Can I use this with existing projects?

Yes, this skill is designed both for initializing new projects and for modernizing existing ones to use pyproject.toml and modern linting/testing tools.

Why does this skill use the src/ layout?

The src/ layout is a best practice that prevents accidental imports of development code, ensuring your tests run against the installed package rather than the local directory.

Does it support CI/CD?

Yes, it provides automated setup for GitHub Actions to ensure your code is tested and linted on every push.

Which tools are included by default?

The skill configures Ruff for linting and formatting, Pytest for testing, Mypy for type checking, and pre-commit for automated git hooks.
