GOAL
Understand the whole repository structure and how the Pi terminal-to-browser bridge extension works, before making changes.
- +0Prompt · +0What does this whole repo do?
- +0mAgent did · +0mListed repo files, read README.md and package.json to get a high-level overview of the pi-web-bridge project.
- +0mAgent did · +0mRead the bridge server-side source: types.ts, lifecycle.ts, server.ts, ws-rpc-adapter.ts, bridge-event-bus.ts, terminal-log-view.ts, network.ts, and the extension entry point web-bridge.ts.
- +0mAgent did · +0mRead the Vue frontend: App.vue, useBridgeClient composable, transcript.ts, shared-types.ts, vite/vitest configs, and all components (ChatTranscript, SessionRail, TreeRail, CommandPalette, ReconnectBanner, ExtensionDialog, ComposerBar).
- +1mAgent did · +1mRan targeted ripgrep searches across README, extension entry point, lifecycle, server, ws-rpc-adapter, bridge-event-bus, terminal-log-view, App.vue, useBridgeClient, transcript.ts, types.ts, package.json and vite/vitest configs to pin down key exports and line numbers.
- +2mAgent did · +2mCounted test files and test cases in src/bridge/__tests__ and web/src/__tests__: 10 test files, 134 test cases.
- +2mOutcome · +2mProduced a summary explaining the repo is a Pi `/web` extension bridging terminal sessions to a browser chat UI, citing specific files and line numbers (README.md:3, web-bridge.ts:129/18, lifecycle.ts:47, server.ts:34, types.ts:20, ws-rpc-adapter.ts:297) and noting 10 test files with 134 test cases.
VERDICT
I'd start by just asking for a one-line summary plus the key entry points instead of letting the agent read every single file, since most of the answer came from README.md and a handful of core files. The grep-based verification pass at the end was useful for pinning exact line numbers and confirming test coverage (134 tests), which made the final explanation concrete rather than vague.
