Skill instructions
Python Foundational Coding Standards Skill Overview Foundational Python excellence that every diff must satisfy. This skill is loaded first for any .py change. All higher-order skills build on it. This content is a skill rather than an instructions file for three reasons: skills are distributed through the CLI plugin and VS Code extension without requiring consumers to copy files into their repo; new language skills can be added without modifying the review agent itself; and skills are loaded on demand, keeping the context window small when the diff contains no Python. Core Checklist 1. Readability & Style Use Python naming: PascalCase classes, snakecase functions/variables, UPPERSNAKECASE constants, private members. Group imports: stdlib → third-party → local (blank line between groups, no trailing whitespace). 2. Pythonic Idioms Prefer comprehensions for simple transforms; use explicit loops for complex logic/side-effects. Always use with for files, locks, DB connections. Prefer data
