SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @mariozechner/pi-ai, @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows you to efficiently dispatch and manage the pi coding agent for various sub-tasks, enhancing your coding workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Dispatch: Assign specific coding tasks to the pi agent, such as code review, analysis, edits, or multi-agent orchestration.
  • Alias-Based Model Selection: Use aliases to select from a predefined list of models, including GPT-5.6 Sol, GPT-5.6 Terra, and GPT-5.6 Luna.
  • Streamlined Execution: Execute commands using the pi-watch script for alias-based model selection and prompt execution.
  • Pre-flight Validation: Validate model availability and authentication before dispatching the pi agent.

Quick Start

Use the 'pi-dev' skill to analyze the code in the 'src/auth.ts' file for security issues:

pi-watch --alias codex "Analyze the auth flow in src/auth.ts for security vulnerabilities."

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate code review and analysis for software development workflows?▼

You can automate code review and analysis by dispatching specific coding tasks to the pi coding agent. This allows you to efficiently assign sub-tasks like security vulnerability checks and code edits for streamlined execution.

Can I select different AI models for code analysis and editing tasks?▼

Yes, you can select different models for code analysis and editing using alias-based model selection. The system supports predefined aliases to choose from various models before dispatching the coding agent.

Do I need to install the pi software before dispatching coding tasks?▼

Yes, you must install and configure the pi software with appropriate model and tool access before dispatching coding tasks. The system also performs pre-flight validation to check model availability and authentication.

What is the best way to manage multi-agent orchestration for code edits?▼

The best way to manage multi-agent orchestration for code edits is by dispatching and managing sub-tasks through the pi coding agent. This workflow supports assigning specific coding tasks like edits and analysis efficiently.

Why does the pi agent fail to dispatch my coding tasks?▼

Dispatching coding tasks fails if the pi software is not installed or configured correctly, or if pre-flight validation detects missing model availability and authentication. Ensure your environment has appropriate model and tool access.
