EGC: Instructions file for Kiro

.kiro/steering/python-patterns.md

EGC python-patterns.md is an instructions file for Kiro from Fmarzochi/EGC. It costs 192 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of ECC python-patterns.md, Apache-2.0.

A collection of Python coding patterns for common application designs. Python is a programming language; the examples cover interfaces, data-transfer objects, resource handling, and lazy iteration.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for designing Python repositories and data objects, managing resources with context managers, and processing values lazily with generators.
Why use it?
It gives Python-specific alternatives to relying only on general coding rules. This can make resource cleanup, data structures, and code organization more consistent.

Instructions file for Kiro

Written for Kiro: installed under .kiro/.

This is Fmarzochi/EGC's own configuration. It tells Kiro how to work on EGC itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything EGC configures →

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

EGC python-patterns.md 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to ECC python-patterns.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Python Patterns

This file extends the common patterns rule with Python specific content.

Protocol (Duck Typing)

from typing import Protocol

class Repository(Protocol):
    def find_by_id(self, id: str) -> dict | None: ...
    def save(self, entity: dict) -> dict: ...

Dataclasses as DTOs

from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class CreateUserRequest:
    name: str
    email: str
    age: int | None = None

Context Managers & Generators

  • Use context managers (with statement) for resource management
  • Use generators for lazy evaluation and memory-efficient iteration

Reference

See skill: python-patterns for comprehensive patterns including decorators, concurrency, and package organization.

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.
