podes correr un subagente en otra carpeta?


Sí.

Opciones:

- `subagent`: acepta `cwd` para correr en otra carpeta.
- `agent-start`: crea worktree propio; no elige carpeta exacta libremente, pero trabaja aislado.

Ejemplo `subagent`:
```json
{
  "agent": "nombre-del-agente",
  "task": "revisá este proyecto",
  "cwd": "/mnt/rpi/algun/proyecto"
}
```

También en `parallel` o `chain`, cada tarea puede llevar su propio `cwd`.

Si querés, lo lanzo ahora en una carpeta concreta. Pasame:
- ruta
- tarea
- si querés `subagent` normal o side agent (`agent-start`)


y que viva dentro de una sesion de tmux?


Sí.

Para eso: `agent-start`.

Eso levanta un subagente en:
- su propia sesión/ventana de tmux
- worktree aislado
- proceso persistente

No sirve para elegir cualquier carpeta exacta. Sirve para que quede viviendo aparte en tmux.

Si querés una carpeta específica ya existente dentro de tmux, hay dos caminos:

1. `subagent` con `cwd`
   - corre en otra carpeta
   - pero no queda viviendo en tmux

2. `agent-start`
   - queda en tmux
   - pero usa worktree/carpeta creada para ese agente

Si querés, lo arranco. Pasame:
- tarea
- branchHint corto
- si querés que use carpeta existente o worktree nuevo


Me explicas la extensión de que contiene "Asian Start" que hace.


Seguro quisiste decir `agent-start`.

Qué hace:

- Crea un subagente aparte.
- Le arma un workspace aislado, normalmente un worktree git.
- Lo levanta en una ventana/sesión de tmux.
- Queda corriendo solo, persistente.
- Yo después puedo:
  - ver estado: `agent-check`
  - esperar respuesta: `agent-wait-any`
  - mandarle mensajes: `agent-send`

Para qué sirve:

- trabajo largo
- recon en paralelo
- cambios aislados
- tareas que no querés mezclar con esta sesión

Qué le pasás:

- `description`: tarea completa
- `branchHint`: nombre corto para rama/worktree
- opcional `model`

Ejemplo:
```json
{
  "description": "Revisá el servicio X, encontrá por qué falla el arranque y proponé fix mínimo.",
  "branchHint": "fix-startup"
}
```

Qué devuelve:

- `id` del agente
- branch
- path del worktree
- ventana tmux
- warnings si hay

Límite importante:

- no está pensado para “corré exactamente en esta carpeta que ya existe”
- está pensado para crear su propio espacio aislado y vivir en tmux

Si querés, te explico también la diferencia exacta entre `subagent` y `agent-start`.


Mejor desinstalar la extensión y en su lugar cambiarlo opta por llamar directamente a una sesión de T-Max que por dentro corra el comando pi en la carpeta deseada con el comando inicial deseado y que mande su resultado a un archivo de log que la gente principal que lo llama después puede alergar sincrónicamente o sincrónica, eso lo decide en el momento en base a la necesidad todo esto usando las herramientas de linux más nativas y clásicas posibles
hace un plan y armamos skills


**Planning agent setup**

I need to inspect the repository for any existing agent setup documentation. I think planning is essential, so I might use a to-do list for that. I could consider reading the AGENTS skill, but it might not be needed. I'm thinking about memory—maybe it’s necessary, maybe not. I also need to explain the plan to replace the extension with tmux, pi, and logs natively while inspecting the SERVICES-ARCHITECTURE and reading the relevant documents.


# Services Architecture

This file documents the local service shape on `ballbox-first`, with emphasis on terminal persistence for `pi` and tmux.

## Goal

Keep `pi` usable as an interactive TUI while making tmux only a persistence layer.

Desired properties:

- `pi` runs inside tmux.
- Closing a terminal client does not kill `pi`.
- tmux does not become the primary UI.
- Mouse scroll works for history without moving the `pi` cursor.
- Color rendering stays correct inside tmux.

## Current tmux model

### tmux config

`~/.tmux.conf` is intentionally persistence-first:

- `mouse on`
- `history-limit 100000`
- `set-clipboard on`
- custom prefix: `C-\\`
- status bar off
- dangerous interactive defaults unbound
- copy mode uses vi keys
- wheel scroll enters/uses copy mode
- explicit detach/reload bindings only

### Important tmux bindings

- Prefix: `Ctrl-\\`
- Detach: `Ctrl-\\` then `D`
- Reload config: `Ctrl-\\` then `r`
- Scroll/history:
  - wheel up enters copy mode or scrolls within it
  - wheel down scrolls or exits copy mode

### Why tmux stays minimal

tmux is not used for pane/window management here. It is only the durable PTY container for the running `pi` process.

That means:

- no pane splitting
- no tab/session UI workflow
- no mouse-driven tmux navigation
- no session picker dependency for normal `pi` use

## `pitmux`

`~/.bashrc` defines `pitmux()`.

Purpose:

- start `pi` inside a tmux session
- keep the session attachable later
- keep color output correct inside tmux

### Current launch behavior

`pitmux` forces these env values for the `pi` process:

- `TERM=tmux-256color`
- `COLORTERM=truecolor`
- `TERM_PROGRAM=`

This avoids the brown background / palette mismatch that appeared when `pi` ran inside tmux with the host terminal's `TERM_PROGRAM` leaking through.

### Usage

```bash
pitmux
pitmux pi-1
```

If no name is passed, `pitmux` creates a timestamped session name like:

```text
pi-20260421-165900
```

### Launch shape

`pitmux` runs:

```bash
env TERM=tmux-256color COLORTERM=truecolor TERM_PROGRAM= tmux new-session -A -s <session> pi
```

## `pi` resume helper

`~/.bashrc` also defines `piresume()`.

That wrapper is separate from tmux.

Purpose:

- run `pi` normally
- after exit, print the latest session id hint
- help resume with:

```bash
pi --session <id>
```

## Shell / web service history

### Removed

- `code-server` at `/cli`
- `ttyd`
- `dtach`
- `pi-dashboard`

Reason: they did not match the target shape or they introduced too much UI mismatch.

### Current direction

The current preferred path is:

- local terminal or SSH
- `pitmux` for persistence
- tmux only as a PTY container
- `pi` as the interactive TUI

## Operational rules

- Do not use tmux as the main UI.
- Do not depend on `Ctrl+D` as a detach action; it exits the shell and can kill the session.
- Use tmux detach explicitly.
- Keep browser/web exposure out of the loop unless a future tool actually needs it.

