What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by causify-ai/helpers in .claude/skills/coding.fix_param_use/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
I will pass you a file <FILE>. In that file, make sure that:
- Callers pass required parameters by position and optional parameters by keyword
- Constants are assigned to an intermediate variable with the same name as the corresponding formal parameter
Conventions
- Follow
## Call Functions with Position Arguments for Required, Keywords for Optionalin.claude/skills/coding.rules.md
Examples
-
For a function with the signature
def apply_llm_prompt_to_df( prompt: str, df: pd.DataFrame, extractor: Callable[[Union[str, pd.Series]], str], target_col: str, batch_mode: str, *, model: str, batch_size: int = 50, dump_every_batch: str = "", tag: str = "Processing", testing_functor: Optional[Callable[[str], str]] = None, use_sys_stderr: bool = False, ) -> Tuple[pd.DataFrame, Dict[str, int]]: -
Bad (required parameters passed by keyword, constant not named)
df, stats = hllmcli.apply_llm_prompt_to_df( prompt=prompt, df=df, extractor=extract_person_industry_from_df, target_col="industry", batch_mode=batch_mode, batch_size=batch_size, model=model, tag=tag, ) -
Good (required parameters positional, optional parameters by keyword, constant named)
target_col = "industry" df, stats = hllmcli.apply_llm_prompt_to_df( prompt, df, extract_person_industry_from_df, target_col, batch_mode, batch_size=batch_size, model=model, tag=tag, )
Verification
- Confirm required parameters are passed positionally and optional parameters by keyword
- Confirm constants used at call sites are assigned to named intermediate variables
- Run the file's unit tests to confirm behavior is unchanged
