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.

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 | $0.00097 | $0.01854 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00927 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00371 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00185 |
Grade A, and why
python-repo-quickstart 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 332 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Python Repository Quick Start
Rapidly analyze and understand Python repositories to get started quickly.
Quick Start
When a user provides a Python repository:
- Scan repository structure: Identify key files and directories
- Determine project type: Web app, CLI tool, library, data science, etc.
- Find entry points: Locate main execution files
- Identify dependencies: Find requirements and dependency management
- Extract setup instructions: Determine how to install and run
- Summarize functionality: Understand what the project does
What This Skill Analyzes
Project Purpose & Type
- Identify project category (web app, CLI, library, data science)
- Understand main functionality from README and code structure
- Determine intended use case
Repository Structure
- Entry points (main.py, app.py, manage.py, etc.)
- Package organization (src/, app/, lib/)
- Test structure (tests/, test_*.py)
- Documentation (docs/, README.md)
- Configuration files
Dependencies & Requirements
- requirements.txt (pip)
- Pipfile/Pipfile.lock (Pipenv)
- pyproject.toml/poetry.lock (Poetry)
- environment.yml (Conda)
- setup.py/setup.cfg (setuptools)
Setup & Execution
- Virtual environment setup
- Installation commands
- Environment variables needed
- How to run the application
- How to run tests
Analysis Workflow
1. Initial Scan
Automated analysis:
python scripts/analyze_repo.py <repo_path>
Manual analysis:
- List top-level files and directories
- Identify key indicator files
- Check for README
2. Identify Project Type
Check for framework indicators:
Django:
manage.pypresentsettings.pyin project- Django in dependencies
Flask:
app.pyorapplication.py- Flask imports in code
templates/andstatic/directories
FastAPI:
- FastAPI imports
main.pywith app definitionuvicornin dependencies
CLI Tool:
cli.pyor__main__.pyargparse,click, ortyperusage- Console scripts in setup
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

python-repo-quickstart is a skill published in the GitHub repository ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE (248 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 1,854 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
