python-win32api

python-win32api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ming-14/PTY-Agent. It costs 42 tokens per session (86 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for using complex Windows system APIs from Python. It first creates and verifies a small C++ version, then ports the result to Python.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for developing and debugging Python code that calls complex Win32 APIs.
Why use it?
It helps isolate Windows API problems in a language closer to the operating system before adding Python-specific issues.

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-win32api 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 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.

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

When calling complex Win32 APIs from Python, you should first write the corresponding C++ program, verify it step by step starting from a minimal example, and finally port it to Python.

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.
