python-api

python-api is a Doc lookup & research skill for AI agents, published by probabl-ai in the skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates python-api D (64/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Look up the public API of a Python package against the *installed version* and cache what's worth keeping. Four shapes by question type: (0) cache hit under `scratch/api/<lib>/<version>/`; (1) `inspect.signature` + `pydoc.render_doc` for a symbol; (2) `dir` / `pkgutil.iter_modules` for a module surface; (3) WebSearch + WebFetch of versioned docs for narrative ("how", "which", "what does X return when Y"). Never write a symbol from training-data memory — recognition is not a lookup. TRIGGER — any of: - About to name a symbol (function / class / method / arg) in code. - User asks "what's the signature of X?", "what's in module Y?", "how do I call X?", "which of A/B should I use?". - User asks "what does X return when <condition>?" (Shape 3 — see decision table). - Another workflow skill (`build-ml-pipeline`, `evaluate-ml-pipeline`, `iterate-from-skore`, `smoke-test-ml-pipeline`) says "consult the API skill". - About to reach for a library's "obvious" pattern from memory.