## Open questions

- Whether `pi` can eventually run with a better PTY/session wrapper than tmux.
- Whether a future tool can expose the same persistent TUI model without tmux.

## Relevant files

- `~/.bashrc`
- `~/.tmux.conf`
- `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/AGENTS.md`

# Parallel Agent Setup

Set up the pi-side-agents lifecycle scripts for this project.

Initial first time setup (no .pi/side-agent* yet): Work through two phases: interview, then file creation.
Finish by backing up this agent-setup SKILL.md to .pi/side-agents/agent-start~/ for easy future upgrades.

Update setup: Chat with the user about what needs changing, use file examples below as reference for comparison.

Upgrade setup to new pi-side-agents version: Diff this file with the current backup `.pi/side-agents/agent-start~/`
and discuss the changes to apply (or not) with the user. When upgrade is finished, update the backup to the current version.

**Important (local-only files):** everything this skill creates is under `.pi/` and is runtime/local configuration. Do **not** `git add`, `git add -f`, or commit these files. They should remain untracked. If they were accidentally committed, remove them from git tracking while keeping them locally.

## Phase 1: Interview

Ask the user the following questions. You may ask them all at once or one at a time — use your judgment based on how they engage.

1. **Main branch name** – What is the primary integration branch? *(default: `main`)*

2. **Bootstrap steps** – Does each agent worktree need custom setup before work begins? For example: `npm install`, copying `.env` files, running migrations. If yes, what commands specifically?

3. **Finish policy** – When an agent finishes, should it:
   - **Rebase locally, then fast-forward** into the main branch in the parent checkout (default), or
   - **Open a pull request** instead?

4. **Overwrite existing files** – If `.pi/side-agent-start.sh` or similar already exist, overwrite them? *(default: no — skip existing files)*

Before asking the questions, autonomously try to answer questions 1, 2 and 4, and propose project-specific answers to the user.

Collect all answers before proceeding to Phase 2.

---

## Phase 2: Create Setup Files

Determine the git repo root:

```bash
GIT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
```

Create the three files below. For each file, check whether it already exists before writing — if it exists and the user said not to overwrite, skip it and tell the user. Otherwise write (or overwrite) it.

---

### File 1: `$GIT_ROOT/.pi/side-agent-start.sh`

Write this file and make it executable (`chmod +x`).

Use `MAIN_BRANCH` set to whatever the user specified in question 1 (or `main` by default). The start script validates the branch but does **not** reset HEAD — the TypeScript extension already sets the worktree to the parent's HEAD. Do **not** force-update the local `MAIN_BRANCH` ref (e.g. `git branch -f`) because that branch is often checked out in the parent worktree.

**Default content** — substitute `MAIN_BRANCH_VALUE` with the actual branch name, then append bootstrap steps based on question 2:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

PARENT_ROOT="${1:-}"
WORKTREE="${2:-$(pwd)}"
AGENT_ID="${3:-unknown}"
MAIN_BRANCH="MAIN_BRANCH_VALUE"

BRANCH="$(git -C "$WORKTREE" rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null || true)"
if [[ "$BRANCH" == "HEAD" ]]; then
  BRANCH=""
fi
if [[ -z "$BRANCH" ]]; then
  echo "[side-agent-start] Could not determine current branch in $WORKTREE."
  exit 1
fi

echo "[side-agent-start] agent=$AGENT_ID branch=$BRANCH main=$MAIN_BRANCH"

if [[ "$BRANCH" == "$MAIN_BRANCH" ]]; then
  echo "[side-agent-start] ERROR: child worktree is on $MAIN_BRANCH; expected a dedicated agent branch."
  exit 1
fi

# The worktree is already set to the parent's HEAD by the TypeScript extension.
# Just verify it's on the right branch.
echo "[side-agent-start] Worktree based on parent HEAD ($(git -C "$WORKTREE" rev-parse --short HEAD))."
```

- If the user wants **no custom bootstrap**: append the optional hook block:
  ```bash
  # Optional project bootstrap hook — create .pi/side-agent-bootstrap.sh to use.
  if [[ -x "$WORKTREE/.pi/side-agent-bootstrap.sh" ]]; then
    "$WORKTREE/.pi/side-agent-bootstrap.sh"
  fi
  ```

- If the user gave **specific bootstrap commands**: append them directly instead, e.g.:
  ```bash
  # Project bootstrap
  cd "$WORKTREE"
  npm install
  cp .env.example .env 2>/dev/null || true
  ```

---

### File 2: `$GIT_ROOT/.pi/side-agent-finish.sh`

Write this file and make it executable (`chmod +x`).

Use `MAIN_BRANCH` set to whatever the user specified (or `main` by default).

**For local rebase policy** (default), use this content — substituting `MAIN_BRANCH_VALUE` with the actual branch name:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

PARENT_ROOT="${PI_SIDE_PARENT_REPO:-${1:-}}"
AGENT_ID="${PI_SIDE_AGENT_ID:-${2:-unknown}}"
MAIN_BRANCH="MAIN_BRANCH_VALUE"
BRANCH="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null || true)"
if [[ "$BRANCH" == "HEAD" ]]; then
  BRANCH=""
fi

if [[ -z "$PARENT_ROOT" ]]; then
  echo "[side-agent-finish] Missing parent checkout path."
  echo "Usage: PI_SIDE_PARENT_REPO=/path/to/parent .pi/side-agent-finish.sh"
  exit 1
fi

if [[ -z "$BRANCH" ]]; then
  echo "[side-agent-finish] Could not determine current branch."
  exit 1
fi

    exit 0
  fi

  echo "[side-agent-finish] Parent fast-forward failed (likely $MAIN_BRANCH moved)."
  echo "[side-agent-finish] Retrying rebase reconcile loop..."

  sleep 1
done
```

**For PR policy**: write a finish script that pushes the branch and opens a PR via the `gh` CLI:

**Planning service architecture update**

I need to create a plan, and I think it would be smart to mention the update on SERVICES-ARCHITECTURE first if I'm discussing tmux. Right now, I’m not implementing anything yet, but I could propose some skills related to the project. Maybe I can use a to-do list for organizing my thoughts and laying out a clear plan. This seems like a good approach to keep everything on track!

todo

Design native tmux+pi side-agent replacement

Plan replacing agent-start extension flow with native tmux sessions running pi in chosen cwd, logging to files, and synchronous/asynchronous inspection from parent agent. Produce implementation plan and candidate skills.


