-# Pi Subagents: Management Authoring Rpc
-
-This file is a detailed reference loaded from `skills/pi-subagents/SKILL.md`.
-
-## Management Mode
-
-The `subagent(...)` tool also supports management actions.
-
-### List available agents and legacy chain records
-
-```typescript
-subagent({ action: "list" })
-```
-
-### List retained children
-
-```typescript
-subagent({ action: "children.list" })
-```
-
-Lists up to the last 10 retained workflow children from this parent session with explicit `resumable` or `not resumable` rows. Resume only rows reported `resumable`. Send a simple follow-up or implementation challenge with `subagent({ action: "resume", id: "<run-id>", message: "..." })`. Continue one inside a workflow with `runs.run(key, { resume: "<run-id>", task: "follow-up" })`; each workflow key identifies one result lane, so use a new stable workflow key for every distinct retained resume pass. Same-key calls are reused only when launch parameters are identical, and incompatible parameters are rejected. The revived child keeps its stored agent, model, and tool contract. If no resumable child is listed, start a same-role fallback challenge and label it as fallback. `steer` with `mode: "follow_up"` only queues text for the next `resume` when the child has already completed.
-
-### Refinement overlays
-
-```typescript
-subagent({ action: "refine", agent: "reviewer" })
-subagent({ action: "refine.show", agent: "reviewer" })
-subagent({ action: "refine.rollback", agent: "reviewer" })
-```
-
-`refine` builds a bounded project-local guidance overlay for one agent from recent run evidence, using a fresh read-only proposal child; validated guidance is stored under `.pi-subagents/refinements/<agent>.md` with revision snapshots and is injected into that agent's child system prompt for this project. `refine.show` prints the current overlay and history; `refine.rollback` restores the previous revision. Guidance that tries to override safety, policy, tool, output, acceptance, developer, or system instructions is rejected. `/subagents-refine <agent>` is the slash equivalent.
-
-### Create an agent
-
-```typescript
-subagent({
-  action: "create",
-  config: {
-    name: "my-agent",
-    package: "code-analysis",
-    description: "Project-specific implementation helper",
-    systemPrompt: "Your system prompt here.",
-    systemPromptMode: "replace",
-    model: "provider/model-id",
-    tools: "read,grep,find,ls,bash"
-  }
-})
-```
-
-### Update an agent
-
-```typescript
-subagent({
-  action: "update",
-  agent: "code-analysis.my-agent",
-  config: {
-    thinking: "high"
-  }
-})
-```
-
-### Delete an agent
-
-```typescript
-subagent({ action: "delete", agent: "code-analysis.my-agent" })
-```
-
-### Eject, disable, enable, and reset
-
-```typescript
-// Copy a bundled builtin/package agent to user scope as an editable custom file.
-subagent({ action: "eject", agent: "reviewer" })
-subagent({ action: "eject", agent: "reviewer", agentScope: "project" })
-
-// Hide an agent from runtime discovery without deleting it (reversible).
-subagent({ action: "disable", agent: "reviewer" })
-subagent({ action: "enable", agent: "reviewer", agentScope: "project" })
-
-// Delete the scope's custom agent file and/or settings override, restoring the bundled default.
-subagent({ action: "reset", agent: "reviewer" })
-```
-
-`eject` copies a builtin or package agent verbatim into the user (default) or project agent dir so it can be customized without hunting package files; the copy shadows the original by runtime name. `disable` writes a reversible `agentOverrides.<name>.disabled: true` entry to the user or project settings file. `enable` removes that `disabled` field while keeping any other override fields. `reset` removes the scope's custom file and settings override to restore the bundled default, and refuses if no bundled default exists (use `delete` for purely custom agents). All four take optional `agentScope: "user" | "project"`; project overrides win over user ones, so target the project scope to undo a project-scope disable.
-
-Use management actions when the system needs to create or edit subagents on
-demand without dropping into raw file editing.
-
-Management actions create or update user/project agent files. `config.name` is the local frontmatter name; optional `config.package` registers and looks up the runtime name as `{package}.{name}`. Use the dotted runtime name for `get`, `update`, `delete`, slash commands, and scripted workflow steps. For small builtin changes such as a model swap, prefer `subagents.agentOverrides` in settings. Durable `.chain.md` definitions are legacy records, not a current authoring target; use `workflowScript` or `/prompt-workflow` for repeatable orchestration.
-
-## Creating and Editing Agents by File
-
-A minimal agent file looks like this:
-
-```markdown
----
-name: my-agent
-package: code-analysis
-description: What this agent does
-aliases: developer, coder
-model: provider/model-id
-thinking: high
-tools: read, grep, find, ls, bash
-systemPromptMode: replace
-inheritProjectContext: true
-inheritGlobalContext: false
-inheritSkills: false
-skills: safe-bash, review-checklist
-skillPath: ./skills, ../shared-skills
----
-
-Your system prompt here.
-```
-
-That is only a starting point. Omit `package` for the traditional unqualified runtime name. Common optional fields include:
-- `defaultProgress`
-- `defaultReads`
-- `output`
-- `aliases`
-- `fallbackModels`
-- `subagentOnlyExtensions`
-- `skills`
-- `skillPath`
-- `memory`
-- `maxSubagentDepth`
-- `acceptance`
-- `acceptanceRole`
-- `async` — single-agent default for background launch (`true`/`false`); explicit tool-call `async` wins
-- `timeoutMs` — single-agent default run-level max runtime in ms; foreground calls use a 30-minute package default only when neither the call nor agent provides one (tool alias `maxRuntimeMs` is also accepted)
-
-`aliases` is an optional comma-separated or block-list set of alternate names for selecting an agent. Aliases resolve to the canonical `name` for execution, status, persistence, and config. Exact canonical names take precedence over aliases, and alias collisions between distinct canonical agents fail as ambiguous. Management create/update accepts a comma-separated string, string array, or `false`/empty string to clear aliases.
