Overview

This skill is a concise, well-structured starter for validating development workflows and teaching core standards. It guides users through quick-start steps, implementation patterns, and advanced mastery topics to help launch projects with consistent practices. It is optimized for testing and validation of tooling and processes in Python projects.

How this skill works

The skill inspects project structure, provides a small example function and a checklist for verification, and outlines principles like testing, documentation, and reviews. It presents layered learning: a quick start, implementation patterns, and advanced resources, plus bundled templates and scripts for immediate use. Users follow the checklist, run tests, and adopt the patterns to validate their project setup.

When to use it

  • Starting a new Python project and needing a validated baseline
  • Teaching or onboarding engineers on standards and best practices
  • Running quick checks to ensure tests and documentation exist
  • Creating templates and scripts to accelerate standardized setups
  • Validating CI/CD and code review workflows before release

Best practices

  • Adopt the core principles: standards, tests, documentation, and regular reviews
  • Run the provided quick checklist and automated tests as part of CI
  • Keep example code minimal and focused for clarity
  • Use bundled templates and scripts to enforce consistent project layout
  • Document integration points and cross-references for team onboarding

Example use cases

  • Initialize a new repository with a tested, documented baseline in under a minute
  • Run a training session that walks engineers through standards and sample code
  • Integrate templates and scripts into CI to enforce project policies
  • Audit an existing project for missing tests, documentation, or review processes
  • Prototype a small Python module and validate it against the quick checklist
