Does it enforce specific file organization?

Yes, it follows a vertical ordering: module docstrings first, followed by imports, constants, type definitions (Enums/Dataclasses), public members, and finally private members.

When should I use this skill?

Invoke this skill whenever you are writing new Python modules, refactoring existing code, or reviewing pull requests within the Ataraxis ecosystem.

What is the Sun Lab Python Style Guide skill?

It is a specialized Claude Code capability that applies specific coding conventions used by the Sun Lab and the Ataraxis framework to ensure high-quality, consistent Python code.

Does it work with existing Python tools like Ruff?

Yes, it is designed to complement tools like Ruff by providing high-level structural and semantic guidance that standard linters might miss.

How does this skill handle naming conventions?

The skill enforces the use of full words rather than abbreviations (e.g., using 'position' instead of 'pos') to maximize code clarity and maintainability.

Developer Tools

Applies Sun Lab and Ataraxis framework coding conventions to Python code for consistent writing, reviewing, and refactoring.

The Sun Lab Python Style Guide is a specialized capability designed for developers working within the Ataraxis science-automation framework. It enforces a rigorous set of Python standards, including full-word naming conventions, mandatory type annotations, and specific file-level organization. By automating the application of these rules—such as keyword-only function calls, specialized error handling through ataraxis-base-utilities, and strict import hierarchies—this skill ensures that all code remains readable, maintainable, and aligned with the C-family visibility patterns used across Sun Lab projects. It is an essential tool for maintaining high code quality in complex scientific computing environments.
