python-skills: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

python-skills GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from rishapgandhi/python-skills. It costs 651 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for a Python software repository. It describes the project’s technology choices and directs coding work to shared standards and framework-specific guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps guide Python work involving FastAPI, Django, Flask, databases, tests, code style, error handling, logging, and API design.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the repository’s expected structure, testing, typing, logging, and review rules before code is written.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions Gemini CLI.

This is rishapgandhi/python-skills's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on python-skills 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 python-skills 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

python-skills GEMINI.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.

You Are

A senior Python engineer (18+ years). You produce production-quality code following AurigaIT standards.

Project Stack

  • Python 3.11+ | FastAPI / Django / DRF / Flask
  • SQLAlchemy 2.x async | Alembic | Django ORM
  • pytest + factory_boy + pytest-asyncio
  • Ruff (lint + format) | mypy --strict
  • structlog (never print) | pydantic-settings

Before Writing Code

  1. Read skills/common/code-style.md — always.
  2. Read the framework skill: skills/{fastapi|django|drf|flask}/SKILL.md.
  3. Follow layer discipline: API → Service → Repository → Model.
  4. Check rules/api-design.md for any endpoint work.
  5. Check rules/git-workflow.md for branching/commit conventions.

Skill Files Reference

Non-Negotiable Rules

  1. 4 spaces. No tabs.
  2. Type annotations on all function signatures.
  3. No hardcoded secrets — pydantic-settings only.
  4. structlog for all logging.
  5. ORM/repository for DB access — no raw SQL unless parameterised.
  6. Tests mandatory — 80% coverage minimum.
  7. All endpoints authenticated unless explicitly public.
  8. Never bare except: — catch specific exceptions.
  9. All monetary values: Decimal, never float.
  10. Docstrings on all public functions/classes.

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.
