Short (2 chars), fits existing naming:\n- `bd` (2) - beads\n- `hq` (2) - headquarters\n- `orch` (4) - multi-model\n- `worker` (6) - lifecycle\n\n## Architecture\n\n```\nORCHESTRATOR = Agent + Tools + Skills + Context\n\nTools:     bd, worker, review-gate, orch\nSkills:    hq (how to orchestrate)\nContext:   .beads/, .worker-state/, repo state\nAgent:     Claude (or any capable LLM)\n```\n\nThe orchestrator IS the conversation. User talks to agent, agent has tools to spawn/manage workers.\n\n## Triggers (all supported)\n\n1. **bd issue** - `bd ready` shows work, orchestrator picks it up\n2. **Natural language** - User says \"implement feature X\"\n3. **Scheduled/ambient** - Future: cron-like \"check for work\"\n\n## How It Works\n\n```\nUser: \"Implement dark mode for settings page\"\n    │\n    ▼\nOrchestrator (Claude with hq skill):\n    ├── Check bd for existing issue (or create one)\n    ├── Decompose if needed (single task or multiple?)\n    ├── worker spawn task-001\n    ├── Invoke worker Claude (Task tool / claude CLI)\n    ├── Monitor via worker status\n    ├── Handle review (approve/request-changes)\n    ├── worker merge on approval\n    └── Report back to user\n```\n\n## Skill Structure\n\n```\nskills/hq/\n├── SKILL.md              # Core orchestration instructions\n├── scripts/\n│   └── hq-status         # Quick view: bd + worker + review state\n└── templates/\n    └── worker-system.md  # System prompt for spawned workers\n```\n\n## Key Decisions (TBD)\n\n1. **Worker invocation**: Task tool subagent? `claude` CLI?

Create `skills/playwright-visit/` directory\n2. Add flake.nix with devShell providing playwright\n3. Create CLI script with subcommands:\n   - `screenshot <url> <output.png>` - capture page\n   - `text <url>` - extract text content  \n   - `html <url>` - get rendered HTML\n   - `pdf <url> <output.pdf>` - save as PDF\n4. Create skill definition for Claude Code integration\n5.

+name: ralph-work-loop
+description: Start or resume a Ralph Wiggum loop on an existing Work document (docs/work/*.md). Use when the user asks to "use ralph" on a Work doc or to run iterative Work-phase execution.
+---
+
+# Ralph Work Loop
+
+Use this skill to run the Ralph Wiggum loop **after** a Work document exists.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Ralph extension installed: `.pi/extensions/ralph-wiggum/index.ts`
+- Work document already created in `docs/work/`
+
+## Process
+
+1. **Validate the Work doc**:
+   - Check required sections: Intent link, Approach link, Checklist, Verification commands, Evidence section
+   - Each checklist item needs a verification command
+   - See the `work` skill for full validation checklist
+   - Fix any issues before starting the loop
+
+2. **Locate the Work doc**:
+   - If user provides a path, use it.
+   - Otherwise run:
+     ```bash
+     ./.pi/skills/ralph-work-loop/scripts/find-latest-work.sh
+     ```
+   - If multiple candidates are relevant, list them and ask the user to choose.
+
+3. **Start the loop**:
+   ```
+   /ralph start <work-doc-path>
+   ```
+   Optional flags (ask user if they care):
+   - `--items-per-iteration N`
+   - `--reflect-every N`
+   - `--max-iterations N`
+
+4. **Monitor or resume**:
+   - ` /ralph status` to show active loops
+   - ` /ralph resume <name>` to continue paused loop
+
+5. **Stop**:
+   - Press `ESC` to pause
+   - ` /ralph-stop` when idle to end the loop
+
+## Notes
+
+- The loop enforces the **Intent → Approach → Work** dialect and requires verification evidence for completed items.
+- Use `/ralph start <path>` to point directly to an existing Work doc.

+# RFC: Multi-Agent Skill Deployment
+
+**Status:** Draft
+**Date:** 2026-01-19
+**Author:** Gemini CLI Agent
+
+## Context
+
+This repository (`~/proj/skills`) is the single source of truth for AI capabilities. However, the runtime environment has fragmented into four distinct agents:
+
+1.  **Claude Code** (The original consumer)
+2.  **OpenCode** (The open-source alternative)
+3.  **OpenAI Codex** (The specialized coding agent)
+4.  **Gemini CLI** (The interactive shell agent)
+
+Currently, our deployment script only targets Claude and OpenCode.
+
+## The Goal: "Write Once, Deploy Everywhere"
+
+We want a single command (`./bin/deploy-skill.sh <skill>`) to make that skill available to ALL agents on the system immediately after a system rebuild.
+
+## Target Paths
+
+| Agent | Config File (Dotfiles) | Target Path (Runtime) |
+|-------|------------------------|-----------------------|
+| **Claude Code** | `home/claude.nix` | `~/.claude/skills/<name>` |
+| **OpenCode** | `home/opencode.nix` | `~/.config/opencode/skills/<name>` |
+| **OpenAI Codex** | `home/codex.nix` | `~/.codex/skills/<name>` |
+| **Gemini CLI** | `home/gemini.nix` | `~/.gemini/skills/<name>` |
+
+## Proposed Changes
+
+### 1. Update `bin/deploy-skill.sh`
+
+The script currently injects config into `claude.nix` and `opencode.nix`. We will expand it to also check for and inject into `codex.nix` and `gemini.nix` if they exist in the dotfiles repo.
+
+**Logic:**
+```bash
+# For each agent target:
+inject_home_file "$DOTFILES/home/codex.nix"  ".codex/skills/$SKILL" ...
+inject_home_file "$DOTFILES/home/gemini.nix" ".gemini/skills/$SKILL" ...
+```
+
+### 2. Standardize Skill Format
+
+Fortunately, all four agents share the same fundamental skill interface:
+*   **Definition:** `SKILL.md` (Markdown with Frontmatter)
+*   **Execution:** Bash scripts (via `run_shell_command` or similar)
+
+No changes are needed to the skill format itself, provided we stick to standard POSIX bash and relative paths in scripts.
+
+## Benefits
+
+*   **Unified Capability:** Fixing a bug in `git-commit` skill fixes it for Gemini, Claude, and Codex simultaneously.
+*   **Agent Agnosticism:** You can switch agents mid-task without losing access to your tools.
+*   **Testing:** You can verify a skill using Gemini (cheaper/faster) before using it with Claude (smarter/expensive).
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1.  Update `bin/deploy-skill.sh` to support the new targets.
+2.  Create placeholder `home/codex.nix` and `home/gemini.nix` in dotfiles (if missing) to test injection.
+3.  Deploy a test skill (`verify-work`) to all 4 targets.

+# Approach: Session Hygiene Extension
+
+## Strategy
+
+**Core philosophy**: Ambient awareness, not active management.
+
+The extension provides a persistent footer widget showing git state. The user glances at it when they want to. A `/commit` command offers a guided flow with auto-drafted messages when they're ready to commit. No nudges, no prompts, no interruptions.
+
+**Key Decisions**:
+
+1. **Widget vs Status**: Widget (multi-character, always visible) vs setStatus (footer slot, subtle)
+   → **Widget** — needs to be glanceable without hunting for it
+
+2. **Polling vs Events**: Poll git status periodically vs hook into tool_result events
+   → **Hook tool_result** — only re-check after bash/write/edit tools that might change files. Avoids polling overhead.
+
+3. **Grouping strategy**: No grouping vs LLM-driven grouping
+   → **LLM-driven grouping** — LLM sees changed files + session context, proposes logical groups with conventional commit messages. Always runs, even for 1-3 files.
+
+4. **Confirmation flow**: Always confirm vs LLM discretion
+   → **LLM discretion** — LLM decides when to ask questions (ambiguous grouping, orphan files) vs proceed. User already invoked `/commit`, so trust the intent.
+
+5. **Orphan files**: Auto-bucket into "misc" vs ask
+   → **Ask** — if a file doesn't fit any logical group, LLM should ask user where it belongs.
+
+6. **Staging**: Auto-stage all vs let user stage manually
+   → **Auto-stage all (`git add -A`)** — matches "just commit everything" simplicity. User can unstage manually before `/commit` if needed.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### New Components
+
+```
+~/.pi/agent/extensions/session-hygiene/
+├── index.ts          # Extension entry point
+└── git.ts            # Git helpers (status, commit, etc.)
+```
+
+### Extension Structure
+
+```typescript
+// index.ts
+export default function(pi: ExtensionAPI) {
+  // State
+  let dirtyCount = 0;
+  
+  // 1. Widget: show dirty count in footer
+  pi.on("session_start", updateWidget);
+  pi.on("tool_result", maybeUpdateWidget);  // Only after bash/write/edit
+  
+  // 2. Command: /commit
+  pi.registerCommand("commit", { handler: commitFlow });
+}
+```
+
+### Data Flow
+
+```
+[tool_result event]
+       │
+       ▼
+  is bash/write/edit?
+       │ yes
+       ▼
+  git status --porcelain
+       │
+       ▼
+  count changed files
+       │
+       ▼
+  ctx.ui.setWidget("hygiene", ["● 14 files"])
+```
+
+```
+[/commit command]
+       │
+       ▼
+  git status --porcelain → list of changed files
+       │
+       ▼
+  extract session context:
+    - recent messages (user prompts, assistant responses)
+    - file touchpoints (which files were read/written/edited when)
+       │
+       ▼
+  LLM prompt:
+    "Here are the changed files and session context.
+     Group into logical commits. For each group:
+     - list files
+     - conventional commit message
+     If a file doesn't fit, ask the user.
+     If grouping is ambiguous, ask.
+     Otherwise, proceed and execute commits."
+       │
+       ▼
+  LLM executes commits via tool calls (git add <files>, git commit -m "...")
+       │
+       ▼
+  update widget (now shows 0 or remaining)
+```
+
+### Commit Tool
+
+The `/commit` command injects context and lets the LLM drive. It needs a `git_commit` tool:
+
+```typescript
+pi.registerTool({
+  name: "git_commit",
+  description: "Stage specific files and commit with a message",
+  parameters: Type.Object({
+    files: Type.Array(Type.String(), { description: "Files to stage (relative paths)" }),
+    message: Type.String({ description: "Commit message (conventional format)" }),
+  }),
+  async execute(toolCallId, params, onUpdate, ctx, signal) {
+    // git add <files...>
+    // git commit -m <message>
+    // return success/failure
+  },
+});
+```
+
+This lets the LLM make multiple commits in sequence, asking questions in between if needed.
+
+## Risks
+
+### Known Unknowns
+
+- **Widget placement**: `setWidget` defaults to above editor. Need to verify `belowEditor` placement looks right for a small status indicator.
+- **LLM latency**: Drafting commit message adds a few seconds. Acceptable? Could show "Drafting..." in UI.
+- **Model availability**: Need a model for commit message drafting. What if user doesn't have API key for it?
+
+### Failure Modes
+
+- **Not a git repo**: `git status` returns non-zero. Extension silently does nothing (no widget, `/commit` shows error).
+- **Detached HEAD / merge conflict**: Unusual git states. `/commit` should detect and warn rather than corrupt state.
+- **Empty commit**: All changes already staged and committed. `/commit` should detect "nothing to commit" and notify.
+
+### Blast Radius
+
+- **Minimal**: Extension only reads git state and runs `git add -A` + `git commit`. No force pushes, no rebase, no destructive operations.
+- **Worst case**: User commits something they didn't want to. Recoverable via `git reset HEAD~1`.
+
+## Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Widget + git_commit Tool
+- Footer widget showing dirty file count
+- Updates after file-mutating tools
+- `git_commit` tool registered (LLM can use it anytime)
+
+### Phase 2: /commit Command
+- `/commit` command injects context and triggers LLM-driven grouping
+- LLM proposes groups, asks questions if uncertain, executes commits
+- Widget updates as commits land
+
+### Phase 3: Polish (Future)
+- Stash support (`/stash`)
+- Undo last commit (`/uncommit`)
+- Integration with worklog skill (prompt to commit after worklog)

+# Approach: Skill Organization Across Agents
+
+## Strategy
+
+**Core philosophy**: Single source, Nix-deployed, per-repo filtered.
+
+Skills live in dotfiles. Nix deploys them to each agent's expected location. Pi's settings handle per-repo filtering via `includeSkills`/`ignoredSkills`.
+
+**Key Decisions**:
+
+1. **Source location**: `~/proj/skills/skills/` vs `~/proj/dotfiles/skills/`
+   → **dotfiles** — skills are config, not code. Dotfiles is the deployment source.
+   
+2. **Deployment target**: Single location vs all agent locations
+   → **All locations** — deploy to `~/.claude/skills/`, `~/.codex/skills/`, `~/.config/opencode/skills/` for compatibility. Pi reads from `~/.claude/skills/` (disable other pi sources).
+
+3. **Per-repo filtering mechanism**: Project config vs global config per repo
+   → **Pi settings** — use `includeSkills`/`ignoredSkills` in project `.pi/settings.json`. Other agents don't support this, but pi is primary.
+
+4. **Development workflow**: Direct edit in dotfiles vs edit in skills repo + deploy script
+   → **Skills repo + deploy** — develop/test in `~/proj/skills/`, run `deploy-skill.sh`, Nix rebuild picks it up.
+
+5. **Existing scattered skills**: Migrate vs leave in place
+   → **Migrate** — consolidate everything to dotfiles, remove old locations after Nix manages them.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Directory Structure
+
+```
+~/proj/skills/skills/<name>/        # Development (universal)
+         │
+         │  deploy-skill.sh <name>
+         ▼
+~/proj/dotfiles/skills/<name>/      # Nix source (universal)
+         │
+         │  home-manager rebuild
+         ▼
+~/.claude/skills/<name>/            # Claude Code + Pi
+~/.codex/skills/<name>/             # Codex
+~/.config/opencode/skills/<name>/   # OpenCode
+
+
+~/proj/skills/skills/<name>/        # Development (pi-only)
+         │
+         │  deploy-skill.sh <name> --pi-only
+         ▼
+~/proj/dotfiles/pi/skills/<name>/   # Nix source (pi-only)
+         │
+         │  home-manager rebuild
+         ▼
+~/.pi/agent/skills/<name>/          # Pi only
+```
+
+**Two tiers**:
+- **Universal**: Deploy to all agents (`~/.claude/`, `~/.codex/`, `~/.config/opencode/`)
+- **Pi-only**: Deploy to `~/.pi/agent/skills/` only (for extension-dependent skills like ralph-work-loop)
+
+### Pi Settings
+
+Global `~/.pi/agent/settings.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "skills": {
+    "enableClaudeUser": true,    // Universal skills (~/.claude/skills/)
+    "enablePiUser": true,        // Pi-only skills (~/.pi/agent/skills/)
+    "enableCodexUser": false,    // Don't double-load (Nix manages ~/.codex/)
+    "enableClaudeProject": true,
+    "enablePiProject": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Pi reads from both `~/.claude/skills/` (universal) and `~/.pi/agent/skills/` (pi-specific).
+
+### Per-Repo Filtering
+
+Project `.pi/settings.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "skills": {
+    "ignoredSkills": ["nix-review", "ops-review"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or positive filtering:
+```json
+{
+  "skills": {
+    "includeSkills": ["worklog", "code-review", "intent", "approach", "work"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Nix Module
+
+In `home/skills.nix` (or similar):
+```nix
+{
+  home.file = {
+    ".claude/skills" = {
+      source = ./skills;
+      recursive = true;
+    };
+    ".codex/skills" = {
+      source = ./skills;
+      recursive = true;
+    };
+    ".config/opencode/skills" = {
+      source = ./skills;
+      recursive = true;
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Risks
+
+### Known Unknowns
+
+- **OpenCode skill format**: Does it use the same SKILL.md format? Need to verify.
+- **Codex recursive scanning**: Pi docs say it scans recursively — does Codex itself do this too?
+- **Project-local skills**: Should these also be standardized, or left as-is per project?
+
+### Failure Modes
+
+- **Nix rebuild required**: Skills don't update until rebuild. Could forget and wonder why changes aren't visible.
+- **Agent format drift**: If an agent changes its skill format, we'd need to adapt.
+- **includeSkills too restrictive**: Forget to add a skill to the include list, then wonder why it's not loading.
+
+### Blast Radius
+
+- **Dotfiles changes**: Modifying Nix config affects all machines using these dotfiles.
+- **Removing old locations**: If we delete `~/.pi/agent/skills/` contents, need to ensure pi settings are updated first.
+
+## Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Consolidate to Dotfiles
+- Move all global skills to `~/proj/dotfiles/skills/`
+- Update Nix to deploy to all agent locations
+- Update pi settings to read from `~/.claude/skills/` only
+
+### Phase 2: Clean Up Old Locations  
+- Remove skills from `~/.codex/skills/`, `~/.pi/agent/skills/` (Nix now manages these)
+- Verify all agents still work
+
+### Phase 3: Per-Repo Filtering
+- Add `.pi/settings.json` to repos that need filtering
+- Document the pattern for future repos

