uv-package-manager

uv-package-manager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from benchflow-ai/skillsbench. It costs 42 tokens per session (4,172 once invoked), scanned C, a copy of uv-package-manager, Apache-2.0.

A guide to uv, a Python tool for installing packages, managing virtual environments, resolving dependencies, and selecting Python versions. It also covers lockfiles and multi-project workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start Python projects, replace or complement pip, manage virtual environments, maintain lockfiles, organize monorepos, and install dependencies in Docker or CI.
Why use it?
It helps keep Python dependencies consistent while reducing the manual work of setting up environments and resolving version conflicts. It is also useful for repeatable builds and CI pipelines.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is uv add --path ./packages/package-a.

Good fit Use it to start Python projects, replace or complement pip, manage virtual environments, maintain lockfiles, organize monorepos, and install dependencies in Docker or CI.

About the project

SkillsBench is a benchmark for measuring how effectively AI agents use modular skills—folders containing instructions, scripts, and resources—to complete specialized tasks. It helps researchers and developers evaluate both skill quality and agent behavior, including tasks that require combining multiple skills. The catalogue’s skills and instructions are evaluated as part of this workflow.

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

uv-package-manager scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

UV Package Manager

Comprehensive guide to using uv, an extremely fast Python package installer and resolver written in Rust, for modern Python project management and dependency workflows.

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up new Python projects quickly
  • Managing Python dependencies faster than pip
  • Creating and managing virtual environments
  • Installing Python interpreters
  • Resolving dependency conflicts efficiently
  • Migrating from pip/pip-tools/poetry

  • Managing monorepo Python projects
  • Working with lockfiles for reproducible builds
  • Optimizing Docker builds with Python dependencies

Core Concepts

1. What is uv?

  • Ultra-fast package installer: 10-100x faster than pip
  • Written in Rust: Leverages Rust's performance
  • Drop-in pip replacement: Compatible with pip workflows

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
