Development

# Install hooks (runs ruff + ty pre-commit, conventional commit-msg)
uv run pre-commit install --hook-type pre-commit --hook-type commit-msg

# Run the full test matrix (3.11, 3.12, 3.13)
uv run tox

# Single env
uv run tox -e py313 -- -k calculator

# Lint / format check / type check
uv run ruff check .
uv run ruff format --check .
uv run ty check src

Commits

Every commit MUST follow the Conventional Commits specification.

Examples:

• feat: add support for negative numbers
• fix(calculator): correct divide by zero error
• chore(deps): bump ruff to 0.9
• feat!: drop Python 3.10 support (breaking change → major bump)

Enforced locally by conventional-pre-commit (commit-msg hook) and in CI by commitlint.

First-time setup after cloning the template

1. Rename name in pyproject.toml, the package directory under src/, and imports in tests/.
2. Configure Trusted Publishers on PyPI and TestPyPI for your repo, pointing to the publish.yml workflow and the pypi / testpypi environments.
3. Create two GitHub Environments named testpypi and pypi (optionally add required reviewers on pypi as a manual prod gate).
4. Add an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY repository secret (for the Claude review workflow).
5. Settings → Actions → General → Workflow permissions → "Read and write permissions" so release-please can open PRs and push tags.