+# Intent / Approach / Work
+
+A lightweight planning framework for AI-assisted coding.
+
+## Why Structure?
+
+AI coding assistants work best with explicit phases and human checkpoints. Without structure:
+- AI hallucinates solutions before understanding the problem
+- Context drifts mid-implementation
+- Complexity gets papered over instead of surfaced
+
+This framework forces **Chain of Thought** into the workflow: separate *what* from *how* from *do*.
+
+## The Four Phases
+
+```
+Intent → [approve] → Approach → [approve] → Work → [execute] → Review → [done]
+```
+
+Human gates at every transition. Don't rubber-stamp—add a critique or constraint to prove you read it.
+
+### Intent (what)
+
+| Field | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| **Problem** | What's broken or missing? |
+| **Context** | What code/docs were read to understand this? |
+| **Edge cases** | What could go wrong? (AI is happy-path oriented) |
+| **Solution** | High-level approach, not technical |
+| **Constraints** | Requirements, limits, must-haves |
+
+### Approach (how)
+
+| Field | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| **Technical** | How we'll solve it |
+| **Interfaces** | Types/signatures before logic |
+| **Rejected alternatives** | What we considered and why not |
+| **Verification** | How we'll prove success (test command, manual check) |
+| **Side effects** | Security, performance, auth implications |
+| **Rollback** | How to undo if it fails |
+| **Non-goals** | What we will NOT touch |
+| **Files** | What we'll change |
+
+### Work (do)
+
+- **Pre-flight check**: "I have all info needed. Missing: [X]"
+- Concrete steps as checkboxes
+- First step often: write the failing test
+- Commit after 1-2 checkboxes (atomic commits)
+
+### Review (verify)
+
+- [ ] Diff matches Intent
+- [ ] Verification passed (paste raw output)
+- [ ] Scaffolding removed (debug prints, commented code)
+- [ ] Linter passes
+- [ ] Docs updated if needed
+
+---
+
+## Templates
+
+### Full Template
+
+Use when: Rule of Three triggered, security/auth/data involved, or new feature.
+
+```markdown
+## Intent
+**Problem**: What's broken or missing
+**Context**: Code/docs read (include versions/hashes for long sessions)
+**Edge cases**: What could go wrong?
+**Solution**: High-level approach (not technical)
+**Constraints**: Requirements, limits, must-haves
+
+## Approach
+**Technical**: How we'll solve it
+**Interfaces**: Types/signatures we'll create or modify
+**Rejected alternatives**: What we considered and why not
+**Verification**: How we'll prove success (prefer: specific test command)
+**Side effects**: Security, performance, auth implications
+**Rollback**: How to undo if it fails
+**Non-goals**: What we will NOT touch
+
+**Files**:
+- path/to/file.ts (change description)
+
+## Work
+**Pre-flight**: I have all info needed. Missing: [none]
+
+- [ ] Write failing test for X
+- [ ] Implement X
+- [ ] Step 3
+
+## Review
+- [ ] Diff matches Intent
+- [ ] Verification passed (paste output)
+- [ ] Scaffolding removed
+- [ ] Linter passes
+- [ ] Docs updated
+```
+
+### Medium Template
+
+Use when: 2-3 files, straightforward change, some edge cases.
+
+```markdown
+## Intent
+**Problem**: What's broken
+**Solution**: How we'll fix it
+**Edge cases**: What could go wrong?
+
+## Approach
+**Technical**: How we'll solve it
+**Verification**: How we'll prove success
+
+**Files**:
+- path/to/file.ts (change)
+
+## Work
+- [ ] Step 1
+- [ ] Step 2
+
+## Review
+- [ ] Verification passed
+- [ ] Cleanup done
+```
+
+### Minimal Template
+
+Use when: Single file, obvious fix, low risk.
+
+```markdown
+## Intent
+[One-liner: what and why]
+
+## Work
+- [ ] Step 1
+- [ ] Step 2
+```
+
+---
+
+## When to Use Structure
+
+**Rule of Three** (+ security trigger):
+- Affects >3 files
+- Introduces >1 new dependency
+- Changes existing interface/API
+- Involves security, auth, or data persistence
+
+If any true → use full structure. Otherwise, use judgment.
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Mechanics
+
+### Human Gates
+
+Don't just click approve. Add a critique, constraint, or question. If you can't find anything wrong, you didn't read it carefully enough.
+
+### Context Anchoring
+
+During Work phase, re-inject Intent + Approach summary. Don't rely on chat history alone—AI will drift by step 5.
+
+### Pivot Protocol
+
+When Work reveals Approach was wrong:
+
+1. **Stop** - don't hack around it
+2. **Diagnose** - summarize WHY it failed
+3. **Learn** - add failure as negative constraint to Intent
+4. **Revert** - return to Approach phase
+5. **Revise** - update Approach with new constraint
+
+Trigger pivot if changing >2 lines of Approach to make Work succeed.
+
+### Complexity Promotion
+
+When a Work item grows complex:
+- Promote it to its own bead with full Intent/Approach/Work
+- Original checkbox becomes reference to new bead
+- Max depth: 2 levels of nesting
+
+---
+
+## Examples
+
+### Full: Rate Limiting Feature
+
+```markdown
+## Intent
+**Problem**: API has no rate limiting, vulnerable to abuse
+**Context**: Read src/middleware/auth.ts, src/routes/api.ts
+**Edge cases**: Redis unavailable, clock skew, boundary conditions
+**Solution**: Add per-user rate limits using sliding window
+**Constraints**: <5ms latency, graceful degradation
+
+## Approach
+**Technical**: Redis sorted sets for sliding window. Middleware on /api/*.
+**Interfaces**:
+  interface RateLimitConfig { windowMs: number; maxRequests: number }
+**Rejected alternatives**: In-memory (no multi-instance), fixed window (thundering herd)
+**Verification**: npm test -- --grep "rate limit"
+**Side effects**: Adds Redis dependency, clients need 429 handling
+**Rollback**: Remove middleware, delete rateLimit.ts
+**Non-goals**: Admin bypass, per-endpoint limits
+
+**Files**:
+- src/middleware/rateLimit.ts (new)
+- src/routes/api.ts (add middleware)
+- tests/rateLimit.test.ts (new)
+
+## Work
+**Pre-flight**: Have all info. Missing: none
+
+- [ ] Write failing test for 429 response
+- [ ] Implement sliding window counter
+- [ ] Create middleware
+- [ ] Wire to routes
+- [ ] Add graceful degradation test
+
+## Review
+- [ ] 5/5 tests pass
+- [ ] No debug prints
+- [ ] README updated
+```
+
+### Medium: Timezone Bug Fix
+
+```markdown
+## Intent
+**Problem**: Dates show "Invalid Date" for Asia/Tokyo users
+**Solution**: Use UTC internally, format at display
+**Edge cases**: DST transitions, pre-1970 dates
+
+## Approach
+**Technical**: Replace new Date(str) with dayjs.utc(str)
+**Verification**: npm test -- --grep "formatDate" + manual TZ check
+
+**Files**:
+- src/utils/date.ts
+- src/components/DateDisplay.tsx
+
+## Work
+- [ ] Add failing test with Tokyo fixture
+- [ ] Fix date.ts
+- [ ] Update DateDisplay
+- [ ] Manual verify with TZ=Asia/Tokyo
+
+## Review
+- [ ] Tests pass
+- [ ] Manual check done
+```
+
+### Minimal: Typo Fix
+
+```markdown
+## Intent
+Fix "recieve" → "receive" in error message
+
+## Work
+- [ ] Update src/errors.ts:42
+- [ ] Grep for other instances
+```
+
+---
+
+## Meta-Insight
+
+> "Intent compresses the Past, Approach compresses the Future, Work is the Decompression."
+
+The critical success factor is **strictness of Human Gates**. Rigorous Approach review = magic Work phase. Rubber-stamp = hallucination engine.

+# Intent: Session Hygiene Extension
+
+## Motivation
+
+Working in pi across long sessions, it's easy to lose track of what's changed. You finish a session with dozens of uncommitted files, unclear what goes with what, and the commit history becomes a mess of grab-bag commits. The problem isn't catastrophic — nothing is lost — but it erodes organization over time.
+
+## Need
+
+Ambient awareness of git state while working, so commits happen naturally at good moments rather than as panicked cleanup at session end.
+
+## Use-Cases
+
+- **Mid-session glance**: You're deep in a refactor, glance at the footer, see "14 files" — mental note that there's a chunk of work building up. You might commit now, or keep going. Either way, you're aware.
+
+- **Natural stopping point**: You finish a logical unit of work. The footer reminds you there's uncommitted work. You run `/commit`, get a suggested message based on what we discussed, and commit cleanly.
+
+- **Session end**: You're about to close pi. Footer shows dirty state. You either commit, stash, or consciously leave it — but you're not surprised by 48 files later.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- Footer widget shows uncommitted file count for current repo at all times
+- `/commit` command triggers guided flow with auto-drafted commit message from conversation context
+- User never feels nagged, blocked, or guilty — just informed
+- Commits end up logical and well-messaged because awareness came early
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Single repo only (the one we're in)
+- Must work as a pi extension (TypeScript, pi extension API)
+- No external dependencies beyond git
+
+## Anti-Goals
+
+- **No auto-commit**: Never commit without explicit user action
+- **No blocking prompts**: Never interrupt flow with modal dialogs
+- **No guilt mechanics**: No "you should commit" nudges, red warnings, or escalating alerts
+- **No multi-repo tracking**: Don't watch repos outside current working directory
+- **No push**: This is about local commits only

+# Intent: Skill Organization Across Agents
+
+## Motivation
+
+Skills are scattered across multiple directories (`~/.codex/skills/`, `~/.claude/skills/`, `~/.pi/agent/skills/`), leading to duplication and drift. Some repos load skills they don't need. We want a single source of truth with clean deployment to all agents.
+
+## Need
+
+A maintainable system for:
+1. Developing skills in one place
+2. Deploying to all agent locations (pi, Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex)
+3. Filtering which skills load in which repos
+4. Keeping compatibility with agents we might use later
+
+## Use-Cases
+
+- **Skill development**: Edit a skill in `~/proj/skills/`, run deploy, all agents pick it up after Nix rebuild.
+- **Per-repo filtering**: Working in a Python project — don't load `nix-review`. Working in a Nix project — don't load `python-lint`.
+- **Agent compatibility**: Switch to Claude Code for a session — same skills available, same behavior.
+- **Avoiding drift**: Fix a bug in `worklog` skill — fix it once, deployed everywhere. No stale copies in random directories.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- Single source of truth for global skills (in dotfiles, managed by Nix)
+- All agents (pi, Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex) load skills from their expected locations
+- Per-repo skill filtering works (via pi settings or project config)
+- No duplicate skill directories to maintain
+- Development workflow: edit in skills repo → deploy → Nix rebuild → available everywhere
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Must work with Nix/home-manager deployment (no direnv, no runtime symlink management)
+- Skills must remain compatible with Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md format)
+- Pi is primary agent, but others must keep working
+- Extensions (TypeScript) are pi-only, separate concern for now
+
+## Anti-Goals
+
+- **Not changing skill format**: Skills stay as SKILL.md + scripts, no new abstraction
+- **Not building a skill manager tool**: Use Nix for deployment, not a custom CLI
+- **Not per-file filtering**: Filtering is per-skill, not per-file within a skill
+- **Not solving extension organization**: Extensions stay in `~/.pi/agent/extensions/`, address later if needed

+# Multi-Model Consensus: Current State & Pi Integration Analysis
+
+**Date**: 2026-01-22
+**Purpose**: Analyze what we have in orch vs what pi needs for multi-model consensus
+
+---
+
+## What We Have: Orch CLI
+
+### Core Capabilities
+
+**Commands**:
+1. `orch consensus` - Parallel multi-model queries with vote/brainstorm/critique/open modes
+2. `orch chat` - Single-model conversation with session management
+3. `orch models` - List/resolve 423 available models
+4. `orch sessions` - Manage conversation history
+
+**Key Features**:
+
+**Model Selection**:
+- 423 models across providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Qwen, Perplexity, etc.)
+- Aliases: `flash`, `gemini`, `gpt`, `claude`, `sonnet`, `opus`, `haiku`, `deepseek`, `r1`, `qwen`
+- Stance modifiers: `gpt:for`, `claude:against`, `gemini:neutral`
+- Cost awareness: `--allow-expensive` for opus/r1
+
+**Modes**:
+- `vote` - Support/Oppose/Neutral verdict with reasoning
+- `brainstorm` - Generate ideas without judgment
+- `critique` - Find flaws and weaknesses
+- `open` - Freeform responses
+
+**Context**:
+- File inclusion: `--file PATH` (multiple allowed)
+- Stdin piping: `cat code.py | orch consensus "..."`
+- Session continuity: `--session ID` for chat mode
+- Web search: `--websearch` (Gemini only)
+
+**Execution**:
+- Parallel by default, `--serial` for sequential
+- Serial strategies: neutral, refine, debate, brainstorm
+- Synthesis: `--synthesize MODEL` to aggregate responses
+- Timeout control: `--timeout SECS`
+
+**Output**:
+- Structured vote results with verdict counts
+- Reasoning for each model
+- Color-coded output (SUPPORT/OPPOSE/NEUTRAL)
+- Session IDs for continuation
+
+### Current Skill Integration
+
+**Location**: `~/.codex/skills/orch/`
+
+**What it provides**:
+- Documentation of orch capabilities
+- Usage patterns (second opinion, architecture decision, code review, devil's advocate, etc.)
+- Model selection guidance
+- Conversational patterns (session-based multi-turn, cross-model dialogue, iterative refinement)
+- Combined patterns (explore then validate)
+
+**What it does NOT provide**:
+- Direct agent tool invocation (agent must shell out to `orch`)
+- UI integration (no pickers, no inline results)
+- Conversation context sharing (agent's conversation ≠ orch's conversation)
+- Interactive model selection
+- Add-to-context workflow
+
+---
+
+## What Pi Oracle Extension Provides
+
+### From shitty-extensions/oracle.ts
+
+**UI Features**:
+- Interactive model picker overlay
+- Quick keys (1-9) for fast selection
+- Shows which models are authenticated/available
+- Excludes current model from picker
+- Formatted result display with scrolling
+
+**Context Sharing**:
+- **Inherits full conversation context** - Oracle sees the entire pi conversation
+- Sends conversation history to queried model
+- No need to re-explain context
+
+**Workflow**:
+1. User types `/oracle <prompt>`
+2. Model picker appears
+3. Select model with arrow keys or number
+4. Oracle queries model with **full conversation context + prompt**
+5. Result displays in scrollable overlay
+6. **"Add to context?" prompt** - YES/NO choice
+7. If YES, oracle response appends to conversation
+
+**Model Awareness**:
+- Only shows models with valid API keys
+- Filters out current model
+- Groups by provider (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI Codex)
+
+**Input Options**:
+- Direct: `/oracle -m gpt-4o <prompt>` (skips picker)
+- Files: `/oracle -f file.ts <prompt>` (includes file content)
+
+**Implementation Details**:
+- Uses pi's `@mariozechner/pi-ai` complete() API
+- Serializes conversation with `serializeConversation()`
+- Converts to LLM format with `convertToLlm()`
+- Custom TUI component for result display
+- BorderedLoader during query
+

