Python Style Skill
Apply Python best practices when reviewing or writing code.
Style Guidelines
- Follow PEP 8 for formatting
- Use type annotations for all public functions (PEP 484)
- Write docstrings for public APIs (PEP 257)
- Prefer f-strings over .format() or % formatting
Common Issues to Flag
- Missing type annotations on public functions
- Mutable default arguments (def foo(items=[]))
- Bare except clauses (except: instead of except Exception:)
- Using assert for validation (stripped in optimized mode)
