pi-extension-lifecycle

pi-extension-lifecycle is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from baphuongna/pi-crew. It costs 12 tokens per session (515 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to registering tools, commands, shortcuts, widgets, data providers, and event handlers in Pi extensions. It also describes how extensions should behave when a session changes or ends.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or maintaining a Pi extension, especially its setup code, session handling, cleanup, or tool definitions.
Why use it?
It helps prevent extensions from using outdated session data or leaving timers, event listeners, processes, and file watchers running. It also keeps registration code organized and compatible with optional Pi APIs.

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

pi-extension-lifecycle 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 10d 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.

pi-extension-lifecycle

Use this skill when working on Pi extension registration or lifecycle behavior.

Source patterns distilled

  • Pi core: source/pi/packages/coding-agent/src/core/extensions/types.ts, loader.ts, runner.ts
  • Pi examples: source/pi/packages/coding-agent/examples/extensions/
  • pi-crew extension entry: src/extension/register.ts, src/extension/registration/*.ts

Rules

  • Register tools, commands, shortcuts, widgets, providers, and event handlers from the extension factory or lifecycle callbacks.
  • Tool definitions should use a TypeBox schema and an execute(toolCallId, params, signal, onUpdate, ctx) handler.
  • Use fresh ExtensionContext/ExtensionCommandContext after session replacement (newSession, fork, switchSession, reload). Do not retain old context references for later work.
  • For session-scoped work, derive session identity from ctx.sessionManager.getSessionId() and pass it into pi-crew TeamContext.
  • Prefer small registration modules under src/extension/registration/; keep index.ts minimal.
  • Clean up intervals, event subscriptions, child processes, and watchers on session switch/shutdown.
  • Wrap optional Pi API hooks in compatibility checks/try-catch when supporting older Pi versions.

Enforcement — Pi Extension Lifecycle Gate

Before registering tools or handling session lifecycle, verify:

  • ExtensionContext/ExtensionCommandContext fresh after session replacement
  • No stale context references retained after session switch/fork/reload
  • Cleanup registered for intervals, subscriptions, child processes, watchers
  • Tool/command names unique (no duplicate registrations)
  • No blocking filesystem/network work in extension render callbacks

If ANY answer is NO → Stop. Fix lifecycle issues before proceeding.

Anti-patterns

  • Do not use stale context objects after session switch.
  • Do not register duplicate tool/command names and assume override behavior.
  • Do not perform blocking filesystem or network work inside extension render callbacks.
  • Do not add hardcoded global keybindings without config or collision review.

pi-extension-lifecycle is a skill published in the GitHub repository baphuongna/pi-crew (52 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 515 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.