+
+## Gap Analysis
+
+### What Orch Has That Oracle Doesn't
+
+1. **Multiple simultaneous queries** - Oracle queries one model at a time
+2. **Structured voting** - Support/Oppose/Neutral verdicts with counts
+3. **Multiple modes** - vote/brainstorm/critique/open (Oracle is always "open")
+4. **Stance modifiers** - :for/:against/:neutral bias (devil's advocate)
+5. **Serial strategies** - refine, debate, brainstorm sequences
+6. **Synthesis** - Aggregate multiple responses into summary
+7. **Session management** - Persistent conversation threads
+8. **423 models** - Far more models than Oracle's ~18
+9. **Cost awareness** - Explicit `--allow-expensive` gate
+10. **Web search** - Integrated search for Gemini/Perplexity
+11. **CLI flexibility** - File piping, stdin, session export
+
+### What Oracle Has That Orch Doesn't
+
+1. **Conversation context inheritance** - Oracle sees full pi conversation automatically
+2. **Interactive UI** - Model picker, scrollable results, keyboard navigation
+3. **Add-to-context workflow** - Explicit YES/NO to inject response
+4. **Current model exclusion** - Automatically filters out active model
+5. **Native pi integration** - No subprocess, uses pi's AI API directly
+6. **Quick keys** - 1-9 for instant model selection
+7. **Authenticated model filtering** - Only shows models with valid keys
+8. **Inline result display** - Formatted overlay with scrolling
+
+### What Neither Has (Opportunities)
+
+1. **Side-by-side comparison** - Show multiple model responses in split view
+2. **Vote visualization** - Bar chart or consensus gauge
+3. **Response diff** - Highlight disagreements between models
+4. **Model capability awareness** - Filter by vision/reasoning/coding/etc.
+5. **Cost preview** - Show estimated cost before querying
+6. **Cached responses** - Don't re-query same prompt to same model
+7. **Response export** - Save consensus to file/issue
+8. **Model recommendations** - Suggest models based on query type
+9. **Confidence scoring** - Gauge certainty in responses
+10. **Conversation branching** - Fork conversation with different models
+
+---
+
+## Pi Integration Options
+
+### Option 1: Wrap Orch CLI as Tool
+
+**Approach**: Register `orch` as a pi tool, shell out to CLI
+
+**Pros**:
+- Minimal code, reuses existing orch
+- All orch features available (423 models, voting, synthesis, etc.)
+- Already works with current skill
+
+**Cons**:
+- No conversation context sharing (pi's conversation ≠ orch's input)
+- No interactive UI (no model picker, no add-to-context)
+- Subprocess overhead
+- Output parsing required
+- Can't leverage pi's AI API
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+pi.registerTool({
+  name: "orch_consensus",
+  description: "Query multiple AI models for consensus on a question",
+  parameters: Type.Object({
+    prompt: Type.String({ description: "Question to ask" }),
+    models: Type.Array(Type.String(), { description: "Model aliases (flash, gemini, gpt, claude, etc.)" }),
+    mode: Type.Optional(Type.Enum({ vote: "vote", brainstorm: "brainstorm", critique: "critique", open: "open" })),
+    files: Type.Optional(Type.Array(Type.String(), { description: "Paths to include as context" })),
+  }),
+  async execute(toolCallId, params, onUpdate, ctx, signal) {
+    const args = ["consensus", params.prompt, ...params.models];
+    if (params.mode) args.push("--mode", params.mode);
+    if (params.files) params.files.forEach(f => args.push("--file", f));
+    
+    const result = await pi.exec("orch", args);
+    return { content: [{ type: "text", text: result.stdout }] };
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Context issue**: Agent would need to manually provide conversation context:
+```typescript
+// Agent would have to do this:
+const context = serializeConversation(ctx.sessionManager.getBranch());
+const contextFile = writeToTempFile(context);
+args.push("--file", contextFile);
+```
+
+---
+
+### Option 2: Oracle-Style Extension with Orch Models
+
+**Approach**: Port Oracle's UI/UX but use orch's model registry
+
+**Pros**:
+- Best UX: interactive picker, add-to-context, full conversation sharing
+- Native pi integration, no subprocess
+- Can query multiple models and show side-by-side
+- Direct access to pi's AI API
+
+**Cons**:
+- Doesn't leverage orch's advanced features (voting, synthesis, serial strategies)
+- Duplicate model registry (though could import from orch config)
+- More code to maintain
+- Loses orch's CLI flexibility (piping, session export, etc.)
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+pi.registerCommand("consensus", {
+  description: "Get consensus from multiple models",
+  handler: async (args, ctx) => {
+    // 1. Show model picker (multi-select)
+    const models = await ctx.ui.custom(
+      (tui, theme, kb, done) => new ModelPickerComponent(theme, done, { multiSelect: true })
+    );
+    
+    // 2. Serialize conversation context
+    const conversationHistory = serializeConversation(ctx.sessionManager.getBranch());
+    
+    // 3. Query models in parallel
+    const promises = models.map(m => 
+      complete(m.model, [
+        ...conversationHistory.map(convertToLlm),
+        { role: "user", content: args }
+      ], m.apiKey)
+    );
+    
+    // 4. Show results in comparison view
+    const results = await Promise.all(promises);
+    await ctx.ui.custom(
+      (tui, theme, kb, done) => new ConsensusResultComponent(results, theme, done)
+    );
+    
+    // 5. Add to context?
+    const shouldAdd = await ctx.ui.confirm("Add responses to conversation context?");
+    if (shouldAdd) {
+      // Append all responses or synthesized summary
+      ctx.sessionManager.appendMessage({
+        role: "assistant",
+        content: formatConsensus(results)
+      });
+    }
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Features to implement**:
+- Multi-select model picker (checkboxes)
+- Parallel query with progress indicators
+- Side-by-side result display with scrolling
+- Voting mode: parse "SUPPORT/OPPOSE/NEUTRAL" from responses
+- Add-to-context with synthesis option
+
+---
+
+### Option 3: Hybrid Approach
+
+**Approach**: Keep orch CLI for advanced use, add Oracle-style extension for quick queries
+
+**Pros**:
+- Best of both worlds
+- Agent can use tool for programmatic access
+- User can use `/oracle` for interactive queries
+- Orch handles complex scenarios (serial strategies, synthesis)
+- Oracle handles quick second opinions
+
+**Cons**:
+- Two parallel systems to maintain
+- Potential confusion about which to use
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+**Tool (for agent)**:
+```typescript
+pi.registerTool({
+  name: "orch_consensus",
+  // ... as in Option 1, shells out to orch CLI
+});
+```
+
+**Command (for user)**:
+```typescript
+pi.registerCommand("oracle", {
+  description: "Get second opinion from another model",
+  // ... as in Option 2, native UI integration
+});
+```
+
+**Usage patterns**:
+- User types `/oracle <prompt>` → interactive picker, add-to-context flow
+- Agent calls `orch_consensus()` → structured vote results in tool output
+- Agent suggests: "I can get consensus from multiple models using orch_consensus if you'd like"
+- User can also run `orch` directly in shell for advanced features
+
+---
+
+### Option 4: Enhanced Oracle with Orch Backend
+
+**Approach**: Oracle UI that calls orch CLI under the hood
+
+**Pros**:
+- Leverage orch's features through nice UI
+- Single source of truth (orch)
+- Can expose orch modes/options in UI
+
+**Cons**:
+- Subprocess overhead
+- Hard to share conversation context (orch doesn't expect serialized conversations)
+- Awkward impedance mismatch
+
+**Implementation challenges**:
+```typescript
+// How to pass conversation context to orch?
+// Orch expects a prompt, not a conversation history
+
+// Option A: Serialize entire conversation to temp file
+const contextFile = "/tmp/pi-conversation.txt";
+fs.writeFileSync(contextFile, formatConversation(history));
+await pi.exec("orch", ["consensus", prompt, ...models, "--file", contextFile]);
+
+// Option B: Inject context into prompt
+const augmentedPrompt = `
+Given this conversation:
+${formatConversation(history)}
+
+Answer this question: ${prompt}
+`;
+await pi.exec("orch", ["consensus", augmentedPrompt, ...models]);
+```
+
+Both are awkward because orch's input model doesn't match pi's conversation model.
+
+---
+
+## Recommendation
+
+### Short Term: Option 3 (Hybrid)
+
+**Rationale**:
+1. **Keep orch CLI** for its strengths:
+   - 423 models (way more than Oracle)
+   - Voting/synthesis/serial strategies
+   - CLI flexibility (piping, sessions, export)
+   - Already works, well-tested
+
+2. **Add Oracle-style extension** for its strengths:
+   - Interactive UI (model picker, results display)
+   - Conversation context sharing
+   - Add-to-context workflow
+   - Quick keys, better UX
+
+3. **Clear division of labor**:
+   - `/oracle` → quick second opinion, inherits conversation, nice UI
+   - `orch_consensus` tool → agent programmatic access, structured voting
+   - `orch` CLI → advanced features (synthesis, serial strategies, sessions)
+
+### Long Term: Option 2 (Native Integration) + Orch as Fallback
+
+**Rationale**:
+Eventually, we want:
+1. Native pi tool with full UI integration
+2. Access to orch's model registry (import from config)
+3. Voting, synthesis, comparison built into UI
+4. Conversation context sharing by default
+
+But keep `orch` CLI for:
+- Session management
+- Export/archival
+- Scripting/automation
+- Features not yet in pi extension
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Oracle Extension (Week 1)
+
+**Goal**: Interactive second opinion with conversation context
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Port Oracle extension from shitty-extensions
+2. Add model aliases from orch config
+3. Implement model picker with multi-select
+4. Conversation context serialization
+5. Add-to-context workflow
+6. Test with flash/gemini/gpt/claude
+
+**Deliverable**: `/oracle` command for quick second opinions
+
+### Phase 2: Orch Tool Wrapper (Week 2)
+
+**Goal**: Agent can invoke orch programmatically
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Register `orch_consensus` tool
+2. Map tool parameters to orch CLI args
+3. Serialize conversation context to temp file
+4. Parse orch output (vote results)
+5. Format for agent consumption
+
+**Deliverable**: Agent can call orch for structured consensus
+
+### Phase 3: Enhanced Oracle UI (Week 3-4)
+
+**Goal**: Side-by-side comparison and voting
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Multi-model query in parallel
+2. Split-pane result display
+3. Vote parsing (SUPPORT/OPPOSE/NEUTRAL)
+4. Consensus gauge visualization
+5. Diff highlighting (show disagreements)
+6. Cost preview before query
+
+**Deliverable**: Rich consensus UI with voting
+
+### Phase 4: Advanced Features (Month 2)
+
+**Goal**: Match orch's advanced features
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. Synthesis mode (aggregate responses)
+2. Serial strategies (refine, debate)
+3. Stance modifiers (:for/:against)
+4. Response caching (don't re-query)
+5. Model recommendations based on query
+6. Export to file/issue
+
+**Deliverable**: Feature parity with orch CLI
+
+---
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Model Registry Sharing
+
+**Current state**: Orch has 423 models in Python config
+
+**Options**:
+1. **Import orch config** - Parse orch's model registry
+2. **Duplicate registry** - Maintain separate TypeScript registry
+3. **Query orch** - Call `orch models` and parse output
+
+**Recommendation**: Start with (3), migrate to (1) later
+
+```typescript
+async function getOrchModels(): Promise<ModelAlias[]> {
+  const { stdout } = await pi.exec("orch", ["models"]);
+  return parseOrchModels(stdout);
+}
+```
+
+### Conversation Context Serialization
+
+**Challenge**: Pi's conversation format ≠ standard chat format
+
+**Solution**: Use pi's built-in `serializeConversation()` and `convertToLlm()`
+
+```typescript
+import { serializeConversation, convertToLlm } from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent";
+
+const history = ctx.sessionManager.getBranch();
+const serialized = serializeConversation(history);
+const llmMessages = serialized.map(convertToLlm);
+
+// Now compatible with any model's chat API
+const response = await complete(model, llmMessages, apiKey);
+```
+
+### Add-to-Context Workflow
+
+**UI Flow**:
+1. Show consensus results
+2. Prompt: "Add responses to conversation context?"
+3. Options:
+   - YES - Add all responses (verbose)
+   - SUMMARY - Add synthesized summary (concise)
+   - NO - Don't add
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+const choice = await ctx.ui.select("Add to context?", [
+  "Yes, add all responses",
+  "Yes, add synthesized summary",
+  "No, keep separate"
+]);
+
+if (choice === 0) {
+  // Append all model responses
+  for (const result of results) {
+    ctx.sessionManager.appendMessage({
+      role: "assistant",
+      content: `[${result.modelName}]: ${result.response}`
+    });
+  }
+} else if (choice === 1) {
+  // Synthesize and append
+  const summary = await synthesize(results, "gemini");
+  ctx.sessionManager.appendMessage({
+    role: "assistant",
+    content: `[Consensus]: ${summary}`
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Vote Parsing
+
+**Challenge**: Extract SUPPORT/OPPOSE/NEUTRAL from freeform responses
+
+**Strategies**:
+1. **Prompt engineering** - Ask models to start response with verdict
+2. **Regex matching** - Parse structured output
+3. **Secondary query** - Ask "classify this response as SUPPORT/OPPOSE/NEUTRAL"
+
+**Recommendation**: (1) with (3) as fallback
+
+```typescript
+const votePrompt = `${originalPrompt}
+
+Respond with your verdict first: SUPPORT, OPPOSE, or NEUTRAL
+Then explain your reasoning.`;
+
+const response = await complete(model, [...history, { role: "user", content: votePrompt }]);
+
+const match = response.match(/^(SUPPORT|OPPOSE|NEUTRAL)/i);
+const verdict = match ? match[1].toUpperCase() : "NEUTRAL";
+```
+
+### Cost Estimation
+
+**Orch approach**: Uses pricing data in model registry
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+interface ModelInfo {
+  id: string;
+  name: string;
+  inputCostPer1M: number;
+  outputCostPer1M: number;
+}
+
+function estimateCost(prompt: string, history: Message[], models: ModelInfo[]): number {
+  const inputTokens = estimateTokens([...history, { role: "user", content: prompt }]);
+  const outputTokens = 1000; // Estimate
+  
+  return models.reduce((total, m) => {
+    const inputCost = (inputTokens / 1_000_000) * m.inputCostPer1M;
+    const outputCost = (outputTokens / 1_000_000) * m.outputCostPer1M;
+    return total + inputCost + outputCost;
+  }, 0);
+}
+
+// Show before querying
+const cost = estimateCost(prompt, history, selectedModels);
+const confirmed = await ctx.ui.confirm(`Estimated cost: $${cost.toFixed(3)}. Continue?`);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Design Questions
+
+### 1. Should Oracle query multiple models or just one?
+
+**Current Oracle**: One model at a time
+**Orch**: Multiple models in parallel
+
+**Recommendation**: Support both
+- `/oracle <prompt>` → single model picker (quick second opinion)
+- `/oracle-consensus <prompt>` → multi-select picker (true consensus)
+
+Or:
+- `/oracle` with Shift+Enter for multi-select
+
+### 2. Should results auto-add to context or always prompt?
+
+**Current Oracle**: Always prompts
+**Orch**: No context, just output
+
+**Recommendation**: Make it configurable
+- Default: always prompt
+- Setting: `oracle.autoAddToContext = true` to skip prompt
+- ESC = don't add (quick exit)
+
+### 3. How to handle expensive models?
+
+**Orch**: Requires `--allow-expensive` flag
+
+**Recommendation**: Show cost and prompt
+- Model picker shows cost per model
+- Selecting opus/r1 shows warning: "This is expensive ($X per query). Continue?"
+- Can disable in settings
+
+### 4. Should we cache responses?
+
+**Problem**: Querying same prompt to same model multiple times wastes money
+
+**Recommendation**: Short-term cache
+- Cache key: `hash(model + conversation_context + prompt)`
+- TTL: 5 minutes
+- Show indicator: "(cached)" in results
+- Option to force refresh
+
+### 5. How to visualize consensus?
+
+**Options**:
+1. List view (like orch) - each model's response sequentially
+2. Side-by-side - split screen with responses in columns
+3. Gauge - visual consensus meter (% support)
+4. Diff view - highlight agreements/disagreements
+
+**Recommendation**: Progressive disclosure
+- Initial: Gauge + vote counts
+- Expand: List view with reasoning
+- Advanced: Side-by-side diff view
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Prototype Oracle extension** (today)
+   - Port from shitty-extensions
+   - Test with flash/gemini
+   - Verify conversation context sharing
+
+2. **Design consensus UI** (tomorrow)
+   - Sketch multi-model result layout
+   - Decide on vote visualization
+   - Mock up add-to-context flow
+
+3. **Implement model picker** (day 3)
+   - Multi-select support
+   - Quick keys (1-9 for single, checkboxes for multi)
+   - Show cost/capabilities
+   - Filter by authenticated models
+
+4. **Build comparison view** (day 4-5)
+   - Parallel query execution
+   - Progress indicators
+   - Side-by-side results
+   - Diff highlighting
+
+5. **Add orch tool wrapper** (day 6)
+   - Register tool for agent use
+   - Map parameters to CLI args
+   - Parse vote output
+
+6. **Integration testing** (day 7)
+   - Test with real conversations
+   - Verify context sharing works
+   - Check cost estimates
+   - Test with slow models (timeout handling)
+
+---
+

+3. Interactive wizard (edit name, description, content, location)
+4. Skill loads automatically next time based on semantic matching
+
+**Triggers**:
+- Keywords: "save this as a skill", "extract a skill"
+- Session end offer if significant debugging happened
+
+**Steal-worthy**:
+- Meta-learning loop pattern
+- Skill extraction from conversation
+- Semantic matching for auto-loading

+## Patterns Worth Stealing
+
+### 1. Multi-Model Consensus
+- oracle.ts: second opinions without switching contexts
+- Model picker UI with inheritance
+- "Add to context?" after response
+
+### 2. Meta-Learning Loop
+- piception: save discoveries as skills
+- Semantic matching for auto-loading
+- Interactive extraction wizard
+
+### 3. Token Budget Consciousness
+- pi-mcp-adapter: lazy tool discovery
+- Search-then-invoke pattern
+- Proxy tools instead of full schemas
+
+### 4. Observable Subprocess Control
+- pi-interactive-shell: watch agent work
+- Session management (query/kill)
+- Auto-exit on quiet
+
+### 5. Smart Persistence
+- tools.ts: branch-aware state
+- git-checkpoint.ts: stash per turn
+- Compaction-safe storage
+
+### 6. Review Loops
+- pi-review-loop: keep going until clean
+- Smart exit detection
+- Multi-pass catching different issues
+
+### 7. Adaptive UI
+- powerline-footer: Nerd Font detection
+- Preset system for contexts
+- Thinking level visualization
+- Async git caching
+
+### 8. Safety Guards
+- protected-paths.ts: block dangerous writes
+- dirty-repo-guard.ts: warn on uncommitted changes
+- confirm-destructive.ts: require confirmation
+
+### 9. Model Management
+- pi-model-switch: agent-driven switching
+- Alias system with fallbacks
+- Natural language selection
+
+### 10. Memory/Instruction Management
+- memory-mode.ts: AI-assisted AGENTS.md merge
+- Location selector (local/project/global)
+- Preview before save
+
+---
+
+## Ideas for Dotfiles Integration
+
+### High Priority
+
+1. **Multi-agent consensus** - `/orch` equivalent as extension
+   - Already have orch CLI, could wrap as tool
+   - Modal picker UI for model selection
+   - "Add to context?" option
+
+2. **Nix build observer** - Interactive-shell pattern
+   - Watch long Nix builds in overlay
+   - Take over if needed
+   - Auto-exit on completion
+
+3. **Review loop integration** - Work with nix-review skill
+   - `/nix-review-loop` command
+   - Keep reviewing until no issues
+   - Multi-lens passes
+
+4. **Protected paths for NixOS** - Prevent accidental mutations
+   - Block writes to `/secrets/*.yaml` (use sops edit)
+   - Block direct writes to `/nix/store`
+   - Warn on `/etc/nixos` (use modules/)
+
+5. **Git checkpoint auto-restore** - Already have good git hygiene
+   - Track changes per turn
+   - Offer restore on fork
+   - Persist with session
+
+### Medium Priority
+
+6. **Beads integration** - Native issue tracking
+   - `/beads` command for issue operations
+   - Tool registration for agent-created issues
+   - Smart linking to commits/files
+
+7. **Model switcher with aliases**
+   - `cheap: gemini-2.5-flash`
+   - `expensive: claude-opus-4-5`
+   - `nix: claude-sonnet-4-5` (good at Nix)
+   - Agent decides based on task
+
+8. **Usage tracking** - Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini quotas
+   - Footer widget with remaining tokens
+   - Warning at 80% usage
+   - Cost tracking per session
+
+9. **Sops secret guard** - Prevent accidental leaks
+   - Intercept tool calls with secret patterns
+   - Require confirmation for copying secrets
+   - Never write secrets to non-sops files
+
+10. **Skill extraction** - Piception pattern
+    - Save debugging sessions as skills
+    - Auto-populate `~/.pi/agent/skills/`
+    - Semantic matching for future loads
+
+### Low Priority
+
+11. **Niri window capture integration** - Already have skill
+    - Tool registration for agent use
+    - Screenshot before/after comparisons
+    - Visual regression testing
+
+12. **Powerline footer** - NixOS-specific widgets
+    - Flake lock status (outdated inputs)
+    - Rebuild needed indicator
+    - System generation count
+
+13. **Speed reader** - For long outputs
+    - Nix build logs
+    - Test results
+    - Documentation
+
+14. **Plan mode** - Safe exploration
+    - Read-only for large refactors
+    - Preview changes before applying
+    - "/plan" toggle
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Notes
+
+### Extension Hooks (from examples)
+
+**Lifecycle**:
+- `session_start` - initialization
+- `session_end` - cleanup
+- `agent_start` - before agent turn
+- `agent_end` - after agent turn
+- `turn_start` - before turn processing
+- `turn_end` - after turn completion
+
+**Interaction**:
+- `tool_call` - intercept before execution (can block)
+- `tool_result` - after execution (can modify)
+- `user_message` - intercept user input
+- `ai_message` - intercept AI output
+
+**Session**:
+- `session_before_fork` - before creating fork
+- `session_fork` - after fork created
+- `session_tree` - on tree navigation
+- `session_compact` - during compaction
+
+**UI**:
+- `ctx.ui.notify()` - system notifications
+- `ctx.ui.select()` - picker UI
+- `ctx.ui.confirm()` - yes/no prompts
+- `ctx.ui.custom()` - full custom components
+- `ctx.ui.setEditorComponent()` - replace editor
+
+**State**:
+- `pi.appendEntry<T>(type, data)` - persist to session
+- `ctx.sessionManager.getBranch()` - get current branch
+- `ctx.sessionManager.getLeafEntry()` - get current entry
+
+**Tools**:
+- `pi.registerTool()` - add new tools
+- `pi.setActiveTools()` - filter available tools
+- `pi.getAllTools()` - list all tools
+- `pi.getActiveTools()` - list active tools
+
+**Commands**:
+- `pi.registerCommand(name, { description, handler })` - add `/command`
+
+**Execution**:
+- `pi.exec(cmd, args)` - run subprocess
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Review dotfiles' current extension setup (if any)
+2. Prioritize extensions to implement
+3. Start with git-checkpoint (simple, high value)
+4. Add protected-paths for secrets
+5. Build beads tool integration
+6. Consider multi-agent consensus wrapper

