Basedpyright static type checker configuration, installation, and usage patterns. Use when implementing type checking, configuring LSP, comparing type checkers, or setting up strict type validation in Python projects. Triggered by: basedpyright, pyright, type checking, LSP, mypy alternative, static analysis.

Advanced pytest patterns including fixtures, markers, parametrization, and parallel execution. Use when implementing test infrastructure, organizing test suites, writing fixtures, or running tests with coverage. Covers pytest-cov, pytest-asyncio, pytest-xdist, pytest-mock.

Python code quality with ruff (linting & formatting) and ty (type checking). Covers pyproject.toml configuration, pre-commit hooks, and type hints. Use when user mentions ruff, ty, linting, formatting, type checking, code style, or Python code quality.

Core Python development concepts, idioms, best practices, and language features. Covers Python 3.10+ features, type hints, async/await, and Pythonic patterns. For running scripts, see uv-run. For project setup, see uv-project-management. Use when user mentions Python, type hints, async Python, decorators, context managers, or writing Pythonic code.

Build and publish Python packages with uv and modern build tools. Covers uv build, uv publish, pyproject.toml, versioning, entry points, and PyPI publishing. Use when user mentions building packages, publishing to PyPI, uv build, uv publish, package distribution, or Python wheel/sdist creation.

Python testing with pytest, coverage, fixtures, parametrization, and mocking. Covers test organization, conftest.py, markers, async testing, and TDD workflows. Use when user mentions pytest, unit tests, test coverage, fixtures, mocking, or writing Python tests.

Python code formatting with ruff format. Fast, Black-compatible formatting for consistent code style. Use when formatting Python files, enforcing style, or checking format compliance.

Integrate ruff into development workflows: editor setup, pre-commit hooks, and CI/CD pipelines. Use when configuring ruff in VS Code, setting up pre-commit hooks, or adding ruff to GitHub Actions. For ruff rules/linting config see ruff-linting skill; for formatting see ruff-formatting skill.

Python code quality with ruff linter. Fast linting, rule selection, auto-fixing, and configuration. Use when checking Python code quality, enforcing standards, or finding bugs.

Python type checking with ty, Astral's extremely fast type checker (10-100x faster than mypy/Pyright). Use when checking Python types, configuring type checking rules, or setting up type checking in projects. Triggered by: ty, type checking, type errors, static analysis, mypy alternative, pyright alternative.

Advanced dependency scenarios in uv projects: Git dependencies, path dependencies, editable installs, dependency groups, extras, constraints, and custom indexes. Use when user mentions git+https dependencies, local path dependencies, editable installs, dependency groups, or private package indexes.

Python project setup, dependencies, and lockfiles with uv package manager. Covers uv init, uv add, uv remove, uv lock, uv sync, and pyproject.toml configuration. Use when user mentions uv, creating Python projects, managing dependencies, lockfiles, pyproject.toml, or Python packaging with uv.

Install and manage Python interpreter versions with uv. Covers uv python install, uv python list, uv python pin, version pinning with .python-version file. Use when user mentions installing Python versions, switching Python versions, .python-version, uv python, or managing CPython/PyPy interpreters.

Run Python scripts with uv including inline dependencies (PEP 723), temporary dependencies (--with), and ephemeral tool execution. Use when running scripts, needing one-off dependencies, or creating executable Python scripts. No venv activation required.

Install and manage global Python CLI tools with uv (pipx alternative). Covers uv tool install, uvx for ephemeral execution, tool isolation, and updates. Use when user mentions uv tool, uvx, installing CLI tools globally, pipx replacement, or running Python tools without installation.

Manage monorepo and multi-package Python projects with uv workspaces. Covers workspace configuration, virtual workspaces, member dependencies, shared lockfiles, source inheritance, and building. Use when user mentions uv workspaces, Python monorepo, multi-package projects, workspace members, or shared dependencies across packages.

Vulture and deadcode tools for detecting unused Python code (functions, classes, variables, imports). Use when cleaning up codebases, removing unused code, or enforcing code hygiene in CI. Triggered by: vulture, deadcode, dead code detection, unused code, code cleanup, remove unused.
