 "title": "Run a one-shot coding task from the terminal",
 "page_title": "How to run a one-shot coding task from the terminal with Pi Rust",
 "summary": "Install the rpi CLI and send it a single task from the shell with a model API key.",
 "who": "A developer who wants a coding agent in the terminal to answer questions about a project or make a small change.",
 "problem": "Setting up an agent usually means wiring up SDKs or web tools before any work gets done.",
 "outcome": "A one-line command returns the agent's answer for the task in the terminal.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `cargo install rpi-cli`",
  "Run `rpi --version` to confirm the install",
  "Run `export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...` or `export OPENAI_API_KEY=...` with your own key (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `rpi -p \"summarize the README\"` from the project directory"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Install rpi-cli from the bigfish1913/pi-rust repository using cargo, then run `rpi -p \"<task>\"` in <project-directory> with the API key set. Expected output: a text answer to the task. Verify that `rpi --version` prints a version before running the task.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README's interactive TUI and sessions need a configured provider, so the first run will not work without a key or a models.json file.",

 "lang": "rust",
 "requirements": [
  "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",
  "Git, to clone the repository for the offline examples"
