What it does
Python Design Patterns is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Python design patterns including KISS, Separation of Concerns, Single Responsibility, and composition over inheritance. Use when making architecture decisions, refactoring code structure, or evaluating when abstractions are appropriate.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).
It sits in Development, covering Design patterns and Refactoring. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it
- Making architecture decisions
- Refactoring code structure
- Evaluating when abstractions are appropriate
Example prompts
- “/python-design-patterns”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- KISS (Keep It Simple)
- Single Responsibility (SRP)
- Composition Over Inheritance
- Rule of Three
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Python Design Patterns loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 382 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 382 words (~3,089 tokens).
“Write maintainable Python code using fundamental design principles. These patterns help you build systems that are easy to understand, test, and modify.”
