SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers bootstrap Python projects with a standardized structure, including a pyproject.toml, typed code, tests, and built-in tooling for quality assurance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project scaffolding: Create a clean project layout with src/ and tests/ directories, ready for development.
  • Typing & quality tooling: Configure type hints, pytest testing, and linting with ruff and mypy.
  • Guidance & best practices: Provide guidance on dataclasses, type hints, and maintainable code structure for scalable projects.

Quick Start

Initialize a new Python project skeleton with pyproject.toml, src/your_package/, tests/, and a basic setup for ruff/mypy, including a simple test to validate the setup.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a Python project with pyproject.toml?

To set up a Python project with pyproject.toml, you can scaffold a clean layout using src/ and tests/ directories, then configure ruff, mypy, and pytest to enforce typing and linting standards.

How do I configure ruff and mypy for Python type checking and linting?

Configuring ruff and mypy involves defining settings within your pyproject.toml file to establish automated type hint checking and linting workflows across development and CI environments.

What is the best way to structure a Python project for testing with pytest?

The best way to structure a Python project for pytest is to separate source code into a src/ directory and tests into a tests/ directory, ensuring maintainable code and scalable test workflows.

Do I need type hints in my Python project?

You need type hints in your Python project to enforce static typing via mypy, which improves code quality, maintainability, and reduces runtime errors during development and onboarding.

Can I use this Python scaffolding for CI environments?

Yes, you can use this Python scaffolding for CI environments because it standardizes tooling configurations for pytest, ruff, and mypy to automate quality assurance workflows.