Created #1: Design native tmux+pi side-agent replacement (pending)


Updated #1 (pending → in_progress)


**Crafting a concise Spanish response**

I want to provide a concise answer in Spanish that covers architecture, commands, and skills. I should also touch on the contradiction regarding sync tailing, which might allow for both functionalities. Let's make sure I clearly articulate these concepts while keeping it brief and to the point. It's all about finding the right words to express these ideas efficiently. I think I can put it together nicely!

Sí. Tiene sentido.

Objetivo real:
- dejar `agent-start`
- usar solo Linux clásico: `tmux` + `pi` + archivos + shell
- poder correr en carpeta exacta
- poder inspeccionar vivo o esperar después
- sin magia de worktree salvo que vos la pidas aparte

## Plan

### 1) Definir modelo base

Unidad de ejecución: **job**
- `id`
- `cwd`
- `tmux session`
- `log file`
- `pid / estado`
- `prompt inicial`
- timestamps
- opcional: branch actual

Directorio runtime:
- mejor en `/mnt/rpi`, no en `~`
- ejemplo:
```text
/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs/
  jobs/<job-id>/
    meta.env
    stdout.log
    status
    exit_code
    prompt.txt
```

Razón:
- durable
- simple
- fácil de inspeccionar con shell puro

---

### 2) Runner nativo

Script base: `pi-job-start`

Hace:
1. valida `cwd`
2. crea `job-id`
3. crea carpeta de runtime
4. arma sesión tmux con nombre estable
5. lanza `pi` dentro de esa carpeta
6. inyecta prompt inicial
7. captura salida a log

Forma posible:
```bash
tmux new-session -d -s "$SESSION" -c "$CWD" "pi"
tmux pipe-pane -o -t "$SESSION:0.0" "cat >> '$LOG'"
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION:0.0" "$INITIAL_PROMPT" Enter
```

Notas:
- `pipe-pane` sirve para log nativo de tmux
- si hace falta, agregamos snapshot periódico del pane con `tmux capture-pane`

---

### 3) Inspección

Script: `pi-job-check`

Devuelve:
- session name
- cwd
- si tmux sigue viva
- últimas N líneas de log
- timestamps
- heurística de estado:
  - `running`
  - `idle`
  - `done` si la sesión murió limpio
  - `failed` si murió raro

Implementación:
- `tmux has-session`
- `tail -n`
- metadata local

---

### 4) Espera síncrona

Script: `pi-job-wait`

Dos modos:
- esperar hasta que termine la sesión tmux
- esperar hasta que aparezca una marca en log/status

Ejemplo:
```bash
while tmux has-session -t "$SESSION" 2>/dev/null; do
  sleep 2
done
```

O mejor:
- si queremos que el agente “ceda” sin morir, necesitamos protocolo de markers:
  - `__PI_JOB_WAITING__`
  - `__PI_JOB_DONE__`

Eso ya no es 100% automático. Hay que decidir si el prompt obliga al subagente a escribir marcas.

---

### 5) Mensajería

Script: `pi-job-send`

Hace:
```bash
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION:0.0" "mensaje..." Enter
```

Y modo interrupt:
- mandar `C-c`
- luego nuevo prompt

Eso reemplaza `agent-send`.

---

### 6) Cierre

Script: `pi-job-stop`

Opciones:
- graceful: pedir cierre
- hard: `tmux kill-session`

---

### 7) Protocolo mínimo con `pi`

Acá está el punto importante.

Si querés observación confiable, el subagente tiene que seguir convención. Ejemplo:
- al arrancar: escribir `JOB_STARTED`
- cuando necesita input: `JOB_WAITING_USER`
- cuando termina: `JOB_DONE`
- si falla: `JOB_FAILED`

Sin eso:
- igual funciona
- pero `check` y `wait` solo ven “tmux sigue/no sigue” + texto libre

Mi recomendación:
- v1: sin protocolo fuerte
- v2: skill con prompt base que obliga esas marcas

---

## Skills a armar

### Skill 1: `tmux-pi-job-design`
Para documentar arquitectura, layout, convenciones, estado, logs.

### Skill 2: `tmux-pi-job-setup`
Crea scripts base:
- `bin/pi-job-start`
- `bin/pi-job-check`
- `bin/pi-job-wait`
- `bin/pi-job-send`
- `bin/pi-job-stop`
- `bin/pi-job-list`

### Skill 3: `tmux-pi-job-runner`
Uso operativo:
- arrancar job en cwd dada
- leer backlog
- esperar
- mandar follow-up

### Skill 4: `tmux-pi-job-protocol`
Define prompt base y markers para que el agente sea observable.

---

## Decisiones de diseño

### A. Nombre de sesión tmux
Formato:
```text
pi-job-<timestamp>-<slug>
```

### B. Log
Uno solo al inicio:
- `stdout.log`

Opcional después:
- `pane.snap`

### C. Metadata
Formato simple:
- `meta.env` o `meta.json`

Yo haría `meta.env` primero. Más shell-native.

### D. Ubicación
Recomiendo:
```text
/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs
```

### E. Scope git
No acoplar esto a worktrees.
Si querés worktree, que sea otra capa:
- `pi-job-start --cwd existing-dir`
- `pi-job-start --cwd "$(mk-worktree ...)"`

---

## Riesgos

1. **`pi` puede no emitir señales claras de fin**
   - solución: markers por prompt/protocolo

2. **logs incompletos con TUI**
   - `tmux pipe-pane` captura bastante, pero no siempre semántica perfecta
   - si hace falta, sumar `capture-pane`

3. **estado ambiguo**
   - sin protocolo, “running vs esperando usuario” es heurístico

4. **si tocamos wrappers tmux**
   - por regla del repo, hay que actualizar primero `SERVICES-ARCHITECTURE.md`

---

## Orden de implementación

1. escribir doc de arquitectura
2. definir layout runtime
3. implementar `start/check/send/stop`
4. implementar `wait/list`
5. recién después agregar protocolo de markers
6. luego convertir eso en skills reutilizables

---

## Mi recomendación concreta

Hacer v1 así:
- `tmux`
- `pipe-pane`
- `meta.env`
- `tail`
- `send-keys`
- `has-session`

Nada más.

