prescryb: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/python-secure-coding/SKILL.md

python-secure-coding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from konstruktoid/prescryb. It costs 98 tokens per session (2,317 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A set of practices for writing and changing Python code with security in mind, alongside Ruff and ty quality checks. It covers common risks in input handling, data deserialization, secrets, system commands, SQL, cryptography, server-side request forgery, and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or editing Python code involving user input, serialized data, credentials, subprocesses, databases, encryption, network requests, or third-party packages.
Why use it?
It addresses security problems that automated code checks may miss, especially when Python code handles untrusted data or external systems.

Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is konstruktoid/prescryb's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on prescryb itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything prescryb configures →

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

python-secure-coding 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 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

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.

python-secure-coding is a skill published in the GitHub repository konstruktoid/prescryb (1 stars, last pushed 3d ago), with no licence file. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 2,317 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (hidden instructions, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
