Curated by Skill Harbor — @sickn33's async Python patterns: a routing skill for non-blocking Python — when to use it (async web APIs, concurrent I/O, scrapers, real-time apps) and when NOT to (CPU-bound work, simple scripts), concurrency pattern selection (tasks, gather, queues, pools) with cancellation rules, timeouts, backpressure and structured error handling, plus testing and debugging guidance for async code paths; the deep examples live in a companion implementation-playbook reference. Honest caveats: it is a thin router by design — the detailed patterns are in the referenced resources file, which must be installed alongside. MIT licensed. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Discovered via skills.sh.

Prerequisites: a Python project with an async target (API, scraper, real-time app) — the skill is guidance the agent follows, not software Install "Async Python patterns — asyncio and concurrent programming guidance" for me. It gives my agent @sickn33's async Python routing: when to go async (async web APIs, concurrent I/O, scrapers, real-time apps) and when not to (CPU-bound work, simple scripts), concurrency pattern selection (tasks, gather, queues, pools) with cancellation rules, timeouts, backpressure, structured error handling, and testing/debugging guidance for async code paths. Deep examples live in the companion implementation-playbook.md resource — install it alongside. MIT-licensed. Repository: https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills/blob/main/plugins/agentic-awesome-skills-claude/skills/async-python-patterns/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files, including resources/implementation-playbook.md) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "async-python-patterns". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. point the agent at the async workload to design; nothing else — it's a methodology). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
