maintain-python-template

maintain-python-template is a skill for Codex from leynier/python-template. It costs 57 tokens per session (381 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance workflow for a Python project template whose choices and generated files are driven by a catalog. It keeps configuration options, templates, dependencies, tests, and documentation aligned.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or repairing frameworks, providers, databases, interfaces, machine-learning tools, deployment targets, presets, or compatibility rules.
Why use it?
It helps prevent adding a selectable component that renders files but cannot actually run, or leaving generated references and compatibility rules out of sync.

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

maintain-python-template 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.

What it actually says

Maintain Python Template

Make catalog-driven changes without creating a choice that renders but cannot run.

Change Workflow

  1. Inspect catalog/components.yml, catalog/presets.yml, copier.yml, the relevant files under template/, and existing tests before editing.
  2. Define the component metadata and compatibility constraints in the catalog first. Keep each choice in exactly one architectural role unless it genuinely serves several roles.
  3. Wire Copier defaults and choices to the catalog. Preserve the three simple presets and reject incompatible combinations with an actionable validator message.
  4. Add functional source, dependency, configuration, test, README, and environment-variable templates for the component. Avoid placeholder-only integrations.
  5. Run uv run python scripts/compile_catalog.py --check. If generated files are stale, run the command without --check, review all generated changes, then check again.
  6. Add focused repository tests and generate at least one representative project. Validate its imports or endpoints, not only file presence.
  7. Run the gates in validate-python-stack before proposing delivery.

Invariants

  • catalog/generated/catalog.json, catalog/generated/choices.yml, and docs/reference/*.md are compiler outputs; edit their sources instead.
  • Generated projects use a src layout, uv, Ruff, pytest, typing, and reproducible dependency bounds.
  • Optional layers must disappear cleanly when disabled.
  • Conditional template path components must remain short enough to render on Windows.
  • A deploy target keeps Docker portability; cloud IaC is limited to supported target/provider pairs.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
