Reusable GitHub Actions packaging for running the pi coding agent from /pi ... comments with minimal per-repository setup.

The workflow now uses a routed agent model:

• general: fallback agent for mixed or ambiguous requests
• ask: answers questions, reviews code, and explains behavior
• build: makes repository changes for implementation requests
• plan: produces scoped implementation plans without coding by default

The general router decides which agent to invoke based on the comment text.

• action.yml: root composite action so consuming repositories can use W3Dev/pi-agent@main.
• .github/workflows/pi-comment-agent.yml: reusable workflow that screens /pi comments, authorizes supported users, resolves PR metadata, installs pi, runs the routed agent flow, optionally pushes changes, and posts a comment back.
• scripts/pi-agent-runner.sh: shared shell runner that routes requests to ask, build, plan, or general.
• examples/caller-workflow.yml: tiny trigger-only wrapper for consuming repositories.

Create these in the consuming repository:

• Repository secret: PI_MODEL_JSON
• Repository variable: PI_ALLOW_PUSH with true or false
• Workflow file copied from examples/caller-workflow.yml

The caller workflow is responsible only for:

• listening to issue_comment and pull_request_review_comment
• checking out the repository
• calling the root action in this repo

The action is responsible for:

• checking whether the comment starts with /pi
• authorizing supported comment authors (OWNER, MEMBER, COLLABORATOR)
• extracting event metadata and resolving PR branch details
• installing pi
• writing ~/.pi/agent/models.json
• listing available models for debugging
• collecting git context for the agent
• running the shared runner script
• routing the request to the best-fit agent
• optionally committing and pushing changes on PR branches
• posting the final markdown report back to the issue or PR

Defaults:

• pi_cli_version: 0.58.3
• pi_model: zai/glm-5
• push disabled unless PI_ALLOW_PUSH=true

Minimal wrapper:

jobs:
  pi:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: W3Dev/pi-agent@main
        with:
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          pi-model-json: ${{ secrets.PI_MODEL_JSON }}
          pi-allow-push: ${{ vars.PI_ALLOW_PUSH || 'false' }}

Example requests:

• /pi explain why this workflow fails on forked PRs
• /pi add support for /pi plan comments in the caller workflow
• /pi plan how to split the runner into reusable prompt templates

• The root action syntax is uses: W3Dev/pi-agent@main. The .github/workflows/...@main form is only for reusable workflows.
• GitHub still requires the consuming repository to define the event trigger workflow on its default branch. This repo keeps that wrapper as small as possible, but it cannot remove that GitHub platform requirement.
