ace-pm b29c12d5e5 refactor(native): rename gsd_parser.rs to forge_parser.rs
Final rebrand: rename remaining Rust source file to complete the gsd → forge
transition. All parser references already use forge_parser after earlier commits.

@sf-build/rpc-client

Standalone RPC client SDK for SF. Spawn the agent process, perform a v2 protocol handshake, send commands, and consume typed events via an async generator — all in a few lines of TypeScript.

Zero internal dependencies. Ships its own inlined types.

Installation

npm install @sf-build/rpc-client

Quick Start

import { RpcClient } from '@sf-build/rpc-client';

const client = new RpcClient({ cwd: process.cwd() });
await client.start();
const { sessionId } = await client.init({ clientId: 'my-app' });
console.log(`Session: ${sessionId}`);

await client.prompt('Create a hello world script');
for await (const event of client.events()) {
  if (event.type === 'execution_complete') break;
  console.log(event.type);
}
await client.shutdown();

API

Constructor

const client = new RpcClient(options?: RpcClientOptions);
Option Type Description
cliPath string Path to the CLI entry point
cwd string Working directory for the agent
env Record<string, string> Environment variables
provider string AI provider (e.g. "anthropic")
model string Model ID (e.g. "claude-sonnet")
args string[] Additional CLI arguments

Lifecycle

Method Description
start() Spawn the agent process
init(opts?) v2 handshake — returns sessionId, capabilities
shutdown() Graceful shutdown
stop() Force-kill the process

Commands

Method Description
prompt(message, images?) Send a prompt
steer(message, images?) Interrupt with a steering message
followUp(message, images?) Queue a follow-up message
abort() Abort current operation
subscribe(events) Subscribe to event types (["*"] for all)

Events

// Async generator — recommended
for await (const event of client.events()) {
  console.log(event.type);
}

// Callback-based
const unsubscribe = client.onEvent((event) => {
  console.log(event.type);
});

Helpers

Method Description
waitForIdle(timeout?) Wait for agent_end event
collectEvents(timeout?) Collect events until idle
promptAndWait(message, images?, t?) Send prompt and collect events

Session & Model

Method Description
getState() Get session state
setModel(provider, modelId) Set model
cycleModel() Cycle to next model
getAvailableModels() List available models
setThinkingLevel(level) Set thinking level
cycleThinkingLevel() Cycle thinking level
compact(instructions?) Compact session context
getSessionStats() Get session statistics
bash(command) Execute a bash command
newSession(parent?) Start a new session
sendUIResponse(id, response) Respond to extension UI requests

Type Exports

import type {
  RpcCommand,
  RpcResponse,
  RpcInitResult,
  RpcExecutionCompleteEvent,
  RpcCostUpdateEvent,
  RpcV2Event,
  SessionStats,
