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

pi-cli-workspace 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.

Pi CLI and workspace

Answer only from pi-mono/ sources listed below. If something is not in the tree, say you cannot confirm from the corpus.

Grounding (read in order)

  1. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/README.md — product surface, commands, customization.
  2. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/docs/skills.md — skill locations, /skill:name, frontmatter, collisions.

  4. pi-mono/AGENTS.md — maintainer rules when editing pi-mono itself.
  5. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/docs/compaction.md — auto-compaction triggers, cut-point algorithm, reserveTokens/keepRecentTokens settings, chained compactions, branch summarization.
  6. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/docs/session.md — JSONL session format, ~/.pi/agent/sessions/ paths, entry types (message, compaction, branch_summary, custom, label), buildSessionContext() assembly.
  7. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/docs/tree.md — /tree vs /fork, branch navigation, summarization options, tree UI keybindings.
  8. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/docs/providers.md — subscription OAuth (/login), API-key providers, auth.json, env-var credential table, cloud providers (Azure, Bedrock, Vertex).

  12. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/docs/tmux.md — tmux extended-keys / csi-u so modified keys work inside pi.
  13. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/docs/windows.md — Windows bash discovery order (shellPath setting, Git Bash, PATH).
  14. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/docs/termux.md — running pi on Android via Termux (install, clipboard, storage).

  16. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/docs/development.md — local development setup, pi-test.sh, fork/rebrand via piConfig, test commands.
  17. Implementation (for precedence and prompt wiring):
    • pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/src/core/package-manager.ts — resourcePrecedenceRank comment block (ordering intent).
    • pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/src/core/resource-loader.ts — reload() skill path merge (cliEnabledSkills, enabledSkills, additionalSkillPaths).
    • pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/src/core/skills.ts — loadSkills, formatSkillsForPrompt, name collision handling.
    • pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/src/core/system-prompt.ts — default harness text and hasRead gate for skills XML.
    • pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/src/core/agent-session.ts — _expandSkillCommand inlines /skill:name body.
  18. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/README.md §Editor — @ fuzzy-search, Tab completion, Ctrl+V image paste, !/!! bash commands.
  19. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/README.md §Message Queue — steering (Enter) vs follow-up (Alt+Enter), steeringMode/followUpMode/transport settings.
  20. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/README.md §Modes, §CLI Reference — interactive, -p/--print, --mode json, --mode rpc, piped stdin.
  21. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/README.md §CLI Reference — full flag table, @files, --tools, --no-tools, --no-extensions, --no-skills, --no-prompt-templates, --no-themes, resource control.
  22. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/README.md §Environment Variables — PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR, PI_PACKAGE_DIR, PI_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK, PI_CACHE_RETENTION, VISUAL/EDITOR.
  23. pi-mono/packages/coding-agent/README.md §Philosophy — what core intentionally omits (no MCP, no sub-agents, no permission popups, no plan mode, no built-in todos, no background bash); everything buildable via extensions.

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.