-
-`acceptance` is a single-agent launch default. Use a scalar level such as `checked` or an inline/block YAML map such as `{ level: "none", reason: "lightweight lookup" }`. An explicit tool-call value wins; scripted workflow child acceptance remains configured on the `runs.run` or `runs.all` item. Management create/update accepts the same policy object, and `acceptance: ""` clears the frontmatter default (`false` remains the deprecated disabled-policy shorthand).
-
-`acceptanceRole` is `read-only` or `writer` and controls automatic acceptance inference only. Explicit task mutation or no-edit intent wins; otherwise the role replaces agent-name guessing. Omission preserves the current name heuristics. The field does not grant or revoke tools. Management accepts `false` or an empty string to clear it.
-
-`tools` is a strict child allowlist, not an extension loader. For a named extension tool, keep its registered name in `tools` and load its provider through normal Pi discovery, `extensions`, a path-like `tools` entry, or `subagentOnlyExtensions`. For example, pair `tools: read, fixture_search` with `subagentOnlyExtensions: ./tools/fixture-search.ts` when the provider should exist only in that agent's child sessions. The child now fails with the unavailable names and provider-loading guidance instead of silently continuing when a requested tool is absent; internal `structured_output` is allowed automatically when an output schema requires it.
-
-`skillPath` adds invocation-private skill files or discovery directories relative to the agent file; it does not select them, so list the desired names under `skills`. Local matches win, unresolved or unreadable matches use normal discovery, and local candidates never enter the parent/global catalog. Use `memory: { scope: "project" | "user", path: "<name>" }` for opt-in role-specific durable memory under the dedicated `agent-memory/` namespace; it is separate from parent/session project memory.
-
-For many customizations, builtin overrides in settings are lower-friction than
-copying a full builtin file.
-
-## Prompt Template Integration
-
-The package includes prompt shortcuts for common workflows: `/parallel-review`,
-`/review-loop`, `/parallel-research`, `/gather-context-and-clarify`, and
-`/parallel-cleanup`. Use them when the user wants repeatable review,
-review/fix loops, research, context handoff, implementation handoff,
-clarification, or cleanup-review patterns. `/parallel-review autofix` and
-`/parallel-cleanup autofix` synthesize reviewer feedback and then apply only the
-fixes worth doing now. Parent agents can also apply the same recipes directly
-with `subagent(...)` when the user describes the workflow in natural language
-instead of invoking a slash command.
-
-Additional user prompt templates can delegate into `pi-subagents` through the native `/prompt-workflow` command. This is useful when a slash command should always run through a particular agent or with forked context. Prompt frontmatter can set `subagent`, `model`, `skill`, `cwd`, `fresh`, `fork`, or `inheritContext` for the native adapter.
-
-## Extension RPC
-
-Other Pi extensions can call `pi-subagents` through the in-process event bus. The RPC channels are `subagents:rpc:v1:ready`, `subagents:rpc:v1:request`, and per-request replies at `subagents:rpc:v1:reply:<requestId>`. Envelopes use `{ version: 1, requestId, method, params }`, and replies use `{ version: 1, requestId, success, data | error }`. `ping` advertises the exact process-local async completion event as `events.asyncComplete` for RPC-spawn consumers.
-
-Methods: `ping`, `status`, `spawn`, `steer`, `interrupt`, `resume`, and `stop`. `ping` capability metadata advertises optional projections: `capabilities.fleetStatus: { version: 1 }` adds bounded current-session `data.fleet` records (opaque reconciliation `key`, resolved `agent`, optional `role`, `model`, `effort`, caller-facing `goal`, `startedAt`, split `{ input, output, total }` tokens, plus `totalActive`/`omitted` overflow counts) to successful `status` replies; `capabilities.launchResolvedExtensions` advertises parent-resolved opaque launch-extension identifiers in status details; `capabilities.runtimeAcknowledgedExtensions` advertises the best-effort child-runtime acknowledgement projection fed by cooperating extensions emitting `subagent:acknowledge-extension`. Foreground `details.results[]` rows carry a stable numeric `index`; correlate children by `(runId, index)` rather than row position. Consumers should read status/result artifacts and RPC projections instead of scraping terminal output and must ignore unknown fields. `spawn` requires `workflowScript`, is async-only, and rejects management actions, `async: false`, or `clarify: true`; it reuses the normal executor, so discovery, validation, session attribution, configured spawn caps, child-safety depth, artifacts, and async status are shared with the `subagent` tool. `status`, acknowledged async `steer`, and `interrupt` map to the normal control actions. RPC steer disables pause-and-revive recovery and advertises `capabilities.nonRecoveringSteer`, preserving the caller's authority over the exact spawned child. `resume` requires a target plus non-empty message and delegates to the package-owned revival path; it may set a caller-owned `file-only` output path but cannot override the persisted child model, tools, budgets, session ownership, or exclusive session lease. For retained-child workflows, list children first and resume only rows reported `resumable`; otherwise start a same-role fallback challenge and label it as fallback. `stop` targets running async runs through the existing timeout control channel. `pi.events` is process-local, so separate Pi processes and child subagents need lifecycle artifact files or `pi-intercom` instead.

-# Multi-Lane Orchestration
-
-Use this reference when several independent tasks need coordinated workers, worktrees, or repositories. It defines lane ownership; use the other pi-subagents references for run controls, prompts, and mission details. The parent remains the final decision-maker.
-
-Create lanes only when delegation materially improves evidence, independent review, or isolated execution. Do not manufacture parallelism: keep dependent work serial, and only split work when each lane has a distinct decision and useful output.
