatible fork of `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` (`0.7.2`) is not published to npm (the registry carries only the original Pi line), and Prime bundles the pi API into its runtime. The extension consumes the API exclusively through the runtime-provided `pi` object with type-only local declarations (`src/pi-api.ts`, mirroring the pinned fork); the built `dist/extension.mjs` has zero imports of any pi package. Declaring a runtime/peer dependency on an unpublished or mismatched version would be a false claim, so none is declared.
71
- - **Agent Skills frontmatter:** Prime requires `name` and `description`; unknown frontmatter fields are ignored; skills with a missing description are not loaded; validation is otherwise lenient (warnings). The package ships only the required fields.
27
+ ## Support / Platform Notes
72
28
 
73
- ## Design
29
+ - **Verified subset only:** the extension covers mode commands and mode prompt injection. There is no recursive-subagent dispatch - the pinned fork's `rlm(...)` call has no public JS extension bridge - so "delegate to a specialist" means load the relevant skill and apply its methodology. JSON/RPC headless-mode integration is deferred (ADR-CORE-014).
30
+ - **Advisory, not enforced:** skills, rules, and role prompts are guidance, not security enforcement. Prime has no skill-level tool-denial mechanism, so read-only roles state their role intent without claiming a runtime boundary; the extension performs no tool interception.
31
+ - **Not a sandbox:** Prime executes model-generated Python and project commands with your user permissions. Restrict use to trusted repositories, skills, and instructions.
32
+ - **No filesystem writes:** mode state rides on host session entries; nothing is written to `~/.pi` or `.prime/agent`.
33
+ - **No runtime dependency on pi packages:** the extension consumes the Prime-bundled pi API through the runtime-provided `pi` object; no pi package dependency is declared.
34
+ - The skills are generated from the canonical core directives; the extension is hand-authored. Edit `packages/core/agent-directives/` and re-run the sync pipeline to change skill content - never edit generated files.
74
35
 
75
- The skills are generated by the core sync pipeline (ADR-CORE-005). Platform-specific derivation - skill names, descriptions, and Prime-specific notes - lives in `sync.config.ts`. The canonical content stays in `packages/core/agent-directives/`; never edit generated output directly. The extension (`src/`) is hand-authored: it is a Prime-local thin extension modeled on `@maestria/pi`'s mode behavior but self-contained (it does not import `@maestria/pi` or `@maestria/shared-pi`), uses only the public extension API, and loads its mode content from the generated skills so there is a single source of truth for mode text.
36
+ ## Documentation and Changelog
76
37
 
77
- Every skill is emitted as `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` (directories containing `SKILL.md`) because that is the layout Prime discovers in **all** documented skill locations - project/global `.prime/agent/skills/`, `.agents/skills/`, package `skills/` directories or `pi.skills` entries, and settings `skills` arrays. (Root `.md` files are only discovered in the prime-specific paths and are ignored under `.agents/skills/`, so the directory layout is the safest projection.)
