local-extension-development

local-extension-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from patleeman/neon-pilot. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,948 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating and maintaining Neon Pilot extensions and application pages using only the installed desktop app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design, build, check, install, or debug Neon Pilot extensions, pages, application contributions, and complete applications.
Why use it?
It keeps development portable and avoids relying on private source code or files that may not exist on another computer.

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

local-extension-development scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Neon Pilot application authoring

Build against the installed application only. Do not search for or depend on the Neon Pilot repository, private source files, pnpm, workspace packages, or nearby first-party extensions. Never read those sources even if a checkout happens to exist on the machine: that makes the result non-portable and fails the bundled-authoring benchmark. This skill and its references are the complete authoring contract.

Do not extract, grep, decompile, or inspect app.asar, compiled desktop JavaScript, or other private implementation files inside the installed bundle. Packaged declarations, references, templates, CLI output, and runtime behavior are the only authoring contract. If a public component is still underspecified after reading them, use a documented equivalent pattern or report the missing public contract instead of reverse-engineering the host.

Treat the installed Neon Pilot app bundle and every packaged skill/reference/runtime path as read-only. Never create files there, run npm install/pnpm install/yarn, initialize a package, or alter packaged resources to inspect or repair the SDK. Edit only the packageRoot returned by neon-pilot extensions create; use packaged declarations and build errors to choose supported exports.

Load the right references

Read these files relative to this SKILL.md before implementing:

  1. Always read application-model.md and manifest.md.
  2. For any UI, read frontend-ui.md.
  3. For actions, tools, storage, services, settings, filesystem, shell, or network work, read backend.md and the exact public-api.md signatures. For a specialized contribution or backend module not expanded there, read the packaged declarations under references/sdk/: index.d.ts and ui.d.ts define the complete manifest, surface, client, and backend-context contract; backend/<name>.d.ts defines every allowlisted @neon-pilot/extensions/backend/<name> module.
  4. Before finishing, read validation-and-qa.md.

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.