-
-## Lane board and authority
-
-Before multiple mutation-capable lanes start, record this board in the parent context:
-
-`Lane | repo/cwd | exact decision | claimed files or contract | isolation path | authority | next gate | handoff | why independent`
-
-Record the isolation path before the first mutation. Do not split one source seam or decision into duplicate lanes. Make overlapping work one lane with one source of truth.
-
-For every lane, record the delivery target, allowed actions, required validation, and review rigor. For cross-repository work, name the shared contract and which repository changes first. A blocked decision is a lane state: record the owner, options, recommended default, and evidence needed to continue.
-
-## Partitioned runs
-
-Use one writer per repo/cwd or worktree. Mutation lanes need distinct isolation paths and explicit `cwd` values. Set `worktree: true` when a run needs managed worktree isolation within one repository. Read-only runs can share a checkout only when they cannot change state or create generated files.
-
-For Pi extension repositories, keep lane worktrees outside auto-discovered extension directories such as `~/.selesai/agent/extensions`. A stale extension worktree there can auto-load duplicate tools and shortcuts. Remove or move it only after its handoff is durable, the worktree is clean, and no run owns it.
-
-Partition fanout by repository, source seam, decision, or review angle. Each run needs a stable key, lane-specific task, and a managed output path when a file is needed. Do not launch prompts that differ only by item name or broad file glob.
-
-### Cold-start packets and bounded orchestration audits
-
-Every child packet must stand alone: include the goal, exact repository/cwd/ref, authority and edit boundary, relevant context/evidence, success criteria, validation, expected output, and stop/escalation rules. Do not rely on parent history, an issue number, or a broad glob alone. An orchestration audit by a top-reasoning critic model is read-only and returns at most three cited omissions; use high thinking only as an explicit parent/user escalation, never as an autonomous root or a parallel placeholder.
-
-Use one async `workflowScript` for a coordinated wave. Use `runs.all` for independent lanes and `runs.run` for dependent lane stages. Give cross-repository runs explicit `cwd` values and lane-qualified outputs. Use `outputMode: "file-only"` when a report must survive the run or feed a later stage. Keep scratch outputs relative so they live under subagent artifacts; use absolute paths only for durable memory, approved docs paths, or final handoff files.
-
-## Keep independent work moving
-
-While one lane waits, run safe independent preparation, validation, or fresh read-only review lanes. Do not block the parent just because a run is active. If no safe lane remains, record the blocker and the event that will reopen work.
-
-In an ordinary interactive session, completion wakes the parent; after useful
-async lanes are launched or triaged, yield rather than use
-`bg_wait({ all: true })` as a barrier. “Continue/orchestrate/work until
-done” means keep the board moving while safe immediate work remains. If only
-async lanes are running, record the revisit trigger and yield.
-
-An ordinary coordinated workflow has one mission. Use its durable state, artifacts, run records, and receipts for recovery. Treat a receipt as evidence, not as authority or acceptance.
-
-After a writer produces a candidate, run the required fresh-context, read-only reviewer. The reviewer inspects the exact worktree and returns evidence-backed findings. The parent decides which findings are in scope and whether the lane is ready. Use `review-and-validation.md` for finding disposition, validation, and gate-failure triage. Send accepted fixes to that lane's sole writer, then rerun only the affected gate.
-
-## Handoff, cleanup, and recovery
-
-Use stable lane-qualified artifact paths for reports and review output. A handoff states the lane status, repository and worktree, changed files, validation, open decisions, next action, and artifact or receipt paths. Copy only the final evidence to memory, a mission record, or a PR/comment, then remove scratch files from the active worktree before closing the lane.
-
-Keep a worktree until its handoff is durable, no run owns it, and no later gate needs it. Clean up only inside the recorded authority boundary. If a run stops or needs attention, preserve its worktree and artifacts, record the last known state and recovery owner, then resume that run or create one replacement lane from the handoff. Do not start another writer while worktree ownership is uncertain.
-
-Before completion, inspect the board. Every lane must be terminal or blocked with a named next action. Confirm one writer per repo/cwd or worktree, required validation, required fresh read-only review, and a durable handoff. The parent reports outcomes, evidence, residual risks, and the next decision.

-## Capability ceilings
-
-Parent extensions may register a session-scoped, out-of-band ceiling through `pi-subagents/capability-ceiling`. Child tools and eligible canonical agent names are intersected with every active registration and inherited snapshot; `denyExtensions` removes ambient/provider extension loading while retaining package protocol runtime. `{ action: "list" }` marks non-allowlisted agents as restricted, and launch rejects them before spawn. Do not add a model-visible ceiling field or rely on unrestricted role selection for enforcement. Restricted schedules are rejected until their ceiling can be persisted safely.
-
-## When to Use
-
-- **Complex work orchestration**: keep the parent on its ordinary strong default model. Delegate only when another child materially improves evidence, independent review, or isolated execution; omission failures are cheaper than unnecessary commissions. For hard orchestration or root-cause questions, use a top-reasoning model only as a bounded read-only critic/oracle escalation, never as an autonomous root. Complex means the task has multiple moving parts, unclear acceptance, cross-cutting code, meaningful user-visible impact, expensive or irreversible validation, broad review surface, or the user asks for orchestration. Lightweight one-off delegation can stay lightweight.
