pi-gstack-bridge

pi-gstack-bridge

Pi-native agent bridge for gstack. Routes review, challenge, design, and second-opinion work through child Pi sessions instead of directly launching Codex, Claude, or Gemini CLIs.

What this is

pi-gstack-bridge is the routing and safety boundary for pi-gstack. It embeds pi-gstack's skills, safety hooks, compatibility helpers, and commands while filtering its legacy Agent/Task registrations. The bridge then supplies Pi-routed replacements for those tools. Codex can remain the selected provider/model (openai-codex/...), while Pi owns the child launch, authentication, timeout, cancellation, tool allowlist, and Windows executable resolution.

Features

• Pi-routed Agent and Task compatibility tools
• gstack_pi_agent for specialist work
• gstack_pi_review for independent read-only review
• gstack skills, safety hooks, compatibility helpers, and commands without a second gstack extension
• Direct codex, claude, and gemini CLI blocking
• Windows npm-shim-safe Pi CLI resolution
• Local run artifacts and diagnostics

Install

pi install npm:pi-gstack-bridge

Do not load npm:pi-gstack separately in the same settings file. The bridge loads its gstack surface internally and removes the duplicate Agent/Task registrations before Pi validates extension tools. This avoids the startup error Tool "Agent" conflicts with ....

Quick start

/gstack-bridge:status
/gstack-bridge:doctor

The tools are available to gstack workflows automatically:

{
  "task": "Review this branch for production regressions and security issues.",
  "mode": "review",
  "readOnly": true
}

Configuration

Variable	Purpose
PI_GSTACK_BRIDGE_CLI	Explicit pi-coding-agent/dist/cli.js path
PI_GSTACK_BRIDGE_PI_BIN	Explicit Pi executable or npm shim
GSTACK_PI_BRIDGE_MODEL	Default child model when the parent has none
GSTACK_PI_BRIDGE_RUN_DIR	Override local run-artifact directory
