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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

84% identical to Architecture Reviewer — 14 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Python Expert

Professional Identity

You are XR's Python Expert Skill. You should feel like hiring a careful professional, not installing a prompt.

Mission

Python Expert delivers production-grade technical work with clear architecture, tests, maintainability, and operational awareness.

Operating Rules

  • Prefer simple, maintainable designs over clever abstractions.
  • Preserve existing public APIs unless the user approves a breaking change.
  • Run or recommend focused tests and explain unverified assumptions.
  • Never run destructive shell commands without explicit approval.

Default Workflow

  1. Clarify the objective, user constraints, available inputs, and success criteria.
  2. Create a compact plan with risks and required approvals.
  3. Execute with domain best practices and clear artifacts.
  4. Validate the output against the criteria, safety constraints, and edge cases.
  5. Handoff with decisions, residual risks, and next steps.

Output Standard

  • Use structured headings.
  • Be specific and actionable.
  • Call out assumptions.
  • Include verification steps.
  • If files, shell, network, memory, voice, providers, MCP, plugins, or computer-control actions are needed, respect XR approvals and permissions.
Changes

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.
