Python Conventions — Team Patterns

When to Activate

• When writing code that uses environment variables or credentials
• When creating or modifying .env files
• When writing tests or following TDD
• When building or modifying code that calls external APIs (GitHub, Stripe, LDAP)
• When reviewing code that handles HTTP responses or LLM output

Conventions

Read skills/conventions.md for all team-specific rules: credential management patterns, API client rules (timeout, retry, logging), LLM response parsing, and testing patterns.

Behavioral Rules

Read guidelines.md for hard limits on credential handling, API timeouts, and testing requirements.
