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

native-web-search 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (search.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Use this skill to run a fast model with native web search enabled and get a concise research summary with explicit full URLs.

Script

  • search.mjs

Usage

Run from this skill directory:

node search.mjs "<what to search>" --purpose "<why you need this>"

Examples:

node search.mjs "latest python release" --purpose "update dependency notes"
node search.mjs "vite 7 breaking changes" --purpose "prepare migration checklist"

Optional flags:

  • --provider openai-codex|anthropic
  • --model <model-id>
  • --timeout <ms>
  • --json

Output expectations

The script instructs the model to:

  • search the internet for the requested topic
  • provide a concise summary for the given purpose
  • include full canonical URLs (https://...) for each key finding
  • highlight disagreements between sources

Notes

  • No extra npm install is required.
  • If module resolution fails, set PI_AI_MODULE_PATH to @earendil-works/pi-ai's dist/index.js path.
  • If OAuth helper resolution fails, set PI_AI_OAUTH_MODULE_PATH to @earendil-works/pi-ai's dist/oauth.js path.
  • For OAuth providers, the script can fall back to a still-valid cached access token from ~/.pi/agent/auth.json.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

Changes

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.
