# Opinionated Python Development Skill

## Role Identification (Mandatory)

The model must identify its ROLE_TYPE and echo the following statement:

```text
My ROLE_TYPE is "<the role type>". I follow instructions given to "the model" and "<role name>".
```

Where:

- `<the role type>` is either "orchestrator" or "sub-agent" based on the ROLE_TYPE identification rules in CLAUDE.md
- `<role name>` is "orchestrator" if ROLE_TYPE is orchestrator, or "sub-agent" if ROLE_TYPE is sub-agent

**Example for orchestrator:**

```text
My ROLE_TYPE is "orchestrator". I follow instructions given to "the model" and "orchestrator".
```

**Example for sub-agent:**

```text
My ROLE_TYPE is "sub-agent". I follow instructions given to "the model" and "sub-agent".
```

## Core Concepts

### Python Development Standards

This skill provides orchestration patterns, modern Python 3.11+ standards, quality gates, and reference documentation for Python development.

**Commands** (external - in `~/.claude/commands/`):

- `/modernpython` - Validates Python 3.11+ patterns, identifies legacy code
- `/shebangpython` - Validates correct shebang for all Python scripts
- Note: This skill contains command templates in `commands/` directory, not the actual slash commands

**Reference Documentation**:

- Modern Python modules (50+ libraries)
- Tool and library registry with template variable system
- API specifications
- Working configurations for pyproject.toml, ruff, mypy, pytest

**Docstring Standard**: Google style (Args/Returns/Raises sections). See [User Project Conventions](./references/user-project-conventions.md) for ruff pydocstyle configuration (`convention = "google"`).

**CRITICAL: Pyproject.toml Template Variables**:

All pyproject.toml examples use explicit template variables (e.g., `{{project_name_from_directory_or_git_remote}}`) instead of generic placeholders. The model MUST replace ALL template variables with actual values before creating files. See [Tool & Library Registry sections 18-19](./references/tool-library-registry.md#18-pyprojecttoml-template-variable-reference) for:

- Complete variable reference and sourcing methods
- Mandatory rules for file creation
- Validation and verification procedures

### Script Dependency Trade-offs

Understand the complexity vs portability trade-off when creating Python CLI scripts:

**Scripts with dependencies (Typer + Rich via PEP 723)**:

- ✅ **LESS development complexity** - Leverage well-tested libraries for argument parsing, formatting, validation
- ✅ **LESS code to write** - Typer handles CLI boilerplate, Rich handles output formatting
- ✅ **Better UX** - Colors, progress bars, structured output built-in
- ✅ **Just as simple to execute** - PEP 723 makes it a single-file executable; uv handles dependencies automatically
- ❌ **Requires network access** on first run (to fetch packages)

**stdlib-only scripts**:

- ❌ **MORE development complexity** - Build everything from scratch (manual argparse, manual tree formatting, manual color codes)
- ❌ **MORE code to write and test** - Everything must be implemented manually
- ❌ **Basic UX** - Limited formatting without external libraries
- ✅ **Maximum portability** - Runs on ANY Python installation without network access
- ✅ **Best for:** Air-gapped systems, restricted corporate environments, embedded systems

**Default recommendation:** Use Typer + Rich with PEP 723 unless you have specific portability requirements that prevent network access.

**See:**

- [Python Development Orchestration Guide](./references/python-development-orchestration.md) for detailed agent selection criteria
- [Typer and Rich CLI Examples](./assets/typer_examples/index.md) for Rich width handling solutions

### Rich Panel and Table Width Handling

**Common Problem**: Rich containers (Panel, Table) wrap content at 80 characters in CI/non-TTY environments, breaking URLs, commands, and structured output.

**Two Solutions Depending on Context**:

#### Solution 1: Plain Text (No Containers)

For plain text output that shouldn't wrap:

```python
from rich.console import Console

console = Console()

# URLs, paths, commands - never wrap
console.print(long_url, crop=False, overflow="ignore")
```

#### Solution 2: Rich Containers (Panel/Table)

For Panel and Table that contain long content, `crop=False` alone doesn't work because containers calculate their own internal layout. Use `get_rendered_width()` helper with different patterns for Panel vs Table:

```python
from rich.console import Console, RenderableType
from rich.measure import Measurement
from rich.panel import Panel
from rich.table import Table

def get_rendered_width(renderable: RenderableType) -> int:
    """Get actual rendered width of Rich renderable.

    Handles color codes, Unicode, styling, padding, borders.
    Works with Panel, Table, or any Rich container.
    """
    temp_console = Console(width=9999)
    measurement = Measurement.get(temp_console, temp_console.options, renderable)
    return int(measurement.maximum)

console = Console()

# Panel: Set Console width (Panel fills Console width)
panel = Panel(long_content)
panel_width = get_rendered_width(panel)
console.width = panel_width  # Set Console width, NOT panel.width
console.print(panel, crop=False, overflow="ignore", no_wrap=True, soft_wrap=True)

# Table: Set Table width (Table controls its own width)
table = Table()
table.add_column("Type", style="cyan", no_wrap=True)
table.add_column("Value", style="green", no_wrap=True)
table.add_row("Data", long_content)
table.width = get_rendered_width(table)  # Set Table width
console.print(table, crop=False, overflow="ignore", no_wrap=True, soft_wrap=True)
```

