# DBOS Python Best Practices Guide for building reliable, fault-tolerant Python applications with DBOS durable workflows. ## When to Use Reference these guidelines when: - Adding DBOS to existing Python code - Creating workflows and steps - Using queues for concurrency control - Implementing workflow communication (events, messages, streams) - Configuring and launching DBOS applications - Using DBOSClient from external applications - Testing DBOS applications ## Rule Categories by Priority | Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix | |----------|----------|--------|--------| | 1 | Lifecycle | CRITICAL | `lifecycle-` | | 2 | Workflow | CRITICAL | `workflow-` | | 3 | Step | HIGH | `step-` | | 4 | Queue | HIGH | `queue-` | | 5 | Communication | MEDIUM | `comm-` | | 6 | Pattern | MEDIUM | `pattern-` | | 7 | Testing | LOW-MEDIUM | `test-` | | 8 | Client | MEDIUM | `client-` | | 9 | Advanced | LOW | `advanced-` | ## Critical Rules ### DBOS Configuration and Launch A DBOS application MUST configure and launch DBOS inside its main function: ```python import os from dbos import DBOS, DBOSConfig @DBOS.workflow() def my_workflow(): pass if __name__ == "__main__": config: DBOSConfig = { "name": "

What does the dbos-python skill do?
Guide for building reliable, fault-tolerant Python applications with DBOS durable workflows. Use when adding DBOS to existing Python code, creating workflows and steps, or using queues for concurrency control.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill dbos-python --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
