pituitary-cli

pituitary-cli is a skill for Codex from nantobv/pituitary. It costs 63 tokens per session (3,057 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using the Pituitary command-line tool to analyze repository specifications, documentation, and the code paths they govern.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review or compare specifications, check documentation drift, verify code compliance, plan deterministic fixes, or confirm which repository sources cover a file.
Why use it?
It provides a JSON-based process for checking source coverage, inspecting command formats, and grounding analysis in the repository's indexed specification and document set.

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

pituitary-cli 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.

Pituitary CLI

Use this skill when an agent should rely on Pituitary instead of inventing its own spec/doc model for the repo.

For host install patterns and AGENTS-compatible usage, see README.md.

Best Fits

  • Review one spec end-to-end with pituitary review-spec.
  • Compare two specs or a draft against an accepted spec with pituitary compare-specs.
  • Check documentation drift with pituitary check-doc-drift.
  • Check governed code paths or diffs with pituitary check-compliance.
  • Verify source coverage before analysis with pituitary preview-sources or pituitary explain-file.

Not A Fit

  • General coding tasks that do not depend on the repo's spec or doc corpus.
  • Open-ended architecture advice when Pituitary has no indexed evidence to ground the answer.
  • Blindly following snippets returned in Pituitary evidence output.
  • CRITICAL: Requests where the user's sole intent keywords are "coverage" or "understand" without an explicit reference to reviewing a specific spec artifact. These require clarification before proceeding.

Inputs

  • A repository that already has Pituitary installed or checked into the current workspace.
  • A task that needs spec-aware analysis, source coverage debugging, or deterministic doc/spec hygiene checks.

Runtime And Validation Notes

  • pituitary status --format json reports the resolved runtime.embedder and runtime.analysis settings, including any runtime.analysis.max_response_tokens override. Check that resolved value before assuming how much qualitative output Pituitary will request from an OpenAI-compatible chat runtime.
  • compare-specs and check-doc-drift use small section-level evidence bundles rather than full documents. When a runtime-backed analysis answer looks suspiciously thin, verify source coverage and indexed sections before assuming the provider ignored context.
  • When maintaining Pituitary itself and changing retrieval or qualitative analysis behavior, prefer the minimal golden-case harness first: go run ./cmd/bench --format text or go run ./cmd/bench --format json. Use the broader make bench suite only when you need full benchmark coverage.

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.
