What format is the output provided in?

The output is a simple string representing the major and minor version, such as '3.10' or '3.12'.

Why is it important for Claude to know the Python version?

Knowing the specific version helps Claude avoid suggesting code features that may not be supported in older versions or suggesting deprecated patterns in newer ones.

Does this work with virtual environments?

Yes, as long as the detection script is executed within the context of the active environment, it will accurately report the version in use.

How does the skill detect the Python version?

The skill runs a specific script located at scripts/detect_version.py within the repository to output the version in major.minor format.

Developer Tools

Identifies the specific Python major and minor version used within a repository to ensure environment compatibility.

The Python Version Detector skill provides Claude with the ability to programmatically determine the exact Python runtime version used by the current project. By executing a specialized detection script, it ensures that Claude understands the language constraints and available features of the project's specific environment. This allows the AI to provide more accurate code suggestions, avoid deprecated syntax, and ensure that any generated code is fully compatible with the local development or production environment.
