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.

SkillSpector: 12 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high YARA Match · line 3 YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.

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 | $0.00089 | $0.01739 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00036 | $0.00696 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00348 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00174 |
Grade A, and why
debug-dashboard 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Debug Dashboard
System-level debugging for the running pi-agent-dashboard. Three layers:
flowchart TD
L1["Layer 1 - Is the server alive?<br/>npx tsx ./scripts/health-probe.ts<br/>npx tsx ./scripts/tail-server-log.ts"]
L2["Layer 2 - Are the bridges connecting?<br/>npx tsx ./scripts/list-sessions.ts<br/>npx tsx ./scripts/tail-server-log.ts --errors"]
L3["Layer 3 - Is the UI rendering?<br/>(use the browser skill)"]
L1 --> L2 --> L3
First moves — always run these
npx tsx ./scripts/health-probe.ts # mode + uptime + version, or "not-running"
npx tsx ./scripts/tail-server-log.ts # last 50 lines of current run
npx tsx ./scripts/list-sessions.ts # connected pi sessions via REST
Scripts are TypeScript (cross-platform). All invocations use
npx tsxso they work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.tsxis already a project dep.
If health-probe says "not-running" → server isn't up. Check server.log for the most recent start banner ([bootstrap] ready ...) and what came after. The log appends with timestamped headers per start, so the last banner block is the relevant one.
When the server is up but misbehaving
| Symptom | Likely cause | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Restart loops | Stale port held by zombie, or restart racing with bridge auto-start |
lsof -i :8000, then pi-dashboard stop (kills owned port holders, not just PID; --force is a dangerous last resort, see known-issues.md) |
EADDRINUSE on start |
Concurrent spawn from multiple pi sessions | Harmless — losing process exits silently. Check log. |
| Bridge connects then disconnects | server_restarting broadcast active, or version skew |
grep server_restarting in server.log; check /api/health for version |
| Blank page in browser | Vite not running in dev mode (silent fallback to prod build); or auth blocking | Check /api/health.mode; check auth settings |
New session won't start / yellow spawn_register_timeout, no card |
pi crashed at startup (bad extension) OR host overload |
See references/known-issues.md → "New session won't start" — manual pi --mode rpc run splits crash vs overload |
Cannot connect to dashboard server on Electron boot |
launchDashboardServer fell back to process.execPath (Electron GUI binary) |
See references/known-issues.md → "Electron Node bin selection" |
| Fastify crashes immediately | Bad Node version (22.0–22.17.x or 24.1–24.2.x per nodejs/node#58515) | node --version — must be ≥ 22.18.0 |
server.log: PI_DASHBOARD_TS_LOADER is no longer supported |
Legacy env var set; server ignores it (jiti server loader removed) | Unset PI_DASHBOARD_TS_LOADER from launch env; pi-dashboard stop && pi-dashboard start |
server.log: server booted under the jiti TypeScript loader |
Pre-upgrade server handed its jiti --import on restart |
pi-dashboard stop && pi-dashboard start (next restart normalizes to native) |

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.

debug-dashboard is a skill published in the GitHub repository BlackBeltTechnology/pi-agent-dashboard (326 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,739 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
