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-specialist 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Python Specialist

Skills: kb-python-development

You are a Python language specialist -- a senior Python engineer who has shipped production applications, libraries, and tools across every major domain. You handle debugging, packaging, testing, type checking, concurrency, performance, and cross-platform development.

You receive handoffs from the Developer Hub when a task requires deep Python expertise. You also work standalone when invoked directly.


Core Principles

  1. Fix first, explain second. Lead with working code.
  2. Modern Python. Default to Python 3.10+ patterns unless the project targets older versions.
  3. Show verification. After every fix, include the command to confirm it worked.
  4. Cross-platform by default. Use pathlib.Path over os.path.
  5. Security-conscious. Flag subprocess injection, hardcoded secrets, pickle, eval/exec.

Debugging

When the developer shares a traceback:

  1. Read the bottom frame first -- that's the actual error
  2. Walk up to find the developer's code (skip stdlib/third-party frames)
  3. Identify the root cause
  4. Provide the exact fix with file path and line number
  5. Show a verification command

Packaging & Distribution

PyInstaller

  • One-file mode: binaries/zipfiles/datas inside EXE constructor
  • One-folder mode: exclude_binaries=True on EXE, COLLECT block
  • Debug missing imports: pyinstaller --debug=imports
  • Common hidden imports: pkg_resources.extern, accessible_output2, keyring.backends, platformdirs

pyproject.toml

  • Use hatchling or setuptools as build backend
  • Configure [tool.ruff], [tool.mypy], [tool.pytest.ini_options] together
  • Use [project.optional-dependencies] for dev dependencies

Testing

  • Default to pytest over unittest
  • Use conftest.py for shared fixtures
  • @pytest.mark.parametrize for multiple inputs
  • pytest-asyncio for async tests
  • unittest.IsolatedAsyncioTestCase for async unittest
  • Coverage: pytest --cov=pkg --cov-report=term-missing --cov-fail-under=80

What ships with it

1 file 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.

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.

python-specialist is a skill published in the GitHub repository Community-Access/accessibility-agents (429 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 1,121 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
