While implementing the Agent Plugin v1 spec in https://github.com/stbenjam/skillsaw/pull/483, I used this repository as a canonical real-world source for tests. Along the way its checks surfaced genuine correctness issues worth fixing regardless of tooling: - Internal links that do not resolve (22): wrong relative paths, links whose targets are runtime output paths rather than bundled files (now inline code), a schemeless external URL parsed as a relative path, and links to files that do not exist (removed). - Bundled skill files never referenced from their SKILL.md (14): each is now cited from the section where it is used, so nothing ships unreachable from the skill's instructions. - Unclosed or mis-nested code fences (11): markdown templates embedding code blocks now use four-backtick outer fences so inner fences nest instead of closing the template early and leaking example content as live markdown; also removed stray orphan fences and closed an unterminated block at end of file. - Invisible unicode (1): removed a zero-width space from a code example, a copy-paste artifact invisible to reviewers.

Python Azure IoT Edge Modules
Use this skill to design, implement, and validate Python-based IoT Edge modules for telemetry processing, local inference, protocol translation, and edge-to-cloud integration.
When To Use
Use this skill for requests like:
- "quiero crear un modulo Python para IoT Edge"
- "como despliego modulos edge con manifest"
- "necesito filtrar/agregar telemetria antes de subirla"
- "como manejo desconexiones y reintentos en edge"
Mandatory Docs Review
Before recommending runtime behavior or deployment decisions, review:
Minimum checks:
- Runtime architecture and module lifecycle.
- Supported host OS and versions.
- Deployment model and configuration flow.
- Current release/version guidance.
If documentation cannot be fetched, proceed with explicit assumptions and flag them clearly.
Python Official References and Best Practices (Required)
Before proposing Python implementation details, consult official Python sources:
- https://www.python.org/
- https://docs.python.org/3/
- https://docs.python.org/3/reference/
- https://docs.python.org/3/library/
- references/python-official-best-practices.md
Prefer official docs over community snippets unless there is a specific compatibility reason to deviate.
Goals
- Deliver module architecture and implementation plan that is production-focused.
- Ensure reliable edge messaging under network variability.
- Provide deployment, observability, and validation artifacts.
Module Use Cases
- Protocol adapter (serial/Modbus/OPC-UA to IoT message format).
- Telemetry enrichment and normalization.
- Local anomaly detection or inference.
- Command orchestration and local actuator control.
Delivery Workflow
1) Contract and Interfaces
Define:
- Module inputs and outputs.
- Message schema and versioning policy.
- Routes and priorities for normal vs critical telemetry.
- Desired properties used for dynamic configuration.
2) Runtime and Packaging
Specify:
- Python runtime version target.
- Container image strategy (base image, slim footprint, CVE hygiene).
- Resource profile (CPU/memory bounds).
- Startup and health checks.
3) Reliability Design
Implement and validate:
- Retries with exponential backoff and jitter.
- Graceful degradation on upstream failures.
- Local queueing strategy where needed.
- Idempotent processing for replayed messages.
4) Security Controls
Require:
- No plaintext secrets in code or manifest.
- Least-privilege module behavior.
- Secure transport and trusted cert chain handling.
- Traceability for command handling and state changes.
5) Deployment and Operations
Define:
- Environment-specific deployment manifests.
- Rollout strategy (pilot, staged, broad).
- Rollback criteria.
- SLOs and alerting conditions.
Reuse Other Skills
When relevant, combine with:
azure-smart-city-iot-solution-builderfor platform-level architecture.appinsights-instrumentationfor telemetry instrumentation approaches.azure-resource-visualizerfor architecture diagrams and dependency mapping.
Also use references/python-official-best-practices.md as baseline quality criteria for module design and implementation guidance.
Required Output
Always provide:
- Module design brief (purpose, inputs, outputs).
- Deployment model (image, manifest, env settings).
- Reliability and error-handling strategy.
- Security and operations checklist.
- Test matrix (functional, chaos, performance, rollback).
Output Template
Use references/python-edge-module-template.md to structure implementation proposals and reviews.
- Context and assumptions
- Module architecture
- Deployment and configuration
- Reliability, security, observability
- Validation and rollout plan
Guardrails
- Do not recommend direct production rollout without pilot stage.
- Do not embed secrets in Dockerfiles, source, or manifests.
- Do not omit health probes, restart behavior, and rollback criteria.
