build

Use this skill when you need to compile CPython, run tests, verify your changes work, check if a fix is correct, or debug test failures. Covers building from source with ./configure and make, ccache for faster rebuilds, Argument Clinic regeneration, and the unittest-based test system (NOT pytest). Essential for any task that requires running code or tests.
