Pynchy Ops

Pynchy Ops is a skill for Claude Code from crypdick/pynchy. It costs 110 tokens per session (4,976 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

An operations guide for running the live Pynchy service, including deployment, logs, service status, authentication, containers, and the LiteLLM proxy. LiteLLM is a proxy that routes requests to language models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Deploying changes, observing logs, checking status, restarting services, setting up GitHub authentication, rebuilding agent containers, and investigating failed model requests.
Why use it?
It provides the deployment-specific checks and commands needed to operate Pynchy safely across server and Kubernetes environments.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: positional $N argument.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./src/pynchy/agent/build.sh.

Good fit Deploying changes, observing logs, checking status, restarting services, setting up GitHub authentication, rebuilding agent containers, and investigating failed model requests.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 B, and why

Pynchy Ops scanned grade B 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 1mo 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 429 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pynchy Ops

The live Pynchy host and checkout path are deployment-specific. Public repo instructions must not assume a private hostname or home-directory layout. Set PYNCHY_HOST and PYNCHY_REMOTE_ROOT from local memory, environment, or the operator before running remote commands.

Deployment Mode Gate

First check whether the authenticated local control-plane socket is available (see Quick Status Check below). Reading local status does not require an SSH profile. Identify the deployment before remote operations or changes. A pynchy Kubernetes namespace means the Kubernetes path applies:

PYNCHY_HOST="${PYNCHY_HOST:?set the live host}"
ssh "$PYNCHY_HOST" 'sudo k3s kubectl get namespace pynchy'

For Kubernetes deployments:

  • Read Kubernetes installation and operations.
  • Treat SCHEDULER__AUTO_DEPLOY=false as authoritative. A Git pull updates the persistent checkout but does not replace the running image.
  • Use sudo k3s kubectl -n pynchy; do not use pynchy deploy, LaunchAgent commands, standalone systemd commands, or direct container deletion.
  • A successful push to main publishes immutable images. The namespace-scoped pynchy-release-monitor CronJob preflights and releases them.
  • Do not manually patch the Deployment or delete a Pod for a normal release. Observe the monitor Job, rollout, exact release annotation, and application status.
  • The monitor applies the selected release’s deploy/k3s/application manifests, including probes, with its images. Namespace, storage, Secret, RBAC, Pocket TTS, and private MCP image changes remain explicit operator work; follow the application release boundary.
  • Keep unrelated Docker Compose and Dockge services outside Kubernetes.

The standalone sections below apply only when the live host has no Kubernetes Pynchy Deployment.

Standalone Auto-deploy: Never Restart Manually

Pynchy self-manages. Two mechanisms trigger automatic restarts:

What ships with it

3 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.

Changes

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.

Pynchy Ops is a skill published in the GitHub repository crypdick/pynchy (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 4,976 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
