Python resource management

python-resource-management is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for managing resources deterministically in Python: database connections, file handles, network sockets and other things that must be released reliably. Its central tool is the context manager, the with statement that guarantees a resource is released when its block ends, even if an exception is raised. The skill covers managing database connections and connection pools, working with file handles and I/O so files are not left open, and implementing custom context managers for resources that have no built-in support. It also covers building streaming responses that keep state while data is sent in parts, handling nested resource cleanup where several resources depend on each other and must be released in the right order, and creating async context managers for resources used in asynchronous code. The skill applies when managing connections, file handles and sockets, implementing cleanup logic, building streaming responses, and handling nested or asynchronous cleanup. Leaked connections and file handles are a common cause of slow failures in long-running services, which is why the skill's guidance centers on releasing resources by construction rather than by remembering to close them. The agent applies the patterns to code it writes or reviews, and the team tests long-running paths for leaks where that matters. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 10.7K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.
