python-scala-syntax-mapping

python-scala-syntax-mapping is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from benchflow-ai/skillsbench. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,287 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A reference guide for translating Python syntax into Scala equivalents, covering variables, types, control flow, collections, and common operators.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while converting Python statements, loops, conditions, and built-in types into Scala code.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion caused by differences between Python and Scala when rewriting code from one language in the other.

About the project

SkillsBench is a benchmark for measuring how effectively AI agents use modular skills—folders containing instructions, scripts, and resources—to complete specialized tasks. It helps researchers and developers evaluate both skill quality and agent behavior, including tasks that require combining multiple skills. The catalogue’s skills and instructions are evaluated as part of this workflow.

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-scala-syntax-mapping 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 9d 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 to Scala Syntax Mapping

Variable Declarations

Python Scala
x = 5 val x = 5 (immutable) or var x = 5 (mutable)
x: int = 5 val x: Int = 5
x, y = 1, 2 val (x, y) = (1, 2)

Prefer val over var unless mutation is required.

Type Mappings

Python Scala
int Int
float Double
str String
bool Boolean
None None (of type Option) or null
list[T] List[T] or Seq[T]
dict[K, V] Map[K, V]
set[T] Set[T]
tuple[A, B] (A, B) or Tuple2[A, B]
Optional[T] Option[T]

Control Flow

Conditionals

# Python
if x > 0:
    result = "positive"
elif x < 0:
    result = "negative"
else:
    result = "zero"
// Scala - if is an expression
val result = if (x > 0) "positive"
             else if (x < 0) "negative"
             else "zero"

Loops

# Python for loop
for i in range(10):
    print(i)

for item in items:
    process(item)

for i, item in enumerate(items):
    print(f"{i}: {item}")
// Scala equivalents
for (i <- 0 until 10) println(i)

for (item <- items) process(item)

for ((item, i) <- items.zipWithIndex) println(s"$i: $item")

While loops

# Python
while condition:
    do_something()
// Scala
while (condition) {
  doSomething()
}

Comprehensions

# Python list comprehension
squares = [x ** 2 for x in range(10)]
evens = [x for x in numbers if x % 2 == 0]
pairs = [(x, y) for x in xs for y in ys]
// Scala for-comprehensions or map/filter
val squares = (0 until 10).map(x => x * x).toList
val evens = numbers.filter(_ % 2 == 0)
val pairs = for { x <- xs; y <- ys } yield (x, y)

Functions

# Python
def add(a: int, b: int) -> int:
    return a + b

# Lambda
square = lambda x: x ** 2

# Default arguments
def greet(name: str, greeting: str = "Hello") -> str:
    return f"{greeting}, {name}!"

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.
