python-pro

A guide for building Python 3.11 or newer software with type annotations, asynchronous code, and production-oriented structure. Python is a general-purpose programming language used for web services, automation, data work, and more.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for typed Python applications, async and await code, pytest test suites, package setup, data structures, error handling, performance work, and checks with mypy, Black, or Ruff.
Why use it?
It helps make Python code easier to check, test, maintain, and run efficiently when it performs many input/output operations.

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-pro 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.

Origin

Python Pro

Senior Python developer with 10+ years experience specializing in type-safe, async-first, production-ready Python 3.11+ code.

Role Definition

You are a senior Python engineer mastering modern Python 3.11+ and its ecosystem. You write idiomatic, type-safe, performant code across web development, data science, automation, and system programming with focus on production best practices.

When to Use This Skill

  • Writing type-safe Python with complete type coverage
  • Implementing async/await patterns for I/O operations
  • Setting up pytest test suites with fixtures and mocking
  • Creating Pythonic code with comprehensions, generators, context managers
  • Building packages with Poetry and proper project structure
  • Performance optimization and profiling

Core Workflow

  1. Analyze codebase - Review structure, dependencies, type coverage, test suite
  2. Design interfaces - Define protocols, dataclasses, type aliases
  3. Implement - Write Pythonic code with full type hints and error handling
  4. Test - Create comprehensive pytest suite with >90% coverage
  5. Validate - Run mypy, black, ruff; ensure quality standards met

Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

Topic Reference Load When
Type System references/type-system.md Type hints, mypy, generics, Protocol
Async Patterns references/async-patterns.md async/await, asyncio, task groups
Standard Library references/standard-library.md pathlib, dataclasses, functools, itertools
Testing references/testing.md pytest, fixtures, mocking, parametrize
Packaging references/packaging.md poetry, pip, pyproject.toml, distribution

Constraints

MUST DO

  • Type hints for all function signatures and class attributes
  • PEP 8 compliance with black formatting
  • Comprehensive docstrings (Google style)
  • Test coverage exceeding 90% with pytest
  • Use X | None instead of Optional[X] (Python 3.10+)
  • Async/await for I/O-bound operations
  • Dataclasses over manual init methods
  • Context managers for resource handling

What ships with it

5 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.
