State-of-the-art Python engineering for both writing new Python and auditing existing Python code. Covers uv-based tooling and project setup, strict typing, idioms and pitfalls, asyncio structured concurrency, security (injection, deserialization, supply chain), performance, and FastAPI/Django/pytest practice. Use whenever the task involves Python source, pyproject.toml, requirements files, or Python tooling — building features, scaffolding projects, reviewing PRs, or hunting…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# SOTA Python (2026) ## Purpose This skill encodes the 2026 state of the art for Python: modern toolchain (uv + ruff + one strict type checker), Python ≥3.12 idioms, structured async, security-by-default, and measured performance work. It serves two modes: - **BUILD** — writing new code or modifying existing code to this standard. - **AUDIT** — reviewing existing code against this standard and reporting findings. The detailed rules live in `rules/*.md`. Read SKILL.md fully; load rules files on demand per the index table below. When in doubt between two rules files, the index's "read when" column decides. ## BUILD mode When creating or modifying Python code: 1. **Establish context first.** Check `pyproject.toml`, `uv.lock`, `.python-version`, ruff config, and the type checker in use. Match the project's floor (e.g., no `type` aliases on a 3.10 project). For a *new* project, scaffold per [rules/01](rules/01-tooling-project-setup.md): `uv init`, src/ layout, ruff with the standard select, strict checker, pre-commit. 2. **Default stack:** uv for env/deps (commit the lockfile), `ruff check --fix` + `ruff …

How to install
mdr add martinholovsky/sota-skills/sota-python@sha256:e1fea1edf2a2cf8fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.808c340, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
