python-skills CLAUDE.md

A set of project instructions for Python development with AI coding tools. It defines required preparation, coding standards, framework and domain guidance, and rules such as checking the supported Python version before writing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before Python coding tasks to load the relevant instructions, inspect project settings, choose compatible syntax, and follow the required style and safety rules.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a consistent project context and prevents avoidable choices that conflict with the repository's rules.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-skills CLAUDE.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 2d 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.

Python AI-SDLC Framework — Master Context

Universal skills, rules and standards for AI-assisted Python development. Compatible with: Claude Code · Cursor · Kiro · Windsurf · Gemini Code Assist · GitHub Copilot · Amazon Q Target experience level: 18-20 years of professional Python development.


AGENT CONTRACT — READ BEFORE EVERY CODING TASK

  1. Read this file entirely before writing any code.
  2. Check [project] requires-python in pyproject.toml before using ANY version-specific syntax.
  3. Load skills/common/code-style.md for every task — no exceptions.
  4. Load the framework-specific skills/{framework}/SKILL.md for the project's framework.
  5. Load domain-specific skills (skills/common/security.md, db-design.md, etc.) when relevant.
  6. Cite the rule you are enforcing when you make a style or architectural decision.
  7. Ask before assuming framework version, DB engine, auth mechanism, or Python version.
  8. Never delete existing migrations, test files, or .env.example entries.
  9. When in doubt between two approaches, choose the one that is more explicit and testable.

NON-NEGOTIABLE RULES (always active — no exceptions)

# Rule Source
1 Check requires-python before using version-specific syntax code-style.md §1.3
2 4 spaces indentation. No tabs. PEP 8, code-style.md §2.1
3 All public functions/methods/classes must have docstrings PEP 257, code-style.md §7
4 Full type annotations on all function signatures PEP 484, code-style.md §9
5 No hardcoded secrets — all config via pydantic-settings security.md §1
6 All logging uses structlog — no print() in production code logging.md
7 All DB access through ORM/repository — no raw SQL unless parameterised db-design.md §6
8 Tests mandatory for all business logic — 80% coverage minimum testing.md
9 All API endpoints authenticated unless explicitly marked public security.md §2
10 Layer discipline enforced — API→Service→Repository→Model folder-structure.md §3.2
11 Never use mutable default arguments code-style.md §10.7
12 Always catch specific exceptions — never bare except: error-handling.md §4.1
13 Never compare to None with == — always use is / is not code-style.md §10.1
14 Exceptions derive from Exception, not BaseException error-handling.md §1.1
15 All monetary values use Decimal, never float db-design.md §7

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.

python-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository rishapgandhi/python-skills (4 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,360 tokens to every session, about $0.0068 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