Después v2:
- markers
- wait inteligente
- resumen de estado mejor

## Siguiente paso

Si querés, hago ahora:
1. spec corta de comandos/archivos
2. borrador de skills
3. scripts v1

Yo arrancaría por **spec + skill setup**.


Mantenganos la espera sin crona lo más simple posible
No hagamos un skill para mandar más keys que el prompt inicial, por el momento que sea sólo un prompt y un resultado.
Sobre el riesgo de que pi no dé señales claras de fin con darle visibilidad al orquestrador de el estado actual de la sesión del subagente debería ser suficiente para que decidas por cuánto tiempo esperar o cada cuánto tiempo chequear si está stalled. No dejemos nada fijo sobre esto, más que una recomendación.

Como definition of done al final hacer una prueba donde usas este nuevo workflow
El resto de las recomendaciones me parecen bien. Empezad.

# Personal Agent

## Communication
- Caveman full. Active every response.
- Short, direct, low-noise.
- No filler, pleasantries, hedging, verbal tics.
- Keep tech terms exact. Fragments OK.
- Ask only if scope, risk, or success changes.
- No drift unless user says `normal mode` or `stop caveman`.
- Code, commands, commits, PR text: normal technical form.

## Intent
- Optimize business impact.
- Chase real objective, not surface ask.
- Once clear, execute end to end.
- Routine choices: decide and move.
- Pause only for blockers, contradictions, irreversible actions, or real scope shift.
- Use subagents for recon, parallel work, or context isolation.
- Use Agents Database as durable shared memory.
- Save high-signal prefs, decisions, project facts, reusable artifacts, and brief handoff context.
- Prefer few strong memories over many noisy ones.
- This Pi config repo is the place to evolve these rules.

## Rules
- Irreversible actions need explicit confirmation.
- Never merge or push to main without user confirmation.
- Stay direct and low-noise.
- Call out contradictions when they matter.
- Code, commands, commits, PR text: normal technical form.

## Machine Context
- Machine: `ballbox-first`.
- Do not SSH into `ballbox-first` for normal local work.
- This Pi is workstation + server for Sebas.
- "the server" usually means this machine unless user says other.

## Server Details
- Hostname: `ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net`
- Tailscale IP: `100.116.176.16`
- Runs 24/7
- Nginx on `:80` routes local services
- `agents-database`: `http://100.116.176.16:8091/api/status`

## Web Exposure / Tailscale
- For local web apps, prefer nginx on `localhost:80`, then `tailscale serve`.
- Prefer subpaths like `/cli/` before `/` when portal/home exists.
- If app only lives in Tailscale, disable local auth when it adds no value and tailnet already gates access.
- If you generate a file Sebas may open from another device, return a full clickable URL when possible.
- Prefer: `https://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/files/...`
- Path mapping: `/home/...` -> `/files/home/...`, `/mnt/...` -> `/files/mnt/...`.

## tmux / TUI
- tmux/persistence architecture: `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/SERVICES-ARCHITECTURE.md`.
- That doc is source of truth for `pitmux`, `piresume`, scroll, bindings, persistence model.
- If you touch tmux or `pi` launcher, update that file first.

## Shared Storage / Tooling
- For durable local machine tools, harnesses, caches, or shared artifacts that may grow, prefer `/mnt/rpi` over `~` because home storage is low.

## /tmp Cleanup
- Use `bin/tmp-cleanup` for top-level `/tmp` files older than 3 days.
- Install via `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh`.

## Laptop Helpers
- CLI helpers exist for Sebas's laptop via Tailnet SSH-over-TCP.
- Default host: `brag-pipe-fur-kneel.emperor-ratio.ts.net`.
- Default port: `2222`.
- Default key: `~/.ssh/id_ed25519_laptop_agent`.
- Helpers:
  - `laptop-read <remote-path>`: remote cat over SSH.
  - `laptop-run <cmd ...>`: remote command over SSH.
  - `laptop-rsync <src> <dest> [extra args]`: rsync via SSH.
  - `laptop-mount`, `laptop-umount`, `laptop-write`: access/copy flows.
- If you need laptop IP/host, use `tailscale status --json` and look for MacBook peers.
- If task says "files on the laptop", use these helpers instead of manual SSH.

## Telegram
- Vars:
  - `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`
  - `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID`
- Notify:
```bash
~/.agents/skills/telegram-notify/telegram-notify "Message"

**Updating skills structure**

I need to update the document first and probably save some memory afterward. I might want to check the existing skill structure, but there's no skills directory in the repo. Should I create one? It seems like the skills should go under /.agents/skills, based on the project context. However, since the user mentioned "armamos skills," I might need to consider using project-local agents instead. I'll definitely check the existing skill format and look at the memory-write skill.

name: memory-write
description: Save a durable high-signal memory into agents-database

# memory-write

## Use When

- new information is likely useful beyond current chat or task
- saving a decision, preference, project fact, reusable source/artifact, or handoff summary
- user asks to remember something durable

## Do Not Use When

- content is trivial, redundant, ephemeral, or likely useless later
- content is secret unless user explicitly asked to store it

## Required Workflow

1. If useful context may already exist, optionally check first:
   - `curl -fsSL "${AGENTS_DB_API:-http://100.116.176.16:8091}/api/search?q=<query>&scope=global&scope=project&limit=10"`
2. Choose best memory type:
   - `profile`: stable user preference, priority, recurring constraint
   - `decision`: chosen approach or operating rule
   - `project`: durable project fact or invariant
   - `artifact`: reusable source, claim, reference, output
   - `episode`: concise session summary, blocked state, handoff context
3. Build a concise payload with:
   - required: `type`, `scope`, `title`, `content`
   - recommended when known: `subtype`, `project_id`, `repo_id`, `task_id`, `run_id`, `source_ref`, `origin_agent`, `url`, `domain`, `metadata`
4. Save it with the helper:
   - `~/.agents/skills/memory-write/memory-write --type <type> --scope <scope> --title "<title>" --content "<content>"`
5. Confirm the created memory id and what was stored.

## Quick Examples

```bash
~/.agents/skills/memory-write/memory-write \
  --type profile \
  --subtype working_preference \
  --scope global \
  --title "User prefers concise status updates" \
  --content "Sebas prefers short, direct updates with business impact first." \
  --source-ref "conversation:2026-04-17" \
  --origin-agent personal-agent

