# Ruff Preferences and References
Use this skill as a reference index for Ruff preferences, conventions, and source documentation.
This document is intentionally not a migration or transition playbook.
Load references only when needed:
- Ruff core documentation: [Ruff docs](./references/ruff-docs.md)
- Tooling integrations (pre-commit and GitHub Actions): [Ruff integrations](./references/ruff-integrations.md)
## When To Use
- You want canonical Ruff preferences for this repository context.
- You need source links for rule selection, formatter behavior, and integrations.
- You are deciding configuration defaults, not planning a migration sequence.
## Preference Baseline
Use these as default preferences unless the target repository states otherwise:
1. Keep linting and formatting both enabled.
2. Keep imports sorted via Ruff (`I` rules) rather than a separate import tool.
3. Prefer explicit, small rule-family selection first (`E`, `F`, `I`, `UP`) and expand deliberately.
4. Keep line length, target Python, and formatter settings aligned to repository policy.
5. Keep local and CI execution behavior equivalent.
### Rule Link Requirement
When adding a specific rule or ruleset to `ruff.toml`, search for the authoritative Ruff documentation page for that rule or ruleset and include a link to it. You may add the URL as a nearby comment in `ruff.toml` or record it in the repository docs (for example in a CONTRIBUTING or linting section). Prefer links to the official [Ruff rules reference](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/).
### Version Discovery Requirement
When integrating Ruff or any third-party Action for the first time, always search for the latest stable release of:
- the `ruff` package ([releases](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/releases))
- the `astral-sh/ruff-pre-commit` hook ([releases](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff-pre-commit/releases))
- the `astral-sh/ruff-action` ([releases](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff-action/releases))
- the `astral-sh/setup-uv` action ([releases](https://github.com/astral-sh/setup-uv/releases))
Document the version you chose in the example snippet or in a nearby docs file and prefer pinning to a released tag in CI examples. If you intentionally use `latest`, note the reason and the associated risk in repo docs.
## Decision Inputs
Collect only the minimum context needed for preference decisions:
1. Supported Python versions.
2. Existing `pyproject.toml` constraints.
3. CI provider and required checks.
4. Whether pre-commit is in use.

## Reference Map
1. Rules and settings source of truth: [Ruff docs](./references/ruff-docs.md)
2. pre-commit and GitHub Actions examples: [Ruff integrations](./references/ruff-integrations.md)
3. Template to copy from or compare against: [python-template ruff.toml](https://gitea.john-stream.com/john/python-template/src/branch/main/project/ruff.toml)
## Non-Goals
This skill does not define:
1. Step-by-step migration phases.
2. Rollout modes or cutover timelines.
3. Mechanical rewrite plans for legacy tooling.
