Uv Package Manager

When to Use This Skill

Use UV package manager when you need:

• Fast dependency installation - 10-100x faster than pip
• Virtual environment management - Create and manage venvs effortlessly
• Project initialization - Start new Python projects quickly
• Dependency resolution - Reliable, reproducible dependency trees
• Lock file management - Ensure consistent environments across machines
• Python version management - Install and switch Python versions

Avoid when:

• Legacy systems requiring pip compatibility (rare)
• Conda-based scientific computing environments
• Docker images with pre-installed pip workflows

Installation

# Linux/macOS
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

# Homebrew
brew install uv

# pip (if needed)
pip install uv

Complete Examples

Example 1: New Project Setup

#!/bin/bash
# setup_project.sh - Initialize a new Python project with UV

PROJECT_NAME=${1:-"my-project"}

# Create and enter project
uv init "$PROJECT_NAME"
cd "$PROJECT_NAME"


*See sub-skills for full details.*
### Example 2: Migrate from pip to UV

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# migrate_to_uv.sh - Migrate existing project to UV

# Backup existing requirements
cp requirements.txt requirements.txt.bak 2>/dev/null || true

# Initialize UV project (if pyproject.toml doesn't exist)
if [ ! -f pyproject.toml ]; then
    uv init --no-readme
