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

release 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.

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

Cut a release

Versioning is derived from git tags via setuptools_scm, and publishing is automated by .github/workflows/publish.yml. See docs/contributing/releases.md for the authoritative process.

  1. Confirm main is green (CI passing) and decide the version {VERSION} (semver major.minor.patch, optional PEP 440 pre/post/dev suffix).
  2. Create and push an annotated, signed tag prefixed with v:
    git tag -s v{VERSION} -m "pypkg v{VERSION}"
    git push origin v{VERSION}
    
  3. Create a GitHub Release from the tag titled pypkg v{VERSION}:
    • Official release: use "Generate release notes", set the previous official tag as the baseline, add an "Upgrade Steps" section, verify PR labels sort the notes correctly, and mark it "latest".
    • Pre-release: skip generated notes and mark it "pre-release".
  4. Publishing the release triggers the publish workflow, which builds with uv build, uploads to PyPI via Trusted Publishing, and deploys versioned docs with mike. Confirm both the PyPI upload and the docs deploy succeeded.

Do not push tags or create releases without explicit confirmation from the user.

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.
