python-development

python-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from d-mariano/spicyclaude. It costs 121 tokens per session (829 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for designing and writing Python code, including type annotations, project setup, data structures, and testing tools. Python is a programming language used for scripts, services, and applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning or implementing Python modules, APIs, or applications, including projects using pytest, Pydantic, dataclasses, FastAPI, Django, Flask, uv, Poetry, Ruff, or mypy.
Why use it?
It keeps Python projects consistent and helps avoid weak types, incorrect package-manager choices, and poorly structured data.

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-development 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Python Development

Project Setup

Detect existing package manager first:

ls -la pyproject.toml poetry.lock uv.lock Pipfile* requirements.txt .venv/ 2>/dev/null
Found Use
poetry.lock poetry install && poetry run pytest
uv.lock uv sync && uv run pytest
requirements.txt source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt
Nothing uv init && uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate

Never switch package managers. Never install globally.

When using uv, avoid uv pip install and use commands like uv add and uv sync instead.


Type System

Avoid Any and generic dicts. Use structured types.

from __future__ import annotations

# ✗ AVOID
def process(data: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]: ...

# ✓ PREFER
@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)
class User:
    id: int
    email: str
    name: str

def process(user: User) -> User: ...
Data Origin Use
API input/output Pydantic BaseModel
Internal objects @dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)
External JSON you don't control TypedDict
Interface contracts Protocol

Details: type-system.md


Core Patterns

Pydantic for validation:

class CreateUserRequest(BaseModel):
    email: EmailStr
    name: str = Field(min_length=1, max_length=100)

Dataclass for domain objects:

@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)
class UserId:
    value: int

Protocol for DI:

class UserRepository(Protocol):
    def get(self, id: UserId) -> User | None: ...
    def save(self, user: User) -> None: ...

Error handling — preserve chain, never swallow:

except httpx.HTTPError as e:
    raise ServiceError("API failed") from e

# ✗ NEVER: except Exception: pass

Details: patterns.md


Testing

Fixtures over setup, parametrize for variants:

@pytest.fixture
def user_service(mock_repo: Mock) -> UserService:
    return UserService(repo=mock_repo)

@pytest.mark.parametrize("email,valid", [
    ("[email protected]", True),
    ("invalid", False),
])
def test_email_validation(email: str, valid: bool) -> None:
    assert validate_email(email) == valid

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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-development is a skill published in the GitHub repository d-mariano/spicyclaude (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 829 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
