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

tmux-task-manager 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tmux-task-run.sh), 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.

Pi Session Task Manager

Use this skill for work that should keep running instead of blocking the conversation, and that Pi should report back on. Start it as a managed task, then continue other work or end the turn; act on the notification.

When to use it

Work Examples
Long-running task a slow build, a full test suite, a large scan, a migration
Continuous or maintained task a dev server, a watch command, tail -f, a runtime you keep available
Monitoring task check a service, queue, job, disk, or log on an interval
Change watcher watch a file, state, or endpoint and act when it changes
Delayed task or reminder "remind me in 10 minutes", run X after a delay

If the work is long, recurring, or something you would otherwise wait or poll for, it belongs here — unless the user explicitly asked to run it in the foreground or with a non-tmux mechanism. Pi sends a [tmux-task notification] when the task finishes, rings, blocks on input, or disappears.

Start a task

One named task per logical task:

/path/to/this-skill/tmux-task-run.sh <task-name> -- '<command>'

Resolve tmux-task-run.sh relative to this SKILL.md and use that absolute path; do not rely on a PATH command and do not search for another copy. The command runs in your current directory, and its output stays readable after it exits.

Task names: letters, numbers, ., _, -; max 40 chars. Reuse the same name to rerun the same logical task — the helper reuses or replaces the window. A retry or another round is still the same task: do not add -2, -3, or -retry.

/path/to/this-skill/tmux-task-run.sh full-build -- 'pnpm build'
/path/to/this-skill/tmux-task-run.sh dev-server -- 'pnpm dev'
/path/to/this-skill/tmux-task-run.sh queue-drain -- 'while ./queue-busy; do sleep 60; done; echo "queue drained"'
/path/to/this-skill/tmux-task-run.sh health-watch -- 'state=up; while true; do if curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:3000/health; then state=up; elif [ "$state" = up ]; then printf "\a"; state=down; fi; sleep 60; done'

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
