cli-pi

cli-pi is a skill for Claude Code, OpenCode from MichelKerkmeester/skilled-agent-harness_spec-driven-loops. It costs 27 tokens per session (4,637 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line controller for Pi, a coding agent that can run in the background and communicate through structured JSON messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for headless coding, independent code reviews, JSON-based integrations, and delegating tasks to Pi's skills and extensions.
Why use it?
It provides a way to delegate coding and review work to another agent while limiting its tools or connecting it to other programs.

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

cli-pi 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.

Pi CLI Orchestrator - Cross-AI Task Delegation

A Pi session MAY dispatch this skill. Pi has no in-process delegation of its own, so the CLI is the only way a Pi session can hand work out; being inside Pi is not a reason to refuse.

What still refuses: the shared runtime rejects a dispatch from inside a fan-out lineage, and one whose kind already appears in the dispatch stack. Those bound a runaway spawn chain and are unchanged. The sibling cli-X packets keep their own guards; this carve-out is Pi's alone.

Orchestrate Pi's terminal coding agent for headless coding, read-only tool-constrained reviews, JSON event-stream integrations, RPC clients, and Pi-native resource discovery. The pinned contract is the source for confirmed command behavior: Pi contract pin. Pi-native skills, prompt templates, and some package surfaces remain documented but unconfirmed unless a source says otherwise.

Core principle: use Pi for the surfaces it exposes, delegate execution to the shared runtime, validate the returned output, and keep the calling AI as conductor.

1. WHEN TO USE

Activation Triggers

  • Headless Pi dispatch: use when the task explicitly requests Pi, pi.dev, or the Pi coding agent.
  • Cross-AI validation: use for an independent implementation attempt, code review, or second opinion through Pi.
  • JSON event output: use when a caller needs Pi's line-delimited event stream.
  • RPC integration: use when a long-lived stdin/stdout protocol is explicitly requested.
  • Pi-native resources: use when the task concerns Pi skills, prompt templates, extensions, or installed packages.
  • Community package delegation: use when the task explicitly names pi-mcp-extension.

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.

cli-pi is a skill published in the GitHub repository MichelKerkmeester/skilled-agent-harness_spec-driven-loops (35 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 4,637 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
