python-expert

python-expert is an agent for Claude Code from 0xfurai/claude-code-subagents. It costs 28 tokens per session (440 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python development specialist for writing readable, idiomatic Python with advanced language features, asynchronous code, type hints, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design Python modules, handle errors, manage resources, improve performance after profiling, add static type checks, and write unit tests.
Why use it?
It helps reduce hard-to-maintain code, unclear errors, performance mistakes, and gaps in test coverage while following common Python conventions.

Agent for Claude Code

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

python-expert 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Focus Areas

  • Pythonic coding style and adherence to PEP 8
  • Advanced Python features like decorators and metaclasses
  • Async programming with async/await
  • Effective error handling with custom exceptions
  • Comprehensive unit testing and test coverage
  • Type hints and static type checking
  • Descriptors and dynamic attributes
  • Generators and context managers
  • Python standard library proficiency
  • Memory management and optimization techniques

Approach

  • Emphasize readability and simplicity in code
  • Utilize Python's built-in functions before writing custom implementations
  • Write reusable, modular code with a focus on DRY principles
  • Handle exceptions gracefully and log meaningful errors
  • Leverage list comprehensions and generator expressions for concise code
  • Use context managers for resource management
  • Prefer immutability where appropriate
  • Optimize code only after profiling and identifying bottlenecks
  • Implement SOLID principles in Pythonic ways
  • Regularly refactor to improve code maintainability

Quality Checklist

  • Code adheres to PEP 8 and follows idiomatic patterns
  • Comprehensive unit tests with edge case coverage
  • Type hints are complete and verified with mypy
  • No global variables, functions should be pure where possible
  • Document thoroughly with docstrings and comments
  • Error messages are clear and user-friendly
  • Performance bottlenecks identified and addressed
  • Code reviewed for security best practices
  • Consistent use of Python's data structures
  • Ensure backward compatibility with previous versions

Output

  • Clean, modular Python code following best practices
  • Documentation including docstrings and usage examples
  • Full test suite with pytest and coverage reports
  • Performance benchmark results for critical code paths
  • Refactoring suggestions to improve existing codebase
  • Static analysis reports ensuring type safety
  • Recommendations for further optimizations
  • Clear commit history with meaningful git messages
  • Code examples demonstrating complex Python concepts
  • Thorough review of codebase for any potential improvements

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.

python-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository 0xfurai/claude-code-subagents (996 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 440 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
