uv-package-manager

Ultra-fast Python package installer and resolver written in Rust

uv-package-manager is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for managing Python dependencies and environments with uv, a fast installer and resolver written in Rust. It is presented as a drop-in replacement for pip that also manages virtual environments and Python versions, and it supports dependency locking with a uv.lock file so builds are reproducible. The skill covers setting up a new Python project quickly, installing dependencies faster than pip, creating and managing virtual environments, installing Python interpreters, resolving dependency conflicts, and migrating from pip, pip-tools or Poetry. It also covers monorepo Python projects that share a workspace, speeding up CI/CD pipelines, and optimizing Docker builds that install Python dependencies. The skill applies when setting up Python projects, managing dependencies, working with lockfiles, and moving a project to uv. Switching the tooling of an existing project changes how everyone installs dependencies, so the migration should be coordinated across the team and checked in CI. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 14.9K installs. The security audits showed Socket and Snyk passing, while Gen Agent Trust Hub returned a fail at the time of the scan.
