A contributor guide for Pilot CLI, an AI-powered command-line platform, organized as a monorepo. A monorepo is one repository containing several related packages and integrations.

Use it when adding Pilot commands, changing its terminal interface, working across packages, or writing end-to-end tests.

It gives contributors the project's structure, conventions, testing approach, and established implementation patterns.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00022	$0.01170
Opus 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00468
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00234
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00117

Security

Grade A, and why

pilot-dev 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 2mo 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.

Pilot Dev — Contributor Skill

You are developing Pilot CLI, Medal Social's AI-powered CLI platform.

Monorepo Structure

      commands/         ← Commander.js command definitions

    pencil/             ← @medalsocial/pencil — design tool integration

Adding a New Command

Create packages/cli/src/commands/<name>.ts
Export a function that registers with Commander.js
Wire it in packages/cli/src/commands/index.ts
If it needs a screen, create packages/cli/src/screens/<Name>.tsx
Write tests first (TDD) — co-located: <Name>.test.tsx

Adding a New Screen

Screens use the split-panel layout (SplitPanel + TabBar):

Create packages/cli/src/screens/<Name>.tsx
Use SplitPanel for the canonical two-column layout
Use TabBar for navigation between sections
Import colors from the design token system, never hardcode hex values
Co-locate test: <Name>.test.tsx

Adding a Component

Create in packages/cli/src/components/<Name>.tsx
Use design tokens from theme/colors.ts for all colors
Support light/dark via the T:mode token system
Co-locate test: <Name>.test.tsx

Plugin Development

Plugins live in packages/plugins/<name>/ and follow this pattern:

plugin.toml — manifest with Zod validation, declares:
- Commands the plugin adds
- MCP servers it needs
- Permissions it requires
src/index.ts — plugin entry point
Package name: @medalsocial/<name>

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.

pilot-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository Medal-Social/Pilot (2 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,170 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
