name: dignified-python-313 description: Load ONLY when Python 3.13 is the active Python environment. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring Python to ensure adherence to LBYL exception handling patterns, modern type syntax (list[str], str | None), pathlib operations, ABC-based interfaces, absolute imports, and explicit error boundaries at CLI level. Also provides production-tested code smell patterns for API design, parameter complexity, and code organization. Essential for maintaining dignified Python standards.

Dignified Python - Python 3.13 Coding Standards

Core Knowledge (ALWAYS Loaded)

Conditional Loading (Load Based on Task Patterns)

Core files above cover 80%+ of Python code patterns. Only load these additional files when you detect specific patterns:

Pattern detection examples:

• If task mentions "click" or "CLI" → Load cli-patterns.md
• If task mentions "subprocess" → Load subprocess.md

How to Use This Skill

1. Core knowledge is loaded automatically (LBYL, pathlib, ABC, imports, exceptions)
2. Type annotations are loaded automatically (common syntax + Python 3.13 specific features)
3. Additional patterns may require extra loading (CLI patterns, subprocess)
4. Each file is self-contained with complete guidance for its domain
