can1357 881737fec4 refactor(coding-agent): restructured web search and config systems with class-based architecture and type generalization
- Renamed web search types and functions to remove 'Web' prefix for broader applicability (WebSearchProvider -> SearchProviderId, WebSearchResponse -> SearchResponse, WebSearchTool -> SearchTool, etc.).
- Refactored web search provider system from object-based configuration to class-based architecture with abstract SearchProvider base class and concrete provider implementations.
- Refactored ModelRegistry to use direct constructor instantiation instead of discoverModels() helper function, simplifying model discovery pattern.
- Refactored config system to use new ConfigFile class with schema validation, caching, and multi-format support (JSON, JSONC, YAML).
- Simplified Exa API key discovery to check environment variables only, removing .env file reading logic.

## Key Abstractions
### AgentSession (session/agent-session.ts)
The central abstraction that wraps the SDK Agent with:
- Session persistence (via SessionManager)
- Settings persistence (via SettingsManager)
- Model cycling with scoped models
- Context compaction
- Bash command execution
- Message queuing
- Hook integration
- Custom tool loading
- Extension/capability system integration
All three modes (interactive, print, rpc) use AgentSession.
### SDK (sdk.ts)
Wrapper around `@oh-my-pi/pi-agent-core` that provides a simplified interface for creating and managing agents programmatically. Used by AgentSession and available as a public API through index.ts exports.
### InteractiveMode (modes/interactive-mode.ts)
Handles TUI rendering and user interaction:
- Subscribes to AgentSession events
- Renders messages, tool executions, streaming
- Manages editor, selectors, key handlers
- Delegates all business logic to AgentSession
### RPC Mode (modes/rpc/)
Headless operation via JSON protocol over stdin/stdout:
- **rpc-mode.ts**: `runRpcMode()` function that listens for JSON commands on stdin and emits responses/events on stdout
- **rpc-types.ts**: Typed protocol definitions (`RpcCommand`, `RpcResponse`, `RpcSessionState`)
- **rpc-client.ts**: `RpcClient` class for spawning the agent as a subprocess and controlling it programmatically
The RPC mode exposes the full AgentSession API via JSON commands. See [docs/rpc.md](docs/rpc.md) for protocol documentation.
### SessionManager (session/session-manager.ts)
Handles session persistence:
- JSONL format for append-only writes
- Session file location management
- Message loading/saving
- Model/thinking level persistence
### SettingsManager (config/settings-manager.ts)
Handles user preferences:
- Default model/provider
- Theme selection
- Queue mode
- Thinking block visibility
- Compaction settings
- Hook/custom tool paths
- Thinking budgets (`thinkingBudgets` setting for custom token budgets per level)
- Image blocking (`blockImages` setting to prevent images from being sent to LLM)
### Hook System (extensibility/hooks/)
Extensibility layer for intercepting agent behavior:
- **loader.ts**: Discovers and loads hooks from `~/.omp/agent/hooks/`, `.omp/hooks/`, and CLI
- **runner.ts**: Dispatches events to registered hooks
- **types.ts**: Event types (`session`, `tool_call`, `tool_result`, `message`, `error`, `user_bash`)
See [docs/hooks.md](docs/hooks.md) for full documentation.
### Extension System Architecture
The extension system uses a shared runtime pattern:
1. **ExtensionRuntime** (`extensibility/extensions/types.ts`): Shared state and action handlers for all extensions
2. **Extension**: Per-extension registration data (handlers, tools, commands, shortcuts)
3. **ExtensionAPI**: Per-extension API that writes registrations to Extension and delegates actions to runtime
4. **ExtensionRunner**: Orchestrates event dispatch and provides context to handlers
Key extension events:
- `before_agent_start`: Receives `systemPrompt` and can return full replacement (not just append)
- `user_bash`: Intercept `!`/`!!` commands for custom execution (e.g., remote SSH)
- `session_shutdown`: Cleanup notification before exit
### Custom Tools (extensibility/custom-tools/)
System for adding LLM-callable tools:
- **loader.ts**: Discovers and loads tools from `~/.omp/agent/tools/`, `.omp/tools/`, and CLI
- **types.ts**: `CustomToolFactory`, `CustomToolDefinition`, `CustomToolResult`
See [docs/custom-tools.md](docs/custom-tools.md) for full documentation.
### Skills (extensibility/skills.ts)
On-demand capability packages:
- Discovers SKILL.md files from multiple locations
- Provides specialized workflows and instructions
- Loaded when task matches description
See [docs/skills.md](docs/skills.md) for full documentation.
