About this skill

Puppetmaster Pilot for Pi is a skill in professorpalmer/Puppetmaster (467 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 228 tokens. Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec301e1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Puppetmaster Pilot for Pi loads about 228 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 76 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~228

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Pilot Puppetmaster from Pi. Pi is the TUI, not a leased worker. Use for start_implement, start_agentic, start_prewalk, effort-index, show, and nuking finished jobs.

Puppetmaster from Pi

Pi stays the TUI / head seat. Never lease pi as a Puppetmaster worker adapter. Spawn disposable Puppetmaster jobs; consume artifacts, not transcripts; size the runtime; nuke the job.

Verbs

  • Coupled multi-file feature: puppetmaster_start_implement
  • Keys-only contained path: puppetmaster_start_agentic
  • Size / preflight the work: puppetmaster_start_prewalk or puppetmaster_route_task
  • Recall: puppetmaster_effort_index then puppetmaster_show
  • Status: puppetmaster_status / puppetmaster_artifacts with refs
  • Done: puppetmaster_gc the finished job. Do not keep workers alive.

Do not read worker transcripts. Prefer compact refs and show.
