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.format_md_cells 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 an interactive Jupyter notebook, format all the markdown cells without changing their content

Workflow

Sync Markdown Cells

  • Sync every markdown cell with its interactive cell

Markdown Cells Needs to Use Bullet Lists

  • Structure the text in markdown cells as markdown bullet points, with nested bullets for clarity and conciseness, following
    • .claude/skills/slides.rules.md: slide formatting
    • .claude/skills/text.rules.md: bullet point formatting
  • Follow ## Use Bullet-Point Comments for Structured Explanations in .claude/skills/notebook.rules.md

Sync Notebook

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

Conventions

  • Always follow .claude/skills/notebook.rules.md

Constraints

  • Do not change the intent of the cell

Verification

  • Confirm the meaning of every markdown cell is unchanged
  • Confirm the .ipynb and paired .py file are in sync via Jupytext

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.
