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.

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 | $0.00234 | $0.02127 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00117 | $0.01064 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00047 | $0.00425 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00213 |
Grade A, and why
kvm-pilot 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 4d 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 — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
kvm-pilot skill
⚠️ Release candidate — verify against the matrix. The core read paths are live-verified on GL-RM1PE at beta maturity, but many device+capability combos are still unit-tested with mocks only (see the Hardware-Compatibility list for what actually has). Treat every result as unverified, expect bugs, and never point a destructive operation (power, reset, media, keystrokes) at a machine the user can't afford to have power-cycled unexpectedly. Surface each destructive step to the user before executing it.
This skill is a thin wrapper over the installable kvm-pilot package. The code
lives in the package, not here — install it and import it rather than copying
client logic into a script. Vision (screen classification) runs on Claude or
any local OpenAI-compatible VLM — see
references/setup.md.
How to use this skill — read the playbook at need-time
The detailed playbooks live in references/ next to this file, split so you
can read exactly the one the moment calls for instead of holding all of them
in mind. When one of these situations comes up, (re)read its file — even if
you read it hours ago. A fresh read at need-time beats a faded memory,
especially late in a long session:
| Situation | Read |
|---|---|
| Picking how to do an action (screen, HID, media, boot control, logs, SSH) — the full per-action interface matrix, multitasking rules, CLI command set | references/interfaces.md |
| Host dark / wedged / unreachable; a snapshot failed or can't be trusted; before ever asking the user to physically intervene | references/recovery.md |
| Installing the package, registering the MCP server, the full tool list + effect gates, approval cancel/denied handling, first-run orientation | references/setup.md |
| Any OS install through the KVM | references/linux-install.md |
| An installer or answer file asks for locale, keyboard, or timezone | references/target-context.md |
| Driving the Python library directly; worked examples | references/library.md |
What ships with it
6 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.

kvm-pilot is a skill published in the GitHub repository DustinTrap/kvm-pilot (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 234 tokens to every session and 2,127 once invoked, about $0.0012 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 2026-08-31.
