Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Python Code Style & Documentation Consistent code style and clear documentation make codebases maintainable and collaborative. This skill covers modern Python tooling, naming conventions, and documentation standards. ## When to Use This Skill - Setting up linting and formatting for a new project - Writing or reviewing docstrings - Establishing team coding standards - Configuring ruff, mypy, or pyright - Reviewing code for style consistency - Creating project documentation ## Core Concepts ### 1. Automated Formatting Let tools handle formatting debates. Configure once, enforce automatically. ### 2. Consistent Naming Follow PEP 8 conventions with meaningful, descriptive names. ### 3. Documentation as Code Docstrings should be maintained alongside the code they describe. ### 4. Type Annotations Modern Python code should include type hints for all public APIs. ## Quick Start ```bash # Install modern tooling pip install ruff mypy # Configure in pyproject.toml [tool.ruff] line-length = 120 target-version = "py312" # Adjust based on your project's minimum Python version [tool.mypy] strict = true ``` ## Fundamental Patterns ### Pattern 1: Modern Python Tooling Use `ruff` as an all-in-one

What does the python-code-style skill do?
Python code style, linting, formatting, naming conventions, and documentation standards. Use when writing new code, reviewing style, configuring linters, writing docstrings, or establishing project standards.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill python-code-style --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 wshobson/agents, a repository with 38,479 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.