+# Pi Coding Agent UI/TUI Ecosystem Research
+
+**Date**: 2026-01-22
+**Purpose**: Survey pi-coding-agent UI/TUI patterns and components for dotfiles integration
+
+## Official TUI Package (@mariozechner/pi-tui)
+
+### Core Features
+
+**Differential Rendering**:
+- Three-strategy system (first render, width change, normal update)
+- Synchronized output with CSI 2026 for flicker-free updates
+- Only updates changed lines
+
+**Component Architecture**:
+```typescript
+interface Component {
+  render(width: number): string[];      // Must not exceed width!
+  handleInput?(data: string): void;     // Keyboard input
+  invalidate?(): void;                  // Clear cached state
+}
+```
+
+**Focusable Interface** (IME Support):
+```typescript
+interface Focusable {
+  focused: boolean;  // Set by TUI when focus changes
+}
+```
+- Emit `CURSOR_MARKER` right before fake cursor
+- TUI positions hardware cursor at marker
+- Enables IME candidate windows (CJK input)
+
+**Overlay System**:
+```typescript
+const handle = tui.showOverlay(component, {
+  width: 60 | "80%",
+  maxHeight: 20 | "50%",
+  anchor: 'center' | 'top-left' | 'bottom-right',
+  offsetX: 2, offsetY: -1,
+  row: 5 | "25%", col: 10 | "50%",
+  margin: 2 | { top, right, bottom, left },
+  visible: (termWidth, termHeight) => termWidth >= 100
+});
+handle.hide();
+handle.setHidden(true);  // Temporarily hide
+handle.isHidden();
+```
+
+**Anchor values**: center, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, top-center, bottom-center, left-center, right-center
+
+### Built-in Components
+
+**Layout**:
+- `Container` - Groups children
+- `Box` - Container with padding + background
+- `Spacer` - Empty lines
+
+**Text**:
+- `Text` - Multi-line with word wrap
+- `TruncatedText` - Single line with truncation
+- `Markdown` - Full markdown rendering with syntax highlight
+
+**Input**:
+- `Input` - Single-line text input with scrolling
+- `Editor` - Multi-line editor with autocomplete, paste handling, vertical scrolling
+
+**Selection**:
+- `SelectList` - Interactive picker with keyboard nav
+- `SettingsList` - Settings panel with value cycling + submenus
+
+**Feedback**:
+- `Loader` - Animated spinner
+- `CancellableLoader` - Loader with Escape + AbortSignal
+
+**Media**:
+- `Image` - Inline images (Kitty/iTerm2 protocol, fallback to placeholder)
+
+### Key Detection
+
+```typescript
+import { matchesKey, Key } from "@mariozechner/pi-tui";
+
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.ctrl("c"))) process.exit(0);
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.enter)) submit();
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.escape)) cancel();
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.up)) moveUp();
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.ctrlShift("p"))) command();
+```
+
+**Key helpers**:
+- Basic: `Key.enter`, `Key.escape`, `Key.tab`, `Key.space`, `Key.backspace`, `Key.delete`, `Key.home`, `Key.end`
+- Arrows: `Key.up`, `Key.down`, `Key.left`, `Key.right`
+- Modifiers: `Key.ctrl("c")`, `Key.shift("tab")`, `Key.alt("left")`, `Key.ctrlShift("p")`
+- String format: `"enter"`, `"ctrl+c"`, `"shift+tab"`, `"ctrl+shift+p"`
+
+### Utilities
+
+```typescript
+import { visibleWidth, truncateToWidth, wrapTextWithAnsi } from "@mariozechner/pi-tui";
+
+// Visible width (ignoring ANSI)
+const w = visibleWidth("\x1b[31mHello\x1b[0m"); // 5
+
+// Truncate with ellipsis (preserves ANSI)
+const t = truncateToWidth("Hello World", 8); // "Hello..."
+const t2 = truncateToWidth("Hello World", 8, ""); // "Hello Wo"
+
+// Wrap text (preserves ANSI across lines)
+const lines = wrapTextWithAnsi("Long line...", 20);
+```
+
+### Autocomplete
+
+```typescript
+import { CombinedAutocompleteProvider } from "@mariozechner/pi-tui";
+
+const provider = new CombinedAutocompleteProvider(
+  [
+    { name: "help", description: "Show help" },
+    { name: "clear", description: "Clear screen" },
+  ],
+  process.cwd()  // base path for file completion
+);
+
+editor.setAutocompleteProvider(provider);
+// Type "/" for slash commands
+// Press Tab for file paths (~/, ./, ../, @)
+```
+
+---
+
+## UI Extension Examples
+
+### Header/Footer Customization
+
+#### custom-header.ts
+
+Replaces built-in header with custom component (pi mascot ASCII art).
+
+**Pattern**:
+```typescript
+pi.on("session_start", async (_event, ctx) => {
+  ctx.ui.setHeader((_tui, theme) => ({
+    render(_width: number): string[] {
+      return [...mascotLines, subtitle];
+    },
+    invalidate() {}
+  }));
+});
+
+pi.registerCommand("builtin-header", {
+  handler: async (_args, ctx) => {
+    ctx.ui.setHeader(undefined);  // Restore built-in
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Steal-worthy**:
+- ASCII art rendering
+- Dynamic theme-aware coloring
+- Toggle command to restore defaults
+
+#### custom-footer.ts
+
+Custom footer with token stats + git branch.
+
+**Pattern**:
+```typescript
+ctx.ui.setFooter((tui, theme, footerData) => {
+  const unsub = footerData.onBranchChange(() => tui.requestRender());
+  
+  return {
+    dispose: unsub,
+    render(width: number): string[] {
+      const branch = footerData.getGitBranch();  // Not otherwise accessible!
+      const left = theme.fg("dim", `↑${input} ↓${output} $${cost}`);
+      const right = theme.fg("dim", `${model}${branchStr}`);
+      const pad = " ".repeat(width - visibleWidth(left) - visibleWidth(right));
+      return [truncateToWidth(left + pad + right, width)];
+    }
+  };
+});
+```
+
+**Key APIs**:
+- `footerData.getGitBranch()` - Current branch (not in ctx)
+- `footerData.getExtensionStatuses()` - Status texts from `ctx.ui.setStatus()`
+- `footerData.onBranchChange(callback)` - Subscribe to branch changes
+
+**Steal-worthy**:
+- Git integration pattern
+- Token/cost tracking
+- Left/right alignment with padding
+
+---
+
+### Editor Customization
+
+#### modal-editor.ts

+  
+  handleInput(data: string): void {
+    if (matchesKey(data, "escape")) {
+      if (this.mode === "insert") {
+        this.mode = "normal";
+      } else {
+        super.handleInput(data);  // Abort agent
+      }
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    if (this.mode === "insert") {
+      super.handleInput(data);
+      return;
+    }
+    
+    // Normal mode key mappings
+    const NORMAL_KEYS = {
+      h: "\x1b[D", j: "\x1b[B", k: "\x1b[A", l: "\x1b[C",
+      "0": "\x01", $: "\x05", x: "\x1b[3~",
+      i: null, a: null
+    };
+    
+    if (data in NORMAL_KEYS) {
+      const seq = NORMAL_KEYS[data];
+      if (data === "i") this.mode = "insert";
+      else if (data === "a") {
+        this.mode = "insert";
+        super.handleInput("\x1b[C");  // Move right first
+      } else if (seq) {
+        super.handleInput(seq);
+      }
+    }
+  }
+  
+  render(width: number): string[] {
+    const lines = super.render(width);
+    const label = this.mode === "normal" ? " NORMAL " : " INSERT ";
+    // Add mode indicator to bottom border
+    lines[lines.length - 1] = truncateToWidth(
+      lines[lines.length - 1],
+      width - label.length
+    ) + label;
+    return lines;
+  }
+}
+
+export default function (pi: ExtensionAPI) {
+  pi.on("session_start", (_event, ctx) => {
+    ctx.ui.setEditorComponent((tui, theme, kb) => 
+      new ModalEditor(tui, theme, kb)
+    );
+  });
+}
+```

+- Modal editing pattern
+- Custom key mapping layer
+- Mode indicator in border
+- Pass-through to super for unmapped keys
+
+#### rainbow-editor.ts
+
+Animated rainbow "ultrathink" effect.

+  private animationTimer?: ReturnType<typeof setInterval>;
+  private frame = 0;
+  
+  private startAnimation(): void {
+    this.animationTimer = setInterval(() => {
+      this.frame++;
+      this.tui.requestRender();
+    }, 60);
+  }
+  
+  handleInput(data: string): void {
+    super.handleInput(data);
+    if (/ultrathink/i.test(this.getText())) {
+      this.startAnimation();
+    } else {
+      this.stopAnimation();
+    }
+  }
+  
+  render(width: number): string[] {
+    const cycle = this.frame % 20;
+    const shinePos = cycle < 10 ? cycle : -1;
+    
+    return super.render(width).map(line => 
+      line.replace(/ultrathink/gi, m => colorize(m, shinePos))
+    );
+  }
+}
+
+function colorize(text: string, shinePos: number): string {
+  const COLORS = [[233,137,115], [228,186,103], [141,192,122], ...];
+  return [...text].map((c, i) => {
+    const baseColor = COLORS[i % COLORS.length];
+    let factor = 0;
+    const dist = Math.abs(i - shinePos);
+    if (dist === 0) factor = 0.7;
+    else if (dist === 1) factor = 0.35;

+  if (!ctx.hasUI) return;
+  
+  ctx.ui.setWidget("widget-above", ["Above editor widget"]);
+  
+  ctx.ui.setWidget("widget-below", 
+    ["Below editor widget"],

+### Theme Management
+
+#### mac-system-theme.ts
+
+Auto-sync theme with macOS appearance.
+
+**Pattern**:
+```typescript
+async function isDarkMode(): Promise<boolean> {
+  const { stdout } = await execAsync(
+    'osascript -e "tell application \\"System Events\\" to tell appearance preferences to return dark mode"'
+  );
+  return stdout.trim() === "true";
+}
+
+export default function (pi: ExtensionAPI) {
+  let intervalId: ReturnType<typeof setInterval> | null = null;
+  
+  pi.on("session_start", async (_event, ctx) => {
+    let currentTheme = await isDarkMode() ? "dark" : "light";
+    ctx.ui.setTheme(currentTheme);
+    
+    intervalId = setInterval(async () => {
+      const newTheme = await isDarkMode() ? "dark" : "light";
+      if (newTheme !== currentTheme) {
+        currentTheme = newTheme;
+        ctx.ui.setTheme(currentTheme);
+      }
+    }, 2000);
+  });
+  
+  pi.on("session_shutdown", () => {
+    if (intervalId) {
+      clearInterval(intervalId);
+      intervalId = null;
+    }
+  });
+}
+```

+
+## Ideas for Dotfiles Integration
+
+### High Priority
+
+1. **NixOS-aware footer** - Extend powerline pattern
+   - Segments: flake-lock-age, rebuild-needed, generation-count, last-build-status
+   - Git branch with dirty indicator
+   - Nix eval cost (tokens used for config generation)
+   - Auto-compact indicator
+
+2. **Nix build overlay** - Long-running build visualization
+   - Show build progress in overlay
+   - Stream build log with auto-scroll
+   - Color-coded output (errors red, warnings yellow)
+   - Escape to background, status in widget
+
+3. **Beads issue selector** - Overlay with inline filtering
+   - Show issues with priority/status
+   - Filter by label, search
+   - Inline preview of issue description
+   - Quick actions (update status, add comment)
+
+4. **Multi-model consensus UI** - Extend oracle pattern
+   - Model picker with Nix-aware descriptions
+   - Show model capabilities (nix, general, vision)
+   - Side-by-side response comparison
+   - Vote/merge UI
+
+### Medium Priority
+
+5. **Sops secret editor** - Protected inline editing
+   - Overlay for secret selection
+   - Inline decryption/editing
+   - Re-encrypt on save
+   - Never show in main editor
+
+6. **Niri window grid** - Visual window picker
+   - ASCII art grid of workspaces
+   - Window thumbnails (if terminal supports images)
+   - Keyboard navigation
+   - Launch window in context
+
+7. **Git checkpoint visualizer** - Tree view overlay
+   - Show checkpoint stash refs
+   - Visual diff preview
+   - One-key restore
+   - Fork visualization
+
+8. **Plan mode indicator** - Visual read-only state
+   - Header banner when in plan mode
+   - Different border color
+   - Disable write/edit tools
+   - Clear toggle status
+
+### Low Priority
+
+9. **Skill extraction wizard** - Piception pattern
+   - Detect debugging sessions
+   - Offer extraction at session end
+   - Interactive editor for skill content
+   - Auto-populate metadata
+
+10. **Usage quota widget** - Above-editor status
+    - Anthropic 5h/week countdown
+    - OpenAI rate limits
+    - Gemini quota
+    - Color-coded warnings
+
+11. **Rainbow ultrathink** - Fun effect

+    - Gradient colors
+
+12. **ASCII art loader** - NixOS theme
+    - Snowflake logo animation
+    - Nix build status messages
+    - Progress bar for long operations
+
+---
+
+## Architecture Notes
+
+### UI Extension Hooks
+
+**Lifecycle**:
+- `session_start` - Set up UI components
+- `session_shutdown` - Clean up timers, resources
+
+**UI Customization**:
+- `ctx.ui.setHeader(factory)` - Replace header
+- `ctx.ui.setFooter(factory)` - Replace footer
+- `ctx.ui.setEditorComponent(factory)` - Replace editor
+- `ctx.ui.setWidget(id, lines, { placement })` - Add widget
+- `ctx.ui.setTheme(name)` - Change theme
+
+**UI Interactions**:
+- `ctx.ui.notify(message, level)` - Show notification
+- `ctx.ui.select(prompt, options)` - Picker dialog
+- `ctx.ui.confirm(prompt)` - Yes/no dialog
+- `ctx.ui.custom(factory, { overlay })` - Custom component
+
+**Footer Data** (only in setFooter):
+- `footerData.getGitBranch()` - Current branch
+- `footerData.getExtensionStatuses()` - Status texts
+- `footerData.onBranchChange(callback)` - Subscribe to changes
+
+### Component Best Practices
+
+**Line Width Constraint**:
+- Each line MUST NOT exceed `width` parameter
+- Use `truncateToWidth()` to ensure compliance
+- TUI will error on overflow
+
+**ANSI Handling**:
+- `visibleWidth()` ignores ANSI codes
+- `truncateToWidth()` preserves ANSI codes
+- `wrapTextWithAnsi()` maintains styling across wraps
+- TUI appends SGR reset + OSC 8 reset per line
+
+**Caching**:
+- Cache rendered output when possible
+- Invalidate on state changes
+- Check cached width matches current width
+
+**IME Support**:
+- Implement `Focusable` interface
+- Set `focused` property
+- Emit `CURSOR_MARKER` before fake cursor
+- Container components must propagate focus
+
+### Overlay Positioning
+
+**Resolution Order**:
+1. `minWidth` floor after width calculation
+2. Position: absolute > percentage > anchor
+3. `margin` clamps to terminal bounds
+4. `visible` callback controls rendering
+
+**Sizing**:
+- Numbers = absolute columns/rows
+- Strings = percentages ("50%", "80%")
+- `maxHeight`, `maxWidth` limits
+- `minWidth` floor
+
+**Positioning**:
+- `anchor` + `offsetX`/`offsetY` (simple)
+- `row`/`col` percentages (responsive)
+- Absolute `row`/`col` (precise)
+- `margin` for edge padding
+
+### Key Detection Patterns
+
+**Kitty Protocol Support**:
+- Use `Key` helper for autocomplete
+- String literals also work
+- Handles Shift, Ctrl, Alt modifiers
+- Gracefully degrades on non-Kitty terminals
+
+**Common Patterns**:
+```typescript
+// Navigation
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.up)) moveUp();
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.down)) moveDown();
+
+// Submission
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.enter)) submit();
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.escape)) cancel();
+
+// Modifiers
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.ctrl("c"))) abort();
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.shift("tab"))) back();
+if (matchesKey(data, Key.ctrlShift("p"))) command();
+```
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Implement NixOS-aware footer extension
+2. Create Nix build overlay for long operations
+3. Add beads issue selector overlay
+4. Prototype multi-model consensus UI
+5. Build git checkpoint visualizer
+6. Add plan mode visual indicator

+
+## Key Gaps
+
+1. **Claude-dependent web search**: `web-search` and `web-research` require Claude CLI and will fail for Gemini/Codex/OpenCode by default.
+2. **Toolchain-heavy reviews**: `ops-review` and `code-review` depend on local tool installs and lens files.
+3. **Worker orchestration relies on bd**: `hq` and `review-gate` depend on `bd` and `worker` being present.
+
+## Immediate Opportunities
+
+- Encourage **brave-search** as the default fallback when Claude search is unavailable.
+- Add dependency checks and clearer failure messaging in `web-search` / `web-research` scripts.
+- Document minimal install steps for review skills (lenses + lint toolchain).

+# Work: LAN-only pi-web-ui prototype
+
+## Intent (Why)
+- Explore a repo from a phone/browser while another terminal is in use.
+- Provide a simple, local-only web UI for pi without cloud hosting.
+
+## Approach (How)
+- Create a minimal web app using `@mariozechner/pi-web-ui`.
+- Run a lightweight local server bound to LAN IP.
+- Keep it unauthenticated and local-only for now.
+
+## Work Checklist
+- [x] W001: Decide project location + folder layout for the prototype
+  - Verification: `prototypes/pi-web-ui-lan/` created in repo
+- [x] W002: Document user workflow + test plan
+  - Verification: workflow + test steps captured in this doc
+- [ ] W003: Scaffold a minimal web UI app (pi-web-ui ChatPanel)
+  - Verification: app builds and renders chat UI in browser
+- [ ] W004: Provide a lightweight LAN server command
+  - Verification: open UI from phone on LAN
+- [x] W005: Document minimal run steps
+  - Verification: README shows exact commands
+
+## Workflow (Draft)
+
+1. **Start local web UI** from the repo root.
+2. **Find LAN IP + port** printed by the server.
+3. **Open URL on phone** on the same Wi‑Fi network.
+4. **Chat in web UI** to explore the repo while terminal is free.
+
+## Test Plan (Draft)
+
+1. Start the dev server on the laptop.
+2. Confirm the UI loads in a desktop browser.
+3. Open the LAN URL on the phone and confirm it loads.
+4. Send a prompt and verify the chat UI streams a response.
+
+## Verification Evidence
+- (2026-01-21) W001: Created `prototypes/pi-web-ui-lan/` with Vite layout.
+- (2026-01-21) W002: Workflow + test plan documented here.
+- (2026-01-21) W005: Added `prototypes/pi-web-ui-lan/README.md` with run steps.
+- (2026-01-21) Dependencies installed via nix shell + pnpm (requires approving esbuild build scripts).
+
+## Notes
+- Keep scope local-only; no auth, no external deployment.
+- W003/W004 require running the dev server and validating LAN access.
+- pnpm reported ignored build scripts for esbuild; may need `pnpm approve-builds` before running Vite.

