Quick-start guide for building runner services — daemon background processes that ship inside pi packages. For full SDK reference (pi core events, tools, UI, PizzaPi host detection, service messaging), use the extension-sdk-reference skill. This skill covers practical patterns for panels, triggers, sigils, and service lifecycle.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Creating Runner Services **See also:** [extension-sdk-reference](../extension-sdk-reference/SKILL.md) for the complete SDK reference covering pi core extension API, PizzaPi host detection, service messaging, approvals, and connectivity bridge examples. A runner service is a background process on the runner daemon. It can expose an interactive **UI panel** in the web interface, advertise **custom triggers** agent sessions subscribe to, and define **sigils** the UI renders as `[[type:id]]` inline tokens. **A service loads exactly one way: inside a pi package that declares it under `pi.pizzapi.services`, granted daemon-service trust.** There is no loose-file discovery — no `~/.pizzapi/services/` directory, no `manifest.json`, and the old `ExtensionProvider` / `~/.pizzapi/providers/` API is gone. Service code runs on the daemon, outside any session sandbox, so it needs an explicit trust grant that a package install can carry and a loose file cannot. "Overlay package" and "runner service" are one feature at two layers: the `pi.pizzapi` overlay is the packaging/trust container (it can also carry agents, rules, MCP); a runner service is one capability declared inside it. …

How to install
mdr add pizzaface/pizzapi/creating-runner-services@sha256:8b5ac5deca890da5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.d2fc60a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