-- **Advisory review**: use fresh-context `reviewer` agents for adversarial code review; fork to `oracle` only for rare escalation where inherited decisions, drift, model routing, root cause, or hard tradeoffs matter
-- **Implementation handoff**: have `oracle` advise, then `worker` implement only after an approved direction
-- **Recon and planning**: use `scout`, then write a plan when needed
-- **Parallel exploration**: run multiple non-conflicting tasks concurrently
-- **Regular skill specialists**: when discovery shows proactive skill subagent suggestions and the current work is broad enough, launch a small fresh-context fanout that asks one subagent per relevant regularly used skill to apply that skill's perspective to the task
-- **Long-running work**: launch async/background runs and inspect them later. For mutation-capable work, bound the delivery slice and elapsed runtime, then request checkpoints after active tool work returns. Reserve hard tool-call caps for explicitly read-only children.
-- **Subagent control**: watch needs-attention signals and soft-interrupt only when a delegated run is genuinely blocked
-- **Agent authoring**: create, update, or override project agents. Treat saved chain records as legacy inspection or migration inputs, not as a current authoring target.
-
-## Tool vs Slash Commands
-
-Agents use the `subagent(...)` tool for execution, management, status, and control. Direct `{ agent, task }` execution is enough for one bounded child task; use `workflowScript` when the parent needs JavaScript control flow or data-dependent branching, keyed, parallel, sequential, retry, retained-resume, aggregate, or explicit staged-lane behavior (`runs.lanes`). Humans often use the slash-command layer instead:
-
-- `/run` — launch a single agent
-- `workflowScript` — the sole public surface for sequence, parallelism, branching, retries, and aggregation
-- `/subagents` — interactive admin for inspecting agents and editing model, thinking, or system prompt
-- `/subagents-stop [run-id]` — stop a current-session top-level async run; opens a selector when no id is given
-- `/subagents-detach [run-id]` — detach an active foreground single-subagent run without terminating its child
-- `/subagents-steer <run-id> [--child <child-id>] <message>` — steer a live async run (or one child of it) from non-TUI sessions and RPC hosts
-- `/subagent-cost` — show parent plus child token usage and cost for the session
-- `/subagents-fleet` — open the live fleet inspector with per-child controls; `Ctrl+Alt+F` opens it during an active foreground turn, `↑↓`/`jk` selects children, `PgUp`/`PgDn` scrolls transcript detail, `s` steers the selected live async child, and `D` stops its top-level async run after confirmation
-- `/subagents-watchdog` — inspect or configure the opt-in adversarial change watchdog (model, on/off, recommend-model, check)
-- `/subagents-doctor` — diagnose setup, discovery, async paths, and intercom bridge state
-- `/subagents-models [agent]` — show the live runtime-loaded builtin model mapping
-- `/subagents-profiles`, `/subagents-load-profile`, `/subagents-refresh-provider-models`, `/subagents-generate-profiles`, `/subagents-check-profile` — manage model profiles and provider catalogs
-- `/prompt-workflow` — run a prompt template through native workflowScript execution
-
-Prefer the tool when you are writing agent logic. Prefer the slash commands when
-you are guiding a human through an interactive flow.
-
-Packaged prompt shortcuts are also available for repeatable workflows. Treat them as reusable orchestration recipes, not just human slash commands. When the user asks for one of these shapes, or when the workflow clearly fits, apply the same pattern directly with `subagent(...)` and other tools:
-- `/parallel-review` — fresh-context reviewers with distinct review angles, then synthesis
-- `/review-loop` — parent-orchestrated worker, fresh-reviewer, and fix-worker cycles until clean or capped
-- `/parallel-research` — combine `researcher` and `scout` for external evidence plus local code context
-- `/gather-context-and-clarify` — scout/research first, then ask the user clarifying questions with `interview`
-- `/parallel-cleanup` — two fresh-context reviewers (deslop + verbosity passes) for an adversarial cleanup review of the current diff
-- `/council` — bounded advisor council for material decisions, plan critique, cross-exam, and parent-written decision memos
-
-## Applying Prompt Techniques Without Slash Commands
-
-The prompt templates in `prompts/` encode workflows the parent agent can run on demand. If the user provides a URL, issue, PR, plan, local file, screenshot, or freeform target, treat that target as the primary scope: read or fetch it before launching children, then include it explicitly in every child task. For targets outside the parent cwd, include the exact repository, explicit `cwd`, authority boundary, and expected output path in each child task. Do not depend on the parent conversation history when the recipe calls for fresh context.
-
-### Commission-risk and cold-start packets
-
-Delegate only when the child materially improves evidence, independent review, or isolated execution; do not manufacture parallelism. Every child packet must be cold-start complete: state the goal, exact target/cwd/ref, authority and edit boundary, relevant context/evidence, success criteria, validation, output, and stop/escalation rules. For an orchestration audit by the critic tier, make the child read-only and request at most three omissions, each cited to a file, line, or decision; high thinking is an explicit escalation, not a default.
-
-### Council Mode technique
-
-Use Council Mode when the user asks to convene advisors, debate a material decision, cross-examine recommendations, or critique and improve a plan with several model perspectives. This includes requests such as “run a council on this architecture,” “have the configured advisors critique this plan,” or “get multiple oracles to debate the tradeoffs.” Read `../council-mode/SKILL.md` and follow its bounded parent-supervised protocol instead of launching ad hoc parallel oracle calls.
-
-Council advisors are read-only. User or project `council-*` profiles choose allowed models and define any persistent stance in the profile body. A top-reasoning advisor remains bounded and read-only; it does not become the root. Package advisors such as Surf's `gpt-pro` can join the roster only when the `surf-cli` Pi extension is installed and its `surf-oracle` provider is registered; treat them as external runners, omit child `async` for attached results, and do not pass `outputSchema` to them. The council question and scope provide the decision frame; do not invent per-advisor role labels. The parent collects independent reports, optionally sends curated cross-exam packets, and writes the final memo. Do not treat the council as agent-to-agent chat, implementation authority, or a writer swarm.
