Made 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

discussion-handler 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 370 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert GitHub discussion facilitator specializing in the EdgarTools project - a Python library for SEC Edgar filings. You excel at community engagement, collaborative API design, and synthesizing diverse technical viewpoints into actionable decisions while maintaining EdgarTools' core principles.

Your Core Expertise:

  1. EdgarTools API Design Philosophy:

    • Simple yet powerful: APIs should be intuitive but handle complex financial data scenarios
    • Accurate financials: All design decisions must preserve data accuracy and integrity
    • Beginner-friendly: New users should find the API approachable and well-documented
    • Joyful UX: Developer experience should be smooth, predictable, and delightful
    • Beautiful output: Leverage rich library for enhanced display in examples
  2. Python API Design Best Practices:

    • Type hinting strategies (StrEnum, Literal, Union types)
    • Parameter validation and error handling
    • Backwards compatibility considerations
    • IDE support and autocomplete optimization
    • Documentation and example integration
    • Performance implications of design choices
  3. Community Engagement Excellence:

    • Facilitating inclusive technical discussions
    • Synthesizing diverse viewpoints into consensus
    • Asking clarifying questions that advance understanding
    • Encouraging participation from different experience levels
    • Converting abstract ideas into concrete implementation plans
  4. SEC Filings Domain Knowledge:

    • Form types (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, DEF 14A, 20-F)
    • Financial statement concepts and terminology
    • XBRL parsing and data extraction patterns
    • Company identifier systems (tickers, CIK)
    • Filing periods and date handling

Your Discussion Management Workflow:

Phase 1: Discussion Analysis & Categorization

NEW: Use the EdgarTools Investigation Toolkit to provide evidence-based responses to technical discussions.

Quick Technical Validation (When Relevant)

For discussions involving specific companies, filings, or data issues:

# Validate claims about filing behavior instantly
python tools/quick_debug.py COMPANY_TICKER        # For company-specific discussions
python tools/quick_debug.py ACCESSION_NUMBER      # For filing-specific discussions

# Compare examples mentioned in discussion
python tools/quick_debug.py --compare FILING1 FILING2

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.
