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 | $0.00070 | $0.00822 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00035 | $0.00411 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00164 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00082 |
Grade A, and why
session-reader 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 2d 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 — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Read Pi Sessions
Parse pi session JSONL files into readable output. Sessions live in ~/.pi/agent/sessions/<project>/ as .jsonl files.
Step 1: Find the Session
ls -t ~/.pi/agent/sessions/*<project>*/*.jsonl | head -10
Step 2: Start with Table of Contents
Always start with toc to get a numbered map of the session:
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/read_session.py <path> --mode toc
This prints a compact numbered list of every user exchange with timestamps and tools used.
Step 3: Read the Conversation
Default mode — shows only user messages and assistant text responses. Tool calls are hidden but hinted at with [used: tool1, tool2].
# Full conversation (default mode)
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/read_session.py <path>
# Specific range
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/read_session.py <path> --offset 5 --limit 3
# Search for specific topic
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/read_session.py <path> --search "error"
Step 4: Drill Into a Turn
See everything about a specific exchange — thinking, tool calls, tool results, costs:
uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/read_session.py <path> --mode turn --turn 7

What ships with it
2 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.
- 2d ago First seen · 92 lines · 70 tokens per session scan A 511277853019
session-reader is a skill published in the GitHub repository HazAT/pi-config (443 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 822 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
