Folder Hierarchy

Files gald3r writes and the directories it expects for Pi. The .pi/ tree is the primary gald3r surface.

project-root/
.pi/
├── skills/         <name>/SKILL.md
├── prompts/        <name>.md   ← slash commands
└── extensions/     *.ts        ← pi.on(event) hooks
AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md ← hierarchical instruction files

Key Setup Notes

  • →Minimal open-source terminal coding-agent harness (67.5k+ GitHub stars)
  • →Reads AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md via a true hierarchical directory-walk concat (global + walk-up + cwd)
  • →Native Agent Skills (agentskills.io SKILL.md) in .pi/skills/ + ~/.agents/skills/
  • →Native prompt-template slash commands (.pi/prompts/<name>.md); lifecycle hooks via TypeScript pi.on(event) extensions

Known Gaps

Areas where gald3r's native capability is limited or absent on Pi. The engine compensates where possible via L1 — CLI Wrapper.

  • ⚠No MCP support — an explicit design choice per the project README (engine reaches it via CLI wrapper, L1)
  • ⚠No project-level agents roster