-
-### Parallel review technique
-
-Use this when the user wants adversarial review of a diff, plan, issue, file, or implemented work. Launch fresh-context `reviewer` agents with distinct angles generated from the actual target. Common angles are correctness/regressions, tests/validation, and simplicity/maintainability; adapt for TypeScript, UI, security, docs, or large structural changes. Reviewers should inspect files and diffs directly, return concise evidence-backed findings with file/line references, and avoid edits unless the user explicitly asks for a writer pass. Filter on evidence, not severity: report only concrete current issues caused or made reachable by the target diff, with source proof, a test or repro, or a contract contradiction. Label findings P0/P1/P2 and end with `Merge verdict: BLOCK`, `Merge verdict: OK`, or `Merge verdict: OK with notes`. Use `blockers only` only for final pre-merge re-checks after P1/P2 findings are already captured, or for explicit emergency hotfix lanes where non-blocking findings are intentionally deferred. For targeted follow-up, ask only whether the named finding was resolved, whether the fix introduced a new defect in the fix blast radius, and whether prior P1/P2 notes still stand. For bot or PR-comment triage, classify each comment as VALID, STALE, INVALID, or OUT-OF-POLICY against current HEAD, then assign P0/P1/P2 only to VALID comments. The parent synthesizes fixes worth doing now, optional improvements, and feedback to ignore/defer before applying anything.
-
-### Proactive skill-specialist technique
-
-Use this when `{ action: "list" }` reports proactive skill subagent suggestions and the user's task would benefit from perspectives the parent regularly uses. These suggestions are conservative: a skill is recommended only when it is available and referenced repeatedly by configured agents or saved chains. Treat the list as an opt-in hint for the current task, not a command to always fan out.
-
-Default guardrails:
-- Keep the fanout small: usually one or two skill-specialist children, never more than the listed recommendations or configured cap.
-- Prefer `context: "fresh"` and include only the files, diff, plan, URL, or request details each child needs. Use forked context only when private/session history is essential and appropriate to share.
-- Use read-only agents for analysis/review unless implementation was explicitly requested; do not create several writers in the same worktree.
-- Skip proactive skill subagents for tiny questions, direct commands, highly private requests, or when the user asks not to delegate.
-- Make cost and concurrency visible by using an ordinary `subagent(...)` call rather than hidden/background automation.
-
-Example shape:
-
-```typescript
-subagent({
-  workflowScript: `
-    const results = await runs.all([
-      { key: "deslop", agent: "reviewer", task: "Apply the available 'deslop' skill to review the current diff for concrete cleanup findings only. Do not modify files.", skill: "deslop" },
-      { key: "accessibility", agent: "reviewer", task: "Apply the available 'accessibility' skill to review the UI changes for concrete issues only. Do not modify files.", skill: "accessibility" }
-    ]);
-    return results.map(result => result.output);
-  `,
-  context: "fresh"
-})
-```
-
-### Review-loop technique
-
-Use this when the user wants implementation or current diff review to continue until reviewers stop finding fixes worth doing now. Keep the loop in the parent session: one async `worker` implements or fixes, fresh-context `reviewer` agents inspect the actual repo and diff, the parent synthesizes accepted fixes, and one async forked `worker` applies them. The parent can express the sequence up front as an async/background `workflowScript` when the workflow is known, or continue with explicit follow-up workflowScript runs after each async completion. For an initial workflow, pass `async: true` so the main chat is unblocked. Treat an async implementation worker handoff as an intermediate state, not final completion, unless the user explicitly asked for worker-only work, review-only output, or to stop after implementation. Stop when reviewers find no P0 blockers or P1 fixes worth doing now, remaining P2 feedback is optional or deferred, an unapproved product/scope/architecture decision appears, or the max review-round cap is reached. Default to 3 review rounds unless the user sets a different cap. Do not loop for optional polish, and do not let children launch subagents or decide the loop outcome.
-
-As a conservative orchestration policy, do not pass a hard `toolBudget` to an implementation worker, fix worker, reviewer with edit authority, or other mutation-capable child. The default tool budget blocks read/search tools rather than mutation tools, but count limits still do not measure delivery safety. Use a narrow task plus an outer elapsed deadline with enough margin, then request a checkpoint after the current tool returns. The checkpoint should report changed files, build/test state, remaining work, and commit or PR state. An elapsed timeout is not a mutation-safe boundary and must not be used as the checkpoint trigger.
-
-### Parallel research technique
-
-Use this when the question needs both external evidence and local implications. Combine `researcher` for official docs, specs, ecosystem behavior, recent changes, benchmarks, and primary sources with `scout` for repository files, patterns, constraints, tests, and likely integration points. Give each child a distinct angle: external evidence, local code context, and practical tradeoffs. Ask for source links or file ranges, confidence level, gaps, and decision implications. Do not ask these children to edit unless implementation was explicitly requested.
-
-
-
-### Gather-context-and-clarify technique
-
-Use this at the start of non-trivial work. Launch `scout` for local context and `researcher` only when external docs, recent sources, ecosystem context, or primary evidence would materially improve understanding. Ask children for concise findings plus remaining clarification questions. Then synthesize what is known and use `interview` to ask the unresolved questions needed for shared understanding before planning or implementing.
-
-### Parallel cleanup technique
-
-Use this after implementation when the user wants cleanup review or when a final pass would reduce AI-slop. Launch two fresh-context `reviewer` tasks with `output: false` and `progress: false`: one deslop pass and one verbosity pass. If the `deslop` or `verbosity-cleaner` skills are available, pass the relevant skill to that reviewer; otherwise inline the criteria. Both reviewers are review-only and should flag concrete issues with severity, file/line references, and smallest safe fixes. Phrase the constraint as “Do not modify project/source files; returning findings through the configured output artifact is allowed” when you use `output` or `outputMode: "file-only"`. The parent decides what to apply and asks before making changes unless cleanup was already authorized.
