It scans Python code and reports violations where functions are called with positional arguments instead of named ones, then optionally rewrites them automatically. The tool is designed to improve code clarity and enable better error messages from type checkers by making argument intent explicit.\n\nIt runs as a CLI tool and integrates with pre-commit, pyproject.toml configuration, and supports multiple output formats (Ruff-style diagnostics, JSON, GitHub Actions annotations). The tool depends only on ty for runtime and supports Python 3.11 through 3.14. It includes a caching system, suppression via noqa comments, and configurable exclusions for generated or vendored code.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use ty for type checking or prefer a standalone linter without plugins. The tool is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real code-clarity problem with automatic fixes. Medium install friction (platform-specific wheels, Python 3.11+ requirement) is manageable for most projects. Start with a trial run on your codebase using --diff to preview changes."},"id":"strict-kwargs","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/strict-kwargs","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/strict-kwargs.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/strict-kwargs/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"strict-kwargs","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Enforce using keyword arguments where possible."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":152276,"position":10907,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2026.7.24"}