### Capability System (capability/)
Unified extension system that discovers and loads capabilities from multiple sources:
- **Extension Discovery** (discovery/): Discovers extensions from Claude.md, .cursorrules, .codex, MCP servers, etc.
- **Capability Types**: Hooks, tools, context files, rules, skills, slash commands, system prompts, etc.
- **Multi-source**: Global (~/.omp/), project (.omp/), and built-in capabilities
See [docs/extensions.md](docs/extensions.md) for full documentation.
### Tool Output Infrastructure (tools/)
Standardized system for handling tool outputs with truncation, streaming, and artifact storage.
#### Core Components
**OutputSink** (`session/streaming-output.ts`): Line-buffered output collector with automatic spill-to-disk.
- Tracks total lines/bytes as data flows through
- Spills to artifact file when memory threshold exceeded
- Produces `OutputSummary` with truncation metadata
- Used by executors (bash, python, ssh) for streaming command output
**TailBuffer** (`tools/output-utils.ts`): Simple rolling buffer keeping the last N bytes.
- Used for UI preview during streaming
- Handles UTF-8 boundaries correctly
- Lightweight alternative to OutputSink for non-spilling tools
**ToolResultBuilder** (`tools/tool-result.ts`): Fluent builder for constructing `AgentToolResult`.
- Chains `.text()`, `.truncation*()`, `.limits()`, `.sourcePath()` methods
- Automatically populates `details.meta` with structured metadata
- Produces well-formed result via `.done()`
**OutputMetaBuilder** (`tools/output-meta.ts`): Fluent builder for `OutputMeta` structure.
- Methods for truncation info, limits, source paths, diagnostics
- Accepts `TruncationResult` (from truncate.ts) or `OutputSummary` (from OutputSink)
- Returns `undefined` if no metadata to report (empty case)
**wrapToolWithMetaNotice** (`tools/output-meta.ts`): Tool wrapper applied to all built-in tools.
- Automatically appends truncation/limit notices from `details.meta`
- Catches exceptions and renders them via `ToolError.render()`
#### Standard Pattern for Streaming Tools
Tools that produce potentially large streaming output (bash, python, ssh):
```typescript
async execute(...): Promise<AgentToolResult<MyDetails>> {
// 1. Allocate artifact path for full output storage
const { artifactPath, artifactId } = await allocateOutputArtifact(this.session, "toolname");
// 2. Create tail buffer for UI preview
const tailBuffer = createTailBuffer(DEFAULT_MAX_BYTES);
// 3. Execute with streaming callback
const result = await executeCommand({
artifactPath,
artifactId,
onChunk: (chunk) => {
tailBuffer.append(chunk);
onUpdate?.({
content: [{ type: "text", text: tailBuffer.text() }],
details: {},
});
},
});
// 4. Build result with truncation metadata
return toolResult<MyDetails>({})
.text(result.output)
.truncationFromSummary(result, { direction: "tail" })
.done();
}
```
#### Standard Pattern for Non-Streaming Tools
Tools that produce output in one shot (grep, find, ls):
```typescript
async execute(...): Promise<AgentToolResult<MyDetails>> {
const { items, limitReached } = await doWork();
const output = formatItems(items);
return toolResult<MyDetails>({})
.text(output)
.limits({ resultLimit: limitReached ? effectiveLimit : undefined })
.done();
}
```
#### Key Principles
1. **Always allocate artifact before execution** — ensures path exists for spill
2. **Pass onChunk to OutputSink/executor** — required for live UI updates during streaming
3. **Use ToolResultBuilder for all results** — ensures consistent metadata structure
4. **Close file sinks on error** — prevent descriptor leaks in failure paths
5. **Truncation direction matters** — `"tail"` for command output (show recent), `"head"` for file reads (show beginning)
## Development Workflow
### Running in Development
Run the CLI directly with bun (this is a bun-based project):
```bash
# From monorepo root
bun run dev
# Or run directly
bun packages/coding-agent/src/cli.ts
# With arguments
bun packages/coding-agent/src/cli.ts --help
bun packages/coding-agent/src/cli.ts -p "Hello"
# RPC mode
bun packages/coding-agent/src/cli.ts --mode rpc --no-session
```
### Type Checking
```bash
# From monorepo root (runs biome + tsgo type check)
bun run check
# From packages/coding-agent
bun run check
```
### Building
```bash
# Type check and build (from packages/coding-agent)
bun run build
# Build standalone binary
bun run build:binary
```
### Testing
```bash
# Run tests (from packages/coding-agent)
bun test
# Run specific test pattern
bun test --testNamePattern="RPC"
# Run RPC example interactively
bun test/rpc-example.ts
```
### Managed Binaries
Tools like `fd` and `rg` are auto-downloaded to `~/.omp/bin/` (migrated from `~/.omp/agent/tools/`).
