SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers adopt and enforce modern Python type annotation syntax, improving code readability, maintainability, and catching type-related errors early.

Core Features & Use Cases

Modern Syntax Enforcement: Replaces legacy typing module constructs like Union and Optional with more concise pipe (|) syntax.
Type Alias Simplification: Utilizes the type statement for cleaner type aliasing.
Generic Syntax: Supports modern generic class and function definitions.
Use Case: When refactoring a Python codebase to be compatible with Python 3.10+, this Skill ensures that all type annotations adhere to the latest, most readable standards.

Quick Start

Apply modern Python type syntax rules to the codebase in the flext-core/src/ directory.

FAQPage Schema

How do I modernize Python type hints to use the pipe syntax instead of the typing module?▼

To modernize Python type hints, this Skill automatically replaces legacy typing module constructs like Union and Optional with concise pipe syntax. It enforces modern type annotation patterns for Python 3.10 and above, improving code readability and type safety.

What is the best way to refactor type aliases in a Python 3.10+ codebase?▼

The best way to refactor type aliases in a Python 3.10+ codebase is by using the type statement. This Skill enforces type alias simplification, replacing older aliasing methods with the modern type statement for cleaner and more readable code.

Does this modern type syntax enforcement support generic class and function definitions?▼

Yes, this modern type syntax enforcement fully supports generic syntax for modern generic class and function definitions. It targets Python codebases to improve type safety and code clarity by ensuring adherence to current PEP standards for type hinting.

When do I need to update Python type annotations for a Python 3.10 migration?▼

You need to update Python type annotations for a Python 3.10 migration when refactoring a codebase to be compatible with Python 3.10 and above. This Skill ensures all type annotations adhere to the latest, most readable standards, including Self, ParamSpec, and TypeVarTuple.

Can I use modern Python type hints with ParamSpec and TypeVarTuple in my existing code?▼

Yes, you can use modern Python type hints with ParamSpec and TypeVarTuple in existing code. This Skill enforces modern Python type annotation patterns, including ParamSpec and TypeVarTuple, targeting Python codebases to improve type safety and code clarity.

Why should I replace Optional and Union with modern type annotation patterns?▼

You should replace Optional and Union with modern type annotation patterns to improve code readability and maintainability. This Skill enforces concise pipe syntax, catching type-related errors early while ensuring adherence to PEP standards for type hinting in Python 3.10+.
