FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a modern Python project with uv and ruff?▼

To migrate a Python project from Poetry to uv, this skill replaces legacy dependency management tools with uv for fast installation and updates pyproject.toml accordingly. It handles the transition from pip, mypy, and black to modern equivalents like ruff and ty.

How do I integrate security scanning tools like pip-audit into a Python project?▼

To integrate security scanning, this skill configures pip-audit for dependency vulnerability checks and detect-secrets to prevent credential leaks. It also adds shellcheck, actionlint, and zizmor to secure the project's scripts and CI workflows.

Can I use ruff for both linting and formatting in a Python project?▼

Yes, you can use ruff for both linting and formatting, as this skill configures ruff to replace multiple legacy tools like black and flake8. It centralizes code quality enforcement within the pyproject.toml configuration.

What is the best way to configure type checking with ty in Python?▼

The best way to configure ty for type checking is through the pyproject.toml file, which this skill sets up automatically alongside ruff and uv. It provides a modern, high-performance alternative to mypy for catching type errors.
