How it connects to OpenUI
The maintained local harness embeds @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent in a Next.js route, injects the prompt generated from OpenUI's component library, and converts Pi text, reasoning, and tool events into an OpenAI-compatible stream consumed by openAIReadableStreamAdapter(). It exposes real filesystem and shell tools, so the shipped unauthenticated harness must not be exposed to a network as-is.
The integration path
- 1
Describe the interface
Generate a component prompt from the same OpenUI library that will render the response.
- 2
Stream structured output
Let Pi Coding Agent own its part of the stack while OpenUI Lang travels as incremental text or mapped agent events.
- 3
Render and interact
Parse the stream with the matching OpenUI runtime, render real components, and return validated actions to the application.
