uv

Project instructions for uv, a Python tool that runs scripts, manages packages, creates isolated environments, and builds Python packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when running Python scripts, adding packages, defining script dependencies, checking syntax, or configuring a pure-Python package build.
Why use it?
They provide one consistent way to run Python code and manage dependencies instead of mixing pip, python, and virtual-environment commands. They also support repeatable standalone scripts through inline dependency information.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 38 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 246 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Quick Reference

uv run script.py                   # Run a script
uv run --with requests script.py   # Run with ad-hoc dependency
uv run python -m ast foo.py >/dev/null  # Verify syntax without writing __pycache__
uv add requests                    # Add dependency to project
uv init --script foo.py            # Create script with inline metadata

Inline Script Dependencies

# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.12"
# dependencies = ["requests"]
# ///

See scripts.md for full details on running scripts, locking, and reproducibility.

Build Backend

Use uv_build for pure Python packages:

[build-system]
requires = ["uv_build>=0.9.28,<0.10.0"]
build-backend = "uv_build"

See build.md for project structure, namespaces, and file inclusion.

Files

What ships with it

2 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 mitsuhiko/agent-stuff (3,032 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 246 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
