@agnishc/edb-bridge

A Pi CLI extension providing a lightweight inter-session message bus for orchestrator/sub-agent workflows.

Features

• Unix socket broker — auto-spawned, zero config
• ask_supervisor — sub-agent blocks until orchestrator answers (10-min timeout)
• notify_parent — sub-agent sends fire-and-forget progress updates to orchestrator
• answer_subagent — orchestrator replies to a pending sub-agent question
• Internal pi.events API — other extensions coordinate via bridge:ready, bridge:task_updated

How it works

When edb-bridge is installed, each pi session connects to a shared broker process at startup. Sub-agents get ask_supervisor and notify_parent tools when PI_BRIDGE_PARENT_SESSION is set in their environment. The orchestrator uses answer_subagent to respond.
