python-structure

A Python documentation agent that records how software actually works, including READMEs, API documentation, architecture decision records, and usage instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after features or interfaces change to write and check documentation, commands, signatures, and examples against the source.
Why use it?
It helps keep documentation aligned with the code that was shipped, rather than with outdated plans or assumptions.

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.

Per session 57 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 812 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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-structure 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/ast_reader/__init__.py, scripts/ast_reader/cli.py, scripts/ast_reader/extractor.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Python Structure Analyzer

Analyze Python files to understand their structure without reading full implementations. Uses AST parsing to extract imports, classes, functions, and their signatures.

Quick Usage

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/python-structure/scripts/cli.py" <file.py>

Output Formats

Format Use Case Token Cost
skeleton (default) Code outline with ... bodies Low
signatures Just function/method signatures Very Low
json Structured data for processing Medium
detailed Full structure with docstrings Higher

Common Commands

Get file structure (default skeleton):

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/python-structure/scripts/cli.py" src/models.py

Get just signatures (ultra-compact):

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/python-structure/scripts/cli.py" src/models.py --format=signatures

Focus on a specific class:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/python-structure/scripts/cli.py" src/models.py --class=UserModel

Get JSON for processing:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/python-structure/scripts/cli.py" src/models.py --format=json

Only show functions (no classes):

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/python-structure/scripts/cli.py" src/utils.py --only=functions

Skip docstrings to save tokens:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/python-structure/scripts/cli.py" large_file.py --no-docstrings --compact

Options Reference

Option Description
--format=FORMAT Output format: skeleton, signatures, json, detailed
--only=TYPE Show only: functions, classes, imports, globals
--class=NAME Focus on specific class
--function=NAME Focus on specific function
--no-docstrings Omit docstrings (saves tokens)
--no-decorators Omit decorators
--line-numbers Include line number annotations
--max-lines=N Truncate output to N lines
--compact Remove blank lines for density

Files

What ships with it

6 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.

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-structure is a skill published in the GitHub repository eran-broder/code-structure-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 812 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
