papi-idea

papi-idea is a skill for Claude Code from getpapi/papi. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,009 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for drafting reusable agent skills and registering ideas or documents in PAPI, a project-management system. It explains when to create a reviewable SKILL.md file and when to save a finished document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft reusable methods, file research or backlog ideas, register completed documents, and verify that saved content matches the intended project.
Why use it?
It prevents vague requests from becoming the wrong kind of backlog item or note. It also avoids silently installing, running, publishing, or saving unfinished work.

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

papi-idea 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 today.

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.

Reusable skill or method drafts

When the user asks to make, create, write, or draft a reusable skill or method, produce a reviewable SKILL.md through the caller's native file/skill mechanism. An ambiguous artifact request should not become a generic idea or note. The idea tool recognizes this intent in unstructured text and returns bounded drafting guidance without writing a backlog task or document. It does not generate the artifact through a server-side model.

Read the target project's own canon and tailor the draft to the actual request. Include frontmatter name and description with an invocation trigger, purpose, required inputs, ordered steps, expected result, scope boundaries, and concrete verification. Keep reusable methods project-agnostic; resolve project-specific paths and policies when invoked. Show the finished draft for review. Do not install, execute, or publish it implicitly.

When the user requests saving in PAPI, register the finalized complete body with existing doc_register as framework or guide, private by default, and verify exact project-scoped body read-back. Use the existing docs index convention for a saved workspace document. No separate skill entity is needed.

Explicit requests to file a task or bug remain FILE-ONLY, including “file a task to fix skill installation.” Structured type, discovery, or scope_class=task also retains its existing intake route. Draft creation and backlog filing are distinct caller intents.

Idea Pipeline (unlocked at cycle 21)

The idea tool is your backlog intake — not just for features, but bugs, research, and big ideas.

FILE-ONLY mode for filing requests

When the user explicitly asks to file, submit, capture, or add an idea, bug, research item, or document to the backlog, enter FILE-ONLY mode for that request:

  • Gather only the minimum intake information and perform the required project-scoped PAPI operation, including the receipt, duplicate check, Reference: line, and any required documentation-index maintenance.
  • Do not read source files or inspect the implementation. Do not edit source or configuration files, create a branch or commit, run tests or builds, or begin implementing the filed item.
  • After the filing operation is recorded, stop and report the durable result. Do not continue into implementation unless the user explicitly asks to build or fix 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.
