Does it include automation for publishing?

Yes, it provides patterns for both local publishing using Twine and automated workflows using GitHub Actions to streamline your release process.

Does this skill support modern PEP standards?

Yes, it focuses on modern standards like PEP 517, 518, 621, and 660, ensuring your packages use the latest pyproject.toml configuration.

Can I use this for building CLI tools?

Absolutely. It includes specific implementation patterns for registering entry points and building command-line interfaces with Click or argparse.

Should I use the Source layout or Flat layout?

This skill generally recommends the Source layout (src/) for professional libraries because it prevents accidental imports from the project root and ensures cleaner testing environments.
