What project structure does this skill recommend?

It implements the 'src/' layout pattern, which is the current best practice for packaging and testing Python applications.

Which Python libraries does this skill specialize in?

It specializes in FastAPI for APIs, Pydantic for validation, SQLAlchemy for ORM, and uv for dependency management.

Does it support modern dependency management?

Yes, it provides comprehensive guidance and command examples for using 'uv' as a faster alternative to pip and poetry.

How does this skill improve code quality?

It enforces strict type hinting with mypy, integrates ruff for linting/formatting, and follows PEP 8 and Google/NumPy docstring standards.

Can I use it for asynchronous programming?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for asynchronous FastAPI endpoints and testing with pytest-asyncio.

API Development

Guides the creation of high-quality Python applications using modern tools like FastAPI, Pydantic, and uv.

About

This skill provides Claude with domain-specific knowledge to architect, develop, and maintain production-grade Python projects. It focuses on the modern Python ecosystem, emphasizing high performance and type safety through FastAPI and Pydantic. By enforcing strict mypy type checking and ruff linting, it ensures code follows PEP 8 standards. It also streamlines development workflows using the uv package manager and a standardized project layout, making it ideal for developers building scalable APIs, microservices, or data-driven applications.

Key Features

Modern dependency management and project initialization via uv
Automated linting and formatting standards using ruff
Standardized src/ directory layout for scalable project architecture
Strict type hinting and mypy configuration for robust code
FastAPI and Pydantic patterns for high-performance API development
1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Scaffolding a new FastAPI project with secure database integration
Optimizing Python developer workflows with pre-commit hooks and uv
Refactoring legacy code to meet modern mypy strict mode requirements