+# Bug Report: Ralph Loop Iteration Counter Not Incrementing
+
+**Date**: 2026-01-22
+**Repo**: dotfiles (using skills flake's ralph-wiggum extension)
+**Extension**: `~/.pi/agent/extensions/ralph-wiggum/index.ts`
+
+## Summary
+
+The Ralph loop iteration counter stays stuck at 1 even when the agent completes work and calls `ralph_done`. The iteration prompt shows "Iteration 1/50" throughout the entire session, never advancing.
+
+## Observed Behavior
+
+1. Started ralph loop with `ralph_start` tool
+2. Completed 7 categories of review work (35 lens passes)
+3. Called `ralph_done` multiple times after completing work
+4. Each `ralph_done` call returned: `"Pending messages already queued. Skipping ralph_done."`
+5. Iteration counter never incremented past 1
+6. Work completed successfully but loop showed "Iteration 1/50" the entire time
+7. Final completion banner showed "1 iterations" despite doing ~7 logical iterations of work
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+In `ralph_done` tool execute function (line ~460):
+
+```typescript
+async execute(_toolCallId, _params, _onUpdate, ctx) {
+  if (!currentLoop) {
+    return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "No active Ralph loop." }], details: {} };
+  }
+
+  const state = loadState(ctx, currentLoop);
+  if (!state || state.status !== "active") {
+    return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "Ralph loop is not active." }], details: {} };
+  }
+
+  // THIS IS THE PROBLEM
+  if (ctx.hasPendingMessages()) {
+    return {
+      content: [{ type: "text", text: "Pending messages already queued. Skipping ralph_done." }],
+      details: {},
+    };
+  }
+
+  // Iteration only increments AFTER the pending messages check
+  state.iteration++;
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+The `ctx.hasPendingMessages()` check returns `true` when:
+- Other tool calls are batched with `ralph_done`
+- Follow-up messages are queued from previous operations
+- Any async operations have pending responses
+
+**In practice**, this guard ALWAYS triggers during normal agent operation because:
+1. Agent makes multiple tool calls (read files, run commands, file issues)
+2. Agent then calls `ralph_done` 
+3. Previous tool responses create "pending messages"
+4. Guard triggers, iteration skipped
+
+## Impact
+
+- **User confusion**: Progress appears stuck at iteration 1
+- **No reflection checkpoints**: `reflectEvery` never triggers since iteration never advances
+- **Incorrect completion stats**: Final banner shows wrong iteration count
+- **Work document diverges**: Agent's actual progress doesn't match Ralph's iteration state
+
+## Reproduction Steps
+
+1. Start a ralph loop:
+```
+/ralph start test-loop --items-per-iteration 5
+```
+
+2. Have the agent do ANY work involving multiple tool calls:
+```
+- Read a few files
+- Run some bash commands
+- Call ralph_done
+```
+
+3. Observe: `ralph_done` returns "Pending messages already queued"
+
+4. Check state file:
+```bash
+cat .ralph/test-loop.state.json | jq .iteration
+# Always returns 1
+```
+
+## Proposed Fixes
+
+### Option A: Remove the guard entirely
+
+The guard's purpose seems to be preventing duplicate iteration messages, but it's too aggressive:
+
+```typescript
+// Remove this block entirely
+if (ctx.hasPendingMessages()) {
+  return { ... };
+}
+```
+
+**Risk**: Might cause duplicate prompts if agent calls ralph_done multiple times.
+
+### Option B: Increment iteration regardless, only skip prompt delivery
+
+```typescript
+// Always increment
+state.iteration++;
+saveState(ctx, state);
+updateUI(ctx);
+
+// Only skip the PROMPT delivery if there are pending messages
+if (ctx.hasPendingMessages()) {
+  return {
+    content: [{ type: "text", text: `Iteration ${state.iteration} recorded. Prompt deferred due to pending messages.` }],
+    details: {},
+  };
+}
+
+// Continue with prompt delivery...
+```
+
+**Benefit**: Counter stays accurate even if prompt is deferred.
+
+### Option C: Check for pending USER messages only
+
+If `hasPendingMessages()` can distinguish message types:
+
+```typescript
+if (ctx.hasPendingUserMessages?.()) {  // More specific check
+  return { ... };
+}
+```
+
+**Benefit**: Tool responses wouldn't block iteration.
+
+### Option D: Use a flag to prevent re-entry
+
+```typescript
+// At module level
+let ralph_done_in_progress = false;
+
+// In execute
+if (ralph_done_in_progress) {
+  return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "ralph_done already in progress." }], details: {} };
+}
+ralph_done_in_progress = true;
+try {
+  // ... do the work
+} finally {
+  ralph_done_in_progress = false;
+}
+```
+
+**Benefit**: Prevents actual re-entry without blocking on unrelated pending messages.
+
+## Recommended Fix
+
+**Option B** seems safest:
+- Iteration counter always reflects actual progress
+- UI stays accurate
+- Prompt delivery can be deferred without losing state
+- Backwards compatible
+
+## Additional Context
+
+### State file after "completion" (iteration stuck at 1):
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "nix-modules-review",
+  "taskFile": ".ralph/nix-modules-review.md",
+  "iteration": 1,
+  "maxIterations": 50,
+  "itemsPerIteration": 5,
+  "reflectEvery": 0,
+  "active": false,
+  "status": "completed",
+  "startedAt": "2026-01-22T22:49:53.055Z",
+  "completedAt": "2026-01-22T22:55:10.628Z"
+}
+```
+
+### Actual work completed:
+- 7 module categories reviewed
+- 5 lenses per category = 35 review passes
+- 14 issues filed in beads
+- Epic created and closed
+
+The iteration should have been ~7-8, not 1.
+
+## Questions for Investigation
+
+1. What exactly does `ctx.hasPendingMessages()` check? Is it documented in pi's ExtensionAPI?
+2. Is this guard necessary for correctness, or just a precaution?
+3. Are there other extensions using similar patterns that work correctly?
+4. Should `ralph_done` be designed to be called as the ONLY tool in a response (documented behavior)?
+
+## Workaround (Current)
+
+Agent can manually copy the completed work doc to `.ralph/` and output `<promise>COMPLETE</promise>` to trigger completion detection via the `agent_end` event handler, bypassing `ralph_done` entirely. This is what happened in the observed session.

+- (2026-01-25) W008: Nix rebuild successful. All agent locations populated. Old IAW skills remain in ~/.pi/agent/skills/ (cleanup in Phase 2)
+- (2026-01-25) W009: ~/.codex/skills/ already Nix-managed (symlinks to store)
+- (2026-01-25) W010: Removed manual intent/approach/work from ~/.pi/agent/skills/, cleaned up .backup files
+- (2026-01-25) W011: talu's .claude/skills/ are Nix symlinks via talu's flake — collision warnings are expected, not a bug
+- (2026-01-25) W012-W013: Rewrote deploy-skill.sh — now shows skill list config instead of copying files
+- (2026-01-25) W014: Verified intent/approach/work in ~/.claude/skills/, ralph-work-loop in ~/.pi/agent/skills/
+
+## Notes
+
+- Universal skills: worklog, screenshot-latest, orch, playwright-visit, code-review, ops-review, nix-review, hq, niri-window-capture, intent, approach, work

+commits: 14
+compression_status: uncompressed

+
+# Session Summary
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-18
+**Focus Area:** Designing a lightweight spec-driven planning framework for AI coding workflows
+
+# Accomplishments
+
+- [x] Researched existing spec-driven development tools (GitHub Spec-Kit, Amazon Kiro, Tessl, AGENTS.md)
+- [x] Researched traditional software engineering terminology (RFCs, ADRs, SRS, user stories)
+- [x] Created epic for spec-driven planning framework (skills-oh8m)
+- [x] Iterated from complex 9-task structure down to simple 3-task structure
+- [x] Synthesized terminology: Intent / Approach / Work (avoiding overloaded terms)
+- [x] Defined full and minimal templates for structured beads
+- [x] Closed duplicate issue (skills-0y9) that covered same ground
+- [x] Documented all research sources in epic for future reference
+
+# Key Decisions
+
+## Decision 1: Structure lives in bead issues, not separate files
+
+- **Context:** Spec-Kit and Kiro use separate spec files (.specs/, requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md)
+- **Options considered:**
+  1. Separate .specs/ directory with markdown files (like Spec-Kit)
+  2. Conversation flow only (AI phases through design→plan→tasks)
+  3. Structure in bead issue bodies with ## sections
+  4. Hybrid approach
+- **Rationale:** Beads already track work. Adding structure to bead bodies avoids tool proliferation while getting the benefits of phased planning.
+- **Impact:** Much simpler implementation - just conventions, no new CLI commands or file formats
+
+## Decision 2: Use "Intent / Approach / Work" terminology
+
+- **Context:** Industry terminology is fragmented:
+  - Spec-Kit: Specify → Plan → Tasks
+  - Kiro: Requirements → Design → Tasks
+  - Traditional: Requirements → Design → Implementation
+- **Options considered:**
+  1. Use Spec-Kit terms (Specify/Plan/Tasks)
+  2. Use Kiro terms (Requirements/Design/Tasks)
+  3. Synthesize new unambiguous terms
+- **Rationale:** "Design" is overloaded (visual vs technical), "Plan" vs "Design" unclear, "Spec" vs "Requirements" is style. Created new terms that map cleanly to the underlying concepts.
+- **Impact:** Clear terminology that doesn't carry baggage from other frameworks
+
+## Decision 3: Keep "Work" despite slight awkwardness
+
+- **Context:** "Work" as a noun for the tasks section felt slightly unusual
+- **Options considered:**
+  1. Tasks (industry standard but overloaded)
+  2. Steps (clear but implies linear)
+  3. Checklist (format not content)
+  4. Work (the actual concept)
+- **Rationale:** "Work" directly describes the concept - concrete work to be done. The slight awkwardness is worth the clarity.
+- **Impact:** Consistent terminology across all documentation
+
+# Problems & Solutions
+
+| Problem | Solution | Learning |
+|---------|----------|----------|
+| Initial design too complex (9 tasks, CLI commands, file format) | User feedback: "kinda what I like is a three phase design/plan/tasks for smaller things" | Start simple, add complexity only when needed |
+| Terminology divergence across sources | Deep research + synthesis into new terms | When standards conflict, synthesize rather than pick sides |
+| Duplicate issue (skills-0y9) existed from earlier work | Closed as superseded by new epic | Check for existing work before creating new issues |
+
+# Technical Details
+

+
+## Architecture Notes
+
+The framework follows a simple pattern:
+
+```
+Intent   →   Approach   →   Work
+(what)       (how)          (do)
+```
+
+**Full template** (for significant work):
+```markdown
+## Intent
+**Problem**: What's broken or missing
+**Solution**: High-level approach (not technical)
+**Constraints**: Requirements, limits, must-haves
+
+## Approach
+Technical approach, key decisions, trade-offs
+
+Files:
+- path/to/file.ts (change description)
+
+## Work
+- [ ] Step 1
+- [ ] Step 2
+```
+
+**Minimal template** (for smaller things):
+```markdown
+## Intent
+One-liner: what and why
+
+## Work
+- [ ] Step 1
+- [ ] Step 2
+```
+
+# Process and Workflow
+
+## What Worked Well
+
+- Starting with broad research before designing
+- User feedback driving simplification ("let's make it simpler")
+- Iterating on terminology with explicit comparison tables
+- Using beads to track the design work itself
+
+## What Was Challenging
+
+- Navigating divergent industry terminology
+- Resisting urge to add complexity (CLI commands, file formats)
+- Finding the right level of abstraction for terminology
+
+# Learning and Insights
+
+## Technical Insights
+
+- Spec-driven development is a major 2025 trend, emerging as counter to "vibe coding"
+- Key tools (Spec-Kit, Kiro, Tessl) all converge on similar phases but use different terms
+- AGENTS.md has become a de facto standard (60k+ projects, Linux Foundation stewardship)
+- The pattern Intent→Approach→Work maps cleanly to all existing frameworks
+
+## Process Insights
+
+- Terminology matters - overloaded terms create confusion
+- Simpler is usually better - structured bead bodies vs separate files
+- Research before design prevents reinventing wheels
+
+## Architectural Insights
+
+- Planning artifacts (specs) and tracking artifacts (beads) can be combined
+- Human checkpoints between phases are the key value, not the file format
+- The workflow is more important than the tooling
+
+# Context for Future Work
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- When is Approach section needed vs optional?
+- How detailed should Intent be for small tasks?
+- How to handle work items that grow into their own beads?
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Define Intent/Approach/Work workflow in detail (skills-ankb)
+- Create structured bead template with examples (skills-4ecn)
+- Write user documentation (skills-5xkg)
+
+## Related Work
+
+- [2026-01-10 Multi-Agent Lego Architecture Design](2026-01-10-multi-agent-lego-architecture-design.org) - earlier architecture work
+- [2026-01-11 HQ Architecture](2026-01-11-hq-architecture-orch-consensus-beads-cleanup.org) - beads workflow context
+- skills-vz05 - Agent Coordination epic (blocked by skills-0y9, now closed)
+
+# Raw Notes
+
+Key industry stats from research:
+- GitHub Spec-Kit: 40k+ stars since Aug 2025 launch
+- AGENTS.md: 60k+ OSS projects, Linux Foundation stewardship
+- 41% of code is AI-generated/assisted in 2025 (Stack Overflow survey)
+- 65% of developers use AI coding tools weekly
+
+Terminology mapping table that drove the synthesis:
+
+| Tool | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 | Phase 4 |
+|------|---------|---------|---------|---------|
+| Spec-Kit | Specify | Plan | Tasks | Implement |
+| Kiro | Requirements | Design | Tasks | (execute) |
+| Tessl | Spec | (inline) | (inline) | Generate |
+| SDLC | Requirements | Design | Implementation | Testing |
+| **Ours** | **Intent** | **Approach** | **Work** | (execute) |
+
+The Martin Fowler article was particularly valuable for comparing Kiro vs Spec-Kit vs Tessl side-by-side.

+commits: 0
+compression_status: uncompressed
+---
+
+# Session Summary
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-21 (Day 1 of project)
+**Focus Area:** Worker RPC orchestration, portable web skills, and cross-agent skill compatibility
+
+# Accomplishments
+
+- [x] Implemented `skills/hq/scripts/worker-rpc.py` and a simulation harness to validate RPC event handling.
+- [x] Added portable `brave-search` skill with auto-loading of `/run/secrets/api_keys/brave`.
+- [x] Ported `browser-tools` skill (CDP-based Chrome automation) distinct from Playwright.
+- [x] Created `handoff` skill to generate portable Markdown summaries across agents.
+- [x] Produced `docs/skill-compatibility.md` (top 10 skills audit).
+- [x] Drafted `specs/worker-message-bus.md` design spec for messaging + tmux observability.
+- [x] Updated flake skill registry and API key exports (BRAVE/KAGI).
+
+# Key Decisions
+
+## Decision 1: Focus on skills (not pi extensions)
+
+- **Context:** pi extensions are powerful but Pi-only; we need skills that work across Claude, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode.
+- **Options considered:**
+  1. Port pi extensions directly (TS)
+  2. Use portable skills + CLI tools
+- **Rationale:** Cross-agent portability wins; skills are the shared layer.
+- **Impact:** Future work (loop mode, oracle, etc.) will be implemented as skills or CLI utilities, not TS.
+
+## Decision 2: Brave search as web fallback
+
+- **Context:** Claude web tools may be unavailable or out of credits.
+- **Options considered:**
+  1. Keep Claude-only web skills
+  2. Add Brave API-based search
+  3. Add Kagi only
+- **Rationale:** Brave offers raw search results with minimal dependencies.
+- **Impact:** `brave-search` added; `web-research` now documents fallback strategy.
+
+# Problems & Solutions
+
+| Problem | Solution | Learning |
+|---------|----------|----------|
+| `brave-search` failed when `BRAVE_API_KEY` missing | Added fallback to `/run/secrets/api_keys/brave` in script | Prefer sops-backed defaults for skills |
+| `brave-search` not deployable via flake | Added skill to `skills.nix` and updated `flake.nix` API key exports | Flake registry must be kept in sync with skills/ |
+| Browser automation needs visible Chrome (not Playwright) | Ported `browser-tools` from pi-skills | CDP + profile copy covers authenticated workflows |
+
+# Technical Details
+
+## Code Changes
+
+- Total files modified: 21
+- Key files changed:
+  - `skills/hq/SKILL.md` - RPC event mapping + WIP limit
+  - `skills/brave-search/scripts/search.js` - API key fallback
+  - `skills/browser-tools/scripts/browser-*.js` - CDP automation suite
+  - `skills.nix` / `flake.nix` - skill registry + API key exports
+  - `docs/skill-compatibility.md` - audit matrix
+- New files created:
+  - `skills/brave-search/` (SKILL, README, scripts, package.json)
+  - `skills/browser-tools/` (SKILL, README, scripts, package.json)
+  - `skills/handoff/` (SKILL, README, scripts)
+  - `specs/worker-message-bus.md`
+- Files deleted:
+  - None
+
+## Commands Used
+
+```bash
+# Install brave-search deps and test
+cd skills/brave-search
+npm install
+node scripts/search.js "nix flakes" -n 1
+
+# Skill deployment test
+nix build ~/proj/skills#brave-search
+
+# Worklog metrics + filename
+skills/worklog/scripts/extract-metrics.sh
+skills/worklog/scripts/suggest-filename.sh
+```
+
+## Architecture Notes
+
+- The worker CLI already contains a schema-ready SQLite message bus; only CLI commands are missing.
+- `browser-tools` complements `playwright-visit` by enabling authenticated and interactive sessions.
+- Skill install is mediated by `.skills` manifests and `use-skills.sh` with Nix builds.
+
+# Process and Workflow
+
+## What Worked Well
+
+- Reusing pi-skills implementations for Brave and browser CDP tools reduced risk.
+- Rooting in skills rather than TS extensions kept portability high.
+- Early audit (`docs/skill-compatibility.md`) made gaps visible.
+
+## What Was Challenging
+
+- Synchronizing flake registry with new skills.
+- Navigating multiple agent ecosystems (pi vs Claude vs OpenCode).
+- Deciding how to represent runtime orchestration across tools.
+
+# Learning and Insights
+
+## Technical Insights
+
+- Pi skills are separate from pi-mono; extensions are Pi-only.
+- Brave search provides low-latency, API-driven results without browser overhead.
+- The worker bus schema is already adequate for structured inter-agent comms.
+
+## Process Insights
+
+- Keeping skills portable (bash + node + python) is the best compatibility strategy.
+- Central registry (`skills.nix`) is the single point of failure for deployability.
+
+## Architectural Insights
+
+- Messaging and observability should be CLI-driven, not skill-driven.
+- Review workflows (code-review, ops-review, spec-review) are portable but require a heavy toolchain.
+
+# Context for Future Work
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should `browser-tools` be added to `.skills` by default or remain opt-in?
+- How to structure log retention and pruning for worker message bus?
+- Do we need a standardized JSON schema for worker messages in v1?
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Implement `worker msg` CLI commands per `specs/worker-message-bus.md`.
+- Add `worker watch` tmux integration.
+- Expand skill compatibility audit beyond the top 10.
+- Update dotfiles system packages (Chromium + Node) via `dotfiles-scvr`.

