python-packaging SKILL.md skillA
python-packaging from wshobson/agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add wshobson/agents/python-packaging@git:20260522.be57c0bPins git:20260522.be57c0b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Create distributable Python packages with proper project structure, setup.py/pyproject.toml, and publishing to PyPI. Use when packaging Python libraries, creating CLI tools, or distributing Python 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
# Python Packaging Comprehensive guide to creating, structuring, and distributing Python packages using modern packaging tools, pyproject.toml, and publishing to PyPI. ## When to Use This Skill - Creating Python libraries for distribution - Building command-line tools with entry points - Publishing packages to PyPI or private repositories - Setting up Python project structure - Creating installable packages with dependencies - Building wheels and source distributions - Versioning and releasing Python packages - Creating namespace packages - Implementing package metadata and classifiers ## Core Concepts ### 1. Package Structure - **Source layout**: `src/package_name/` (recommended) - **Flat layout**: `package_name/` (simpler but less flexible) - **Package metadata**: pyproject.toml, setup.py, or setup.cfg - **Distribution formats**: wheel (.whl) and source distribution (.tar.gz) ### 2. Modern Packaging Standards - **PEP 517/518**: Build system requirements - **PEP 621**: Metadata in pyproject.toml - **PEP 660**: Editable installs - **pyproject.toml**: Single source of configuration ### 3. Build Backends - **setuptools**: Traditional, widely used …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/python-packaging@sha256:744653d7bca3b0cfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260522.be57c0b, 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.
