astropy

astropy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MarieLynneBlock/arcanum-artifex. It costs 84 tokens per session (2,736 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A Python toolkit for astronomy and astrophysics data. It handles sky coordinates, physical units, FITS files, cosmology calculations, time systems, tables, and world coordinate systems, which map image pixels to positions in the sky.

In plain words
What is it for?
Processing telescope data, converting celestial coordinates, working with FITS images, and performing astronomy calculations in Python.
Why use it?
It removes the need to build common astronomy calculations and data handling from scratch. It helps keep units, coordinates, and scientific tables consistent.

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

astropy 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 8d 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.

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.

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.
