python-standards SKILL.md skillA
python-standards from microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills/python-standards@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Python coding standards for Amplifier including type hints, async patterns, error handling, and formatting. Use when writing Python code for Amplifier modules.
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
# 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
mdr add microsoft/amplifier-bundle-skills/python-standards@sha256:d4e7738e6b277101The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