+- Beads: `skills-29bp`, `skills-imei`, `skills-s5xl`, `skills-wxbs`, `skills-telx`, `dotfiles-scvr`
+
+# Raw Notes
+
+- Brave search default should not rely on Claude credits.
+- Pi extensions stay in dotfiles; skills remain in this repo.
+- `browser-tools` uses CDP with Chrome `:9222`, suitable for authenticated testing.

+compression_status: uncompressed
+---
+
+# Session Summary
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-21 (Day 21 of project)
+**Focus Area:** Ralph Wiggum loop integration for pi + LAN-only pi-web-ui prototype
+
+# Accomplishments
+
+- [x] Located and reviewed pi-specific Ralph Wiggum implementations (awesome-pi-agent, tmustier/pi-extensions).
+- [x] Forked Ralph Wiggum extension into the repo with Intent/Approach/Work dialect enforcement.
+- [x] Added project-local pi skill (`ralph-work-loop`) to start loops on existing Work docs.
+- [x] Ran a multi-lens code review on the extension and filed beads issues.
+- [x] Implemented fixes for archive safety, path confirmation, and init deduplication; marked SRP refactor as wontfix.
+- [x] Copied extension + skill to global pi directories for immediate use.
+- [x] Scaffolding for a LAN-only pi-web-ui prototype in `prototypes/pi-web-ui-lan`.
+- [x] Documented workflow + test plan in `docs/work/2026-01-21-lan-web-ui-prototype.md`.
+- [x] Resolved blank-screen errors by pinning to published npm versions and a valid model.
+- [x] Fixed Lit dev-mode class-field-shadowing error by forcing production condition resolution in Vite.
+
+# Key Decisions
+
+## Decision 1: Fork and adapt Ralph Wiggum instead of rewriting
+
+- **Context:** Needed pi-compatible Ralph loop with Intent/Approach/Work dialect.
+- **Options considered:**
+  1. Reimplement from scratch
+  2. Fork tmustier/pi-extensions and customize templates/prompts
+- **Rationale:** Forking provided stable loop mechanics and UI while allowing prompt/template customization.
+- **Impact:** Faster delivery with minimal behavioral drift.
+
+## Decision 2: Keep extension single-file (wontfix SRP)
+
+- **Context:** Code review flagged 802-line monolith.
+- **Options considered:**
+  1. Split into modules
+  2. Keep single file for now
+- **Rationale:** Low maintenance risk and fewer moving parts in early stage.
+- **Impact:** SRP refactor deferred; functionality fixes prioritized.
+
+## Decision 3: LAN prototype uses published npm packages
+
+- **Context:** pi packages on npm were at 0.49.3, not 1.37.x.
+- **Options considered:**
+  1. Use npm 0.49.3
+  2. Point to local pi-mono checkout
+- **Rationale:** LAN prototype should be quick to run; npm is simplest.
+- **Impact:** Updated prototype deps to 0.49.3 and selected valid model IDs.
+
+# Problems & Solutions
+
+| Problem | Solution | Learning |
+|---------|----------|----------|
+| Blank web UI at startup | Model ID mismatch caused boot failure | `getModel()` throws; use valid IDs from published package |
+| Lit class-field-shadowing error in dev | Forced Vite to resolve production conditions | Disable Lit dev bundle in Vite to avoid shadowing error |
+| pnpm install failed for pi 1.37.x | Switched to published 0.49.3 packages | Published npm versions lag internal tags |
+| `pnpm approve-builds` required | Manual approval for esbuild | Nix shell + pnpm still requires approval for build scripts |

+
+## Architecture Notes
+
+- Ralph Wiggum loop is packaged as a **pi extension** plus a **pi skill** wrapper for Work docs.
+- LAN prototype currently runs in **direct mode** (browser calls provider APIs), no repo access.
+- Next step for repo access: a lightweight RPC backend bridging to pi’s agent session.
+
+# Process and Workflow
+
+## What Worked Well
+
+- Reusing tmustier’s extension avoided rework and validated loop mechanics.
+- Pi skill wrapping made natural-language trigger feasible for Work docs.
+- Vite condition override resolved Lit dev error quickly.
+
+## What Was Challenging
+
+- pnpm approval flow is interactive under nix shell.
+- Published npm versions lagged internal pi tags.
+- LAN test still pending due to API key entry and phone access.
+
+# Learning and Insights
+
+## Technical Insights
+
+- Lit dev bundle throws class-field-shadowing errors under certain builds; forcing production conditions avoids it.
+- Published npm packages are much older than pi-mono tags; choose models accordingly.
+
+## Process Insights
+
+- Shipping a loop in pi is best done as extension + skill rather than only one or the other.
+- LAN-only prototype should stay minimal until the RPC bridge is designed.
+
+## Architectural Insights
+
+- Intent/Approach/Work dialect can be enforced in loop prompts without changing loop mechanics.
+- A future RPC bridge would allow filesystem exploration without exposing API keys to the browser.
+
+# Context for Future Work
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should LAN prototype add a lightweight RPC bridge to enable repo access?
+- Where should the nixian deploy live in dotfiles for pi extensions/skills?
+- Should we seed API keys from env for LAN-only use (risk of exposure)?
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Run LAN prototype end-to-end from phone (W003/W004 in work doc).
+- Decide if API key seeding from env is acceptable for local use.
+- If so, add optional `VITE_GOOGLE_API_KEY` seeding in `src/main.ts`.

+
+- Ralph Wiggum extension fork located under `.pi/extensions/ralph-wiggum/` in this repo.
+- Skill wrapper under `.pi/skills/ralph-work-loop/`.
+- LAN prototype shows API key prompt for Google when using `gemini-3-flash-preview`.
+- The UI now renders after Vite resolve conditions update.

+# Worker RPC, Web Skills, and Multi-Agent Audit
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-21
+**Author:** dan
+**Tags:** hq, worker, pi, brave-search, browser-tools, research
+
+## Intent
+- Upgrade **HQ worker orchestration** to support headless control via RPC.
+- Audit and expand **web research capabilities** to be agent-neutral (less Claude-dependent).
+- Investigate **pi-mono** patterns (extensions, messaging) for architectural alignment.
+- Prepare the ground for **Beads messaging** replacement and **tmux observability**.
+
+## Approach
+1. **Worker RPC**: Created `worker-rpc.py` to wrap the `pi` agent process, translating JSONL RPC events into semantic signals (`worker start`, `worker done`) for HQ monitoring.
+2. **Web Skills**: Created `brave-search` (portable API-based search) and `browser-tools` (interactive CDP automation) to reduce dependency on Claude's built-in web tool.
+3. **Audit**: Conducted a top-10 skill compatibility audit across 5 agents (Claude, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode, Pi).
+4. **Research**: Cloned and inspected `pi-mono`, `pi-skills`, and `awesome-pi-agent` to identify reusable patterns (state-in-session, extensions vs skills).
+5. **Planning**: Defined epics for "Runtime Control" and "Messaging/Observability" (skills-29bp).
+
+## Work
+
+### 1. HQ RPC Control Plane
+- Implemented `skills/hq/scripts/worker-rpc.py`.
+  - Wraps `pi --mode rpc`.
+  - Detects `worker done` bash commands via RPC events.
+  - Streams logs to stdout/stderr.
+- Added simulation test suite `skills/hq/test/run-simulation.sh`.
+- Updated `HQ/SKILL.md` with RPC event mapping and WIP limits (hard cap: 3).
+
+### 2. Portable Web Skills
+- **brave-search**:
+  - `scripts/search.js`: API query, supports `-n`, `--freshness`, `--content`.
+  - `scripts/content.js`: Readability/Turndown markdown extraction.
+  - Auto-loads key from `/run/secrets/api_keys/brave`.
+- **browser-tools**:
+  - Ported from `pi-skills`.
+  - Provides `browser-start.js` (Chrome :9222), `browser-nav.js`, `browser-pick.js` (interactive selector).
+- **handoff**:
+  - Created `skills/handoff/` for structured session summaries (git status, diffs, open questions).
+
+### 3. Skill System Updates
+- Updated `skills.nix` to include `brave-search`, `browser-tools`, `handoff`.
+- Updated `flake.nix` to expose `BRAVE_API_KEY` and `KAGI_API_KEY` to direnv environments.
+- Updated `docs/skill-compatibility.md` with the multi-agent audit results.
+
+### 4. Beads Tracking
+- Created Epic **skills-29bp**: "Worker runtime + observability research branches".
+- Created **skills-imei**: "Worker CLI: Implement Message Bus and Tmux Observability".
+- Created **skills-q8i0**: "Background launch mechanism".
+- Created **dotfiles-scvr**: System setup for new skills (Chromium/Node).
+
+## Refined Views
+- **Pi Extensions vs Skills**: Confirmed that TypeScript extensions are Pi-only. We will adopt their *patterns* (state-in-session, loop files) but implement them as portable CLI tools (like `worker` msg bus).
+- **Web Search**: Moving away from `claude -p` dependency toward `brave-search` allows Gemini/Codex to perform research reliably.
+- **Messaging**: The `worker` CLI's SQLite DB is already schema-ready for a message bus; we just need to expose `send/follow` commands.
+
+## Next Steps
+1. Implement `worker msg` commands (send, poll, follow) in Nim.
+2. Implement `worker watch` (tmux integration).
+3. Standardize logging for `tail -f` observability.

+commits: 0

+---
+
+# Session Summary
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-23
+**Focus Area:** Fixing ralph-wiggum extension iteration counter bug
+
+# Accomplishments
+
+- [x] Diagnosed root cause of iteration counter staying stuck at 1
+- [x] Fixed `ralph_done` tool to increment iteration before `hasPendingMessages()` check
+- [x] Applied code review findings (4 issues fixed)
+- [x] Closed issue skills-s984
+
+# Key Decisions
+
+## Decision 1: Always increment iteration, defer prompt delivery
+
+- **Context:** The `hasPendingMessages()` guard was blocking iteration increment entirely, causing counter to stay at 1
+- **Options considered:**
+  1. Remove the guard entirely - Risk of duplicate prompts
+  2. Increment first, only skip prompt delivery if pending - Counter accurate, prompts still controlled
+  3. Check for pending USER messages only - Would require API change
+  4. Use re-entry flag - More complex, doesn't solve root cause
+- **Rationale:** Option 2 keeps counter accurate while still preventing duplicate prompt delivery
+- **Impact:** Iteration counter now reflects actual progress; UI stays accurate; reflection checkpoints work
+
+## Decision 2: Move reflection calculation before pending check
+
+- **Context:** If reflection was due but pending messages blocked, reflection was skipped entirely (not deferred)
+- **Rationale:** Reflection state should be recorded regardless of prompt delivery
+- **Impact:** `lastReflectionAt` is now set even when prompt is deferred; message indicates "(reflection pending)"
+
+# Problems & Solutions
+
+| Problem | Solution | Learning |
+|---------|----------|----------|
+| `hasPendingMessages()` always true during normal operation | Move increment before the check, save state in both branches | Guards can block more than intended; order matters |
+| Reflection tracking skipped when prompt deferred | Calculate `needsReflection` before pending check, update `lastReflectionAt` in both paths | Side effects should happen before conditional returns |
+| Error message "not active" was ambiguous | Split into two checks: null state vs wrong status, with specific messages | Better error messages help debugging |
+| Magic expression `state.iteration - 1` repeated | Extract to `const completedIteration` | DRY applies to expressions too |
+
+# Technical Details
+
+## Code Changes
+
+- Total files modified: 1
+- Key files changed:
+  - `~/.pi/agent/extensions/ralph-wiggum/index.ts` - Fixed `ralph_done` tool execute function
+
+## Before (broken)
+
+```typescript
+if (ctx.hasPendingMessages()) {
+  return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "Pending messages already queued. Skipping ralph_done." }], details: {} };
+}
+
+// Increment iteration - NEVER REACHED when pending messages exist
+state.iteration++;
+```
+
+## After (fixed)
+
+```typescript
+// Always increment iteration to keep counter accurate
+state.iteration++;
+const completedIteration = state.iteration - 1;
+
+// Check max iterations before anything else
+if (state.maxIterations > 0 && state.iteration > state.maxIterations) {
+  completeLoop(ctx, state, ...);
+  return { ... };
+}
+
+// Calculate reflection status before pending check (so we don't skip it)
+const needsReflection = state.reflectEvery > 0 && completedIteration % state.reflectEvery === 0;
+if (needsReflection) state.lastReflectionAt = state.iteration;
+
+// If there are pending messages, record progress but skip prompt delivery
+if (ctx.hasPendingMessages()) {
+  saveState(ctx, state);
+  updateUI(ctx);
+  const reflectNote = needsReflection ? " (reflection pending)" : "";
+  return {
+    content: [{ type: "text", text: `Iteration ${completedIteration} complete.${reflectNote} Prompt deferred - pending messages.` }],
+    details: {},
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Code Review Findings Fixed
+
+1. **[ERROR] MED** - Split null/inactive state checks with specific error messages
+2. **[SMELL] LOW** - Extracted `completedIteration` constant
+3. **[SMELL] LOW** - Standardized message format ("complete" in both paths)
+4. **[STRUCTURAL]** - Moved reflection calculation before pending-messages check
+
+# Process and Workflow
+
+## What Worked Well
+
+- Issue had detailed bug report with root cause analysis already done (docs/work/2026-01-22-ralph-iteration-counter-bug.md)
+- Code review lenses caught additional issues beyond the primary fix
+- Fixing all issues in one pass
+
+## What Was Challenging
+
+- Extension not in git repo (deployed separately), couldn't easily diff changes
+- No TypeScript compiler readily available to validate syntax
+
+# Learning and Insights
+
+## Technical Insights
+
+- `ctx.hasPendingMessages()` returns true whenever tool responses are queued - essentially always during multi-tool agent operation
+- Guards that block early can prevent important state updates from happening
+- The order of operations matters: increment → check limits → calculate side effects → check guards → deliver
+
+## Architectural Insights
+
+- The "always save state, optionally defer prompt" pattern is cleaner than "guard blocks everything"
+- Error messages should distinguish between different failure modes
+
+# Context for Future Work
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should there be a mechanism to force prompt delivery even with pending messages?
+- Should deferred reflections trigger on the next non-deferred iteration?
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Test the fix in a real ralph loop session
+- Consider adding this pattern to pi extension documentation

+# Pi Web UI (LAN prototype)
+
+Minimal LAN-only web UI using `@mariozechner/pi-web-ui`.
+
+## Run (LAN)
+
+```bash
+cd /home/dan/proj/skills/prototypes/pi-web-ui-lan
+npm install
+npm run dev:lan
+```
+
+Vite will print a LAN URL (e.g., `http://192.168.1.20:5173`). Open it on your phone connected to the same Wi‑Fi.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Start the dev server (`npm run dev:lan`).
+2. Open the LAN URL on the phone.
+3. Open Settings → Manage API Keys and add your provider key.
+4. Chat in the UI.
+
+## Notes / Limitations
+
+- This prototype runs in **direct mode** (browser calls provider APIs directly).
+- It does **not** access the local filesystem or repo yet.
+- Next step for repo access: add a local RPC/agent backend and bridge it to the UI.

+# Approach Skill
+
+Define the **How** and the **Strategy**.
+
+This is the second step in the **Intent → Approach → Work** triad. It maps the problem (Intent) to a solution architecture before committing to code.
+
+## Philosophy
+
+A list of tasks without a strategy is just noise. Approach forces you to make the hard decisions - trade-offs, architecture, blast radius - before you start coding.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Intent is defined and confirmed
+- User asks "How should we build this?"
+- Before breaking work into tasks
+
+## The Process
+
+1. **Analyze the Intent** - Read `docs/intent/*.md`, identify the hard parts
+2. **Define the Strategy** - Architecture, trade-offs, risks
+3. **Document** - Create `docs/approach/<date>-<slug>.md`
+4. **Confirm** - Review with user before proceeding to Work
+
+## Output
+
+An **Approach Document** that guides the Work phase. High-level strategy, not step-by-step tasks.

+   - Create file: `docs/approach/<date>-<slug>.md`
+   - Use the template below.
+
+4. **Confirm with User**:
+   - Review the strategy before proceeding to Work.
+
+## The Template
+
+```markdown
+# Approach: [Title]
+
+## Strategy
+The core technical philosophy for this work.
+
+**Key Decisions**:
+- Decision 1: [Option A vs Option B] → [Choice] because [Reason]
+- Decision 2: [...]
+
+## Architecture
+- **New Components**: [List]
+- **Modified Components**: [List]
+- **Data Model Changes**: [If any]
+
+## Risks
+- **Known Unknowns**: What are we unsure about?
+- **Failure Modes**: How could this break?
+- **Blast Radius**: What else might be affected?
+
+## Phases (High Level)
+1. **Phase 1**: [Theme/goal]
+2. **Phase 2**: [Theme/goal]
+```
+
+## Rules
+
+- **No Step-by-Step Tasks**: Don't write "Step 1: Create file X". That belongs in **Work**.
+- **Stay High-Level**: Approach maps Intent to Work. It's strategy, not tactics.
+- **Make Trade-offs Explicit**: Every decision has a cost. Name it.

+# brave-search
+
+Web search and content extraction via the Brave Search API. Intended as a fallback when Claude web tools are unavailable.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Register for a Brave Search API key: https://api-dashboard.search.brave.com/register
+2. Create a "Free AI" subscription.
+3. Export your API key:
+
+```bash
+export BRAVE_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+# Or use /run/secrets/api_keys/brave
+```
+
+4. Install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+cd skills/brave-search
+npm install
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Search the web:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/search.js "your query"
+./scripts/search.js "your query" -n 10 --content
+./scripts/search.js "your query" --country DE --freshness pw
+```
+
+Extract readable content from a URL:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/content.js https://example.com/article
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Node 18+ provides `fetch` used by the scripts.
+- `--content` fetches and converts readable HTML to markdown using Readability + Turndown.
+- API key can be sourced from `/run/secrets/api_keys/brave` if set by sops.

