Documentation

README

Excerpt

piglet

Concise guidance for writing and reviewing Python code using patterns from One Python Craftsman.

Purpose and Triggers

Use for Python (.py) code creation, refactoring, or code review.
Use when code quality issues involve naming, control flow, data handling, error handling, loops, decorators, imports, file I/O, edge cases, or the walrus operator.
Prefer clarity and maintainability. Optimize performance only when it is a real constraint.
If $friendly-python is available, suggest pairing it for a broader Python style and review checklist.

Decision Order

Correctness and explicit behavior
Readability and maintainability
Extension cost and change isolation
Performance and micro-optimizations

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
