shishiv Setup pstack
Read ../../docs/delegation.md. Configure against capabilities that the active Pi environment actually exposes. Do not install another agent package, invent a model ID, or replace the user's complete settings file.
1. Identify the host
Inspect the host instructions and available tools. Treat HERDR_ENV only as a hint. Prefer the host path only when an active agents capability is present or herdr pane current --current succeeds and returns a valid current pane; follow its real contract. Otherwise use pstack_delegate, including inside Herdr. Do not send a local task to a remote executor merely because another delegation tool is absent.
2. Map semantic roles
Map pstack work to roles rather than provider-specific names:
| pstack role | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| fast local exploration | exploration |
| external research | research |
| implementation and precise execution | implementation |
| independent code review | review |
| judgment, synthesis, and cross-judge | judgment |
| full pstack style | the agents/poteto-agent.md prompt |
| comment-only review | the agents/comment-sicko.md prompt |
The active model is the default for every role. For a multi-model panel, select explicit models only from the live Pi model registry. Candidate outputs passed to a blind judge must not contain provider or model identity.
3. Verify
Run one harmless read-only delegation and confirm that the selected path:
- launches from the intended working directory;
- returns its result to the parent;
- preserves the read-only tool restriction;
- reports failure without hiding it;
- uses
pstack_delegateoutside Herdr.
When model diversity is configured, run a two-candidate blind check and confirm that both selected models are available. A missing optional model reduces diversity. A missing delegation path is a failed setup.
4. Establish verification
If the project has no verify-* skill and feature map, offer /skill:create-verification-skill. Model routing does not create trust by itself. The project earns higher autonomy only after its real verification and eval gates pass.
