Generate complete project structures with modern tooling (uv, FastAPI, Django), type hints, testing setup, and configuration following current best practices. ## Use this skill when - Working on python project scaffolding tasks or workflows - Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for python project scaffolding ## Do not use this skill when - The task is unrelated to python project scaffolding - You need a different domain or tool outside this scope ## Context The user needs automated Python project scaffolding that creates consistent, type-safe applications with proper structure, dependency management, testing, and tooling. Focus on modern Python patterns and scalable architecture. ## Requirements $ARGUMENTS ## Instructions ### 1. Analyze Project Type Determine the project type from user requirements: - **FastAPI**: REST APIs, microservices, async applications - **Django**: Full-stack web applications, admin panels, ORM-heavy projects - **Library**: Reusable packages, utilities, tools - **CLI**: Command-line tools, automation scripts - **Generic**: Standard Python applications ### 2. Initialize Project with uv ```bash # Create new project with uv uv init cd # Initialize git repository git init echo ".venv/" >> .gitignore echo "*.pyc" >> .gitignore echo "__pycache__/" >> .gitignore echo ".pytest_cache/" >> .gitignore echo ".ruff_cache/" >> .gitignore # Create virtual environment uv venv source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate ``` ### 3. Generate FastAPI Project Structure ``` fastapi-project/ ├── pyproject.toml ├── README.md ├── .gitignore ├── .env.example ├── src/ │ └── project_name/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── main.py │ ├── config.py │ ├── api/ │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ ├── deps.py │ │ ├── v1/ │ │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ │ ├── endpoints/ │ │ │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ │ │ ├── users.py │ │ │ │ └── health.py │ │ │ └── router.py │ ├── core/ │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ ├── security.py │ │ └── database.py │ ├── models/ │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ └── user.py │ ├── schemas/ │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ └── user.py │ └── services/ │ ├── __init__.py │ └── user_service.py └── tests/ ├── __init__.py ├── conftest.py └── api/ ├── __init__.py └── test_users.py ``` **pyproject.toml**: ```toml [project] name = "project-name" version = "0.1.0" description = "FastAPI project description" requires-python = ">=3.11" dependencies = [ "fastapi>=0.110.0", "uvicorn[standard]>=0.27.0", "pydantic>=2.6.0", "pydantic-settings>=2.1.0", "sqlalchemy>=2.0.0", "alembic>=1.13.0", ] [project.optional-dependencies] dev = [ "pytest>=8.0.0", "pytest-asyncio>=0.23.0", "httpx>=0.26.0", "ruff>=0.2.0", ] [tool.ruff] line-length = 100 target-version = "py311" [tool.ruff.lint] select = ["E", "F", "I", "N", "W", "UP"] [tool.pytest.ini_options] testpaths = ["tests"] asyncio_mode = "auto" ``` **src/project_name/main.py**: ```python from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi.middleware.cors import CORSMiddleware from .api.v1.router import api_router from .config import settings app = FastAPI( title=settings.PROJECT_NAME, version=settings.VERSION, openapi_url=f"{settings.API_V1_PREFIX}/openapi.json", ) app.add_middleware( CORSMiddleware, allow_origins=settings.ALLOWED_ORIGINS, allow_credentials=True, allow_methods=["*"], allow_headers=["*"], ) app.include_router(api_router, prefix=settings.API_V1_PREFIX) @app.get("/health") async def health_check() -> dict[str, str]: return {"status": "healthy"} ``` ### 4. Generate Django Project Structure ```bash # Install Django with uv uv add django django-environ django-debug-toolbar # Create Django project django-admin startproject config . python manage.py startapp core ``` **pyproject.toml for Django**: ```toml [project] name = "django-project" version = "0.1.0" requires-python = ">=3.11" dependencies = [ "django>=5.0.0", "django-environ>=0.11.0", "psycopg[binary]>=3.1.0", "gunicorn>=21.2.0", ] [project.optional-dependencies] dev = [ "django-debug-toolbar>=4.3.0", "pytest-django>=4.8.0", "ruff>=0.2.0", ] ``` ### 5. Generate Python Library Structure ``` library-name/ ├── pyproject.toml ├── README.md ├── LICENSE ├── src/ │ └── library_name/ │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── py.typed │ └── core.py └── tests/ ├── __init__.py └── test_core.py ``` **pyproject.toml for Library**: ```toml [build-system] requires = ["hatchling"] build-backend = "hatchling.build" [project] name = "library-name" version = "0.1.0" description = "Library description" readme = "README.md" requires-python = ">=3.11" license = {text = "MIT"} authors = [ {name = "Your Name", email = "email@example.com"} ] classifiers = [ "Programming Language :: Python :: 3", "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License", ] dependencies = [] [project.optional-dependencies] dev = ["pytest>=8.0.0", "ruff>=0.2.0", "mypy>=1.8.0"] [tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel] packages = ["src/library_name"] ``` ### 6. Generate CLI Tool Structure ```python # pyproject.toml [project.scripts] cli-name = "project_name.cli:main" [project] dependencies = [ "typer>=0.9.0", "rich>=13.7.0", ] ``` **src/project_name/cli.py**: ```python import typer from rich.console import Console app = typer.Typer() console = Console() @app.command() def hello(name: str = typer.Option(..., "--name", "-n", help="Your name")): """Greet someone""" console.print(f"[bold green]Hello {name}![/bold green]") def main(): app() ``` ### 7. Configure Development Tools **.env.example**: ```env # Application PROJECT_NAME="Project Name" VERSION="0.1.0" DEBUG=True # API API_V1_PREFIX="/api/v1" ALLOWED_ORIGINS=["http://localhost:3000"] # Database DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/dbname" # Security SECRET_KEY="your-secret-key-here" ``` **Makefile**: ```makefile .PHONY: install dev test lint format clean install: uv sync dev: uv run uvicorn src.project_name.main:app --reload test: uv run pytest -v lint: uv run ruff check . format: uv run ruff format . clean: find . -type d -name __pycache__ -exec rm -rf {} + find . -type f -name "*.pyc" -delete rm -rf .pytest_cache .ruff_cache ``` ## Output Format 1. **Project Structure**: Complete directory tree with all necessary files 2. **Configuration**: pyproject.toml with dependencies and tool settings 3. **Entry Point**: Main application file (main.py, cli.py, etc.) 4. **Tests**: Test structure with pytest configuration 5. **Documentation**: README with setup and usage instructions 6. **Development Tools**: Makefile, .env.example, .gitignore Focus on creating production-ready Python projects with modern tooling, type safety, and comprehensive testing setup. ## Limitations - Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. - Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. - Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing. --- Source attribution: Sansar35 Original project: https://github.com/Sansar35/claude-agent/blob/d046d088ce5a79a083f0abc0fe1b7ded73bc5b1f/claude-config/skills/antigravity/python-development-python-scaffold/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Dave AI. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 Claude Agent Team contributors Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
