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

python-quality-checker 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 today.

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.

Python Quality Checker Skill

Purpose

This skill provides comprehensive Python code quality validation including formatting (Black), type checking (mypy), linting (flake8/ruff), security analysis (bandit), and complexity analysis. Ensures code meets Python best practices and project standards.

When to Use

  • Validating Python code quality before commit
  • Running pre-commit quality checks
  • CI/CD quality gate validation
  • Code review preparation
  • Ensuring PEP 8 compliance
  • Type safety validation
  • Security vulnerability detection

Quality Check Workflow

1. Environment Setup

Verify Tools Installed:

# Check Python version
python --version

# Check quality tools
black --version
mypy --version
flake8 --version
bandit --version

# Or install missing tools
pip install black mypy flake8 bandit ruff

Install Development Dependencies:

# Install all dev tools
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Or from requirements
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Deliverable: Quality tools ready


2. Code Formatting Check (Black)

Check Formatting:

# Check if code is formatted
black --check src/ tests/

# Check with diff
black --check --diff src/ tests/

# Check specific files
black --check src/tools/feature/core.py

# Check with color output
black --check --color src/ tests/

Auto-Format Code:

# Format all code
black src/ tests/

# Format specific directory
black src/tools/feature/

# Format with specific line length
black --line-length 100 src/

# Preview changes without applying
black --check --diff src/

Configuration (pyproject.toml):

[tool.black]
line-length = 88
target-version = ['py311']
include = '\.pyi?$'
extend-exclude = '''
/(
  # Directories
  \.eggs
  | \.git
  | \.venv
  | build
  | dist
)/
'''

Deliverable: Formatting validation report


3. Type Checking (mypy)

Run Type Checks:

# Check entire codebase
mypy src/

# Check specific module
mypy src/tools/feature/

# Check with stricter settings
mypy --strict src/

# Show error codes
mypy --show-error-codes src/

# Generate HTML report
mypy --html-report mypy-report/ src/

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-quality-checker is a skill published in the GitHub repository matteocervelli/llms (25 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 3,836 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
