tech-stack-python

A set of Python-specific guidance for general software-development workflows. Python is a programming language that runs directly rather than being compiled first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it automatically in Python projects with tools such as pytest, mypy or pyright, Ruff, Black, flake8, pylint, or tox.
Why use it?
It supplies the appropriate commands and project conventions for checking, testing, formatting, and linting Python code.

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

tech-stack-python 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.

Tech Stack: Python

Overview

This tech stack skill provides Python-specific context for the generic workflow skills (spec-driven-development, incremental-implementation, test-driven-development) and for review agents. It is loaded when .claude/tech-stack contains python.

When To Use

Loaded automatically by commands and skills when the active tech stack is python. Not invoked directly.

Build & Test Commands

Python is interpreted, so there's no separate compile step. Use type checking and tests as your verification gates.

  • Type check (compile-equivalent): mypy . or pyright (whichever the project uses)
  • Test (batch): pytest <path/to/module> or pytest -k <pattern>
  • Test (full): pytest
  • Format: ruff format <path> (or black <path> if the project uses black). Wired through hooks/format-on-edit.sh, which queues edited paths at PostToolUse and formats them at Stop — both halves must be wired or nothing is formatted. Do NOT use $CLAUDE_FILE — it is not a Claude Code env var.
  • Lint: ruff check <path> (or flake8 / pylint per project)

If the project uses tox, the full test command is tox. If Poetry: poetry run pytest. If a Makefile or justfile exists, prefer the project-defined targets (make test, just test).

File Extensions & Markers

How setup-bootstrap detects this stack in a repository:

Marker Confidence
pyproject.toml High
setup.py or setup.cfg High
requirements.txt Medium
Pipfile or poetry.lock High
.python-version Low (supplemental)

Detection command:

find . -maxdepth 2 \( -name "pyproject.toml" -o -name "setup.py" -o -name "requirements.txt" -o -name "Pipfile" \) 2>/dev/null | head -3

ORM & Data Layer Guidance

SQLAlchemy rules (when SQLAlchemy is detected):

  • Use select() (SQLAlchemy 2.0 style) over the legacy Query API.
  • For read-only queries, use expire_on_commit=False or detached sessions to avoid unnecessary lazy-load round trips.
  • Avoid implicit lazy loading in production code paths — eager-load with joinedload or selectinload explicitly. Implicit lazy loading is a common N+1 source.
  • Always use with session.begin(): or explicit transaction boundaries for writes.
  • One commit per request/handler unless multiple aggregates demand otherwise.
  • Use Session.execute(select(...)) returning DTOs, not full ORM objects, when you only need projection.

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.

tech-stack-python is a skill published in the GitHub repository moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit (6 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 4,128 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 2026-08-31.
