Uv Package Manager

wshobson/agents

This covers uv comprehensively, from basic installation to advanced project workflows. You'll use it when you want Python dependency management that's actually fast, or when setting up new projects with proper virtual environments and lockfiles. The skill walks through practical patterns like migrating from pip/poetry, managing Python versions, and configuring pyproject.toml files. What's honest here is that uv really is dramatically faster than pip, but the ecosystem is still catching up, so you might hit edge cases with some packages. The examples are solid and the progression from quick start to complex monorepo scenarios makes sense.