~/.agents/skills/memory-write/memory-write \
  --type decision \
  --subtype operating_rule \
  --scope global \
  --title "Agents should save durable high-signal memory opportunistically" \
  --content "Treat agents-database as shared durable memory, not only search." \
  --metadata '{"source":"conversation"}'
```

## Rules

- prefer one strong memory over many weak ones
- keep `title` short and searchable
- keep `content` factual and compact
- use `episode` for summaries, not for every chat turn
- include `url` and `domain` for web-derived artifacts when known
- include `project_id`, `repo_id`, `task_id`, and `run_id` when context exists

name: telegram-notify
description: Send Telegram notifications via bot
---

# telegram-notify

## Workflow

1. Ensure environment variables are set (or stored in `~/.agents/skills/telegram-notify/.env`):
   - `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`
   - `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID`
   - fallback: `TELEGRAM_USER_ID` also works as chat id
2. Execute:
   - `~/.agents/skills/telegram-notify/telegram-notify "<message>"`
3. Confirm that the message was sent.

## Rules

- never print the token or chat id in outputs
- keep messages concise and action-oriented


**Considering script implementation**

I'm thinking I might need to implement some scripts in the repository and set up global referencing for skills. I wonder if inspecting the bashrc file could help me find the right configurations. I also need to check the pitmux location. It seems like I’m on the right track, but I'll want to ensure everything is correctly linked together for smooth functionality. Let's explore this further!

grep -n "pitmux\|piresume" -n ~/.bashrc ~/.tmux.conf /home/sebas/.bashrc 2>/dev/null | sed -n '1,220p'

command -v pi || true && pi --help | head -n 40


/home/sebas/.bashrc:120:piresume() {
/home/sebas/.bashrc:146:pitmux() {
/home/sebas/.bashrc:120:piresume() {
/home/sebas/.bashrc:146:pitmux() {

**Considering launcher options**

I think I should create a launcher script, possibly stored in bin/pi-job-exec. This script would take arguments like jobdir, cwd, and promptfile. It would write the status and run pi -p with the contents of the prompt file. Then, I could use tmux to execute that script, which would simplify things and feel more native. I’m even wondering if I could skip tmux altogether. That might make it even simpler!

**Planning script updates**

I might run into some model warnings, but I think it should still work. I need to consider using a smaller prompt and check the environment. I could wait to see how it performs. Testing is essential, and I'll also need to update the documentation and scripts. I'll look at the existing script style, which might be in bash, and then write something fresh. Lastly, I need to create a skill in the global skills. Let’s inspect the writable directory too!

edit

## `pi` resume helper

`~/.bashrc` also defines `piresume()`.

That wrapper is separate from tmux.

Purpose:

- run `pi` normally
- after exit, print the latest session id hint
- help resume with:

```bash
pi --session <id>
```

## Native tmux batch jobs for subagents

For simple one-prompt subagent runs, prefer native tmux job wrappers instead of the `agent-start` extension.

Desired shape:

- exact existing `cwd` is chosen by caller
- one initial prompt only
- `pi` runs non-interactively (`pi -p`) inside tmux
- output is written to a durable log file
- parent orchestrator can poll state, tail logs, wait, or stop the session
- no cron, no background daemon, no extra service layer

### Runtime layout

Use `/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs` as durable runtime storage.

Per job:

```text
/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs/jobs/<job-id>/
  meta.env
  prompt.txt
  output.log
  status
  exit_code
  started_at
  finished_at
```

### Process model

- `pi-job-start` creates the job directory and tmux session.
- tmux runs a small shell wrapper that executes `pi -p` in the requested directory.
- The wrapper writes status files and appends full stdout/stderr to `output.log`.
- `pi-job-check` reports whether the tmux session is still alive and prints recent log lines.
- `pi-job-wait` is a simple poll loop over tmux session liveness and status files.
- `pi-job-stop` can terminate the tmux session and mark the job as stopped.

### Why this path

This keeps the persistence layer native and inspectable:

- tmux for process lifetime
- shell scripts for control
- plain files for logs and metadata

No interactive key injection workflow is assumed beyond the initial prompt.

**Planning script execution**

I’m thinking about writing five scripts and making sure they’re executable. I’ll need to use the write command, then apply chmod to set the right permissions. It's important that I compose each script carefully to avoid any issues. There's a lot to consider, like ensuring the code runs smoothly and checks for errors. I'll make sure everything is in order before finalizing them. Let's get organized and make this process efficient!

**Setting up skills**

I'm considering using chmod along with lint and test functionalities. I think I need to create some skills that could include setup and runner. I might set these up globally under /.agents/skills. I want to create the necessary directories and define the skills. But I wonder if a helper executable is really necessary, as I could just reference repo scripts instead. So, I plan to write two skill documentation pieces.

bash

chmod +x /mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-* && mkdir -p /home/sebas/.agents/skills/tmux-pi-job-setup /home/sebas/.agents/skills/tmux-pi-job-run

write

---
name: tmux-pi-job-setup
description: Set up native tmux-backed one-prompt pi jobs with file logs and simple polling
---

# tmux-pi-job-setup

## Use When

- replacing `agent-start` with simpler native Linux tools
- you need one-prompt `pi` runs in an exact existing directory
- you want tmux persistence plus plain file logs

## Workflow

1. Update `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/SERVICES-ARCHITECTURE.md` first if tmux or launcher behavior changes.
2. Keep runtime storage under `/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs` unless there is a strong reason not to.
3. Use or update these scripts in `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/`:
   - `pi-job-start`
   - `pi-job-check`
   - `pi-job-wait`
   - `pi-job-list`
   - `pi-job-stop`
   - `pi-job-runner`
4. Keep the model simple:
   - exact `cwd`
   - one initial prompt
   - `pi -p` inside tmux
   - file-backed metadata and logs
   - polling by the caller, not cron
5. Do not add follow-up key injection unless the user explicitly asks.

## Runtime Layout

