Sets up Python projects with modern tooling including pyproject.toml, linting with ruff, formatting, type checking with mypy or pyright, testing with pytest, and pre-commit hooks. Triggers on: "setup Python project", "create Python package", "python project structure", "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 Project Setup
## Instructions
### Step 1: Gather Requirements
Ask:
1. What type of project? (library/package, web app, CLI tool, data pipeline)
2. Minimum Python version? (default: 3.11+)
3. Package manager preference? (pip, uv, poetry, pdm)
4. Layout preference? (src-layout or flat-layout)
5. What frameworks? (FastAPI, Django, Flask, Click, Typer)
6. CI platform? (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
### Step 2: Project Structure
**src-layout (recommended for libraries):**
```
my-project/
src/
my_package/
__init__.py
main.py
models.py
tests/
__init__.py
conftest.py
test_main.py
pyproject.toml
README.md
.pre-commit-config.yaml
.github/
workflows/
ci.yml
```
**flat-layout (simpler, for apps):**
```
my-project/
my_package/
__init__.py
main.py
tests/
conftest.py
test_main.py
pyproject.toml
README.md
```
Use src-layout by default. It prevents accidental imports of the source during testing.
### Step 3: Generate pyproject.toml
```toml
[build-system]
requires = ["hatchling"]
build-backend = "hatchling.build"
[project]
name = "my-package"
version = "0.1.0"

How to install
mdr add timwukp/agent-skills-best-practice/python-project-setup@sha256:6c2485fd83481e84The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
