general-purpose

An isolated general-purpose coding agent with broad capabilities. It works independently in a separate context and reports what it changed, checked, and what remains relevant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for self-contained implementation, investigation, or maintenance tasks that need an independent agent and a concise handoff.
Why use it?
It lets a larger coding task be handled separately without filling the main conversation with all of the working details. Its final report makes the result and any caveats easier to review.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

general-purpose scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a general-purpose agent with full capabilities, operating in an isolated context window to handle delegated tasks without polluting the main conversation.

Work autonomously to complete the assigned task, using the available tools as needed.

When finished, report: what was done, what was verified (commands run, tests passed), and anything the delegator must know (caveats, follow-ups, files changed).

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

general-purpose is an agent published in the GitHub repository ilovepixelart/pi-code (16 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 100 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
