Use when a program reads configuration from its environment — writing or extending a settings class, deciding whether a field gets a default, carrying a secret, or deciding where the settings object is built and how its values reach the code that uses them. Owns one settings class per configured component, the non-strict namespace, no default on a required field or a tunable, the secret type and where it is unwrapped, derived values, validation that only normalizes or rejects, construction at…
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 — Settings A program's configuration arrives from its environment, and one kind of class reads it: the settings class. This skill owns what that class declares, which of its fields may default, how a secret travels through it, and where the object is built. It holds in any Python program — a service of either architecture family, a CLI tool, a library — because every one of them either reads configuration or is handed it. ## When to use vs. neighbours - What a settings class or its environment prefix is called, the nested-prefix collision, and the stem a shared library reads → `naming` (its rule 7 and **One environment prefix per settings class**). - A settings object, client or engine built at module level → `python-packaging` rule 8, which owns building nothing at import time; this skill owns where the settings object is built instead. - A field's annotation → `python-style`; keeping a secret out of a log line → `python-logging`. - Building settings inside a test, `monkeypatch.setenv`, and dotenv files leaking into a test run → `test-principles`. - Renaming an environment variable that is already deployed → `naming`'s **Renaming**; the name is a …

How to install
mdr add wntic/pyhouse/python-settings@sha256:1ba91ba4b3754d16The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.4a676ac, 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.
