uv — Python Project & Environment Helper

What it does

This skill standardizes Python dependency and environment management when a repository uses uv. It teaches an agent how to detect a uv-managed project (uv.lock, pyproject.toml, or an existing .venv), create and use virtual environments, add or remove dependencies, lock and sync reproducible installs, and run commands inside the project environment.

When to use it

Invoke this skill when the agent needs to set up a Python dev environment, run tests, modify dependencies, or prepare reproducible installs for CI/workflows in repositories that list uv or include a uv.lock. Good for onboarding, CI prep, and developer automation tasks.

What's included

• Scripts: none bundled, but the SKILL.md includes concrete command examples (uv init, uv venv, uv add, uv lock, uv sync, uv run).
• References: the skill points to uv installation instructions and common pitfalls for CI and requirements workflows.
• Instructions: concise decision rules and safe operation patterns (prefer uv add/remove/lock/sync over ad-hoc pip changes).

Compatible agents

Best for agents that can run shell commands and manage environments (CLI-capable agents like Copilot/Codex, or any automation that can execute Python and shell).
