 "title": "Feed agent events into a script as JSON",
 "page_title": "How to feed agent events into a script as JSON with Pi Rust",
 "summary": "Use the JSON output mode to get a machine-readable event stream from a one-shot run.",
 "who": "A DevOps or automation engineer who wants to run the agent from a script and parse its output without scraping plain text.",
 "problem": "Plain terminal output is hard to parse reliably in automation.",
 "outcome": "A script receives the agent's events as a JSON stream it can process.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the CLI with `cargo install rpi-cli`",
  "Set a model key, for example `export OPENAI_API_KEY=...` (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `rpi --mode json -p \"list the crates\"` and capture stdout",
  "Parse the captured stream in your script, one event per line if the output follows the README's description of an event stream"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the bigfish1913/pi-rust CLI, run `rpi --mode json -p \"<prompt>\"` in <repo-path> and save the output to <output-file>. Expected output: a machine-readable event stream. Verify that the file is non-empty and that each line parses as JSON before using it downstream.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README describes the JSON mode only as a machine-readable event stream, so check the event schema in the user guide before relying on specific field names.",

  "Rust 1.78 or later, for installing from crates.io",
  "An ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY, or a ~/.rpi/agent/models.json file, for live model calls",