-
-### Staged fix orchestration technique
-
-Use this when a broad diff has known reviewer findings across several items and the user wants the parent to “orchestrate subagents like a boss.” Keep the active worktree safe with a three-stage `workflowScript`:
-
-When staged seams are available, a low-tier writer should not receive the
-end-to-end issue. Use `runs.lanes` inside `workflowScript` to keep stages narrow:
-a scout/red test, helper-only change, one render seam, validation, minimality
-challenge, or fresh review. Give the writer only its assigned implementation
-stage; keep sequencing and synthesis with the parent.
-
-1. A parallel read-only planning fanout, one reviewer per issue cluster. Each child inspects the real diff and returns exact files, line refs, proposed fixes, and focused validation. They must not edit.
-2. One writer worker. It receives the reviewer summaries as the awaited planning results (or their durable output paths) interpolated into its task, plus the parent’s accepted scope, stop rules, and verification contract. It is the only child allowed to edit the active worktree.
-3. A parallel read-only validation fanout. Validators inspect the worker diff from fresh context with distinct angles, report pass/fail, remaining blockers, and missing verification.
-
-Prefer `async: true`, `context: "fresh"` for reviewers/validators, `outputMode: "file-only"` for large summaries, and per-stage output names that will not collide. Use stable `runs` keys plus `phase` and `label` on each launch item to make async status readable, and hold each awaited result in an ordinary JavaScript variable when a later step needs that specific result — interpolate it (or the durable output path you declared for that child) into the later task text instead of passing a whole aggregate blob. Use this pattern instead of launching several writer workers into a dirty worktree. Include non-blocking suggestions in the writer prompt only when they are small, safe, and do not expand product scope; otherwise record them as deferred.
-
-When one child returns a structured target list, use ordinary JavaScript to validate/filter it and map bounded entries into `runs.all`; do not use the removed chain fanout DSL.
-
-Example shape:
-
-```typescript
-subagent({
-  async: true,
-  context: "fresh",
-  workflowScript: `
-    // Stage 1: parallel read-only planning fanout (stable keys, one per issue cluster)
-    const plans = await runs.all([
-      { key: "deploy-plan", agent: "reviewer", phase: "Planning", label: "Deploy docs", task: "Plan fixes for deploy docs/workflow. Inspect the current diff. Do not modify project/source files; returning findings via the configured output artifact is allowed.", output: "plans/deploy.md", outputMode: "file-only" },
-      { key: "scheduler-plan", agent: "reviewer", phase: "Planning", label: "Scheduler contract", task: "Plan fixes for scheduler contract. Inspect the current diff. Do not modify project/source files; returning findings via the configured output artifact is allowed.", output: "plans/scheduler.md", outputMode: "file-only" },
-      { key: "sandbox-plan", agent: "reviewer", phase: "Planning", label: "Sandbox/security", task: "Plan fixes for sandbox/security. Inspect the current diff. Do not modify project/source files; returning findings via the configured output artifact is allowed.", output: "plans/sandbox.md", outputMode: "file-only" }
-    ]);
-
-    // Stage 2: single writer — the only child allowed to edit the active worktree.
-    // Under outputMode "file-only" the awaited .output is the saved-output
-    // reference, so pass those managed artifact references to the writer.
-    const worker = await runs.run("apply-fixes", {
-      agent: "worker",
-      phase: "Implementation",
-      label: "Apply accepted fixes",
-      task: "Apply only the accepted fixes from these planning summaries. You are the sole writer for the active worktree. Run focused validation and report changed files, commands, failures, and remaining issues.\\n\\nDeploy plan: " + plans[0].output + "\\n\\nScheduler plan: " + plans[1].output + "\\n\\nSandbox plan: " + plans[2].output,
-      output: "worker/fixes.md",
-      outputMode: "file-only"
-    });
-
-    // Stage 3: parallel read-only validation fanout
-    const validations = await runs.all([
-      { key: "validate-deploy-scheduler", agent: "reviewer", phase: "Validation", label: "Deploy/scheduler validation", task: "Validate the post-worker diff for deploy and scheduler fixes. Start from the worker result: " + worker.output + ".

-    ]);
-
-    return { worker: worker.output, validations: validations.map(v => v.output) };
-  `

-
-## Builtin Agents
-
-Builtin agents load at the lowest priority. Project agents override user agents,
-and user/project agents override builtins with the same name.
-
-| Agent | Purpose | Recommended tier | Typical output / role |
-|-------|---------|-------|------------------------|
-| `scout` | Fast codebase recon | fast worker/scout tier | Writes `context.md` handoff material |
-| `worker` | Implementation and approved oracle handoffs | capable worker tier | Single-writer implementation with decision escalation |
-| `reviewer` | Review specialist | strong reviewer tier; high thinking for serious reviews | Default recipes are review-only; tools include edit/write when a fix pass is explicit |
-| `researcher` | Web research brief generator | inherits configured default | Writes `research.md` |
-| `delegate` | Lightweight generic delegate | inherits configured default | No fixed output; generic delegated work |
-| `oracle` | Rare hard-decision/root-cause escalation | top-reasoning critic tier, bounded read-only; high thinking escalation only | Advisory trajectory review, not routine code review |
-| `advisor` | Compatibility alias for `oracle` | top-reasoning critic tier, bounded read-only; high thinking escalation only | Same advisory escalation role as `oracle` |
-
-Builtin `worker` and `delegate` use strict tool allowlists and do not inherit ambient parent extension tools. To give a child an extension tool, name it in `tools` and load its provider via `extensions`, a path-like `tools` entry, or `subagentOnlyExtensions`. Custom agents without an `extensions` field follow `subagents.defaultExtensions` when set.