## Adding New Features
### Adding a New Slash Command
1. If it's a UI-only command (e.g., `/theme`), add handler in `interactive-mode.ts` `setupEditorSubmitHandler()`
2. If it needs session logic, add method to `AgentSession` and call from mode
### Adding a New Tool
1. Create tool factory in `tools/` following existing patterns (e.g., `createMyTool(session: ToolSession)`)
2. Export factory and types from `tools/index.ts`
3. Add to `BUILTIN_TOOLS` map in `tools/index.ts`
4. Add tool prompt template to `prompts/tools/` if needed
5. Tool will automatically be included in system prompt
6. Use `ToolResultBuilder` for results and `OutputMeta` for truncation/limit metadata (see "Tool Output Infrastructure" section)
7. For streaming tools: use `allocateOutputArtifact()` + `createTailBuffer()` pattern with `onChunk` callback
### Adding a New Hook Event
1. Add event type to hook event types in `extensibility/hooks/types.ts`
2. Add emission point in relevant code (AgentSession, tool wrapper, etc.)
3. Update `docs/hooks.md` with the new event type
### Adding a New RPC Command
1. Add command type to `RpcCommand` union in `modes/rpc/rpc-types.ts`
2. Add response type to `RpcResponse` union in `modes/rpc/rpc-types.ts`
3. Add handler case in `handleCommand()` switch in `modes/rpc/rpc-mode.ts`
4. Add client method in `RpcClient` class in `modes/rpc/rpc-client.ts`
5. Update `docs/rpc.md` with the new command
### Adding a New Selector
1. Create component in `modes/components/`
2. Use `showSelector()` helper in `interactive-mode.ts`:
```typescript
private showMySelector(): void {
this.showSelector((done) => {
const selector = new MySelectorComponent(
// ... params
(result) => {
// Handle selection
done();
this.showStatus(`Selected: ${result}`);
},
() => {
done();
this.ui.requestRender();
},
);
return { component: selector, focus: selector.getSelectList() };
});
}
```
### Adding a New Extension Source
1. Create discovery module in `discovery/` (e.g., `my-source.ts`)
2. Implement discovery functions that return capability objects
3. Add to discovery chain in `discovery/index.ts`
4. Update `docs/extension-loading.md` with the new source
### Adding a New Capability Type
1. Create capability module in `capability/` (e.g., `my-capability.ts`)
2. Define capability type and schema
3. Add to capability registry in `capability/index.ts`
4. Add loader/handler in relevant core module
5. Update `docs/extensions.md` with the new capability type
### Adding a New Keybinding
1. Add the action name to `AppAction` type in `config/keybindings.ts`
2. Add default binding to `DEFAULT_APP_KEYBINDINGS`
3. Add to `APP_ACTIONS` array
4. Handle the action in `CustomEditor` or `InteractiveMode`
Example: The `dequeue` action (`Alt+Up`) restores queued messages to the editor.
## Code Style
- TypeScript with strict type checking (tsgo)
- No `any` types unless absolutely necessary
- No inline dynamic imports
- Formatting via Biome (`bun run check` or `bun run fix`)
- Keep InteractiveMode focused on UI, delegate logic to AgentSession
- Use event bus for tool/extension communication
- Components should override `invalidate()` to rebuild on theme changes
## Package Structure
This is part of a monorepo with the following packages:
- `@oh-my-pi/pi-coding-agent` (this package) - Main CLI and TUI
- `@oh-my-pi/pi-agent-core` - Core agent implementation
- `@oh-my-pi/pi-tui` - TUI components
- `@oh-my-pi/pi-ai` - External AI provider library
## CLI Flags
Key CLI flags for development:
- `--no-tools`: Disable all built-in tools (extension-only setups)
- `--no-extensions`: Disable extension discovery (explicit `-e` paths still work)
- `--no-skills`: Disable skill discovery
- `--session <id>`: Resume by session ID prefix (UUID match) or path
## SDK Exports
The SDK (`src/index.ts`) exports run modes for programmatic usage:
- `InteractiveMode`: Full TUI mode
- `runPrintMode()`: Non-interactive, process messages and exit
- `runRpcMode()`: JSON stdin/stdout protocol
Extension types and utilities are also exported for building custom extensions.
