Use when a Python change is about to be called done (before commit or PR) and whenever asked to review, audit, sanity-check, or clean up Python code or judge whether it meets standards. Also use at decision points the defaults cover: choosing retry/timeout/idempotency policy, config loading, pydantic placement, module boundaries, or a concurrency model.

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 House Style Audit

## Overview

House style for Python, framed as an audit: rather than carrying a rulebook while writing code, sweep the target (a diff, file, package, or repo) for violations and report them.
The audit has two tiers: mechanical checks delegated to ruff, and judgment checks no linter can express.
Frontier coding agents already write reasonable Python, so the checks below are limited to the residual house preferences worth checking.

Every default below is a preferred starting point.
If a default conflicts with project constraints or worsens the outcome, follow the project and state the tradeoff and compensating controls (tests, observability, migration, rollback).

## When to Use

- A Python change is complete and about to be committed or shipped: audit the diff as part of wrapping up.
- Asked to review, audit, sanity-check, or clean up Python code, or whether it meets standards.
- Choosing among reliability, configuration, typing/validation, boundary, or concurrency approaches: the matching tier 2 section is the house default.
- Deciding which validation checks a Python change needs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahgraber/skills/python@sha256:977d54c15168adfa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.209d97b, 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.
