datafusion-python AGENTS.md

Contributor instructions for datafusion-python, a Python interface to Apache DataFusion, a tool for querying and processing data. They explain the project's agent skills, native-code interface rules, documentation sources, and pull requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, reviewing, or documenting datafusion-python. They are especially relevant when changing its skills, Python-to-native interface, or contributor documentation.
Why use it?
They help contributors follow established project conventions before changing code. They also point agents to the right guidance for using the DataFrame API and maintaining the native interface.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

datafusion-python AGENTS.md 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 yesterday.

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.

Agent Instructions for Contributors

This file is for agents working on the datafusion-python project (developing, testing, reviewing). If you need to use the DataFusion DataFrame API (write queries, build expressions, understand available functions), see the user-facing skill at SKILL.md.

Skills

This project uses AI agent skills stored in .ai/skills/. Each skill is a directory containing a SKILL.md file with instructions for performing a specific task.

Skills follow the Agent Skills open standard. Each skill directory contains:

  • SKILL.md — The skill definition with YAML frontmatter (name, description, argument-hint) and detailed instructions.
  • Additional supporting files as needed.

To discover what skills are available, list .ai/skills/ and read each SKILL.md. The frontmatter name and description fields summarize the skill's purpose. Some descriptions begin with TRIGGER —; those are not tasks to run on request but conventions to read before writing code that meets the stated condition.

FFI Capsule Protocol

The __datafusion_*__ capsule getters are one protocol with a settled convention. Before adding or changing one, read .ai/skills/ffi-capsule-protocol/SKILL.md.

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.
