pi-dashboard-bootstrap

pi-dashboard-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code from BlackBeltTechnology/pi-agent-dashboard. It costs 54 tokens per session (326 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup step that starts the local pi-dashboard server before another dashboard action. A local server is a program running on your own computer that provides the dashboard's interface or controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before opening or controlling pi-dashboard, pi sessions, or pi agents, and after a dashboard connection failure.
Why use it?
It prevents dashboard requests from failing simply because the required local service is not running, and explains when a sandbox cannot reach it.

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-dashboard-bootstrap 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 3d 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

Ensure the pi-dashboard server is running

Run exactly this, as ONE foreground Bash call (never run_in_background, never & — the script starts the server detached itself and returns):

sh "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/ensure-dashboard.sh"
  • Exit 0: the output contains BASE=<url>. Use that exact URL for every later dashboard call (shell variables do not survive between Bash calls — write the literal URL each time).
  • Exit 2 (SANDBOX): tell the user this session runs in a sandbox, not on their computer, so it cannot start or reach pi-dashboard; they should use Claude Code on their machine. Do not try workarounds.
  • Exit 1: show the error lines. A cold npx install needs Node >= 22.19 and a C++ toolchain (node-pty).

Then continue with the pi-dashboard skill. If a control call returns 401 / local_proof_required, ask the user to run pi-dashboard token create --label claude-code --tier control and give you the token; send it as -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>". Never write the token to a file or echo it back.

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.