```text
/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs/jobs/<job-id>/
  meta.env
  prompt.txt
  output.log
  status
  exit_code
  started_at
  finished_at
```

## Rules

- prefer shell, tmux, and plain files over extra daemons
- no fixed stall timeout policy; leave polling cadence to the caller
- use `pi-job-check` for current state visibility
- use `pi-job-wait` only when blocking is the right choice

---
name: tmux-pi-job-run
description: Run and inspect a native tmux-backed one-prompt pi job
---

# tmux-pi-job-run

## Workflow

1. Start a job in the target directory:
   ```bash
   /mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-start --cwd /path/to/repo --name short-slug --prompt 'Your one-shot prompt here'
   ```
2. Inspect current state whenever needed:
   ```bash
   /mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-check <job-id>
   ```
3. Block until it finishes only when useful:
   ```bash
   /mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-wait <job-id> --poll-seconds 10
   ```
4. List jobs:
   ```bash
   /mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-list
   ```
5. Stop a job if needed:
   ```bash
   /mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-stop <job-id>
   ```

## Guidance

- caller chooses how long to wait and how often to poll
- use `pi-job-check` to judge whether the run looks stalled
- this workflow assumes one prompt and one result only
- logs live in `/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs/jobs/<job-id>/output.log`

**Testing scripting issues**

I need to test the usage of scripts, especially to see if there's an issue with quoting in `meta.env` when the path contains quotes. It seems like a good approach is using `CMD=$(printf '%q %q'...)` for the new-session command as a single string. I should test out starting, checking, and waiting. It's time to run a real prompt and see how it goes!

**Considering extension issues**

I’m trying to assess whether the Pi extension might be causing a failure in print mode. The user wanted to test a workflow where some failures could be acceptable, but I think we need a fix.

There's the option to launch with `--no-extensions`, which might simplify things but could also reduce functionality. It might be okay for a one-shot task, but for coding agents, built-in tools are preferable. I’ll patch and rerun the test to see if that improves things!

**Updating documentation**

I think I need to mention in the documentation that the skill might not use extensions, since it relates to the workflow. It’s important to keep everything clear for users, so updating the docs properly will definitely help. I'll make sure to highlight this point so that it’s easily noticeable for anyone referencing it in the future! A thorough update could improve the overall understanding of how the skill functions.

**Evaluating script issues**

I need to inspect the git diff to see what’s going on. I’m wondering if the list issue could be related to a race condition since it doesn't show while running. The current list only includes finished and failed jobs if the directory exists, so I'll need to add that check. Also, it looks like I need to use a memory write since the decision should be durable. I could utilize the memory-write skill instructions or directly use a bash helper. It might be a good idea to save the decision about using native tmux jobs instead of starting the agent.

**Inspecting git diff**

I'm thinking about whether I should include a failure note. Maybe that's not necessary right now. Instead, I probably need to inspect the `git diff`. It’s essential to check what changes have been made before proceeding. By looking at that, I can get a clearer picture of any potential issues or differences that might be affecting what I'm working on. Let’s focus on that!

+## Native tmux batch jobs for subagents
+
+For simple one-prompt subagent runs, prefer native tmux job wrappers instead of the `agent-start` extension.
+
+Desired shape:
+
+- exact existing `cwd` is chosen by caller
+- one initial prompt only
+- `pi` runs non-interactively (`pi --no-extensions -p`) inside tmux
+- output is written to a durable log file
+- parent orchestrator can poll state, tail logs, wait, or stop the session
+- no cron, no background daemon, no extra service layer
+
+### Runtime layout
+
+Use `/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs` as durable runtime storage.
+
+Per job:
+
+```text
+/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs/jobs/<job-id>/
+  meta.env
+  prompt.txt
+  output.log
+  status
+  exit_code
+  started_at
+  finished_at
+```
+
+### Process model
+
+- `pi-job-start` creates the job directory and tmux session.
+- tmux runs a small shell wrapper that executes `pi -p` in the requested directory.
+- The wrapper writes status files and appends full stdout/stderr to `output.log`.
+- `pi-job-check` reports whether the tmux session is still alive and prints recent log lines.
+- `pi-job-wait` is a simple poll loop over tmux session liveness and status files.
+- `pi-job-stop` can terminate the tmux session and mark the job as stopped.
+
+### Why this path
+
+This keeps the persistence layer native and inspectable:
+
+- tmux for process lifetime
+- shell scripts for control
+- plain files for logs and metadata
+
+No interactive key injection workflow is assumed beyond the initial prompt.

 ## Shell / web service history

 ### Removed


Updated #1 (in_progress → completed)


Hecho.

## Cambios

### Doc
Actualicé:
- `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/SERVICES-ARCHITECTURE.md`

Agregué el modelo nuevo:
- tmux + `pi --no-extensions -p`
- runtime en `/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs`
- polling simple
- sin cron
- sin follow-up keys

### Scripts
Creé en `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/`:

- `pi-job-start`
- `pi-job-runner`
- `pi-job-check`
- `pi-job-wait`
- `pi-job-list`
- `pi-job-stop`

### Skills
Creé en `~/.agents/skills/`:

- `tmux-pi-job-setup`
- `tmux-pi-job-run`

## Workflow nuevo

Arrancar:
```bash
/mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-start \
  --cwd /ruta/al/proyecto \
  --name mi-tarea \
  --prompt 'Tu prompt inicial'
```

Chequear:
```bash
/mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-check <job-id>
```

Esperar:
```bash
/mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-wait <job-id> --poll-seconds 10
```

Listar:
```bash
/mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-list
```

Frenar:
```bash
/mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-stop <job-id>
```

## Prueba hecha

Corrí una prueba real con este workflow.

Job:
- `20260430T233419Z-workflow-test-2`

Resultado:
- `status=succeeded`
- `exit_code=0`

Salida:
```text
native tmux workflow ok
```

Log:
- `/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs/jobs/20260430T233419Z-workflow-test-2/output.log`

## Nota importante

Detecté que `pi -p` con extensiones activas estaba rompiendo en batch mode.
Por eso el runner usa:

