Create robust Python automation with full logging and safety checks. Use when tasks need complex data processing, authenticated API work, conditional file operations, or error handling beyond simple shell commands.

Overview
Design and run Python scripts with clear requirements, safety checks, and reproducible logging.
Workflow
- Confirm inputs, outputs, constraints, and preferred libraries.
- Identify risky operations and secure explicit approval.
- Scaffold a script with PEP 723 metadata and structured logging.
- Lint with
uvx ruff check --fix .agents/scripts/{script_name}.py. - Run with
uv run --script .agents/scripts/{script_name}.pyand monitor logs. - Report results, risks encountered, and any follow-up steps.
Logging requirements
- Log to
.agents/logs/{script_name}.logand stream to console - Capture start/end timestamps, parameters, file operations, and errors
- Add
RotatingFileHandlerif logs may grow large
Template
Read references/script-template.md for the full script template.
Safety practices
- Provide dry-run or rollback paths
- Validate external inputs and API responses
- Use temporary directories for intermediates
- Never run destructive steps without confirmation
