developing-kafka-python-client
Use when the user wants to build a Python Kafka producer or consumer, add Schema Registry to existing Python code, migrate from raw JSON to schema-backed serialization, or scaffold a confluent-kafka-python project for Confluent Cloud, local Docker, or WarpStream. Also use when user wants to optimize Python Kafka client configuration for WarpStream.

Install OMGSkills skill "confluentinc/agent-skills:skills/developing-kafka-python-client" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command

From README
Confluent Kafka Python Client Creation Generate a production-ready Python project for producing to and/or consuming from Kafka using confluent-kafka-python. Supports three target environments: Confluent Cloud (managed), Local Docker (open-source Kafka), and WarpStream (Kafka-compatible, object-storage-backed), and two producer styles: AsyncIO (non-blocking) and Synchronous (blocking). The generated code follows Confluent's best practices. Step 1: Gather Requirements Before generating any code, work through the questions below. Skip any question the user has already answered explicitly in their prompt — do not re-ask just for form's sake. For example, "build a producer and consumer on Confluent Cloud with an async producer" already answers #2, #3, and #4; only #1, #5, #6, #7, and #8 remain. Mandatory confirmation gate — do not skip, even if the user answered every question.
