Development guide

ConfoState uses a fixed Python style so reviews stay focused on science and design. Full contribution notes (including PRs) are in CONTRIBUTING.md at the repository root; this page summarizes style and tooling.

Style

Tool	Role	Project setting
Ruff	Linter and formatter	Line length 79 (PEP 8)

All settings are in pyproject.toml ([tool.ruff*]).

mamba activate confostate
pip install -e ".[lint]"

ruff format .
ruff check --fix .
ruff check .
ruff format --check --diff .

Pre-commit

Install hooks once so every commit is formatted and linted:

pip install -e ".[lint]"
pre-commit install
pre-commit run --all-files   # optional: check the whole tree

See .pre-commit-config.yaml. CI runs Ruff on every push and pull request to main / develop.
