python-pypi-package-builder is a skill in github/awesome-copilot, last changed 8 Apr 2026. It can download software, run shell commands, reach the network, name web addresses and bundle scripts — read the findings before installing.
End-to-end skill for building, testing, linting, versioning, and publishing a production-grade Python library to PyPI. Covers all four build backends (setuptools+setuptools_scm, hatchling, flit, poetry), PEP 440 versioning, semantic versioning, dynamic git-tag versioning, OOP/SOLID design, type hints (PEP 484/526/544/561), Trusted Publishing (OIDC), and the full PyPA packaging flow. Use for: creating Python packages, pip-installable SDKs, CLI tools, framework plugins, pyproject.toml setup, py.typed, setuptools_scm, semver, mypy, pre-commit, GitHub Actions CI/CD, or PyPI publishing.

Pattern check
Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 8178d19 · 3 Nov 2026
We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 8178d19 on 3 Nov 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

Format check
Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.
Agent Skills specPasses
The open format from agentskills.io, held to the strictest version of each rule among the agents we check.
- Note
There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
- Note
- Claude CodePasses
Claude apps & API uploadPasses
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Note
The description is 588 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
- Note
- OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes
- VS Code & CopilotPasses