+description: Web search and content extraction via Brave Search API. Use for searching documentation, facts, or web content without relying on Claude web tools.
+---
+
+# Brave Search
+
+Web search and content extraction using the Brave Search API. This is a backup when Claude web search is unavailable or quota-limited.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- "Search the web for [topic]" when Claude web tools are unavailable
+- "Find documentation for [library]"
+- "Look up facts about [subject]"
+- "Get a summary of [site]"
+
+## Process
+
+1. Confirm `BRAVE_API_KEY` is set.
+2. Run `npm install` in this skill directory (first time only).
+3. Use `search.js` for search results, optionally with `--content` for markdown extraction.
+4. Use `content.js` to fetch a specific URL.
+
+## Helper Scripts
+
+### search.js
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+./scripts/search.js "query" [-n <num>] [--content] [--country <code>] [--freshness <period>]
+```
+
+**Examples**:
+```bash
+./scripts/search.js "rust async best practices"
+./scripts/search.js "nixos enable pipewire" -n 10
+./scripts/search.js "nix flakes" --content
+./scripts/search.js "postgres 16 release notes" --freshness pw
+```
+
+**Options**:
+- `-n <num>`: Number of results (default 5, max 20)
+- `--content`: Fetch readable content as markdown
+- `--country <code>`: Two-letter country code (default: US)
+- `--freshness <period>`: Filter by time (pd, pw, pm, py, or `YYYY-MM-DDtoYYYY-MM-DD`)
+
+### content.js
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+./scripts/content.js <url>
+```
+
+**Example**:
+```bash
+./scripts/content.js https://example.com/article
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js 18+
+- `npm install` in `skills/brave-search/`
+- `BRAVE_API_KEY` environment variable **or** `/run/secrets/api_keys/brave`
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- If `BRAVE_API_KEY` is missing, the scripts exit with an error and setup URL.
+- If content extraction fails, a fallback extraction attempts to return readable text.

+# browser-tools
+
+Interactive Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) helpers for visible browser automation. Designed for authenticated sessions and JS-heavy pages.
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+cd skills/browser-tools
+npm install
+```
+
+## Start Chrome/Chromium
+
+```bash
+./scripts/browser-start.js
+./scripts/browser-start.js --profile
+```
+
+Optional environment variables:
+- `BROWSER_TOOLS_CHROME`: Explicit path to Chrome/Chromium binary.
+- `BROWSER_TOOLS_PROFILE`: Explicit profile directory to copy when using `--profile`.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+./scripts/browser-nav.js https://example.com
+./scripts/browser-eval.js "document.title"
+./scripts/browser-screenshot.js
+./scripts/browser-pick.js "Click the submit button"
+./scripts/browser-cookies.js
+./scripts/browser-content.js https://example.com
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Uses Chrome remote debugging on `:9222`.
+- `--profile` copies your local Chrome/Chromium profile so authenticated sessions work.
+- For headless automation, use `playwright-visit` instead.

+name: browser-tools
+description: Interactive browser automation via Chrome DevTools Protocol. Use when you need visible browser interaction, authenticated sessions, or JS-heavy pages.
+---
+
+# Browser Tools
+
+Chrome DevTools Protocol tools for agent-assisted web automation. These tools connect to Chrome/Chromium running on `:9222` with remote debugging enabled.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Testing frontend code in a real browser
+- Interacting with pages that require JavaScript
+- When user needs to visually see or interact with a page
+- Debugging authentication or session issues
+- Scraping dynamic content that requires JS execution
+
+## Setup
+
+Run once before first use:
+
+```bash
+cd {baseDir}/browser-tools
+npm install
+```
+
+## Start Chrome/Chromium
+
+```bash
+{baseDir}/browser-start.js              # Fresh profile
+{baseDir}/browser-start.js --profile    # Copy user's profile (cookies, logins)
+```
+
+Optional environment variables:
+- `BROWSER_TOOLS_CHROME`: Explicit path to Chrome/Chromium binary.
+- `BROWSER_TOOLS_PROFILE`: Explicit profile directory to copy when using `--profile`.
+
+Defaults (Linux/NixOS):
+- Chromium path: `/run/current-system/sw/bin/chromium` (if available)
+- Profile: `~/.config/google-chrome` or `~/.config/chromium`
+
+## Navigate
+
+```bash
+{baseDir}/browser-nav.js https://example.com
+{baseDir}/browser-nav.js https://example.com --new
+```
+
+## Evaluate JavaScript
+
+```bash
+{baseDir}/browser-eval.js 'document.title'
+{baseDir}/browser-eval.js 'document.querySelectorAll("a").length'
+```
+
+## Screenshot
+
+```bash
+{baseDir}/browser-screenshot.js
+```
+
+## Pick Elements
+
+```bash
+{baseDir}/browser-pick.js "Click the submit button"
+```
+
+Use this tool when the user wants to select specific DOM elements on the page. It launches an interactive picker and returns CSS selector hints.
+
+## Cookies
+
+```bash
+{baseDir}/browser-cookies.js
+```
+
+## Extract Page Content
+
+```bash
+{baseDir}/browser-content.js https://example.com
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js 18+
+- Chrome/Chromium installed (or provide `BROWSER_TOOLS_CHROME`)
+- `npm install` in `skills/browser-tools/`

+# Lens: Defense-in-Depth
+
+Analyze the code for "Structural Impossibility" of bugs. Look for validation at every layer data passes through.
+
+## The 4 Layers of Validation
+
+Check if the code implements validation at these 4 layers. **Flag missing layers as issues.**
+
+### 1. Entry Point Validation
+*   **Check:** Does the public API/CLI/Controller reject invalid input immediately?
+*   **Flag:** Functions that assume input is valid because "the UI checks it" or "the caller checks it".
+*   **Fix:** Add schemas (Zod/Pydantic) or explicit guards at the boundary.
+
+### 2. Business Logic Validation
+*   **Check:** Does the core domain logic ensure state consistency?
+*   **Flag:** Operations that could put entities into invalid states if called directly (bypassing controllers).
+*   **Fix:** Invariants in the domain model / entity classes.
+
+### 3. Environment Guards (Safety)
+*   **Check:** Are destructive operations checked against the environment?
+*   **Flag:** `dropDatabase()`, `rm -rf`, or mass-email logic that runs without checking `NODE_ENV` or `PROD` flags.
+*   **Fix:** Explicit checks: `if (isProd && !force) throw Error(...)`.
+
+### 4. Debug Instrumentation (Forensics)
+*   **Check:** When things fail, is there enough context to know *why*?
+*   **Flag:** `catch (e) { return null }` (Swallowed errors).
+*   **Fix:** Log the stack, inputs, and context before handling.
+
+## Structural Redundancy
+
+*   **Principle:** "The bug should be structurally impossible."
+*   **Flag:** Any code where a single bug in a caller could cause data corruption in the callee.
+*   **Fix:** "Trust but verify" - validate inputs even in internal private methods if the consequence is high.

+# Lens: Property-Based Testing (PBT)
+
+Analyze the code for logic that is better tested with properties (invariants) than examples.
+
+## Candidate Identification
+
+Look for these patterns. If found, suggest PBT instead of (or in addition to) example tests.
+
+### 1. Roundtrip Candidates (Serialization)
+*   **Pattern:** `encode`/`decode`, `toJSON`/`fromJSON`, `serialize`/`deserialize`.
+*   **Property:** `decode(encode(x)) == x`.
+*   **Suggestion:** "This serialization logic should be fuzz-tested with a Roundtrip property to catch edge cases."
+
+### 2. Idempotence Candidates (Normalization)
+*   **Pattern:** `sanitize(text)`, `format(code)`, `sort(list)`.
+*   **Property:** `f(f(x)) == f(x)`.
+*   **Suggestion:** "This normalizer should be idempotent. Running it twice should yield the same result."
+
+### 3. Invariant Candidates (Transformations)
+*   **Pattern:** Complex state transitions (e.g., "User balance transfer").
+*   **Property:** "Total system balance remains constant" (A + B = Total).
+*   **Suggestion:** "Verify that the sum of balances is invariant across this transaction."
+
+### 4. Validity Candidates
+*   **Pattern:** `User.create(input)`.
+*   **Property:** `isValid(User.create(validInput)) == true`.
+*   **Suggestion:** "Fuzz test the constructor to ensure it never accepts invalid input or crashes."
+
+## When to Suggest PBT
+*   **Parsers:** JSON, XML, custom protocols.
+*   **Algorithm:** Sorting, searching, diffing.
+*   **Data Structures:** Trees, graphs, custom collections.
+*   **Conversion:** Currency, time, units.
+
+**Do NOT Suggest PBT for:**
+*   Simple CRUD methods.
+*   UI components.
+*   Functions with heavy side effects (DB, Network).

+
+# Handoff
+
+Create a portable handoff summary that captures current state, context, and next steps for another agent or future session.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- "Create a handoff"
+- "Summarize this for another agent"
+- "I need to pause and resume later"
+- "Write a context handoff"
+
+## Process
+
+1. Run the helper script to generate a structured summary.
+2. Add or edit the **Goal**, **Open Questions**, and **Next Steps** sections.
+3. Paste the output into the new session or share with another agent.
+
+## Helper Scripts
+
+### handoff.sh
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+./scripts/handoff.sh --goal "Short goal description" --output /tmp/handoff.md

+## RPC Event Mapping
+
+When using the `worker-rpc.py` control plane, low-level RPC events are mapped to HQ concepts as follows:
+
+| RPC Event | Field Check | HQ Signal | Meaning |
+|-----------|-------------|-----------|---------|
+| `agent_start` | - | `worker_busy` | Agent has started processing |
+| `agent_end` | - | `worker_idle` | Agent finished turn (waiting for input) |
+| `tool_execution_start` | `toolName="bash"` | `exec:{command}` | Agent running shell command |
+| `tool_execution_start` | `args.command="worker done"` | `signal:done` | Agent signaling completion |
+| `tool_execution_start` | `args.command="worker start"` | `signal:start` | Agent signaling start |
+| `auto_retry_start` | - | `warning:retry` | Transient error (API overloaded) |
+| `extension_error` | - | `error:extension` | System error in worker environment |
+
+The `worker-rpc.py` script emits these signals to stderr/logs for the HQ agent to monitor.

+1. **WIP limits**: **Hard cap of 3 concurrent workers**. This keeps API costs and system resources in check.
+2. **Definition of Done**: Enforced by the `review-gate` skill (if active) and HQ's final judgment.
+3. **Deadlocks**: HQ does not solve deadlocks. Escalate to human immediately.
+
 ## Open Questions
 
-HQ-specific questions (other concerns delegated to appropriate layers):
+1. **Cost Tracking**: How to attribute token costs per worker/task? (Currently aggregate).
-
-1. **WIP limits** - How many concurrent workers before HQ becomes bottleneck? Likely budget/cost constraint.
-
-2. **Human checkpoints** - When does HQ pause for human vs continue? Currently via stop hooks and review-gate.
-
-3. **Definition of Done** - Per-issue-type checklists? How prescriptive should HQ be?
-
-4. **Dependency scoping** - How to detect cross-cutting work that shouldn't parallelize?
 
 **Delegated to other layers (see respective issues):**
 - Worker launch mechanism → worker CLI (skills-q8i0)

+This script wraps the 'pi' RPC interface to provide a headless control plane
+for worker agents. It handles:
+1. Launching the agent in the correct worktree
+2. Sending the initial system prompt/task
+3. Streaming events to stdout (for HQ monitoring)
+4. detecting task completion signals

+# Intent Skill
+
+Capture the **Why** before the **How**.
+
+This is the first step in the **Intent → Approach → Work** triad. It ensures you understand the motivation, need, and use-cases deeply before jumping to solutions.
+
+## Philosophy
+
+Most projects fail because the intent was misunderstood, not because the code was bad. This skill creates a deliberate pause: interrogate the request until you have enough context to proceed confidently.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Starting a new feature or project
+- Vague or open-ended requests
+- User says "I want to build X" without explaining why
+- Before any significant implementation work
+
+## The Process
+
+1. **Interrogate** - Ask clarifying questions until you understand:
+   - What problem are we solving?
+   - Who has this problem? When?
+   - What does success look like?
+   - What are the constraints and non-goals?
+
+2. **Document** - Create `docs/intent/<date>-<slug>.md` with:
+   - Motivation (why this matters)
+   - Need (the underlying problem)
+   - Use-cases (concrete scenarios)
+   - Constraints and anti-goals
+
+3. **Confirm** - Review with user before proceeding to Approach
+
+## Output
+
+An **Intent Document** that serves as the foundation for the Approach phase. No implementation details - stay in the problem space.

+# Intent (The Why)
+
+## Philosophy
+
+You are not a "Requirements Gatherer." You are an **Intent Analyst**.
+
+Your job is to interrogate the request until you deeply understand the motivation, need, and use-cases. Don't infer - ask.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- User says "I want to build X"
+- User says "Let's start a new feature"
+- User has a vague idea
+- Before any significant implementation work
+
+## The Process
+
+1. **Interrogate the Request**:
+   - What problem are we solving?
+   - Who has this problem? When does it occur?
+   - What does success look like?
+   - What are the constraints?
+   - What are we explicitly NOT doing?
+
+2. **Draft the Intent Document**:
+   - Create file: `docs/intent/<date>-<slug>.md`
+   - Use the template below.
+
+3. **Confirm with User**:
+   - "Does this capture the intent?" 
+   - Iterate until they say yes.
+
+## The Template
+
+```markdown
+# Intent: [Title]
+
+## Motivation
+Why does this matter? What's driving the request?
+
+## Need
+The underlying problem we're solving.
+
+## Use-Cases
+Concrete scenarios where this problem occurs:
+- Scenario 1: [Who, what, when, why it's painful]
+- Scenario 2: [...]
+
+## Success Criteria
+What does "done" look like? How will we know it's working?
+
+## Constraints
+Hard limits we must work within.
+
+## Anti-Goals
+What are we explicitly NOT doing? (Crucial for scope)
+```
+
+## Rules
+
+- **No Implementation Details**: If you find yourself writing "Use React" or "Create class X", STOP. That belongs in **Approach**.
+- **Stay in Problem Space**: Intent describes the problem. Approach describes the solution.
+- **Ask, Don't Assume**: If you're unsure, ask another clarifying question.

+# Nix Review Lenses
+
+This document describes the recommended format for Nix review lenses stored in `~/.config/lenses/nix/`.
+
+## Lens File Layout
+
+Each lens is a Markdown file named after the lens (e.g., `determinism.md`). Keep lenses focused, actionable, and low-noise.
+
+**Recommended sections:**
+
+1. **Purpose**
+   - What the lens checks and why it matters.
+
+2. **Checks**
+   - Bullet list of specific patterns or rules.
+   - Keep checks concrete (e.g., “`import <nixpkgs>` in flake-based repos”).
+
+3. **Severity Guidance**
+   - Map checks to default severities (HIGH/MED/LOW).
+
+4. **Examples**
+   - Brief “bad” and “good” snippets.
+
+## Finding Format
+
+Findings should use the standard format:
+```
+[TAG] <severity:HIGH|MED|LOW> <file:line>
+Issue: <what’s wrong>
+Suggest: <how to fix>
+Evidence: <why it matters>
+```
+
+## Lens Tags
+
+Use a stable, uppercase tag per lens (e.g., `DETERMINISM`, `SECRETS`, `MODULE-SAFETY`).
+
+## Suggested Lens List
+
+Phase 1:
+- determinism
+- secrets
+- closure-hygiene
+
+Phase 2:
+- flake-hygiene
+- module-safety
+- systemd-hardening
+
+Phase 3:
+- derivation-diff
+- closure-impact
+- supply-chain
+
+## Tips
+
+- Prefer explicit, actionable checks over style opinions.
+- Avoid duplicate checks across lenses; rely on root-cause grouping instead.
+- Keep severity consistent to reduce alert fatigue.

+# Nix Review Skill
+
+Nix-focused infrastructure review for flakes, NixOS/Home Manager modules, overlays, and packaging. Linter-first (statix/deadnix/format) plus optional deep lenses for derivation diffs, closure impact, and supply-chain scanning.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+**Claude Code / OpenCode:**
+The agent will invoke this skill when you ask to review Nix configs.
+
+**Manual invocation:**
+```
+/nix-review
+/nix-review path/to/module.nix
+/nix-review --eval
+/nix-review --quick
+/nix-review --deep
+```
+
+## What It Does
+
+- Runs Nix linting and unused-binding checks (statix/deadnix)
+- Runs formatter check only when the repo declares one (treefmt, flake formatter, or `nix fmt`)
+- Runs `nix flake check` when `flake.nix`/`flake.lock` changed or with `--eval` (may build; skip with `--quick`)
+- Runs secrets pre-check before any eval; skips eval if a potential secret is detected
+- If NixOS modules changed, prompts for `nixosConfigurations` to evaluate (or uses `NIX_REVIEW_TARGETS`)
+- Applies Nix-specific lenses (determinism, secrets, module safety, strict flake hygiene)
+- Optionally runs deep analysis (nix-diff/nvd, closure impact, sbomnix+grype)
+- Summarizes findings (grouped by root cause) and asks which to file as issues (default: file all non-lint)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `nix` CLI
+- `statix`
+- `deadnix`
+- Nix formatter installed if the repo declares one
+- Optional deep tools: `nix-diff`, `nvd`, `sbomnix`, `grype`, `nix-tree`
+
+## Example Usage
+
+### Scenario: Default review with eval
+**User request:**
+```
+/nix-review
+```
+**Agent actions:**
+1. Collects changed Nix files
+2. Runs statix/deadnix/formatter checks
+3. Runs `nix flake check` if `flake.nix`/`flake.lock` changed or `--eval` is set
+4. If NixOS modules changed, prompts for `nixosConfigurations` (or uses `NIX_REVIEW_TARGETS`)
+5. Applies Phase 1–2 lenses
+6. Summarizes findings and asks what to file
+
+### Scenario: Quick lint-only review
+**User request:**
+```
+/nix-review --quick
+```
+**Agent actions:**
+1. Collects changed Nix files
+2. Runs statix/deadnix/formatter checks
+3. Skips `nix flake check`
+4. Applies Phase 1–2 lenses
+5. Summarizes findings and asks what to file
+
+### Scenario: Deep supply-chain + impact analysis
+**User request:**
+```
+/nix-review --deep
+```
+**Agent actions:**
+1. Runs default lint checks
+2. Adds derivation diff + closure impact
+3. Generates SBOM and scans with grype
+4. Summarizes findings (all severities) and asks what to file
+
+**Note:** Closure impact runs when `flake.lock` changes; it will prompt before running unless `--deep` is set.
+
+## Configuration
+
+No configuration required by default. Lenses are loaded from:
+```
+~/.config/lenses/nix/
+```
+
+Starter lens templates are available in:
+```
+skills/nix-review/lenses/
+```
+
+### Optional repo config: `.nix-review.toml`
+```toml
+formatter = "alejandra"           # or "nixfmt-rfc-style"
+eval = "auto"                    # auto|always|never
+closure_impact = "auto"           # auto|always|never
+issue_filing = "non-lint"         # all|non-lint|high-only
+nixos_targets = ["nixosConfigurations.laptop", "nixosConfigurations.server"]
+```
+
+Notes:
+- `eval = auto` runs `nix flake check` when `flake.nix` or `flake.lock` changes.
+- `closure_impact = auto` runs when `flake.lock` changes (prompts unless `--deep`).
+- `nixos_targets` overrides `NIX_REVIEW_TARGETS` and avoids prompts.
+- Precedence: CLI flags > `.nix-review.toml` > environment variables.
+
+Optional: set `NIX_REVIEW_TARGETS` to a comma-separated list of `nixosConfigurations` to evaluate (avoids prompts).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: Missing tool errors
+**Cause:** Tool not installed or not in PATH.
+**Solution:** The review skips missing tools and reports a warning. Install via nix or system package manager for full coverage.
+
+### Problem: Deep scan is slow
+**Cause:** sbomnix/grype or closure diff can be expensive.
+**Solution:** Run without `--deep` or narrow the target path.

