Python Development Workflow

The canonical engineering rules are in python/CODING_STANDARD.md. Read and apply that document before changing Python source. Do not create or maintain a competing copy of the standards in this skill.

Before Editing

1. Read python/AGENTS.md and the nearest package AGENTS.md.
2. Identify whether the change affects package source, tests, samples, public exports, package governance, or more than one of those surfaces.
3. Read the task-specific skill when applicable:
   • python-testing for test design, integration markers, and test commands.
   • python-code-quality for formatting, linting, and type checking.
   • python-package-management for package creation, dependencies, public lazy exports, and package lifecycle.
   • python-feature-lifecycle for staged API decorators and promotion.
