# Pi Agent Rust
## Use This Skill When
- You are working inside `pi_agent_rust` and need the fastest path to safe, verified edits.
- You are touching provider/tool/session/extension behavior and need targeted triage.
- You are changing installer/uninstaller/skill install behavior and need deterministic safety checks.
- You need symptom-first debugging playbooks instead of ad-hoc command hunting.
## 60-Second Bootstrap
```bash
export CARGO_TARGET_DIR="/data/tmp/pi_agent_rust/${USER:-agent}"
export TMPDIR="/data/tmp/pi_agent_rust/${USER:-agent}/tmp"
mkdir -p "$TMPDIR"
rch exec -- cargo check --all-targets
rch exec -- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --check
bash tests/installer_regression.sh
```
## Symptom Router
| Symptom | First 3 Commands |
|---|---|
| Provider stream/tool-call regression | `cargo test --test provider_streaming -- --nocapture` ; `rg -n "stream|tool|delta|event|SSE" src/providers src/sse.rs` ; `cargo test conformance` |
| Session replay/index drift | `cargo test session -- --nocapture` ; `rg -n "Session|save|open|index|jsonl|sqlite" src/session.rs src/session_index.rs` ; `cargo test conformance` |
| Extension policy/runtime failure | `cargo test extension -- --nocapture` ; `rg -n "policy|hostcall|capability|quickjs|deny|allow" src/extensions.rs src/extensions_js.rs` ; `cargo test conformance` |
| Installer/uninstaller/skill issue | `bash tests/installer_regression.sh` ; `rg -n "AGENT_SKILL_STATUS|CHECKSUM_STATUS|SIGSTORE_STATUS|COMPLETIONS_STATUS" install.sh` ; `rg -n "managed skill|expected skill directory|PIAR_AGENT_SKILL" uninstall.sh` |
| Interactive vs RPC divergence | `cargo test --test e2e_rpc -- --nocapture` ; `rg -n "interactive|rpc|stdin|event|session" src/main.rs src/interactive.rs src/rpc.rs` ; `cargo test conformance` |
For deeper diagnosis, use `references/DEBUGGING-PLAYBOOKS.md`.
## Non-Negotiables
- Read `AGENTS.md` first, then follow it exactly.
- Do not delete files or run destructive git/filesystem commands.
- Keep edits in-place; avoid creating variant files for the same purpose.
- Use `main` semantics in docs/scripts; do not introduce `master`.
- Prefer `rg` for fast text recon and `ast-grep` for structural matching/refactors.
- Prefer `rch exec -- <cargo ...>` for heavy compile/test workloads.
- After substantive edits, run compile/lint/format gates and the smallest relevant regression slice.
## Core Workflow
- [ ] Recon: identify exact change surface and invariants.
- [ ] Implement: minimal, behavior-focused patch with explicit failure semantics.
- [ ] Validate: targeted tests first, broaden only as needed.
- [ ] Verify UX: error/status output is explicit, stable, and non-ambiguous.
- [ ] Sync docs: update `README.md` when flags/behavior/user guidance changed.
## Changed Files -> Required Tests
| Changed Files (examples) | Minimum Required Tests |
|---|---|
| `install.sh`, `uninstall.sh`, `.claude/skills/pi-agent-rust/**` | `bash -n install.sh uninstall.sh tests/installer_regression.sh` ; `shellcheck -x install.sh uninstall.sh tests/installer_regression.sh` ; `bash tests/installer_regression.sh` ; `bash scripts/skill-smoke.sh` |
| `src/providers/**`, `src/provider.rs`, `src/sse.rs` | `cargo test --test provider_streaming` ; `cargo test --test e2e_provider_streaming` ; `cargo test conformance` |
| `src/session.rs`, `src/session_index.rs`, `src/session_test.rs` | `cargo test session` ; `cargo test conformance` |
| `src/extensions.rs`, `src/extensions_js.rs` | `cargo test extension` ; `cargo test conformance` |
| `src/tools.rs` | `cargo test tools` ; `cargo test conformance` |
| `src/interactive.rs`, `src/rpc.rs`, `src/main.rs` | `cargo test --test e2e_rpc` ; `cargo test conformance` |
## Do Not Run Yet
Run these only after targeted repro + focused slice indicates need:
- Broad `cargo test` across entire workspace when a narrower slice already reproduces.
- Heavy multi-surface runs before confirming changed-file impact.
- Repeated full conformance loops while the core failing slice is still unstable.
## High-Value Commands
```bash
# Fast recon
git status --short
rg -n "install|uninstall|skill|checksum|sigstore|completion|provider|session|extension" \
install.sh uninstall.sh README.md tests/installer_regression.sh src/
# Installer + skill safety gates
bash -n install.sh uninstall.sh tests/installer_regression.sh
shellcheck -x install.sh uninstall.sh tests/installer_regression.sh
bash tests/installer_regression.sh
bash scripts/skill-smoke.sh
# Rust gates
rch exec -- cargo check --all-targets
rch exec -- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --check
```

## Critical Files
- `src/main.rs`: CLI entry and mode dispatch.
- `src/agent.rs`: agent loop and tool iteration behavior.
- `src/provider.rs`: provider trait contract.
- `src/providers/`: provider implementations and factory wiring.
- `src/tools.rs`: built-in tools (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`).
- `src/session.rs`: JSONL session persistence.
- `src/session_index.rs`: session index and metadata cache.
- `src/extensions.rs` + `src/extensions_js.rs`: extension policy and QuickJS bridge.
- `src/interactive.rs` + `src/rpc.rs`: TUI and RPC/stdin surfaces.
- `install.sh` + `uninstall.sh`: install lifecycle, migration, and skill management.
- `tests/installer_regression.sh`: installer regression harness.
- `scripts/skill-smoke.sh`: skill integrity + inline-sync validation.
## Known Footguns
- Custom artifact install paths without compatible release context can fall back incorrectly if not explicitly guarded.

Questions
What does the Pi Agent Rust skill do?
High-performance AI coding agent CLI written in Rust with zero unsafe code
Is Pi Agent Rust safe to install?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.
What can Pi Agent Rust access on my machine?
The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (46a2537504c9), read on 2026-10-10. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