-
-Builtin agents inherit the current Pi default model unless a run, user setting, project setting, or `subagents.defaultModel` overrides `model`. The table records recommended tier routing, not shipped hard defaults; explicit run, user, or project settings still win. Keep the parent/orchestrator on the ordinary strong default model unless parent/user policy says otherwise. Override builtin defaults before copying full agent files when a small tweak is enough.
-
-Set `subagents.defaultThinking` to apply a shared thinking level to builtin, package, user, and project agents whose frontmatter leaves `thinking` unset. Project settings win over user settings; explicit frontmatter (including `thinking: false`), `agentOverrides.<name>.thinking`, and per-run overrides remain more specific. This setting affects child agents only and does not change the parent session's default thinking level.
-
-```json
-{
-  "subagents": {
-    "defaultThinking": "medium"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-For one run, use inline config:
-
-```text
-/run reviewer[model=provider/review-model] "Review this diff"
-```
-
-For persistent tweaks, edit `subagents.agentOverrides` in user or project settings. User overrides apply everywhere. Project overrides apply only in that repo and win over user overrides. Use `/subagents-models` or `subagent({ action: "models" })` to inspect the live mapping after settings and overrides load.
-
-Provider-scoped entries can layer on top of the default override for the active parent session provider. The provider is selected once from the parent model before child model fallback starts, so fallback attempts cannot switch configuration. Within each settings file, the provider entry wins per field; project settings still win over user settings.
-
-```json
-{
-  "subagents": {
-    "agentOverrides": {
-      "worker": { "thinking": "medium" }
-    },
-    "agentOverridesByProvider": {
-      "provider-a": {
-        "worker": { "model": "provider-a/fast-worker-model" }
-      },
-      "provider-b": {
-        "worker": { "model": "provider-b/fast-worker-model" }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Model ids do not have to be exact. Separator variations (`fast.worker-v1` vs `fast-worker-v1`), case (`Strong-Review-Model`), and optional trailing date stamps all resolve to the same registry model. Exact `provider/id` wins; a qualified `provider/model` never switches providers. To constrain subagents to a budget or compliance profile, set `subagents.modelScope: { enforce: true, allow: ["approved-provider/*", "second-provider/approved-*"] }` in user or project settings. Out-of-scope models you pass explicitly error and abort; models inherited from frontmatter, `subagents.defaultModel`, agent frontmatter, or the parent session only warn.
-
-For model fleets, use the profile commands instead of hand-editing repeated overrides: `/subagents-refresh-provider-models <provider>`, `/subagents-generate-profiles <provider>`, `/subagents-load-profile <name>`, and `/subagents-check-profile <name>`. Profiles live under `~/.selesai/agent/profiles/pi-subagents/` and replace only `settings.subagents` when loaded.
-
-## Prompting role subagents
-
-Builtin role agents inherit the current Pi default model unless you override them. When launching them, write the task prompt as a compact contract, not a long procedural script. Define the destination and let the role choose the efficient path.
-
-A strong subagent prompt usually includes:
-- **Goal**: the concrete outcome the child should produce.
-- **Target**: repository, explicit `cwd`, branch/ref/head, and source seam when the target is not the parent cwd.
-- **Authority boundary**: whether the child may read, edit, commit, push, comment, close, merge, publish, or release. Omit or forbid actions that are not approved.
-- **Context/evidence**: relevant plan paths, files, diffs, decisions, or user constraints already approved.
-- **Success criteria**: what must be true before the child can finish.
-- **Hard constraints**: true invariants only, such as no edits for review-only tasks, one writer thread, child must not run subagents unless it is explicitly authorized through `tools: subagent` or `allowNestedSubagents: true`, or escalation for unapproved decisions.
-- **Validation**: targeted checks to run, or the next-best check when validation is impossible.
-- **Output**: the expected summary shape, artifact path, or finding format. Use managed artifact paths for scratch reports; reserve repo-qualified absolute paths for durable handoffs that the user approved.
-- **Stop rules**: when to ask via `intercom` or `contact_supervisor`, when to stop after enough evidence, and when not to keep searching.
-
-Give each role useful discovery anchors. Name source roots, filenames, symbols, types, methods, and paths for scouts. Give workers context files, plans, task paths, and named source seams before asking them to search. Give reviewers changed files, contracts, and any exhaustive-verification target. Tell oracle whether current source behavior, product/policy documents, plans, or inherited decisions are the evidence that matters.
-
-Avoid carrying over old prompt habits that over-specify every step. Use `must`, `always`, and `never` for real invariants; for judgment calls, give decision rules. For example, tell a reviewer to inspect the staged diff directly and report only evidence-backed findings, rather than prescribing every file or command. Tell a researcher the retrieval budget: start with broad targeted searches, fetch only the strongest sources, search again only when a required fact is missing, then stop.
-
-For implementation handoffs, name the approved scope and success criteria more clearly than the process. Good prompts say what to change, what not to change, where the evidence lives, how to validate, and when to escalate. They should not ask the child to create another subagent plan or continue the parent conversation.
-
-Settings locations:
-- User scope: `~/.selesai/agent/settings.json`
-- Project scope: `.pi/settings.json`
-
-Direct settings example:
-
-```json
-{
-  "subagents": {
-    "agentOverrides": {
-      "reviewer": {
-        "model": "provider/strong-review-model",
-        "thinking": "high",
-        "fallbackModels": ["backup-provider/strong-review-model"],
-        "acceptanceRole": "read-only"
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Useful override fields: `description`, `model`, `fallbackModels`, `thinking`,
-`systemPromptMode`, `inheritProjectContext`, `inheritGlobalContext`, `inheritSkills`, `defaultContext`,
-`acceptanceRole`, `disabled`, `skills`, `tools`, `extensions`, and `systemPrompt`.
