AI Coding Skills for Python

Browse the best AI coding skills for Python in 2026, pytest generation, FastAPI / Django / Flask scaffolding, type-safe SQLAlchemy schemas, and security audits for OWASP Top 10. Works with every major AI coding tool.

Short answer

The best AI coding skills for Python are skills-hub's `code-review`, `unit-test` (pytest auto-detection), `api-scaffold` (FastAPI/Django/Flask), `db-schema` (SQLAlchemy), `secure`, and `dependency-scan` (pip-audit). All portable across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Windsurf, Copilot, and Cline.

Python is the lingua franca of ML, data, and FastAPI backends, and AI coding skills here are mature. The skills below detect your Python stack (FastAPI, Django, Flask, Starlette, pytest, ruff, uv) and emit idiomatic Python 3.12+ code with proper type hints, async / await patterns, and pytest fixtures.

  13. 13nature-figure

    1 installs

    Create, revise, audit, and export submission-grade scientific figures for Nature-family and other high-impact venues in Python (matplotlib/seaborn) or R (ggplot2/patchwork/ComplexHeatmap), including multi-panel plots, figures4papers-style work, and journal-ready SVG/PDF/TIFF outputs. Use for paper or scientific plots, manuscript data visualization, 论文配图、学术写作配图、科研绘图、科研作图、画图、作图、出图、论文图表、可视化. Define the conclusion, evidence logic, data integrity, template compatibility, export needs, and reviewer risks before plotting; honor or persist the Python/R backend choice. Also use the separate OpenRouter GPT Image 2 route for explicit AI-generated graphical abstracts, mechanism diagrams, concept schematics, 论文示意图、机制示意图、图形摘要; this route skips backend choice and treats outputs as drafts. Do not use for interactive dashboards, statistics-only analysis, data cleaning, literature review, code debugging, pure photo editing, or Illustrator/Figma-first infographics without manuscript-figure intent.

    Build custom Python data sources for Apache Spark using the PySpark DataSource API — batch and streaming readers/writers for external systems.

Even if they just say "read from X in Spark" or "write DataFrame to Y" and there's no native connector, this skill applies.

  18. 18office-suite

    1 installs

    Creates and edits Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xlsx), and PDF files programmatically: detects the available runtime and picks the right library per format (python-docx or docx.js, python-pptx, openpyxl or exceljs, reportlab or pdf-lib), installs missing packages into an isolated venv or node env, drafts the document structure first (outline, slide map, or sheet schema), generates with real formatting (styles, headers/footers, page numbers, charts from actual data), then re-opens every file programmatically and asserts its structure before delivery. Use when: 'make a Word document', 'create a PowerPoint', 'build a spreadsheet', 'generate a PDF', 'export this as docx/pptx/xlsx', 'write a report file', 'slide deck from these notes', 'edit this Excel file', 'fill this document template', 'invoice PDF'.

Frequently asked questions

Do AI skills work with FastAPI?

Yes. The api-scaffold and api-docs skills auto-detect FastAPI and emit routes with proper Pydantic models, async dependencies, and OpenAPI 3.1 spec generation.

Can AI generate pytest tests with fixtures?

Yes. The unit-test skill detects pytest and emits parametrized tests, fixture chains, and proper async test patterns with pytest-asyncio.

What's the best AI tool for Python?

Cursor and Claude Code are both strong for Python. Cursor's inline autocomplete is best-in-class; Claude Code's agent mode excels at multi-file Django / FastAPI refactors.

Do AI skills handle uv and the modern Python toolchain?

Yes. Modern skills detect `pyproject.toml` and `uv.lock` and emit `uv` commands by default. Older `pip` / `poetry` projects are supported via fallback.
