Description
generating-python-installer is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It is aimed at packaging a Python application as a small, fast-starting Windows installer. Its core approach is Nuitka folder-mode builds, which produce a directory of files rather than a single executable, followed by Inno Setup to package the installer with full metadata and a clean uninstall that leaves no residue. The skill also covers extreme Nuitka compilation, trimming the distribution folder, analysing the footprint of DLLs, and the size trade-offs between 32-bit and 64-bit builds. It avoids single-file builds and stray console windows by design. The skill is specifically for advanced size and startup optimisation rather than basic script-to-executable conversion, so it applies when a user explicitly asks for commercial-grade packaging. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task calls for it. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows a Snyk warning.…
