code_runner

code_runner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ericwang915/PythonClaw. It costs 58 tokens per session (414 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that runs Python code in a separate process with a time limit. It can accept code directly, from a file, or through standard input.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate expressions, check algorithms, run Python scripts, and prototype logic that does not need network or file access.
Why use it?
It lets you test calculations and small programs while limiting the risk of an endless or unsafe run affecting the main agent process.

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

code_runner 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (run_code.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.

What it actually says

Code Runner

When to Use

  • Run or test Python code snippets
  • Evaluate expressions (e.g., "calculate 2^100")
  • Prototype logic or verify algorithms
  • Execute user-provided Python code safely

When NOT to Use

  • Running shell commands or external programs — use run_command / terminal
  • Executing non-Python code (JavaScript, etc.)
  • Code requiring heavy I/O, network calls, or persistent state
  • Editing or analyzing code without running it

Setup

No API keys or credentials needed. Uses the bundled run_code.py script.

Usage/Commands

python {skill_path}/run_code.py [options]

Input methods:

Method Example
Inline code --code "print(2+2)"
From file --file script.py
Stdin Pipe code via stdin

Options:

Option Description Default
--timeout N Max execution time (seconds) 30
--format json Output as JSON (stdout, stderr, exit_code) text
--no-capture Stream output directly off

Notes

  • Code runs in a subprocess (not eval/exec in the agent process) for safety
  • Timeout prevents infinite loops
  • Working directory is the project root
  • For shell commands or other languages, use the terminal directly
Files

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.

code_runner is a skill published in the GitHub repository ericwang915/PythonClaw (45 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 414 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