+name: nix-review
+description: Nix-focused infrastructure review. Linter-first workflow for flakes, NixOS modules, packages, and Nix CI with eval-aware lenses and actionable fixes.
+---
+
+# Nix Review Skill
+
+Run a Nix-specific review across flakes, NixOS/Home Manager modules, overlays, and packaging. Uses a linter-first approach, then applies Nix-centric lenses with optional evaluation checks. Findings are summarized and presented for approval before filing issues.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Invoke this skill when the user requests:
+- "Review my Nix configs"
+- "Check my flake for issues"
+- "Audit NixOS modules"
+- "Run nix review"
+- `/nix-review`
+
+## Arguments
+
+- `/nix-review` - Runs Phase 1–2 lenses; runs `nix flake check` if `flake.nix` or `flake.lock` changed
+- `/nix-review path/` - Targets a file or directory
+- `/nix-review --eval` - Forces `nix flake check`
+- `/nix-review --quick` - Skips eval steps (even if `flake.lock` changed)
+- `/nix-review --deep` - Includes Phase 3 lenses (derivation diff, closure impact, supply-chain scan)
+
+## Scope
+
+**Primary targets**
+- `*.nix`, `flake.nix`, `flake.lock`
+- NixOS/Home Manager modules
+- Nix packaging (pkgs/, overlays)
+- Flake check/eval workflows
+- Secrets management (`sops-nix`, `agenix`)
+
+**Default target**
+- Git diff of uncommitted changes, unless a file/dir is specified
+
+## Process
+
+1. **Target Selection**
+   - Parse optional target; default to git diff
+   - Confirm scope if >10 files
+
+2. **Static Tools (Linter-First)**
+   - `statix check` (lint)
+   - `deadnix --fail` (unused bindings)
+   - Formatter check only when repo config exists (treefmt, `nix fmt`, or flake formatter)
+
+3. **Secrets Pre-Check**
+   - Run `secrets` lens before any eval
+   - If a potential secret is detected, warn and skip eval steps
+
+4. **Eval Checks (Default)**
+   - Run `nix flake check` when `flake.nix` or `flake.lock` changed, or when `--eval` is set (may build; use `--quick` to skip)
+   - Skip with `--quick`
+   - Optional: `nix flake metadata` / `nix flake show --json`
+   - Optional: targeted `nix eval` for critical outputs
+   - When NixOS modules change, evaluate selected `nixosConfigurations` (prompt to choose, or use `NIX_REVIEW_TARGETS`)
+
+5. **Lens Execution**
+   - Apply Phase 1–2 lenses by default (skip lens steps if lens directory is missing)
+   - Apply Phase 3 lenses when `--deep` is set
+   - Also run closure-impact when `flake.lock` changes (prompt before running unless `--deep`)
+   - Collect findings in standard format
+
+6. **Synthesis + Review**
+   - Deduplicate and rank findings (group by root cause)
+   - Show summary + top issues
+   - Ask which findings to file (default recommendation: file all non-lint findings)
+
+## Available Lenses
+
+Lenses live in `~/.config/lenses/nix/`.
+
+### Phase 1: Core Safety (Fast)
+
+| Lens | Focus |
+|------|-------|
+| `determinism.md` | Unpinned fetchers, `import <nixpkgs>`, impure builtins (`getEnv`, `currentTime`) |
+| `secrets.md` | Secrets embedded in Nix store or configs; sops/agenix misuse |
+| `closure-hygiene.md` | Runtime vs build inputs, obvious bloat patterns |
+
+### Phase 2: Reliability
+
+| Lens | Focus |
+|------|-------|
+| `flake-hygiene.md` | Strict governance: duplicate inputs, missing `follows`, stale lockfiles |
+| `module-safety.md` | Risky defaults, missing `mkIf`, missing assertions (pair with targeted eval) |
+| `systemd-hardening.md` | Root services, missing hardening knobs |
+
+### Phase 3: Architecture / Impact
+
+| Lens | Focus |
+|------|-------|
+| `derivation-diff.md` | `nix-diff`/`nvd` explain what actually changed |
+| `closure-impact.md` | Closure size deltas and dependency attribution (runs on `--deep` or when `flake.lock` changes) |
+| `supply-chain.md` | Vulnerability scanning (sbomnix + grype) and input provenance |
+
+## Static Tools
+
+- **Lint**: `statix`
+- **Unused**: `deadnix`
+- **Format**: run only when repo declares formatter (treefmt/flake formatter/`nix fmt`)
+- **Optional**: `flake-checker`, `nix-diff`, `nvd`, `sbomnix`, `grype`, `nix-tree`, `nix-du`
+
+## Output
+
+1. **Console summary** of findings by severity
+2. **Interactive prompt** for issue filing (default: file all non-lint findings; lint findings recommend fix/skip)
+3. **Beads issues** (if approved)
+4. **Lens provenance** (note custom lenses if applicable)
+
+## Auto-Fix Policy
+
+No automatic fixes. Provide suggested commands for safe fixes (formatting, deadnix/statix).
+
+## Configuration
+
+Optional repo config file: `.nix-review.toml` (repo root).
+
+```toml
+# Example .nix-review.toml
+formatter = "alejandra"           # or "nixfmt-rfc-style"
+eval = "auto"                    # auto|always|never
+closure_impact = "auto"           # auto|always|never
+issue_filing = "non-lint"         # all|non-lint|high-only
+nixos_targets = ["nixosConfigurations.laptop", "nixosConfigurations.server"]
+```
+
+Notes:
+- `eval = auto` runs `nix flake check` when `flake.nix` or `flake.lock` changes.
+- `closure_impact = auto` runs when `flake.lock` changes (prompts unless `--deep`).
+- `nixos_targets` overrides `NIX_REVIEW_TARGETS` and avoids prompts.
+- Precedence: CLI flags > `.nix-review.toml` > environment variables.
+
+## Lens Documentation
+
+Lens files live in `~/.config/lenses/nix/`. Starter templates are in `skills/nix-review/lenses/`. See `skills/nix-review/LENSES.md` for the lens format and guidance.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- `statix`, `deadnix`, and a Nix formatter installed when the repo declares one
+- `nix` CLI available
+- Optional: `flake-checker`, `nix-diff`, `nvd`, `sbomnix`, `grype`, `nix-tree`
+
+Tooling notes:
+- Missing tools are skipped with a warning; the review continues with available checks.

+# nix-security-scan
+
+Scan Nix flakes for known CVEs using SBOM generation and vulnerability scanning.
+
+## Installation
+
+The skill requires these tools (all in nixpkgs):
+
+```bash
+nix-shell -p sbomnix grype jq
+```
+
+Or add to your system packages.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Scan current project
+./scripts/scan-one.sh .
+
+# Scan a specific flake  
+./scripts/scan-one.sh ~/proj/dotfiles
+
+# For NixOS, specify the full system path
+./scripts/scan-one.sh "~/proj/dotfiles#nixosConfigurations.hostname.config.system.build.toplevel"
+
+# Scan all projects in a directory
+./scripts/scan-flakes.sh
+```
+
+## How it works
+
+1. **Generate SBOM** - Uses `sbomnix` to create a CycloneDX bill of materials from Nix store paths
+2. **Scan for CVEs** - Uses `grype` to match packages against vulnerability databases
+3. **Report** - Generates summary with critical/high vulnerabilities
+
+## Example output
+
+```
+=== Results ===
+Total vulnerabilities: 174
+  Critical: 12
+  High: 68
+  Medium: 83
+  Low: 11
+
+=== Critical/High Details ===
+Critical  CVE-2024-5197   libvpx 1.12.0
+Critical  CVE-2025-48174  libavif 0.9.3
+High      CVE-2025-66476  vim 9.1.1918
+...
+```
+
+## Fixing issues
+
+Most vulnerabilities can be fixed by updating nixpkgs:
+
+```bash
+nix flake update nixpkgs
+sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .
+```
+
+See SKILL.md for advanced options (overlays, patches).

+
+# Nix Security Scan
+
+Scan Nix flakes for known security vulnerabilities using sbomnix + grype.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- Daily automated security monitoring
+- Before deploying a NixOS configuration
+- After updating flake.lock to verify fixes
+- When auditing a project's dependencies
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `sbomnix` - SBOM generator for Nix
+- `grype` - Vulnerability scanner
+- `jq` - JSON processing
+
+All available via `nix-shell -p sbomnix grype jq` or in nixpkgs.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Scan a single project
+
+```bash
+# Scan current directory's flake
+./scripts/scan-one.sh .
+
+# Scan a specific flake
+./scripts/scan-one.sh ~/proj/dotfiles
+
+# For NixOS configs, specify the full path
+./scripts/scan-one.sh ~/proj/dotfiles#nixosConfigurations.hostname.config.system.build.toplevel
+```
+
+### Scan all projects
+
+```bash
+# Scan all flakes in ~/proj
+./scripts/scan-flakes.sh
+
+# Customize
+PROJECTS_DIR=~/work NOTIFY=false ./scripts/scan-flakes.sh
+```
+
+## Understanding Results
+
+### What gets scanned
+
+- **Runtime dependencies** - packages that end up in the final closure
+- **Not buildtime** - compilers, build tools are excluded by default
+
+### Severity levels
+
+| Severity | Action |
+|----------|--------|
+| Critical | Address immediately |
+| High | Address soon |
+| Medium | Monitor, address when convenient |
+| Low | Informational |
+
+### Common false positives
+
+- **shellcheck CVE-2021-28794** - VSCode extension vulnerability, not the CLI
+- **Ancient mujs CVEs** - Often disputed or not applicable
+- **Version mismatches** - Scanner may not recognize Nix-patched versions
+
+## Fixing Vulnerabilities
+
+### Option 1: Update nixpkgs (easiest)
+
+```bash
+cd ~/proj/your-flake
+nix flake update nixpkgs
+# Then rebuild to apply
+```
+
+### Option 2: Override specific package
+
+```nix
+# In your flake.nix or overlay
+{
+  nixpkgs.overlays = [
+    (final: prev: {
+      libfoo = prev.libfoo.overrideAttrs (old: {
+        version = "1.2.3";
+        src = prev.fetchurl { ... };
+      });
+    })
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+### Option 3: Apply patch
+
+```nix
+{
+  nixpkgs.overlays = [
+    (final: prev: {
+      libfoo = prev.libfoo.overrideAttrs (old: {
+        patches = (old.patches or []) ++ [
+          (prev.fetchpatch {
+            url = "https://github.com/.../commit/abc123.patch";
+            hash = "sha256-...";
+          })
+        ];
+      });
+    })
+  ];
+}
+```
+
+## Automation
+
+### systemd timer (recommended)
+
+Add to your NixOS or home-manager config:
+
+```nix
+systemd.user.services.nix-security-scan = {
+  description = "Daily Nix security scan";
+  serviceConfig = {
+    Type = "oneshot";
+    ExecStart = "${pkgs.writeShellScript "nix-security-scan" ''
+      export PATH="${pkgs.sbomnix}/bin:${pkgs.grype}/bin:${pkgs.jq}/bin:$PATH"
+      ${./scripts/scan-flakes.sh}
+    ''}";
+  };
+};
+
+systemd.user.timers.nix-security-scan = {
+  wantedBy = ["timers.target"];
+  timerConfig = {
+    OnCalendar = "daily";
+    Persistent = true;
+  };
+};
+```
+
+## Output
+
+Reports are written to `~/.local/share/nix-security-scan/`:
+
+- `<project>.sbom.cdx.json` - CycloneDX SBOM
+- `<project>.vulns.json` - Grype vulnerability scan results
+- `report-YYYY-MM-DD.md` - Human-readable summary
+
+## Limitations
+
+1. **Scans built derivations** - Must rebuild after flake update to see fixes
+2. **Name-based matching** - Some false positives from package name collisions
+3. **No auto-fix** - Manual intervention required for patches/overrides
+4. **Slow on large closures** - NixOS systems have thousands of components

+Analyze infrastructure code for environmental safety and forensic reliability.
+
+## The Ops Layers
+
+Check if the scripts, Nix configs, or CI workflows implement these safety layers.
+
+### 1. Environment Guards (Layer 3)
+*   **Check:** Does the script explicitly verify the environment before performing destructive actions?
+*   **❌ Flag:** `rm -rf`, `git init`, `nixos-rebuild`, or database migrations that run without an environment check.
+*   **Fix:** Add explicit guards:
+    ```bash
+    if [[ "${ENV:-}" != "prod" ]]; then
+      echo "Error: This script must run in PROD" >&2
+      exit 1
+    fi
+    ```
+*   **Fix (Nix):** Use assertions to prevent building production flakes on development machines if unintended.
+
+### 2. Contextual Safety
+*   **Check:** Is the script "aware" of its location?
+*   **❌ Flag:** Using `cd` or `rm` on relative paths that could point to the wrong place if run from a different directory.
+*   **Fix:** Use `$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)` to anchor the script to its own location.
+
+### 3. Debug Instrumentation (Layer 4)
+*   **Check:** If this deployment/script fails in CI, is there enough info to debug it without SSH access?
+*   **❌ Flag:** Silencing output with `&> /dev/null` or missing `set -x` in failure blocks.
+*   **Fix:** Log environment variables (excluding secrets), current directory, and tool versions on failure.
+
+### 4. Blast Radius Redundancy
+*   **Check:** If a single variable is empty, does the script fail safely or delete the root?
+*   **❌ Flag:** `rm -rf "$VARIABLE/*"` where VARIABLE could be empty.
+*   **Fix:** Always check variables: `[[ -n "${VARIABLE:-}" ]] || exit 1`.

+description: Start or resume a Ralph Wiggum loop on an existing Work document (docs/work/*.md). Use when the user asks to "use ralph" on a Work doc or to run iterative Work-phase execution.
+---
+
+# Ralph Work Loop
+
+Use this skill to run the Ralph Wiggum loop **after** a Work document exists.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Ralph extension installed: `.pi/extensions/ralph-wiggum/index.ts`
+- Work document already created in `docs/work/`
+
+## Process
+
+1. **Validate the Work doc**:
+   - Check required sections: Intent link, Approach link, Checklist, Verification commands, Evidence section
+   - Each checklist item needs a verification command
+   - See the `work` skill for full validation checklist
+   - Fix any issues before starting the loop
+
+2. **Locate the Work doc**:
+   - If user provides a path, use it.
+   - Otherwise run:
+     ```bash
+     ./.pi/skills/ralph-work-loop/scripts/find-latest-work.sh
+     ```
+   - If multiple candidates are relevant, list them and ask the user to choose.
+
+3. **Start the loop**:
+   ```
+   /ralph start <work-doc-path>
+   ```
+   Optional flags (ask user if they care):
+   - `--items-per-iteration N`
+   - `--reflect-every N`
+   - `--max-iterations N`
+
+4. **Monitor or resume**:
+   - ` /ralph status` to show active loops
+   - ` /ralph resume <name>` to continue paused loop
+
+5. **Stop**:
+   - Press `ESC` to pause
+   - ` /ralph-stop` when idle to end the loop
+
+## Notes
+
+- The loop enforces the **Intent → Approach → Work** dialect and requires verification evidence for completed items.
+- Use `/ralph start <path>` to point directly to an existing Work doc.

+# Test Review Skill (The Auditor)
+
+This skill focuses on the **quality** of your test code.
+
+While `verify-work` checks if tests *pass*, `test-review` checks if tests are *good*. A test suite can pass 100% and still be useless if it contains tautologies, brittle mocks, or race conditions.
+
+## What It Checks
+
+1.  **Flakiness:** Arbitrary sleeps, global state, race conditions.
+2.  **Tautologies:** Tests that always pass (`expect(true).toBe(true)`).
+3.  **Brittle Mocks:** Mocking internals instead of behavior.
+4.  **Structure:** Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA) pattern violations.
+5.  **PBT Opportunities:** Suggesting Property-Based Testing for suitable logic.
+
+## Usage
+
+Ask the agent to review specific test files or the whole suite:
+
+*   "Review `src/auth.test.ts` for anti-patterns"
+*   "Audit my test suite quality"
+*   "Are these tests brittle?"
+
+## Philosophy
+
+"Test behavior, not implementation."
+"Wait for conditions, not time."
+"Don't mock what you don't own."

+---
+
+# Test Review Skill (The Auditor)
+
+Run focused analysis on test files to ensure they are robust and meaningful.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Invoke this skill when:
+- "Review these tests"
+- "Audit my test suite"
+- "Are these tests brittle?"
+- "Check for test anti-patterns"
+
+## Available Lenses
+
+Lenses are located in `skills/test-review/lenses/`:
+
+| Lens | Focus |
+|------|-------|
+| `flakiness.md` | Timing issues, sleeps, global state, race conditions |
+| `lies.md` | Tautologies, meaningless assertions, swallowed errors |
+| `structure.md` | Arrange-Act-Assert violations, single-action check |
+| `mocking.md` | "Don't mock what you don't own", implementation vs behavior |
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Phase 1: Target Selection
+1. Identify test files to review (e.g., `*.test.ts`, `test_*.py`).
+2. Show file list to user for confirmation.
+
+### Phase 2: Lens Execution
+For each lens, analyze the target test files:
+1. Apply the lens criteria.
+2. Collect findings (Severity: HIGH/MED/LOW).
+
+### Phase 3: Synthesis
+1. Deduplicate findings.
+2. Group related issues.
+3. Present summary report.
+
+### Phase 4: Interactive Review
+Ask: "Which findings should I file as issues?"
+
+## Guidelines
+
+1. **Behavior Over Implementation:** Ensure tests verify what the code *does*, not how it *looks*.
+2. **Dynamic vs Static:** Remind user that this is a quality audit. Use `verify-work` to confirm if they actually *pass*.
+3. **No Flakiness:** Be ruthless about `sleep` and `setTimeout`.
+
+## Integration
+
+- **Issue Tracking:** Uses `bd create` for beads issues.
+- **Verification:** Works as part of the Triad (Verify -> Test-Review -> Code-Review).
