customize-pythinker

customize-pythinker is a skill for Claude Code from PyModel/pythinker-cli. It costs 98 tokens per session (1,401 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A configuration guide for changing Pythinker's own agents, permissions, plugins, and lifecycle hooks. It provides the schemas these settings must follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to customize agent YAML files, inheritance, tool permissions, plugin.json, and hook events. It is not for creating new agents or skills.
Why use it?
Pythinker stops starting when its configuration is malformed. This helps you check settings against the real schema and verify that the program still launches after edits.

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

customize-pythinker 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Customize Pythinker

Authoritative, offline schema for editing Pythinker's own configuration surface. Pythinker hard-fails on a malformed config, so get the schema right the first time. This skill covers the config surfaces no other builtin skill owns. Out of scope: authoring agents (use agent-creator), authoring skills (use skill-creator).

Always verify a value against the real schema before writing it. After any edit, confirm Pythinker still starts (a malformed file aborts startup).

Agent YAML (agentspec.py)

An agent spec is a YAML file with a separate system-prompt markdown file. Inheritance lets a project agent extend the builtin one.

Field Type Notes
extend str Agent file to inherit from. "default" inherits the builtin agent. Child fields override parent; system_prompt_args merge by key; subagents merge with child entries winning.
name str Required (or inherited via extend).
system_prompt_path path Required; resolved relative to the YAML file.
system_prompt_args dict[str,str] Conventionally carries ROLE_ADDITIONAL (persona text). Merged when extending.
tools list[str] module:ClassName form, e.g. pythinker_code.tools.file:ReadFile.
allowed_tools / exclude_tools list[str] Narrow the inherited/declared tool set.
model str Optional model alias.
mode primary | subagent | all | hidden Defaults to primary.
hidden bool Optional; hides the agent from default selection. Distinct from mode: hidden.
steps int ≥ 1 Max steps per turn.
temperature float 0–2 Optional.
top_p float 0–1 Optional.
when_to_use str Delegation guidance for the orchestrator.
subagents dict[name → {path, description}] Child subagent map.

Project agents are auto-discovered as *.md files (Claude-style frontmatter) in, by precedence: .pythinker/agents/ > .claude/agents/ > .agents/agents/ > .codex/agents/. A markdown agent whose name matches a builtin subagent type is skipped (the builtin wins); use a distinct name.

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.
