Python documentation conventions — a Google-style docstring on every public module, class, and function, enforced by ruff's pydocstyle (D) rules with the google convention, and LLM-ready markdown CLI reference generation for Click or Typer tools via a reproducible docgen helper. Use when writing or reviewing docstrings, choosing or enforcing a docstring style, configuring ruff's D rules, deciding where module or package docstrings belong, or generating markdown CLI documentation for a Click/Typer-based Python tool.

From the source SKILL.md

Docstrings are the API's reference manual: editors, help(), and doc generators render them, and LLM coding agents read them to learn an API. These rules say where they go, what style they take, and how the linter enforces them. For the code itself see the python-style skill.

What this skill does

Python Docs is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the languages sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/python-docs/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when writing or reviewing docstrings, choosing or enforcing a docstring style, configuring ruff's D rules, deciding where module or package docstrings belong, or generating markdown CLI documentation for a Click/Typer-based Python tool.
