python-service-dev

A workflow for developing Python backend services, workers, packages, and command-line tools. Python is a programming language; backend services run behind websites or apps and handle data, APIs, and background jobs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or change FastAPI and Django services, Celery jobs, migrations, Redis and queue integrations, external clients, standalone tools, packaging, and tests.
Why use it?
It provides one place to handle the many parts of a Python service, such as routes, data models, databases, queues, configuration, and tests. It also helps match backend work with related architecture and defect-diagnosis workflows.

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-service-dev 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 Service Dev

Use this for implementation of Python backend products, services, microservices, AI-service hosts, workers, packages, and batch tools. For new backend products, implement the smallest deployable or package shape justified by ownership, data boundary, runtime isolation, scaling, release cadence, and rollback needs. It should adapt to the repository in front of you, but the workflow is independent of any prior codebase.

Skill Routing

  • Use this skill for Python implementation, scaffolding, handlers/routes/views, schemas, services, microservices, repositories, migrations, Redis, queues, workers, external/inter-service clients, config, observability, packaging, and tests.
  • Use product-rd-workflow first when the request is an end-to-end product delivery workflow, product idea to implementation plan, release workflow, cross-skill coordination, bug postmortem, or durable process improvement.
  • Use defect-diagnosis first when the task is to reproduce, isolate, instrument, fix, verify, or root-cause a backend defect, regression, repeated failure, review finding, or failing test.
  • Use python-service-architecture when the user asks for system design, service boundaries, contract strategy, storage ownership, reliability design, or architecture review without code changes.
  • Use testing-strategy when the main question is which unit, integration, contract, or E2E layer should prove behavior; then return here for Python-specific implementation.
  • Use test-artifact-management when the ask is about generating structured test cases from a Feishu requirements doc or codebase and tracking them in Feishu Bitable before implementation begins.
  • Use llm-inference-integration for inference, RAG, prompt, model-routing, evaluation, replay, token-cost, and batch-inference design. Return here for Python API, worker, adapter, persistence, and observability implementation.
  • Use go-microservice-dev for Go services. Do not load Go implementation rules for Python work unless the task is explicitly cross-language contract or generated-client integration.
  • Use codebase-specific skills only when the task is explicitly about an existing repository.
  • For money, billing, quota, permission, tenant/user data isolation, high-impact AI, repeated writes, async finality, or incident-explanation risk, apply product-rd-workflow high-risk resilience gates and route test-layer design through testing-strategy.
  • When a change can alter what a client renders or which state, action, or decision path it offers—including strings/templates/config/flags and API/event/schema fields, enums, status/progress, permission/capability signals, defaults, or result shapes—load ../product-ui-ux-design/references/delivery-contract.md, create the applicable full or lightweight record in that contract, and follow its canonical consumer-universe classification, design/test/client handoffs, and terminal-status rules.
  • This Python owner returns only its producer_record delta: immutable binding, build/schema/config artifact identity, exact command/environment, and API/event/log/output observation.

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-service-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository ccoalm/ccl-skills (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 155 tokens to every session and 5,285 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
