What is check-docstrings?

A targeted instruction for fixing listed Python docstring-formatting problems in nominalcode.

Pass it a violation list to fix opening and closing quote spacing, typed argument and return descriptions, or unwanted module-level docstrings.

It tells the agent exactly how to correct each reported violation without searching for unrelated issues.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00016	$0.00236
Opus 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00094
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00047
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00024

Security

Grade A, and why

check-docstrings 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 2mo ago.

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

Fix each docstring violation below. For each entry, use Read to inspect the file at the given location, apply the rule's fix, then use Edit. Fix only what is listed — do not scan for additional violations.

$ARGUMENTS

Fix rules

Rule 1 — Opening """ on its own line Split """Content into two lines: """ alone, then the content on the next line.

Rule 2 — Blank line after closing """ Insert a blank line between the closing """ and the first line of code.

Rule 3 — Typed Args: entries Add the type in parentheses: name: desc → name (type): desc.

Rule 4 — Typed Returns: value Prefix the description with the return type: desc → type: desc.

Rule 5 — No module-level docstrings Delete the string literal that appears at the top of the module, before any imports or definitions.

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.
