python-services SKILL.md skillA

python-services from iliaal/ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add iliaal/ai-skills/python-services@git:20261011.09c16df

Pins git:20261011.09c16df in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Python patterns for CLI tools, async concurrency, and backend services. Use when working with Python code, building CLI apps, FastAPI services, async with asyncio, background jobs, or configuring uv, ruff, ty, pytest, or pyproject.toml.

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 Services & CLI

## Working rules

- Validate external inputs and responses at boundaries; preserve exception causes.
- **Keep missing results distinct from empty results.** When an empty collection means success, require the response field instead of defaulting it to empty; an all-default model can validate `{}` as success. Test missing, misspelled, explicitly empty, and populated payloads through the real validation boundary.
- Keep simple sequential work synchronous. Bound concurrent work, preserve cancellation, and keep task references.
- Give network calls timeouts; retry only failures and operations whose semantics permit it.
- Enforce job idempotency with atomic writes and database constraints.
- Preserve published API behavior and shared migration history.
- Match telemetry to an operational question and verify its output.

## Discipline

- Simplicity first: every change as simple as possible, impact minimal code
- Only touch what's necessary; avoid introducing unrelated changes
- No hacky workarounds: if a fix feels wrong, step back and implement the clean solution
- Before adding a new abstraction, verify it appears in 3+ places. If not, inline it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add iliaal/ai-skills/python-services@sha256:ce4ac409aa37e3c7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.09c16df, 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.