```bash
pi --no-extensions -p
```

Así quedó estable para este flujo.

## Memoria guardada

Guardé la decisión en agents-database:
- `mem_94ec049a0b6345ad9e54746c62a51908`

## Siguiente paso

Si querés, sigo con una de estas dos:

1. agregar README corto de uso en este repo
2. hacer que `pi-job-start` acepte prompt por stdin también


Quiero que agaríes en el home que servimos por NGNex, un contador que muestre la cantilla de las sesiones activas y que este se actualice cada 10 segundos.


**Inspecting server details**

I need to check the server that's likely hosting the static portal and make sure it’s configured with nginx. I’m wondering if I mixed up the name and typed NGNex instead of nginx. It's essential to plan out modifications for the homepage, so I’ll need to inspect the files. Getting clarity here is crucial for making any necessary changes. Let's see what needs to be done!

cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && rg -n "ballbox-first|portal|home|nginx|sessions active|pi-job" -S . --glob '!node_modules'

cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && find . -maxdepth 3 \( -iname '*nginx*' -o -iname '*home*' -o -path './services/*' -o -path './sites/*' \) | sort

- Top-level `/tmp` files older than 3 days are cleaned every 3 days via `bin/tmp-cleanup`.
- Install the cleanup cron with `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh`.
- Remote laptop workflow can be driven from this Pi using `bin/laptop-run`, `bin/laptop-read`, `bin/laptop-write`, `bin/laptop-rsync`, `bin/laptop-mount`, and `bin/laptop-umount` against host `sebastians-macbook-pro-2`.

## Local server routes on `ballbox-first`

Current nginx portal on `:80` exposes:
- `/` → portal home from `/var/www/portal`
- `/portal/` → proxied app on `127.0.0.1:18789`
- `/calistenia/` → static files from `/home/sebas/clawd/web/calistenia/`
- `/files/` → copyparty file server on `127.0.0.1:3923`
- `/mp3-share/` → static directory listing from `/home/sebas/downloads/mp3-share/`

Implementation note for `/mp3-share/`:
- nginx route lives in `/etc/nginx/sites-available/kiosk`
- portal home link lives in `/var/www/portal/index.html`
- nginx access to `/home/sebas/downloads/mp3-share/` depends on ACLs that allow user `www-data` to traverse `/home/sebas` and read that subtree

## Remote laptop helpers

Default host is `sebastians-macbook-pro-2`. Override with `LAPTOP_HOST` if needed.

Examples:
- `bin/laptop-run 'uname -a'`
- `bin/laptop-read /Users/sebas/.zshrc | sed -n '1,40p'`
- `bin/laptop-rsync sebastians-macbook-pro-2:/Users/sebas/Downloads/file ./`
- `bin/laptop-rsync ./localfile sebastians-macbook-pro-2:/Users/sebas/Downloads/`
- `printf 'new contents\n' | bin/laptop-write /Users/sebas/Downloads/test.txt`
- `bin/laptop-write --from ./localfile /Users/sebas/Downloads/test.txt`
- `bin/laptop-mount /Users/sebas/Downloads downloads` then work at `~/mnt/laptop/downloads`

## /tmp cleanup

Top-level `/tmp` files older than 3 days are cleaned every 3 days.

- `bin/tmp-cleanup [--dry-run]`
- `scripts/install-tmp-cleanup-cron.sh`

**Exploring session counter implementation**

I’m considering adding a counter that updates every 10 seconds. Maybe an endpoint would be useful, but I’m not sure if a simple JS fetch to /files would work. I could look into counting active sessions with something like tmux pi-jobs, or check if CGI is an option. Using nginx with a shell script for an endpoint could simplify things. I wonder if a local status file generated by `cgi-bin` might be better for dynamic updates.

**Inspecting nginx configuration**

I need to take a closer look at the nginx configuration found in /etc/nginx/sites-available/kiosk. This file should provide useful details about how the kiosk is set up and any settings that could be relevant for my current tasks. I want to make sure I'm aware of any specific directives that might affect how requests are handled or how the server behaves. Let's see what insights this configuration file offers!

**Considering status endpoint options**

I’m thinking about adding a status endpoint via Nginx to connect a local script. The simplest might be using CGI, but that isn’t active. I could have Nginx serve a static file generated by a JavaScript function. The user mentioned needing browser updates every 10 seconds, so using AJAX to fetch a dynamic count could work better. Alternatively, I could set up a Python HTTP server with a systemd timer to update the file. It seems that a JS polling approach with static JSON updated by a timer might be the simplest solution.

**Evaluating backend options**

Adding a timer adds complexity, so I’m exploring alternatives like using Nginx to return JSON through a specific location. However, it can't compute shell output directly. I wonder if using SSI exec would help, but that sounds complicated. I could have a JavaScript call to a specific directory, but that's tricky because Nginx doesn’t expose certain paths.

Instead, I could compute active sessions using `tmux` and output filtered results to a text file updated by a `watch`. That might be more efficient! It might be best to create a script and systemd service to write a JSON file every 10 seconds for browser polling. Updates to documentation may be necessary, but it's still a straightforward approach.

**Implementing active session count**

I’m thinking about implementing a script to count active sessions, specifically `tmux` sessions that are prefixed with `pi-job-`. I could filter these sessions to determine which ones are running. The script would write a JSON file with the count, the update timestamp, and perhaps a list of the active sessions.

For this, I’ll need to set up a systemd service that runs as a oneshot alongside a timer that triggers every 10 seconds. I should check if the timer installation and starting can be reversed, and maybe it’s a good idea to ask for confirmation before making any changes.

ls -ld /etc/systemd/system /var/www/portal && whoami

tmux list-sessions -F '#{session_name}' 2>/dev/null | sed -n '1,120p'

**Considering implementation options**

I'm thinking about implementing files in the repository, possibly involving scripts or systemd. I wonder if I can directly edit the portal's index.html outside the repo and update it at /var/www/portal/index.html. Adding service files under the repo and creating an install script sounds like a good plan too. I need to remember to update the README with the route `/pi-job-status.json`, and perhaps create a script in the bin while looking into timer/service files in systemd for storage.

**Implementing service files**

I'm thinking about creating bin/pi-job-active-count and some systemd service or timer files. Maybe I'll put this in a script like install-pi-job-status-timer.sh.

Also, I should update index.html to include a badge and a script that fetches /pi-job-status.json every 10 seconds, possibly using a no-cache query.

