What This Skill Covers
- As mentioned in the introduction to Python Workers, a Python Worker can be as simple as four lines of code:
- Main sections:
Fetch Handler,The Request Interface,The env Attribute,Modules,Types and Autocompletion.
Workflow
- Open the most relevant file under
docs/for the exact documented workflow and wording. - Open
schemas/files for exact structured contracts. - Open
examples/files for concrete requests, commands, snippets, and manifests. - Do not add behavior or configuration that is not present in the attached source files.
