python-infrastructure

python-infrastructure is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills. It costs 127 tokens per session (739 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Python practices for reliable services, covering background work, retries, timeouts, logging, metrics, and tracing. Background work runs outside the user's immediate request, while tracing follows a request across services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for task queues, asynchronous workers, retry policies, circuit breakers, and service monitoring.
Why use it?
It helps services handle temporary failures, run long tasks safely, and reveal what is happening in production.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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-infrastructure 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 8d 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 Infrastructure

System-reliability concerns for Python services, grouped because real code uses them together: a task you queue (background-jobs) needs retries (resilience) and instrumentation (observability) on the same call path.

Scope routing

If you need to… Read
Design a task queue, schedule recurring jobs, or run async workers (Celery, RQ, asyncio task pools) References/background-jobs.md
Decide what to retry, with what backoff, and when to stop (tenacity patterns, idempotency, circuit breakers) References/resilience.md
Instrument a service with structured logs, metrics, and traces (structlog, OpenTelemetry, the four golden signals) References/observability.md

Decision tree

Operation can fail transiently (network/IO/3rd-party API)?
  -> resilience.md (retry policy)
Operation runs out-of-request (email, image processing, batch)?
  -> background-jobs.md (queue + worker)
Need to know what's happening in production?
  -> observability.md (logs/metrics/traces)
All three at once for one feature?
  -> all three references, in that order.

Cross-skill boundaries

  • writing-pythonhow to write the function. This skill — how it survives in production.
  • python-error-handlingwhat exception to raise. This skill — what to do when it's raised across a network boundary.
  • python-resource-managementhow to clean up resources (context managers). This skill — how to keep retrying when resources fail to acquire.

Gotchas

  • Retry without backoff is a DoS amplifier. A failed downstream + immediate retry from N clients = traffic burst that keeps the downstream down. Default to exponential backoff + jitter from day one.
  • Retrying non-idempotent operations duplicates side effects. A failed POST + retry can mean two charges. Always pair retry-on-failure with an idempotency key OR mark the operation non-retryable.
  • Synchronous code inside an async worker blocks the event loop. A "fast" requests call in an asyncio worker kills throughput. Use the async client (httpx, aiohttp) or run sync code in an executor.
  • Structured logs and metrics serve different audiences. Logs answer "what happened to this one request"; metrics answer "what's happening across all requests". Don't try to derive one from the other — instrument both.
  • Trace context propagation needs explicit plumbing across the queue boundary. Pushing a task to Celery loses the current trace unless you serialize the trace context into the task headers and restore it in the worker. Read the OpenTelemetry-Celery propagator docs before assuming it "just works".

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-infrastructure is a skill published in the GitHub repository julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills (10 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 127 tokens to every session and 739 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-09-03.
