Write, edit, refactor, or review Python in easy-cheese with concise stdlib-first code, Python 3.12, wedge .pyz packaging, and repository test and validation conventions. Use for Python changes under src/, scripts/, .github/scripts/, or tests/, especially when the user asks for Pythonic, succinct, de-slopped, dataclass-based, CLI, validator, or bundled-helper code.

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

# Authoring Python

Produce the smallest readable Python change that satisfies the request and matches easy-cheese.

This is a repository-local skill. Keep it under `.agents/skills/python-authoring/`; do not mirror it into the published `skills/` tree or add `agents/openai.yaml`. Renaming this directory requires updating the matching `!.agents/skills/<dir>/` line in `.gitignore` — that path list is an allowlist, so a renamed dir without its own line is silently untracked.

## Work in this order

1. Read the root configuration, owning skill, target exports, immediate callers, and nearby conventions.
2. Keep every changed line traceable to the request. Do not invent orchestration, compatibility layers, abstractions, dependencies, or future flexibility.
3. Put code in the owning package and preserve the bundle boundary.
4. Validate untrusted input once at the boundary, then work with typed trusted data.
5. Choose the clearest succinct Python construct; do not compress code until it becomes harder to read.
6. Remove only slop introduced by the change and code that the change orphaned.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese/python-authoring@sha256:2ac071f6906dd9fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.ae5d5a6, 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.
