uv

uv is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hyperb1iss/hyperskills. It costs 100 tokens per session (3,023 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for managing Python projects, packages, Python versions, command-line tools, and virtual environments. It can replace several separate tools commonly used in Python development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting projects, adding or syncing dependencies, running scripts and tests, managing Python versions, building and publishing packages, and working with package files such as pyproject.toml or requirements.txt.
Why use it?
Python projects often need separate tools for installing dependencies, creating environments, running code, and locking versions. This brings those tasks into one workflow.

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 A, and why

uv scanned grade A with 0 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 4d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 295 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

uv: Python Package & Project Manager

uv replaces pip, pip-tools, pipx, pyenv, virtualenv, and poetry. Written in Rust, 10-100x faster than alternatives. It is stable production software; minor versions can contain breaking changes, while patch releases are intended to be non-breaking.

Snapshot: v0.11.11, May 2026. The installed binary outranks this file. Run uv --version first, and uv <command> --help whenever a flag here doesn't land. The local install is often behind, and commands documented below (notably uv audit, preview-gated since 0.10) may simply not exist yet.

Workflow Decision Tree

What are you doing?
├─ Running a standalone script? ──────────────────── Scripts workflow
│  (single .py file, no project context needed)
├─ Working in a project with pyproject.toml? ─────── Projects workflow
│  (adding deps, running commands, building)
├─ Running a CLI tool (ruff, ty, pytest)? ────────── Tools workflow
│  (one-off execution, not project-scoped)
├─ Managing Python versions? ─────────────────────── Python workflow
│  (installing, pinning, upgrading interpreters)
├─ Legacy requirements.txt workflow? ─────────────── Pip interface
│  (no pyproject.toml, existing req files)
└─ Building/publishing a package? ────────────────── Build/Publish workflow
   (sdist, wheel, PyPI upload)

Critical rule: If pyproject.toml exists, use project commands (uv add, uv sync, uv run). Never uv pip install in a project, it bypasses the lockfile.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

uv is a skill published in the GitHub repository hyperb1iss/hyperskills (31 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 3,023 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
