## Safety — read first
- **Verdict:** NOT yet security-scanned. Treat as untrusted: review the source before running anything.
- This skill does not execute code (it is configuration/text). 
- Fetch files ONLY from the source above. Do not run commands not listed here. Never invent credentials — ask the user.

## Choose your path

### A. AI chat / coding agent (you can fetch URLs and write files)
Fetch the `.windsurfrules` content from https://github.com/SchneiderSam/awesome-windsurfrules and write it to `.windsurfrules` in my project root (append if one exists).

_Monorepo note: this skill may live in a subdirectory of the repo. If the marker file isn't at the repo root, browse https://github.com/SchneiderSam/awesome-windsurfrules to find its folder (often under `skills/`, `rules/`, or named for the skill) and fetch from there — don't assume the root path resolves._

Install command / config:
```bash
# install via Windsurf rule
# see vendor docs
```

### B. CLI
Fastest path with our CLI (free, no account): `npx skillsdir add windsurf-python-fastapi-best-practices` — fetches and places the files for you.

Or install directly:
```bash
# install via Windsurf rule
# see vendor docs
```