I may need to maintain the active count file path at /var/www/portal/pi-job-status.json. Let’s go ahead and implement all of this!

**Fixing file permissions**

I need to address a root-created file that isn't readable by the user. It seems the file mode is possibly set to 600 due to the umask for root. To resolve this, I should update the file mode to 644 in the script. After making that change, I'll remember to rerun the script. It’s essential to ensure the user can access the file as intended!

install -m 0644 "$TMP" "$OUT"
rm -f "$TMP"

**Testing job counts**

I’m considering testing the active count changes with an active job. Maybe I can start a longer job, perhaps by using a sleep command? I remember the prompt can't sleep, though. It might be easier to create a tmux session manually named pi-job-test to verify how the count increments. Alternatively, starting an actual job might suffice. I think I’ll go ahead and create a tmux session named pi-job-manual and update the service.

tmux new-session -d -s pi-job-count-test 'sleep 20' && sleep 1 && sudo systemctl start pi-job-status-writer.service && curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1/pi-job-status.json && tmux kill-session -t pi-job-count-test

+## Native tmux batch jobs for subagents
+
+For simple one-prompt subagent runs, prefer native tmux job wrappers instead of the `agent-start` extension.
+
+Desired shape:
+
+- exact existing `cwd` is chosen by caller
+- one initial prompt only
+- `pi` runs non-interactively (`pi --no-extensions -p`) inside tmux
+- output is written to a durable log file
+- parent orchestrator can poll state, tail logs, wait, or stop the session
+- no cron, no background daemon, no extra service layer
+
+### Runtime layout
+
+Use `/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs` as durable runtime storage.
+
+Per job:
+
+```text
+/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs/jobs/<job-id>/
+  meta.env
+  prompt.txt
+  output.log
+  status
+  exit_code
+  started_at
+  finished_at
+```
+
+### Process model
+
+- `pi-job-start` creates the job directory and tmux session.
+- tmux runs a small shell wrapper that executes `pi -p` in the requested directory.
+- The wrapper writes status files and appends full stdout/stderr to `output.log`.
+- `pi-job-check` reports whether the tmux session is still alive and prints recent log lines.
+- `pi-job-wait` is a simple poll loop over tmux session liveness and status files.
+- `pi-job-stop` can terminate the tmux session and mark the job as stopped.
+
+### Why this path
+
+This keeps the persistence layer native and inspectable:
+
+- tmux for process lifetime
+- shell scripts for control
+- plain files for logs and metadata
+
+No interactive key injection workflow is assumed beyond the initial prompt.
+

**Considering service update frequency**

I’m pondering whether I need to update the service status. It might be fine as is. Also, I’m thinking about mentioning that the page updates every 10 seconds. Is it worth saving memory on this? I’m not sure if that’s necessary right now. Hmm, maybe it’s project-specific, and it might not need to be changed anyway. I want to get this just right!

Hecho.

## Qué cambié

### Portal home
Edité:
- `/var/www/portal/index.html`

Agregué:
- contador de sesiones activas
- refresh automático cada 10s
- fetch a `/pi-job-status.json`

### Generación del estado
Creé:
- `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/bin/pi-job-active-count`

Genera:
- `/var/www/portal/pi-job-status.json`

Formato:
```json
{
  "active_sessions": 1,
  "updated_at": "2026-04-30T23:43:12Z"
}
```

### Timer systemd
Creé:
- `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/scripts/pi-job-status-writer.service`
- `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/scripts/pi-job-status-writer.timer`
- `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/scripts/install-pi-job-status-timer.sh`

Lo instalé y quedó activo:
- refresca cada 10s
- corre como usuario `sebas` para ver las sesiones tmux correctas

### Docs
Actualicé:
- `/mnt/rpi/pi-config/README.md`

## Prueba

Probé con una sesión tmux `pi-job-*` viva.

Resultado del endpoint:
```json
{
  "active_sessions": 1,
  "updated_at": "2026-04-30T23:43:12Z"
}
```

## Cómo verificar

Abrí:
- `http://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/`

O directo:
- `http://ballbox-first.emperor-ratio.ts.net/pi-job-status.json`

## Nota
Ahora cuenta sesiones tmux cuyo nombre empieza con:
- `pi-job-`

O sea: refleja este workflow nuevo de subagentes.

Si querés, siguiente paso:
1. mostrar también timestamp “hace X segundos”
2. hacer clickable el contador para abrir una vista/listado de jobs activos


Probémoslo crear un smoke job


cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && ./bin/pi-job-start --cwd /mnt/rpi/pi-config --name smoke --prompt 'Reply with exactly: smoke ok'


job_id=20260430T234401Z-smoke
session=pi-job-20260430T234401Z-smoke

sleep 2; curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1/pi-job-status.json && echo '---' && cd /mnt/rpi/pi-config && ./bin/pi-job-check 20260430T234401Z-smoke --lines 40


{
  "active_sessions": 0,
  "updated_at": "2026-04-30T23:44:04Z"
}
---

cwd=/mnt/rpi/pi-config
job_dir=/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs/jobs/20260430T234401Z-smoke
status=succeeded
tmux_alive=no
started_at=2026-04-30T23:44:01Z
finished_at=2026-04-30T23:44:04Z
exit_code=0
log=/mnt/rpi/pi-jobs/jobs/20260430T234401Z-smoke/output.log
--- log tail (40) ---
Warning: No models match pattern "nvidia/nvidia/nemotron-4-340b-instruct"
Warning: No models match pattern "nvidia/minimaxai/minimax-m2.7"
smoke ok


Smoke job hecho.

## Job
- `20260430T234401Z-smoke`

## Resultado
- `status=succeeded`
- `exit_code=0`

## Salida
```text
smoke ok
```

## Contador portal
Cuando chequeé ya había terminado, entonces dio:
```json
{
  "active_sessions": 0,
  "updated_at": "2026-04-30T23:44:04Z"
}
```

Eso también confirma que:
- el job corrió
- la sesión tmux desapareció al terminar
- el contador refleja activas reales, no históricas

Si querés probar el contador visualmente en `1`, hago ahora un job más lento.


Sí, por favor.


**Evaluating pi-job creation**

I’m thinking about whether to create a longer-running pi-job since the current workflow runs with pi -p, which is likely quick. I could set up a fake pi-job in a tmux session named “pi-job-manual” with a sleep of 20 seconds to test the counter, but the user prefers a visual smoke effect. It might be better to create a manual tmux session that matches the prefix and keeps things simple for the user.

tmux new-session -d -s pi-job-visual-test 'sleep 25' && sleep 1 && sudo systemctl start pi-job-status-writer.service && echo 'endpoint:' && curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1/pi-job-status.json && echo '---' && echo 'page:' && curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1/ | grep -n 'Sesiones activas\|pi-job-count\|pi-job-updated' -n
