python-resilience SKILL.md skillA
python-resilience from dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/python-resilience@git:20260205.788be98Pins git:20260205.788be98 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Python resilience patterns including automatic retries, exponential backoff, timeouts, and fault-tolerant decorators. Use when adding retry logic, implementing timeouts, building fault-tolerant services, or handling transient failures.
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 Resilience Patterns
Build fault-tolerant Python applications that gracefully handle transient failures, network issues, and service outages. Resilience patterns keep systems running when dependencies are unreliable.
## When to Use This Skill
- Adding retry logic to external service calls
- Implementing timeouts for network operations
- Building fault-tolerant microservices
- Handling rate limiting and backpressure
- Creating infrastructure decorators
- Designing circuit breakers
## Core Concepts
### 1. Transient vs Permanent Failures
Retry transient errors (network timeouts, temporary service issues). Don't retry permanent errors (invalid credentials, bad requests).
### 2. Exponential Backoff
Increase wait time between retries to avoid overwhelming recovering services.
### 3. Jitter
Add randomness to backoff to prevent thundering herd when many clients retry simultaneously.
### 4. Bounded Retries
Cap both attempt count and total duration to prevent infinite retry loops.
## Quick Start
```python
from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt, wait_exponential_jitter
@retry(
stop=stop_after_attempt(3),
wait=wait_exponential_jitter(initial=1, max=10),

How to install
mdr add dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/python-resilience@sha256:5662dd15560beaaaThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260205.788be98, 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.
