python-configuration SKILL.md skillA
python-configuration 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-configuration@git:20261030.0f73766Pins git:20261030.0f73766 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Python configuration management via environment variables and typed settings. Use when externalizing config, setting up pydantic-settings, managing secrets, or implementing environment-specific behavior.
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 Configuration Management Externalize configuration from code using environment variables and typed settings. Well-managed configuration enables the same code to run in any environment without modification. ## When to Use This Skill - Setting up a new project's configuration system - Migrating from hardcoded values to environment variables - Implementing pydantic-settings for typed configuration - Managing secrets and sensitive values - Creating environment-specific settings (dev/staging/prod) - Validating configuration at application startup ## Core Concepts ### 1. Externalized Configuration All environment-specific values (URLs, secrets, feature flags) come from environment variables, not code. ### 2. Typed Settings Parse and validate configuration into typed objects at startup, not scattered throughout code. ### 3. Fail Fast Validate all required configuration at application boot. Missing config should crash immediately with a clear message. ### 4. Sensible Defaults Provide reasonable defaults for local development while requiring explicit values for sensitive settings. ## Quick Start ```python from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings …

How to install
mdr add wshobson/agents/python-configuration@sha256:a9095f4388f7c61cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.0f73766, 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.
