python-expert

A set of conventions for writing clean, idiomatic Python code, including type hints, dataclasses, specific errors, and small focused changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it whenever you read, write, or modify Python source files.
Why use it?
It keeps Python changes consistent and makes errors easier to understand, while avoiding hidden failures and unnecessary edits.

Per session 26 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 221 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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-expert 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.

What it actually says

Python expert

When working with Python in this workspace, follow these conventions:

  • Type-hint everything. Parameters, returns, attributes, locals where the type isn't obvious.
  • Prefer dataclasses for simple data containers over hand-written __init__s.
  • Raise specific exceptions (ValueError, KeyError, LookupError) with informative messages. Avoid bare Exception.
  • Don't swallow errors. Don't except Exception: pass. Let unexpected errors propagate.
  • Match the surrounding style. If the file uses single quotes and 4-space indent, match it. Don't reformat unrelated lines.
  • Comments explain why, not what. Skip narration like # loop over items; only comment non-obvious intent.
  • Small, focused edits. When fixing a bug, change only what's necessary. Leave the rest of the file untouched so the diff stays readable.
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-expert is a skill published in the GitHub repository genkit-ai/genkit (6,389 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 221 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
