Skill instructions

Skill: Flask Best practices for Flask web development including routing, blueprints, and testing. When to Use Apply this skill when building Flask web applications or APIs — routing, blueprints, extensions, and testing. Project Structure - Use the application factory pattern (createapp()) to avoid global state and enable testing. - Organize features into Blueprints; register them in the factory. - Keep configuration in a config.py with classes like DevelopmentConfig, ProductionConfig. Routing and Views - Prefer explicit HTTP method decorators (@app.get, @app.post) over generic @app.route with methods=[...]. - Validate request data early; return 400 errors for malformed input before processing. - Use flask.abort() with appropriate HTTP codes rather than returning error responses manually. Extensions - Initialize extensions lazily with ext.initapp(app) inside the factory, not at module level. - Common extensions: Flask-SQLAlchemy, Flask-Migrate, Flask-Login, Flask-WTF, Flask-CORS.
