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-cheatsheet copilot-instructions.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 2mo 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.

Python Cheatsheet - AI Coding Assistant Instructions

Project Overview

This is a Vue 3 + Vite-based documentation website for Python programming reference, featuring a comprehensive cheatsheet, blog posts, and built-in function documentation. The site uses Vue-SSG for static generation and is deployed on Netlify.

Architecture & Key Patterns

Content Structure

  • Cheatsheet pages: Markdown files in docs/cheatsheet/ (e.g., basics.md, control-flow.md)
  • Built-in functions: Individual pages in docs/builtin/ (e.g., abs.md, print.md)
  • Blog posts: Markdown files in docs/blog/ with frontmatter metadata
  • Modules documentation: Standard library references in docs/modules/

Routing & Layout System

  • Uses vite-plugin-pages for file-based routing with multiple layouts:
    • default.vue: Main layout with sidebar + TOC
    • article.vue: Blog post layout
    • fullPage.vue: Full-width pages
    • blog.vue: Blog index layout
  • Route metadata defined in <route lang="yaml"> blocks
  • Navigation structure centralized in src/store/navigation.ts

Content Rendering

  • Markdown files auto-converted to Vue components via unplugin-vue-markdown
  • Prism.js for syntax highlighting with custom theme
  • Custom Vue components available in markdown (e.g., <base-title>, <base-disclaimer>)
  • Automatic TOC generation from headings using markdown-it-anchor

Key Features Implementation

  • Reader Mode: Full-screen reading with font size controls (src/store/reader.ts)
  • Dark Mode: Theme toggle with system preference detection
  • Search: Algolia DocSearch integration (src/components/AlgoliaDocSearch.vue)

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.
