widget-rendering SKILL.md skillA

widget-rendering from baphuongna/pi-crew is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add baphuongna/pi-crew/widget-rendering@git:20260911.c97bc57

Pins git:20260911.c97bc57 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Pi TUI crew widget data sources, display priority, and rendering performance. When NOT to use: non-TUI displays; backend data sources without widget context (use runtime-state-reader).

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

# widget-rendering

The crew widget (`src/ui/crew-widget.ts`) displays active runs and their agents in the Pi TUI. It must render synchronously at TTY refresh rate without blocking. Understanding the data sources and timing rules is essential for debugging display issues.

## Three Data Sources

The widget has three sources, used in priority order:

### 1. `liveAgents` Map (real-time, highest priority)

In-memory map from `live-agent-manager.ts`. Provides:
- Real-time tool names: `activeTools` Map (toolName → description)
- Turn count, response text, compaction count
- Session stats: context %, token usage
- Status from the handle

**When used:** Agents with `liveHandle && liveHandle.status === "running"` get the live activity description (tool labels, response text, turn counter).

**When NOT used:** After `evictStaleLiveAgentHandles()` removes a handle, widget falls back to agent records on disk.

### 2. Snapshot cache (1500ms TTL)

`RunSnapshotCache` from `run-snapshot-cache.ts` caches parsed manifests and agents for 1500ms. Reduces disk reads during rapid refresh.

**When used:** As the fallback when no live handle exists. Prevents excessive disk reads on every render tick.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add baphuongna/pi-crew/widget-rendering@sha256:fbe0a4868aa994b6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.c97bc57, 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.
