litestar-settings

litestar-settings is a skill for Claude Code from litestar-org/litestar-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (556 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding guide for typed application settings in Litestar, a Python web framework. It covers reading environment variables, validating configuration, caching settings, and connecting them to application state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding environment-based settings, Pydantic or dataclass configuration, cached settings factories, or application-state wiring in Litestar.
Why use it?
It avoids repeated or inconsistent configuration loading and helps required settings fail early without exposing secrets in logs.

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

litestar-settings 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 11d 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.

Litestar Settings

Use this skill for typed settings, env loading, cached settings factories, and app-state wiring.

Code Style Rules

  • Use dataclass settings plus get_env for fresh Litestar apps.
  • Use pydantic-settings when the project already depends on Pydantic for config.
  • Cache settings once per process.
  • Keep secret values out of logs and generated docs.

Quick Reference

Workflow

  1. Inventory required env vars and defaults.
  2. Choose dataclass settings or the existing Pydantic settings path.
  3. Add a cached factory.
  4. Inject settings through app state or DI.

Guardrails

  • Do not parse env vars repeatedly in handlers.
  • Do not use msgspec Structs for env loading.
  • Do not bake environment-specific values into code.
  • Do not log secrets while debugging config.

Validation Checkpoint

  • Settings are typed.
  • Settings are cached.
  • Required values fail early.
  • Tests can override settings without mutating global process env unexpectedly.

Example

from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from functools import lru_cache
from os import getenv


def get_env(key: str, default: str) -> str:
    return getenv(key, default)


@dataclass(frozen=True)
class AppSettings:
    name: str = field(default_factory=lambda: get_env("APP_NAME", "api"))


@lru_cache(maxsize=1)
def get_settings() -> AppSettings:
    return AppSettings()

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.
