Fundamental design principles for writing maintainable, testable Python code.
Run in your terminal
Covers five core patterns: KISS (Keep It Simple), Single Responsibility Principle, Separation of Concerns, Composition Over Inheritance, and the Rule of Three
Includes practical code examples contrasting anti-patterns with recommended approaches for each principle
Provides layered architecture guidance (API, Service, Repository layers) with dependency injection patterns for testability

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionpython-design-patternsExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Package manager
npx skills add https://github.com/wshobson/agents --skill python-design-patternsFetches python-design-patterns from wshobson/agents and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate python-design-patterns. Access via /python-design-patternsin your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
