## Running

```bash
cd packages/coding-agent
npx tsx examples/sdk/01-minimal.ts
```

## Quick Reference

```typescript
import { getModel } from "@mariozechner/pi-ai";
import {
  AuthStorage,
  createAgentSession,
  DefaultResourceLoader,
  ModelRegistry,
  SessionManager,
  SettingsManager,
  codingTools,
  readOnlyTools,
  readTool, bashTool, editTool, writeTool,
} from "@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent";

// Auth and models setup
const authStorage = AuthStorage.create();
const modelRegistry = new ModelRegistry(authStorage);

// Minimal
const { session } = await createAgentSession({ authStorage, modelRegistry });

// Custom model
const model = getModel("anthropic", "claude-opus-4-5");
const { session } = await createAgentSession({ model, thinkingLevel: "high", authStorage, modelRegistry });

// Modify prompt
const loader = new DefaultResourceLoader({
  systemPromptOverride: (base) => `${base}\n\nBe concise.`,
});
await loader.reload();
const { session } = await createAgentSession({ resourceLoader: loader, authStorage, modelRegistry });

// Read-only
const { session } = await createAgentSession({ tools: readOnlyTools, authStorage, modelRegistry });

// In-memory
const { session } = await createAgentSession({
  sessionManager: SessionManager.inMemory(),
  authStorage,
  modelRegistry,
});

// Full control
const customAuth = AuthStorage.create("/my/app/auth.json");
customAuth.setRuntimeApiKey("anthropic", process.env.MY_KEY!);
const customRegistry = new ModelRegistry(customAuth);

const resourceLoader = new DefaultResourceLoader({
  systemPromptOverride: () => "You are helpful.",
  extensionFactories: [myExtension],
  skillsOverride: () => ({ skills: [], diagnostics: [] }),
  agentsFilesOverride: () => ({ agentsFiles: [] }),
  promptsOverride: () => ({ prompts: [], diagnostics: [] }),
});
await resourceLoader.reload();

const { session } = await createAgentSession({
  model,
  authStorage: customAuth,
  modelRegistry: customRegistry,
  resourceLoader,
  tools: [readTool, bashTool],
  customTools: [{ tool: myTool }],
  sessionManager: SessionManager.inMemory(),
  settingsManager: SettingsManager.inMemory(),
});

// Run prompts
session.subscribe((event) => {
  if (event.type === "message_update" && event.assistantMessageEvent.type === "text_delta") {
    process.stdout.write(event.assistantMessageEvent.delta);
  }
});
await session.prompt("Hello");
```
