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

evaluate-extension 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 1mo ago.

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

Avaliar Extensão / Skill Pi

Use este skill para produzir uma avaliação estruturada de qualquer pacote pi — extensão, skill, tema ou prompt.

Quando Usar

  • Usuário encontrou um pacote novo e quer saber se vale incluir na stack
  • Curadoria ativa: comparando duas soluções que resolvem o mesmo problema
  • Preparando uma migração de terceiro para first-party

Processo

1. Coletar Informações

# Ver package.json e manifesto pi
npm view <pacote> --json | head -50

# Clonar ou cachear para leitura
gh repo view <owner/repo> --json description,url

# Ver estrutura
find . -not -path '*/node_modules/*' | head -40

2. Avaliar com Critérios

Produzir avaliação com este scorecard:

Critério Score (1-5) Observação
Utilidade — resolve um problema real?
Sobreposição — tem overlap com algo que já temos?
Qualidade — código limpo, sem hacks?
Manutenção — commits recentes, issues tratados?
Composição — funciona bem com o resto da stack?
Licença — compatível (MIT, Apache)?
Plataforma — funciona no Windows?

3. Classificar

  • Incluir na stack — adicionar ao pi-stack como dependência
  • Referência — manter como inspiração, não incluir diretamente
  • Migrar — bom o suficiente para virar first-party
  • Rejeitar — overlap sem valor incremental, ou qualidade insuficiente

4. Documentar

Resultado vai para docs/research/pi-extension-scorecard.md ou como issue no repositório.

Aviso sobre Slop

Extensões de baixa qualidade existem no ecossistema. Sinais de alerta:

  • Sem README ou com README genérico
  • Sem testes ou CI
  • Código gerado por LLM sem curadoria visível de pessoas
  • Registra tools genéricas demais (ex.: "do anything")
  • Conflita com ferramentas built-in sem motivo claro
  • Sem licença explícita

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.
