What it does
Python Style Guide is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Comprehensive Python programming guidelines based on Google's Python Style Guide. Use when Claude needs to write Python code, review Python code for style issues, refactor Python code, or provide Python programming guidance. Covers language rules (imports, exceptions, type annotations), style rules (naming conventions, formatting, docstrings), and best practices for clean, maintainable Python code.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/advanced_types.md`, `references/antipatterns.md` and `references/docstring_examples.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Technical documentation and Plain language and style rules. 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
- Claude needs to write Python code
- Review Python code for style issues
- Refactor Python code
- Provide Python programming guidance
Example prompts
- “/python-style-guide”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Use type annotations for all functions
- Follow naming conventions consistently
- Write clear docstrings for all public APIs
- Keep functions focused and reasonably sized
- Use comprehensions for simple cases
- Prefer implicit false in boolean contexts
- Use f-strings for formatting
- Always use context managers for resources
- Run pylint and fix issues
- BE CONSISTENT with existing code
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. 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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
google.github.io
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 Style Guide loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 639 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 639 words (~2,780 tokens).
“Comprehensive guidelines for writing clean, maintainable Python code based on Google's Python Style Guide.”
