Default to current, well-maintained libraries over dated stdlib or legacy packages when the better option is clear. Install third-party deps via uv (a tool with uvx, or a script with PEP-723 inline metadata run by uv run). Libraries on this list are pre-approved: just use them and let uv fetch them, no need to ask. These are general public defaults, not absolutes: a project's own conventions win.
Coding Python Use Modern Libraries is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the mobile sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/coding-python-use-modern-libraries/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when choosing a Python library for a task (HTTP, JSON, XML, TOML, YAML, data models, enums, dates, compression, database, testing, linting and formatting, type checking, CLI parsing, retry/backoff, text encoding, layered configuration, MCP servers), writing new Python code that needs a dependency, or reviewing imports for dated defaults. For building/editing JSON/XML/YAML files specifically, see bitranox:files-edit-json, bitranox:files-edit-xml, bitranox:files-edit-yml.
The Coding Python Use Modern Libraries Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 211,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/coding-python-use-modern-libraries/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Coding Python Use Modern Libraries is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
