python-standards skillA

python-standards is agent-read markdown (skill) from microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills: Python coding standards for Amplifier including type hints, async patterns, error handling, and formatting. Use when writing Python code for Amplifier modules..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Python Coding Standards

## Type Hints

**ALL functions must have complete type hints:**

```python
from typing import Any

async def process_data(items: list[str], config: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
    """Process data items with configuration."""
    results = {}
    for item in items:
        results[item] = await transform(item, config)
    return results
```

**Include type hints for self:**

```python
class MyClass:
    def __init__(self: "MyClass", name: str) -> None:
        self.name = name

    async def process(self: "MyClass") -> str:
        return f"Processing {self.name}"
```

## Async Patterns

**All I/O operations must be async:**

```python
# Good
async def read_file(path: Path) -> str:
    content = path.read_text()  # For now, sync is OK
    return content

# Better (when using async libraries)
async def read_file(path: Path) -> str:
    async with aiofiles.open(path) as f:
        return await f.read()
```

**Use asyncio.gather for parallel operations:**

```python
async def process_files(files: list[Path]) -> list[dict]:
    tasks = [process_file(f) for f in files]
    return await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
```

How to install

Latest version
mdr add microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills/python-standards@v1.0.0
Exact content
mdr add microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills/python-standards@sha256:d4e7738e6b277101

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
