python-stack

A set of working practices and tools for building typed Python packages, command-line programs, web applications, tests, and APIs. It covers dependency management, formatting, linting, type checking, and testing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting or maintaining Python libraries, command-line tools, web services, test suites, and typed API code.
Why use it?
It gives Python projects a consistent way to install dependencies, check code quality, and run tests. This reduces differences between developers' setups and catches errors earlier.

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-stack 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 12 executable files (references/conftest.py, references/init-cli.py, references/init-library.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Stack Standard

Canonical guidelines for Python development, scaffolding, CLI scripts, web applications, and AI agents.

1. Core & Quality Stack

  • Python: Target latest stable. Use modern syntax (structural pattern matching, PEP 695 type parameters/aliases, parenthesized context managers, typing.Annotated).
  • Dependency Management: Use uv exclusively. Avoid global/manual venvs. Execute tasks via uv run. Always commit uv.lock in application repositories; libraries can omit it.
  • Task Runner: Use mise.toml (mise.toml) for the canonical tasks: install, format, check, test, build, and watch. See the mise skill.
  • Linting & Formatting: Use Ruff (ruff check --fix and ruff format) for Python; enforce zero warnings/errors and ban print statements (T201). Clean config/markup (JSON, Markdown, TOML, YAML) with dprint using the configuration maintained by the dprint skill.
  • Type Checking: Use ty wrapper (ty check) for strict static typing. Use modern type annotations (e.g., list[str], X | Y). Note: ty is pre-1.0 (fast-moving); keep it as a local check and pin a compatible range until it reaches a stable release.
  • Git Hooks: Use lefthook (lefthook.yml) for pre-commit (format, check) and pre-push (test). See the lefthook skill.
  • Testing: Use pytest in tests/ with anyio and an 85% branch-coverage gate. Keep the default suite offline; web integration tests opt into a real disposable Postgres via conftest.py and test_integration.py.
  • Security: Scan dependencies for known vulnerabilities with pip-audit (uv run pip-audit), wired into mise run check as check:vuln.
  • Validation & Config: Use Pydantic (v2+) & Pydantic Settings (BaseSettings). Keep configs in typed Python files (e.g., config.py); restrict YAML to cross-language needs.
  • Logging: Use structlog. Local: ConsoleRenderer. Production: JSONRenderer. Route standard library logs (SQLAlchemy, HTTPX) through structlog for uniform JSON outputs.

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-stack is a skill published in the GitHub repository fmind/dotfiles (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 3,883 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.

dotfiles-bootstrap

Bootstrap a workstation with the dotfiles framework. Takes a GitHub user / owner+repo / explicit clone URL and runs dot init (which shells out to chezmoi) with the right safety prompts. Honors the active agent profile (ask / plan / apply / audit) so it defaults to dry-run in safer modes and full apply in apply.
