dependency-update-helper

Manage Python dependencies using uv by adding, updating, and removing packages through uv commands. This Skill processes pyproject.toml and uv.lock files to ensure your project environment matches the locked dependency versions exactly.

The best way to synchronize a Python project environment with a uv.lock file is using the uv sync command. This ensures all dependencies are installed correctly and consistently, preventing environment conflicts during onboarding or machine setup.

Yes, you can add a package as a development dependency using uv commands. The Skill handles dependency categorization within pyproject.toml, validating compatibility while integrating with pre-commit hooks for automated checks.

You should use uv instead of pip to streamline Python dependency management and prevent version conflicts. Using uv exclusively ensures project consistency by validating dependency compatibility and synchronizing environments based on the lock file.

Yes, uv dependency management integrates with pre-commit hooks for automated checks. This integration validates dependency compatibility and ensures your pyproject.toml and uv.lock files remain consistent across commits.

A limitation of using this Skill is that it manages dependencies exclusively through uv, meaning direct pip usage is bypassed. It relies strictly on pyproject.toml and uv.lock files for all package additions, updates, and environment synchronization.
