python-style

Project rules for writing Python code, including imports, third-party modules, documentation strings, formatting, and type checking. They apply to Python files in the listed source, script, and test folders.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing Python to choose the required style and run Ruff, pydoclint, pyright, and the project's submission checks.
Why use it?
They reduce inconsistent code and catch style, documentation, and type problems before code is pushed or reviewed.

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.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 2,302 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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-style 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.

Python style

Applies to all Python in src/, scripts/, and tests/.

Follow the Google Python Style Guide for formatting and docstrings unless this file says otherwise.

Lint: After editing Python, run Ruff from the project venv at repo root (config in pyproject.toml). Use the same scope as CI (ruff check .), not only changed folders:

venv\Scripts\python.exe -m ruff check .
venv\Scripts\python.exe -m ruff format src scripts tests
venv\Scripts\pydoclint.exe src/stepcovnet/<package>/
venv\Scripts\pyright.exe src/stepcovnet/<package>/

Before push: venv\Scripts\python.exe pre_submit.py --fast for ruff; full pre_submit.py --skip-install before PR. Or install hooks once: pre-commit install --install-hooks --hook-type pre-commit.

Use a narrower path when scope is small. Fix any remaining diagnostics Ruff, pydoclint, and pyright report. Config: [tool.pydoclint] and [tool.pyright] in pyproject.toml.

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-style is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository cpuguy96/StepCOVNet (21 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,302 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