**Executable Examples**: See [./assets/typer_examples/](./assets/typer_examples/index.md) for complete working scripts:

- `console_no_wrap_example.py` - Plain text wrapping solutions
- `console_containers_no_wrap.py` - Panel/Table width handling with `get_rendered_width()`

### Rich Emoji Usage

**CRITICAL**: In Rich console output, always use Rich emoji tokens, never literal Unicode emojis.

**Never:**

- Literal Unicode: `✅ ❌ 🔍`
- Problems: Inconsistent rendering, markdown alignment issues, terminal font dependencies

**Always:**

- Rich emoji tokens: `:white_check_mark: :cross_mark: :magnifying_glass:`
- Benefits: Cross-platform compatibility, consistent rendering, markdown-safe

**Example:**

```python
from rich.console import Console

console = Console()

# ❌ Wrong - literal Unicode emojis
console.print("✅ Task completed")
console.print("❌ Task failed")

# ✅ Correct - Rich emoji tokens
console.print(":white_check_mark: Task completed")
console.print(":cross_mark: Task failed")
console.print(":sparkles: New feature")
console.print(":rocket: Performance improvement")
```

**Why this matters:**

- Rich emoji tokens work consistently across all terminals and fonts
- Avoid markdown table alignment issues (emoji width calculation problems)
- Enable proper width measurement in `get_rendered_width()`
- Ensure cross-platform compatibility (Windows, Linux, macOS)

**See**: [Rich Emoji Documentation](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/appendix/colors.html#appendix-emoji) for complete emoji token reference.

### Python Exception Handling

Catch exceptions only when you have a specific recovery action. Let all other errors propagate to the caller.

**Pattern**:

```python
def get_user(id):
    return db.query(User, id)  # Errors surface naturally

def get_user_with_handling(id):
    try:
        return db.query(User, id)
    except ConnectionError:
        logger.warning("DB unavailable, using cache")
        return cache.get(f"user:{id}")  # Specific recovery action
```

When adding try/except, answer: "What specific error do I expect, and what is my recovery action?"

**See**: [Exception Handling in Python CLI Applications](./references/exception-handling.md) for comprehensive patterns including Typer exception chain prevention.

<section ROLE_TYPE="orchestrator">

## Agent Orchestration (Orchestrator Only)

### Delegation Pattern

The orchestrator must delegate Python development tasks to specialized agents rather than implementing directly.

**The orchestrator must**:

1. Read the complete orchestration guide before delegating tasks
2. Choose appropriate agents based on task requirements
3. Provide clear context: file paths, success criteria, scope boundaries
4. Chain agents for complex workflows (design → implement → test → review)
5. Validate outputs with quality gates

**The orchestrator must NOT**:

- Write Python implementation code directly
- Create tests directly
- Review code directly
- Make technical decisions that agents should determine

### Required Reading

**The orchestrator must read and understand the complete agent selection guide before delegating any Python development task:**

[Python Development Orchestration Guide](./references/python-development-orchestration.md)

This guide contains:

- Agent selection criteria and decision trees
- Workflow patterns (TDD, feature addition, code review, refactoring, debugging)
- Quality gates and validation requirements
- Delegation best practices

### Quick Reference Example

```text
User: "Build a CLI tool to process CSV files"

Orchestrator workflow:
1. Read orchestration guide for agent selection
2. Delegate to @agent-python-cli-architect
   "Create CSV processing CLI with Typer+Rich progress bars"
3. Delegate to @agent-python-pytest-architect
   "Create test suite for CSV processor"
4. Instruct agent to run: /shebangpython, /modernpython
5. Delegate to @agent-python-code-reviewer
   "Review CSV processor implementation"
6. Validate: uv run pre-commit run --all-files && uv run pytest
```

</section>

## Command Usage

### /modernpython

**Purpose**: Comprehensive reference guide for Python 3.11+ patterns with official PEP citations

**When to use**:

- As reference guide when writing new code
- Learning modern Python 3.11-3.14 features and patterns
- Understanding official PEPs (585, 604, 695, etc.)
- Identifying legacy patterns to avoid
- Finding modern alternatives for old code

**Note**: This is a reference document to READ, not an automated validation tool. Use it to guide your implementation choices.

