async-python-patterns
Comprehensive guidance for implementing asynchronous Python applications using asyncio, concurrent programming patterns, and async/await for building high-performance, non-blocking systems.
Best use case
async-python-patterns is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Comprehensive guidance for implementing asynchronous Python applications using asyncio, concurrent programming patterns, and async/await for building high-performance, non-blocking systems.
Teams using async-python-patterns should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Async Python Patterns Comprehensive guidance for implementing asynchronous Python applications using asyncio, concurrent programming patterns, and async/await for building high-performance, non-blocking systems. ## Use this skill when - Building async web APIs (FastAPI, aiohttp, Sanic) - Implementing concurrent I/O operations (database, file, network) - Creating web scrapers with concurrent requests - Developing real-time applications (WebSocket servers, chat systems) - Processing multiple independent tasks simultaneously - Building microservices with async communication - Optimizing I/O-bound workloads - Implementing async background tasks and queues ## Do not use this skill when - The workload is CPU-bound with minimal I/O. - A simple synchronous script is sufficient. - The runtime environment cannot support asyncio/event loop usage. ## Instructions - Clarify workload characteristics (I/O vs CPU), targets, and runtime constraints. - Pick concurrency patterns (tasks, gather, queues, pools) with cancellation rules. - Add timeouts, backpressure, and structured error handling. - Include testing and debugging guidance for async code paths. - If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`. Refer to `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples. ## Resources - `resources/implementation-playbook.md` for detailed patterns and examples.

zapier-make-patterns
No-code automation democratizes workflow building. Zapier and Make (formerly Integromat) let non-developers automate business processes without writing code. But no-code doesn't mean no-complexity - these platforms have their own patterns, pitfalls, and breaking points. This skill covers when to use which platform, how to build reliable automations, and when to graduate to code-based solutions. Key insight: Zapier optimizes for simplicity and integrations (7000+ apps), Make optimizes for power
