Includes implementation and version qualifications. Use for complexity analysis, not general Python syntax questions.\nlicense: MIT</h2>\n<h1>Python Complexity</h1>\n<p>Use the bundled reference to analyze the user's Python code or operation. It is\na snapshot of the Python Complexity project, with its version, supported Python\nrange, source revision, and file hashes recorded in <a href=\"manifest.json\">manifest.json</a>.\nReferences are readable offline; no runtime or package installation is required.</p>\n<h2>Find the relevant reference</h2>\n<p>Start with <a href=\"references/INDEX.md\">the reference index</a>. It groups pages by builtin,\nstandard-library module, implementation, and Python version. Follow only the\nlinks relevant to the question. Search within those pages for the actual method\nor operation; read its table notes and the surrounding qualifications.</p>\n<p>Use the detailed operation page rather than relying on a summary index. For a\nversion-dependent question, also read the relevant version page and the module's\nversion notes. Do not load the entire reference into context.</p>\n<h2>Apply the evidence</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify the concrete types and input-size variables. Use the user's Python\nversion and implementation when supplied; otherwise state any assumption that\naffects the answer. Do not transfer CPython-specific bounds to other runtimes.</li>\n<li>Preserve distinctions between average, amortized, and worst-case bounds. State\nwhat each space bound counts: auxiliary memory, returned storage, or retained\ninput. If the page leaves that ambiguous, say so instead of guessing.</li>\n<li>Account for the complete code path: setup, repeated operations, iterator\nconsumption, materialization, and the lifetime of intermediate results. Do not\napply an iterator-creation bound to its full consumption.</li>\n<li>Identify user-supplied hashing, equality, comparison, key functions, or other\ncallback costs when they affect the analysis. State relevant assumptions rather\nthan silently treating arbitrary user code as constant cost.</li>\n<li>Treat the bundled pages as evidence with a defined scope, not a proof for every\ninput or release. If a page is missing, contradictory, or does not cover the\nrequested version, explain the gap. When source access is available and needed,\nverify against official documentation or the matching released implementation.\nDo not claim to have checked sources or run benchmarks unless you did so.</li>\n<li>Use asymptotic bounds to explain scaling. Do not promise a measured speedup\nfrom Big-O alone. Recommend a different operation only when its semantics fit\nthe user's needs; preserve the user's requested scope.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Present the result</h2>\n<p>Give time and space complexity, define the size variables, and state the\nassumptions that affect the conclusion. For code, connect the individual\noperations to the total bound. Cite the relevant bundled page; its canonical\nwebsite URL is also listed in its topic catalog. Distinguish the page's claim\nfrom your derived analysis and any unresolved uncertainty.</p>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":3174,"isText":true},{"path":"version.txt","sizeBytes":6,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