**Usage**:

```text
/modernpython
→ Loads comprehensive reference guide
→ Provides Python 3.11+ pattern examples
→ Includes PEP citations with WebFetch commands
→ Shows legacy patterns to avoid
→ Shows modern alternatives to use
→ Framework-specific guides (Typer, Rich, pytest)
```

**With file path argument**:

```text
/modernpython src/mymodule.py
→ Loads guide for reference while working on specified file
→ Use guide to manually identify and refactor legacy patterns
```

### /shebangpython

**Purpose**: Validate correct shebang for ALL Python scripts based on their dependencies and execution context

**When to use**:

- Creating any standalone executable Python script
- Validating script shebang correctness
- Ensuring scripts have proper execution configuration

**Required for**: ALL executable Python scripts (validates shebang matches script type)

**What it validates**:

- **Stdlib-only scripts**: `#!/usr/bin/env python3` (no PEP 723 needed - nothing to declare)
- **Scripts with dependencies**: `#!/usr/bin/env -S uv --quiet run --active --script` + PEP 723 metadata declaring those dependencies
- **Package executables**: `#!/usr/bin/env python3` (dependencies via package manager)
- **Library modules**: No shebang (not directly executable)

**See**: [PEP 723 Reference](./references/PEP723.md) for details on inline script metadata

**Pattern**:

```text
/shebangpython scripts/deploy.py
→ Analyzes imports to determine dependency type
→ **Corrects shebang** to match script type (edits file if wrong)
→ **Adds PEP 723 metadata** if external dependencies detected (edits file)
→ **Removes PEP 723 metadata** if stdlib-only (edits file)
→ Sets execute bit if needed
→ Provides detailed verification report
```

<section ROLE_TYPE="orchestrator">

## Core Workflows (Orchestrator Only)

The orchestrator must follow established workflow patterns for Python development tasks. See [Python Development Orchestration Guide](./references/python-development-orchestration.md) for complete details.

### Workflow Overview

1. **TDD (Test-Driven Development)**: Design → Write Tests → Implement → Review → Validate
2. **Feature Addition**: Requirements → Architecture → Plan → Implement → Test → Review
3. **Code Review**: Self-Review → Standards Check → Agent Review → Fix → Re-validate
4. **Refactoring**: Tests First → Refactor → Validate → Review
5. **Debugging**: Reproduce → Trace → Fix → Test → Review

Each workflow uses agent chaining with specific quality gates. See the orchestration guide for complete patterns, examples, and best practices.

</section>

## Linting Discovery Protocol

**The model MUST execute this discovery sequence before any linting or formatting operations**:

### Discovery Sequence

1. **Check for pre-commit configuration**:

   ```bash
   # Verify .pre-commit-config.yaml exists
   test -f .pre-commit-config.yaml && echo "pre-commit detected"
   ```

   **If found**: Use `uv run pre-commit run --files <files>` for ALL quality checks
   - This runs the complete toolchain configured in the project
   - Includes formatting, linting, type checking, and custom validators
   - Matches exactly what runs in CI and blocks merges

2. **Else check CI pipeline configuration**:

   ```bash
   # Check for GitLab CI or GitHub Actions
   test -f .gitlab-ci.yml || find .github/workflows -name "*.yml" 2>/dev/null
   ```

   **If found**: Read the CI config to identify required linting tools and their exact commands
   - Look for `ruff`, `mypy`, `basedpyright`, `pyright`, `bandit` invocations
   - Note the exact commands and flags used
   - Execute those specific commands to ensure CI compatibility

3. **Else fallback to tool detection**:
   - Check `pyproject.toml` `[project.optional-dependencies]` or `[dependency-groups]` for dev tools
   - Use discovered tools with standard configurations

### Format-First Workflow

**CRITICAL**: The model MUST always format before linting.

**Rationale**: Formatting operations (like `ruff format`) automatically fix many linting issues (whitespace, line length, quote styles). Running linting before formatting wastes context and creates false positives.

**Mandatory sequence**:

1. **Format**: `uv run ruff format <files>` or via pre-commit
2. **Lint**: `uv run ruff check <files>` or via pre-commit
3. **Type check**: Use project-configured type checker
4. **Test**: `uv run pytest`

**When using pre-commit**:

```bash
# Pre-commit runs tools in configured order (formatting first)
uv run pre-commit run --files <files>
```

The `.pre-commit-config.yaml` already specifies correct ordering - trust it.