-`description` replaces the discovered description for builtin and custom agents
-in `list` output, which is useful for deployment-specific routing notes.
-Use `acceptanceRole: false` to clear an override. Create a user or project
-agent with the same name only when you want a substantially different agent.
-
-### Recommended model tiering (optional)
-
-Keep the parent/orchestrator on the ordinary strong default model because omission failures are cheaper than unnecessary commissions. Route workers and scouts to a fast, capable worker tier, and keep serious reviews on the strong reviewer tier at high thinking. Do not use `oracle` or a top-reasoning model as the routine fresh-review default. Use that tier only for bounded, read-only critic/oracle/root-cause audits after ordinary review, CI, bot, or source evidence is insufficient; critic-tier high thinking is escalation-only and never an autonomous root. Explicit parent/user model policy wins over these recommendations.
-
-Examples are illustrative, not requirements. Map these tiers to concrete models in user/project settings or a profile. A non-OpenAI setup should choose comparable available models by capability.
-
-Use `fallbackModels` when a tier has provider quota or availability risk. Prefer fresh context for cross-provider children when inherited provider-specific reasoning blocks would force thinking off.
-
-If a provider rejects model IDs with thinking suffixes, use
-`subagents.disableThinking: true` in user or project settings to clear bundled
-builtin thinking defaults globally. A higher-precedence per-agent `thinking`
-override can opt one builtin back in. Existing custom-agent frontmatter remains authoritative.
-
-Set `subagents.defaultExtensions` to give agents without an `extensions` field a shared child extension allowlist. Omit it to preserve ambient extension discovery, set it to `[]` to disable ambient extensions by default, or use `agentOverrides.<name>.extensions` for one agent. Explicit custom-agent frontmatter still wins.
-
-Tool description modes live in `~/.selesai/agent/extensions/subagent/config.json`, not `subagents` settings. The default uses split prompt metadata: a short tool description plus active `promptSnippet` and `promptGuidelines`. Set `toolDescriptionMode` to `full` or `compact` to force one description string, or `custom` to read `subagent-tool-description.md` from the project config dir or agent dir; invalid custom files fall back to full mode and the safety guidance is still appended.

-# Pi Subagents: Review And Validation
-
-Generic review and delivery guidance for delegated work. This file does not encode private backlog, merge, or release policy.
-
-## Delivery loop
-
-Use the smallest loop that proves the change:
-
-1. Inspect the source, diff, issue, or plan directly.
-2. Keep one writer for each cwd or worktree.
-3. Run focused validation that can fail for the changed behavior.
-4. Use fresh-context read-only review for substantial, risky, public, or hard-to-see changes.
-5. Apply only accepted findings inside the same writer boundary.
-6. Re-run affected validation and review only the changed blast radius.
-7. Inspect the final diff and evidence before parent acceptance.
-
-Skip review ceremony for trivial wording, renames, or local-only probes when direct parent inspection is enough.
-
-## Review shape
-
-| Situation | Shape |
-| --- | --- |
-| One coherent diff or one risk | one reviewer |
-| Independent risks, such as correctness, tests, security, or UI | parallel reviewers with distinct contracts |
-| Possible over-scope or needless complexity | same-writer challenge before fresh review |
-| Material design tradeoff | council mode |
-
-Reviewers are fresh-context by default. Use the ordinary `reviewer` role for routine code review. Forked oracle/advisor runs are escalation-only for parent-history, drift, root-cause, model-routing, or hard tradeoff evidence.
-
-## Finding disposition
-
-The parent classifies each finding against current HEAD:
-
-- **Valid blocker:** concrete failure, repro, security issue, contract mismatch, or source-proven regression. Fix now.
-- **Valid non-blocker:** real but outside the delivery slice. Record or defer.
-- **Stale:** fixed or absent at the reviewed head. Cite current evidence.
-- **Invalid:** contradicted by source, tests, docs, or user-approved scope. Cite the contradiction.
-- **Out of policy/scope:** needs unapproved product, architecture, authority, release, or public-repo action. Escalate.
-- **Speculative:** no contract, repro, or reachable failure. Do not block.
-
-A clean reviewer result is evidence, not publication authority.
-
-## Gate-failure triage
-
-When validation fails:
-
-1. Confirm the run belongs to the exact head/ref under judgment.
-2. Read the focused failing logs first.
-3. Name the failing test, assertion, contract, or thread.
-4. Classify cause: current diff, stale test, environment/setup, or existing flake.
-5. Reproduce locally when practical with the narrowest command.
-6. Patch forward when the current diff caused it.
-7. For stale/flaky failures, collect proof before one rerun or residual-risk note.
-8. Re-run the affected command or exact-head gate after every fix.
-
-For bot comments, classify each thread as valid, stale, invalid, or out of policy before assigning severity.
-
-## Final checklist
-
-Before reporting delegated work as done, verify the relevant subset:
-
-- final diff contains only intended files
-- focused validation covers changed behavior
-- substantial or risky changes have fresh-review evidence
-- accepted findings are fixed and revalidated
-- publication authority exists before push, comment, close, merge, deploy, or release
-- external checks are exact-head when used as evidence
-- handoff is durable before cleanup
-- residual risks, skipped validation, and blocked decisions are explicit
-
-## Public/private boundary
-
-For issue/PR backlogs, releases, merge queues, contributor credit, or repo-specific policy, load the matching user/project skill when available. Keep those rules out of this public package until intentionally released.
