description	Use this when working on binary/package provider resolution, installs, updates, CLI execution, env activation, provider cache, and provider tests.

abxpkg

Purpose

abxpkg is the binary/package provider library and CLI for resolving, installing, updating, running, and inspecting runtime dependencies.

Shared Rules

• Keep this repo on branch main.
• Use uv and uv run for Python commands.
• Do not use system python, direct .venv/bin/python, or pip commands.
• Use real CLI commands, real providers, real installs, real subprocesses, real package metadata, and real files.
• Do not mock, monkeypatch, fake, simulate, skip, xfail, or weaken tests.
• Verify binary paths, versions, provider state, installed metadata, env output, filesystem contents, and side effects.
• Read README.md for the full provider, CLI, Python API, config, and release surface.

Development Setup

uv sync
uv run abxpkg --help
uv run abxpkg version

User-Facing Setup

uv tool install abxpkg
abxpkg version

Basic Usage

uv run abxpkg load wget
uv run abxpkg install yt-dlp
uv run abxpkg run wget --version
uv run abxpkg env yt-dlp
uv run abxpkg search chromium
uv run abx yt-dlp --help

Verification

uv run pytest tests/test_chromewebstoreprovider.py -q

Provider-specific logic belongs in provider classes. Shared provider infrastructure should stay provider-agnostic.
