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 C, and why

uv scanned grade C with 2 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (References/python-project-scripts/init-project.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

uv Skill

Extremely fast Python package and project manager by Astral (Ruff creators).

Overview

uv is a single tool that replaces:

  • pip/pip-tools - Package installation and dependency resolution
  • virtualenv/venv - Virtual environment creation
  • pyenv - Python version management
  • pipx - Tool installation and execution
  • poetry/pdm - Project and dependency management
  • twine - Package publishing

Key Features:

  • 10-100x faster than pip
  • Universal lockfile (uv.lock) for reproducible builds
  • Automatic Python version management
  • Built-in tool execution (uvx)
  • PEP 723 inline script dependencies
  • Drop-in pip compatibility

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.

uv is a skill published in the GitHub repository julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills (10 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 4,677 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
