What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides authoritative guidance for Python development across code quality, tooling, and workflow decisions, reducing ambiguity and helping teams adopt modern best practices consistently.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Code quality & formatting: Enforces PEP 8, type hints, and consistent style with tools like Ruff, Black, and Mypy.
• Testing & reliability: Promotes pytest-based testing, test organization, and CI readiness.
• Framework & packaging guidance: Helps select frameworks (FastAPI, Django, Flask) and packaging layouts (src layout, pyproject.toml, setuptools_scm).
• Project scaffolding & templates: Provides templates and starter configurations for new Python projects.
• Use Case: When starting a new API service, use this Skill to bootstrap the project structure and recommended tooling.

Quick Start

• Initialize a new Python project with a src layout and pyproject.toml using the recommended tooling.
• Install essential development dependencies: pytest, ruff, mypy, httpx, and structlog.
• Set up a starter FastAPI or Django project example with Pydantic models and async database patterns.
