/gz-pythonic-pattern-apply

Capture before/after evidence with mechanical-delta proof when a Pythonic-pattern rewrite is applied. Use after /gz-pythonic-pattern-detect flagged a candidate marked applied — the rewrite must be backed by a semantics-pinning test, a TDD GREEN receipt, and non-regressing xenon/radon deltas.


Purpose

/gz-pythonic-pattern-apply exposes the evidence-capture pair to /gz-pythonic-pattern-detect. When a candidate from the detection report is applied as a Pythonic rewrite, this skill drives the operator/agent through:

  • Before/after metric capture (xenon, radon)
  • Red-Green-Refactor TDD discipline with a semantics-pinning test
  • ARB GREEN receipt emission
  • Authoring a structured evidence file per applied candidate
  • Back-linking the detection-report row so the audit trail is two-way

When to Use

  • After /gz-pythonic-pattern-detect produced a candidates report and the operator has decided to apply a specific row
  • Whenever a class-to-Pythonic refactor lands and the team needs a corpus of attested refactor moves (same shape as ARB receipts, but for refactors instead of QA claims)

What to Expect

The skill reads its canonical execution contract from .gzkit/skills/gz-pythonic-pattern-apply/SKILL.md (mirrored into .claude/skills/, .agents/skills/, and .github/skills/). One evidence file per applied candidate lands at .gzkit/chores/pythonic-design-pattern-application/proofs/application-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS-<short-slug>.md, citing pattern named, source candidate, local Python example witness, example-derived role map, before/after code, xenon + radon deltas, semantics tests, and the ARB GREEN receipt ID. The detection-report row is updated from _[applied | deferred | not-pythonic-rewrite]_ to applied: <evidence-file-path>.
