bakefile: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/python-cli-guidelines/SKILL.md

python-cli-guidelines is a skill for Claude Code from wislertt/bakefile. It costs 0 tokens per session (827 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of guidelines for building Python command-line tools, which are programs operated through a terminal. It covers Typer, Pydantic, UV, testing with pytest, and type checking with ty.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing Python terminal commands, defining typed configuration and data validation, managing environments, writing tests, and packaging the project.
Why use it?
It gives developers established patterns for organizing, validating, packaging, testing, and checking Python CLI projects.

This is wislertt/bakefile's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on bakefile itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything bakefile configures →

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-cli-guidelines 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 2mo 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 CLI Guidelines

Production-tested patterns for building Python CLI tools using Typer, Pydantic, and UV.

Overview

This skill provides guidelines for developing bakefile - a Python-based build system with OOP reusability.

Tech Stack:

  • Typer - CLI framework
  • Pydantic - Data validation
  • UV - Package manager (auto-resolve Python environments)
  • pytest - Testing
  • ty - Type checking

Key Patterns

1. Command Definition (Typer)

import typer

app = typer.Typer()


@app.command()
def init():
    """Initialize a new bakefile.py in current directory."""
    typer.echo("Creating bakefile.py...")

2. Data Validation (Pydantic)

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field


class TaskConfig(BaseModel):
    name: str = Field(..., min_length=1)
    command: str
    description: str | None = None

3. OOP Reusability

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod


class Task(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def execute(self) -> int:
        """Execute task, return exit code."""
        pass

What ships with it

6 files 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.

python-cli-guidelines is a skill published in the GitHub repository wislertt/bakefile (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 827 tokens. 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.
