What it does

Once installed, the agent writes and reviews Python code following common best practices: readable code, explicit configuration, EAFP exception handling, modern type hints, specific exception classes, context managers for resource cleanup, and comprehensions or generators instead of clumsy loops. It is a set of written guidelines with good/bad code examples in Spanish; it does not add any new tools or run anything by itself.

Great for

  • Developers who want Python code reviewed or written in a cleaner, more conventional style
  • Teams refactoring older Python code toward type hints and proper error handling
  • Students learning idiomatic Python through side-by-side good and bad examples

Skip it if

  • Projects that need verified correctness or security audits: the skill is advice, not a linter or test runner, so generated code still needs testing
  • Non-Python codebases or Python versions far from the examples (the guidance mixes 3.8 and 3.9+ styles and does not state which version to target)

Try asking

  • “Revisa este módulo Python y sugiere mejoras de type hints y manejo de excepciones”
  • “Refactoriza este script para usar context managers y evitar except desnudos”
  • “Escribe una función Python para filtrar usuarios activos siguiendo PEP 8”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Specify your target Python version so the agent picks the right type-hint style (built-in generics vs typing module).
  • Ask the agent to also add tests or run your linter, since this skill only provides style guidance.
  • The skill's content is in Spanish; ask for English output if your team works in English.
