What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies complex configuration management in Python projects by providing a standardized, flexible system that handles cascading .env files, environment variables, and CLI arguments. It eliminates boilerplate and ensures consistent configuration across development, testing, and production environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Cascading Configuration: Load settings from global to project-specific .env files with clear precedence.
• CLI & Environment Overrides: Easily override settings via command-line arguments or environment variables.
• Helper Functions: Includes utilities for path expansion, boolean parsing, and comma-separated lists.
• Use Case: When starting a new Python CLI application, use this skill to quickly set up a robust configuration system that supports .env files for different environments and allows command-line overrides for specific runs, ensuring your app is flexible and easy to manage.
