Modern Python tooling practices for the mycelium project. An agent skill from mycelium-io/mycelium.

  • Installing dependencies
  • SKILL.md covers Core Rules, Quick Reference, Project Structure and Linting & Formatting, plus 3 more sections
  • Calls uv, pip and python
  • Managing environments

What it does

Modern Python is an agent skill from mycelium-io/mycelium. Modern Python tooling practices for the mycelium project. Use when installing dependencies, running tools, managing environments, or writing Python code. Always active as a background reference.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Linting and formatting. It works with Python, Ruff, pytest and FastAPI. The repository describes itself as: Multi-agent coordination + persistent memory, semantic negotiation, async rooms, and a shared knowledge graph.

When your agent uses it

  • Installing dependencies
  • Managing environments
  • Writing Python code

Example prompts

  • “/modern-python”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a45bca1. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv
    • pip
    • python
    • ruff

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Modern Python loads about 752 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~752

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 224 words (~752 tokens).

“This project uses uv for package management, ruff for linting/formatting, and pytest for testing.”
