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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00081 | $0.04349 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.01740 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00870 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00435 |
Grade A, and why
dashboard-plugin-scaffold scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 14d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
3. pi-dashboard restart # restart dashboard server (a bare curl to /api/restart is refused) How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 296 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dashboard Plugin Scaffold
Two modes, one skill. Mode new scaffolds packages/<id>-plugin/ inside the dashboard monorepo. Mode augment retrofits an existing pi-extension at the current working directory with a pi-dashboard-plugin manifest field and a src/dashboard/ React subtree. An augmented project lives outside the dashboard monorepo, so its client is runtime-delivered: a prebuilt bundle (dist/client/) built with the SDK preset, loaded by the stock dashboard.
Server TypeScript must be erasable. The dashboard server loads a plugin's
serverentry with Node's strip-only TypeScript loader, so plugin server code must not useenum, runtimenamespace, or constructor parameter properties, and must import type-only symbols withimport type. A plugin that does fails to load in isolation (the error names the file). The templates already comply; keep them that way when editing.
Step 1 — Up-front ask_user batch
Use the ask_user tool, method batch, with these questions in order:
| # | Method | Title | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | select | "Mode" | options: ["new — scaffold a fresh packages/<id>-plugin/ in this dashboard monorepo", "augment — retrofit an existing pi-extension at cwd with dashboard plugin contributions"] |
| 2 | input | "Plugin id (kebab-case)" | (mode new only) — validated ^[a-z][a-z0-9-]*$, must not collide with existing packages/<id>-plugin/ |
| 3 | input | "Display name" | (mode new only) — free text, e.g. "Acme Plugin" |
| 4 | input | "Priority (default 100; lower = earlier)" | (mode new only) — integer string |
| 5 | multiselect | "Slot claims" | (mode new only) — options: see references/slot-taxonomy.md for the 10 React slots |
| 6 | confirm | "Scaffold a server entry (REST routes + WS handlers)?" | (mode new only) — default true |
| 7 | confirm | "Scaffold a bridge entry (pi extension that loads in every pi session)?" | (mode new only) — default false, high blast radius |
| 8 | confirm | "Scaffold a configSchema.json?" | (mode new only) — default true |
| 9 | select | "Embedded app scope" | (mode new only) — options: ["none — no embedded app", "global — one app, not tied to a folder", "project-type — an app on every folder of a project type (marker files)", "project-specific — an app on one project (a declared project id)"]. See Embedded app scope. |
| 10 | input | "Project type (^[a-z][a-z0-9-]{0,63}$)" | scope project-type only |
| 11 | input | "Marker patterns, one per line (1–16; max 3 segments, * inside a segment only, no **, no .git/node_modules)" |
scope project-type only, e.g. model/*.judo |
| 12 | input | "Project id (^[a-z][a-z0-9-]{0,63}$)" | scope project-specific only |
| 13 | input | "Absolute folder to write the project id into (empty = do not write)" | scope project-specific only |
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

dashboard-plugin-scaffold is a skill published in the GitHub repository BlackBeltTechnology/pi-agent-dashboard (341 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 4,349 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
