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

pinecone-assistant 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 6 executable files (scripts/chat.py, scripts/context.py, scripts/create.py, …), 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to assistant — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pinecone Assistant

Pinecone Assistant is a fully managed RAG service. Upload documents, ask questions, get cited answers. No embedding pipelines or infrastructure required.

All scripts are in scripts/ relative to this skill directory. Run with: uv run scripts/script_name.py [arguments]

Whenever this skill asks the user to choose between options, confirm a destructive step, or pick from a list, ask in plain prose, list the options, and wait for their answer before continuing.

Operations

What to do Script Key args
Create an assistant scripts/create.py --name --instructions --region
Upload files scripts/upload.py --assistant --source --patterns
Sync files (incremental) scripts/sync.py --assistant --source --delete-missing --dry-run
Chat / ask a question scripts/chat.py --assistant --message
Get context snippets scripts/context.py --assistant --query --top-k
List assistants scripts/list.py --files --json

For full workflow details on any operation, read the relevant file in references/.


Natural Language Recognition

Proactively handle these patterns without requiring explicit commands:

Create: "create an assistant", "make an assistant called X", "set up an assistant for my docs" → See references/create.md

Upload: "upload my docs", "add files to my assistant", "index my documentation" → See references/upload.md

Sync: "sync my docs", "update my assistant", "keep assistant in sync", "refresh from ./docs" → See references/sync.md

Chat: "ask my assistant about X", "what does my assistant know about X", "chat with X" → See references/chat.md

Context: "search my assistant for X", "find context about X" → See references/context.md

List: "show my assistants", "what assistants do I have" → Run uv run scripts/list.py

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.