### Type Checker Discovery

**The model MUST detect which type checker the project uses**:

**Detection priority**:

1. Check `.pre-commit-config.yaml` for `basedpyright`, `pyright`, or `mypy` hooks
2. Check `pyproject.toml` for `[tool.basedpyright]`, `[tool.pyright]`, or `[tool.mypy]` sections
3. Check `.gitlab-ci.yml` or GitHub Actions for type checker invocations

**Common patterns**:

- **basedpyright**: GitLab projects (native GitLab reporting format)
- **pyright**: General TypeScript-style projects
- **mypy**: Python-first type checking

**Example detection**:

```bash
# Check pre-commit config
grep -E "basedpyright|pyright|mypy" .pre-commit-config.yaml

# Check pyproject.toml
grep -E "^\[tool\.(basedpyright|pyright|mypy)\]" pyproject.toml
```

**Never assume** - always detect from project configuration.

## Quality Gates

**The model MUST follow the Linting Discovery Protocol before executing quality gates.**

**Every Python task must pass**:

1. **Format-first**: `uv run ruff format <files>` (or via pre-commit)
2. **Linting**: `uv run ruff check <files>` (clean, after formatting)
3. **Type checking**: Use **detected type checker** (`basedpyright`, `pyright`, or `mypy`)
4. **Tests**: `uv run pytest` (>80% coverage)
5. **Modern patterns**: `/modernpython` (no legacy typing)
6. **Script compliance**: `/shebangpython` (for standalone scripts)

**Preferred execution method**:

```bash
# If .pre-commit-config.yaml exists (runs all checks in correct order):
uv run pre-commit run --files <changed_files>

# Else use individual tools in this exact sequence:
uv run ruff format <files>           # 1. Format first
uv run ruff check <files>            # 2. Lint after formatting
uv run <detected-type-checker> <files>  # 3. Type check (basedpyright/pyright/mypy)
uv run pytest                         # 4. Test
```

**For critical code** (payments, auth, security):

- Coverage >95%
- Mutation testing: `uv run mutmut run` (>90% score)
- Security scan: `uv run bandit -r packages/`

**CI Compatibility Verification**:

After local quality gates pass, verify CI will accept the changes:

1. If `.gitlab-ci.yml` exists: Check for additional validators not in pre-commit
2. If `.github/workflows/*.yml` exists: Check for additional quality gates
3. Ensure all CI-required checks are executed locally before claiming task completion

## Standard Project Structure

All Python projects MUST use this directory layout:

```text
project-root/
├── pyproject.toml
├── packages/
│   └── package_name/      # Package code (hyphens in project name → underscores)
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── ...
├── tests/
├── scripts/
├── sessions/              # Optional: cc-sessions framework
└── README.md
```

**Package Directory Naming**:

- Project name: `my-cli-tool` → Package directory: `packages/my_cli_tool/`
- Hyphens in project names become underscores in package directories
- The `packages/` directory distinguishes user code from external dependencies

**Hatchling Configuration**:

```toml
[tool.hatchling.build.targets.wheel]
packages = ["packages/package_name"]
```

This structure is consistent across all projects and enables clear separation of concerns.

## Integration

### External Reference Example

**Complete working example** (external): `~/.claude/agents/python-cli-demo.py`

This reference implementation demonstrates all recommended patterns:

- PEP 723 metadata with correct shebang
- Typer + Rich integration
- Modern Python 3.11+ (StrEnum, Protocol, TypeVar, Generics)
- Annotated syntax for CLI params
- Async processing
- Comprehensive docstrings

This file is not bundled with this skill and must be available in `~/.claude/agents/` separately. Use as reference when creating CLI tools.

### Using Asset Templates

When creating new Python projects, the model MUST copy standard configuration files from the skill's assets directory to ensure consistency with established conventions:

**Asset Directory Location**: `~/.claude/skills/python3-development/assets/`

**Available Templates**:

1. **version.py** - Dual-mode version management (hatch-vcs + importlib.metadata fallback)

   ```bash
   cp ~/.claude/skills/python3-development/assets/version.py packages/{package_name}/version.py
   ```

2. **hatch_build.py** - Build hook for binary/asset handling (only if needed)

   ```bash
   mkdir -p scripts/
   cp ~/.claude/skills/python3-development/assets/hatch_build.py scripts/hatch_build.py
   ```

3. **.markdownlint.json** - Markdown linting configuration

   ```bash
   cp ~/.claude/skills/python3-development/assets/.markdownlint.json .
   ```

4. **.pre-commit-config.yaml** - Standard pre-commit hooks

   ```bash
   cp ~/.claude/skills/python3-development/assets/.pre-commit-config.yaml .
   uv run pre-commit install
   ```

5. **.editorconfig** - Editor formatting settings
   ```bash
   cp ~/.claude/skills/python3-development/assets/.editorconfig .
   ```

These templates implement the patterns documented in [User Project Conventions](./references/user-project-conventions.md) and ensure all projects follow the same standards for version management, linting, formatting, and build configuration.
