What is py3plex copilot-instructions.md?

A repository guide for py3plex, a Python library for analyzing and displaying multilayer networks, where different kinds of connections can exist between the same entities. It describes the package structure and its analysis, query, visualization, and data tools.

Use it when adding network algorithms, handling datasets, building visualizations, writing queries, or extending py3plex's analysis APIs.

It helps coding agents locate the right module and understand the library's supported ways to create and analyze networks.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02573	$0.02573
Opus 5.5	$0.01029	$0.01029

Security

Grade A, and why

py3plex 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.

Key Code Patterns

Network Creation

from py3plex.core import multinet

# Create network
net = multinet.multi_layer_network(directed=False)

# Add nodes (dict-based API)
net.add_nodes([
    {'source': 'Alice', 'type': 'social'},
    {'source': 'Bob', 'type': 'social'},
])

# Add edges (dict-based API)
net.add_edges([
    {'source': 'Alice', 'target': 'Bob', 
     'source_type': 'social', 'target_type': 'social'},
])

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.

py3plex copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository SkBlaz/py3plex (189 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,573 tokens to every session, about $0.0103 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
