Agent skill

To install the pylines skill, based on this repo, just run:

npx skills add https://github.com/community-of-python/pylines -g

-g installs globally; drop it to install into the current project. The guides themselves are not bundled — the skill fetches them from this repo and caches them locally, so it stays current.

Why this project?

Because there are a lot of guidelines, but not a single one of them is comprehensive enough for most of the use-cases in modern backend development. Here we collect best of our guides to help maintain big codebases in good shape. Without hard and tricky words and rules.
