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

notebook.delete_dead_code 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

Goal

  • Given a Jupyter notebook, remove its dead code and the dead code in the paired utility file

Workflow

Follow Notebook Conventions

  • Read and follow .claude/skills/notebook.rules.md

Find Unused Functions

  • Find the functions in the notebook and in the paired *_utils.py file that the notebook does not use
  • Print a summary of the unused functions

Remove Unused Code

  • Remove the unused functions from the notebook and from the paired utility file
  • Remove their unit tests, if any

Sync with Jupytext

  • At the end, sync the paired .py file with Jupytext, following # Code Architecture and Responsibility -> ## Utilities vs. Notebook Responsibilities in .claude/skills/notebook.rules.md

Verification

  • Confirm no remaining code references the removed functions
  • Run the notebook top to bottom following ## Testing Notebook in .claude/skills/notebook.rules.md and confirm it completes without errors
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.
