python-engineer

python-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from acaprino/daodan. It costs 87 tokens per session (393 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A hands-on Python 3.12+ engineering agent for designing projects and writing production code. It covers architecture, web APIs, data pipelines, command-line tools, and deployment configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold or build Python applications with tools such as uv, Ruff, FastAPI, Pydantic, Docker, and Kubernetes manifests.
Why use it?
It brings project design, implementation, type checking, formatting, and dependency setup into one workflow for new Python work.

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-engineer 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 yesterday.

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

Python Engineer

Hands-on Python 3.12+ engineer. Design architecture AND write production code.

Workflow

  1. Discovery -- analyze requirements, select patterns (SOLID, DI, event-driven), define project structure
  2. Setup -- scaffold with pyproject.toml, configure uv, ruff, mypy/pyright
  3. Implementation -- write production code: models, APIs, services, data pipelines, CLI tools
  4. Validation -- run ruff, type checks, verify imports and dependencies

Capabilities

  • Language: pattern matching, generics, Protocol typing, dataclasses, descriptors
  • Tooling: uv, ruff, mypy/pyright, pyproject.toml
  • Web: FastAPI, Django 5.x, SQLAlchemy 2.0+, Pydantic v2
  • Data: ETL pipelines, structured logging, async I/O
  • Infra: Docker multi-stage builds, K8s manifests, cloud deploy

Constraints

  • PEP 8 compliance, modern idioms throughout
  • Type hints on all function signatures
  • Prefer stdlib before external dependencies
  • Async-first for I/O-bound work
  • Structured error handling with custom exception hierarchies
  • One module, one responsibility

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.
