description	Agent Skill for working with Python. Use when writing, editing, or reviewing Python code and scripts.

Python

General

• For complex python projects, use OOP and Dependency Injection pattern.
• Use uv run to execute Python scripts. Do not assume python or python3 commands are available.
• For standalone or one-off python scripts, declare libraries within the script using PEP 723.
• Prefer ty + ruff defaults unless the project specifies otherwise.
• Use absolute imports; avoid wildcard imports.
• Raise specific exceptions; avoid bare except.

Logging

• Use the logging module with percent formatting (e.g. logger.info("Processing %s items", count)).
• Put a module-level logger at the top of each file (e.g. logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)).
• Use logging formats that include relative file path and line number so logs are clickable in VS Code (e.g. %(filename)s:%(lineno)d).

Type Hints

• Use type hints for parameters, return types, and non-intuitive variables.
• Prefer modern typing/collections.abc types
• If a variable is assigned from a library function call with no return type, such variable need a type hint
• Avoid Any and object if possible; Call it out for scenarios that it is unavoidable
• Avoid typing.cast() if possible
• Avoid getattr() if possible; prefer direct attribute/method access for known APIs.
