python-code-style-for-apps

python-code-style-for-apps is a cursor rule for Cursor from SyntaxArc/archipy-plugin. It costs 368 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A Python code-style rule set describes formatting, imports, documentation, error handling, and complexity limits for ArchiPy applications. It also explains how to keep internal infrastructure errors out of HTTP or gRPC responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing Python modules, public functions, imports, docstrings, exception handling, and maintainability-related changes.
Why use it?
It keeps code consistent and makes failures safer to expose. Specific exception handling and preserved error context make problems easier to diagnose without leaking internal details.

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-code-style-for-apps 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 Code Style for ArchiPy Apps

Follow the app's configured formatter/linter when stricter. Otherwise use these ArchiPy defaults:

  • Python 3.14+ syntax: X | Y, X | None, list[str], dict[str, int].
  • Double quotes for all strings.
  • Four-space indentation, 120-character maximum lines, final newline.
  • Google-style docstrings on public functions, classes, and methods (__init__ may omit one).
  • Complete parameter and return annotations on public APIs.

Imports

Order sections:

  1. from __future__ import ...
  2. Standard library
  3. Third-party packages
  4. archipy
  5. App-local imports

Keep a blank line between sections. Move type-only imports under TYPE_CHECKING only when runtime frameworks do not evaluate them; Pydantic field types must remain importable at runtime.

Errors

  • Catch specific exceptions. Never use bare except:.
  • Preserve context with raise DomainError(...) from e.
  • Broad except Exception belongs only at an outer infrastructure boundary that maps failures to domain errors.
  • Never leak driver exceptions or internal error details through HTTP/gRPC responses.

Maintainability

  • Keep McCabe complexity below 10 when the app uses ArchiPy's Ruff defaults.
  • Prefer at most five function arguments; group cohesive inputs in DTOs/config objects.
  • Run the repository's formatter, linter, and type checker after edits. Use its configured commands; do not assume the ArchiPy library's make targets exist in consumer apps.

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.
