coding.fix_bloated_imports

coding.fix_bloated_imports is a skill for Claude Code from gpsaggese/helpers. It costs 14 tokens per session (345 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Python code-cleanup procedure for delaying imports of large packages until the functions that need them run. It keeps package imports used only for type hints under a type-checking condition.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to change selected Python files and packages to lazy imports, while keeping type annotations valid and checking that imports occur in the intended places.
Why use it?
It can reduce unnecessary startup work and avoid loading heavy dependencies when the relevant functions are not used.

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

coding.fix_bloated_imports 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.

What it actually says

  • I pass you one or more files <FILES> and one or more packages <PACKAGES> that are large to import (e.g., ipython, pandas) and needed in only a few functions

  • In <FILES>, use a conditional import for type checking and lazy imports for <PACKAGES>

    • E.g., transform
      def make_slider() -> "ipywidgets.IntSlider":
          import ipywidgets
          ...
      
      into
      from typing import TYPE_CHECKING
      
      if TYPE_CHECKING:
          import ipywidgets
      
      def make_slider() -> "ipywidgets.IntSlider":
          import ipywidgets
          ...
      
  • Use forward references only for the package types, not for the whole expression

    • Bad (quotes the whole expression as one string)
      "Tuple[Union[ipywidgets.FloatSlider, ipywidgets.IntSlider], ipywidgets.HBox]"
      
    • Good (quotes only the package types)
      Tuple[Union["ipywidgets.FloatSlider", "ipywidgets.IntSlider"], "ipywidgets.HBox"]
      
  • If most functions in <FILES> need <PACKAGES>, suggest not doing this transform

Verification

  • Confirm <PACKAGES> is imported only under TYPE_CHECKING or inside the functions that use it
  • Confirm forward references quote only the package types, not full expressions

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.
