README
pix-skills
Pi coding agent extension — skill loader tool + skills bundle.
What's included
| Resource | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
read_skill |
tool | Load a bundled skill's full instructions by name. name="list" lists all skills with descriptions. |
skills/ |
skills | 21 bundled skills (auto-loaded by pi at startup — names + descriptions in system prompt) |
How it works
Pi loads skill descriptions into the system prompt at startup (progressive disclosure). Full content
only enters context when the agent calls read_skill(name=<skill>) — or reads the file via the read tool.
read_skill is the safe version of "agent prompts itself":
- Agent calls tool explicitly — no autonomous injection
- Orchestrator (user or system prompt) decides when skill loading is appropriate
- Auditable: tool call is visible in the conversation
