badlogic/pi-skills is a collection of reusable skills that extend pi-coding-agent and work with several other coding agents. Developers use it to give agents capabilities such as web search, browser automation, Google service access, transcription, VS Code integration, and YouTube transcript retrieval.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00023 | $0.00289 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00144 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00058 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00029 |
Grade A, and why
vscode 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 6d 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
VS Code CLI Tools
Tools for integrating with VS Code, primarily for viewing diffs.
Requirements
VS Code must be installed with the code CLI available in PATH.
Opening a Diff
Compare two files side by side in VS Code:
code -d <file1> <file2>
Git Diffs in VS Code
Simple Approach (no config needed)
Extract the old version to a temp file, then diff:
# Compare with previous commit
git show HEAD~1:path/to/file > /tmp/old && code -d /tmp/old path/to/file
# Compare with specific commit
git show abc123:path/to/file > /tmp/old && code -d /tmp/old path/to/file
# Compare staged version with working tree
git show :path/to/file > /tmp/staged && code -d /tmp/staged path/to/file
Gotchas
- File must exist and have changes between the compared revisions
- Use
git log --oneline -5 -- path/to/fileto verify file has history before diffing
When to Use
- Showing the user what changed in a file
- Comparing two versions of code
- Reviewing git changes visually
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.

vscode is a skill published in the GitHub repository badlogic/pi-skills (2,487 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 289 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.
