SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create and update Pipfile dependency declarations without breaking Pipenv’s expected TOML structure or corrupting deterministic lockfile behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

Pipfile structure guidance: Define and validate the correct separation of [packages] and [dev-packages] including sources.
Locking discipline: Ensure dependencies are pinned in Pipfile.lock with deterministic hashes and avoid manual lockfile edits.
Migration and conflict handling: Resolve Pipfile merge conflicts using standard TOML syntax and migrate from requirements.txt into Pipenv layout.

Quick Start

Use the pipfile skill to rewrite and validate your Pipfile content after a merge conflict while keeping Pipfile.lock intact.

FAQPage Schema

How do I resolve a Pipfile merge conflict without breaking TOML syntax?▼

To resolve a Pipfile merge conflict, rewrite the file using standard TOML syntax while maintaining strict separation between [packages] and [dev-packages] sections. This ensures Pipenv can still parse the dependency declarations correctly.

What is the correct way to migrate from requirements.txt to Pipenv?▼

Migrating from requirements.txt to Pipenv involves translating existing dependencies into a Pipfile with proper [packages] and [dev-packages] separation. This transition updates your Python packaging structure to use Pipenv-style declarations.

Can I manually edit Pipfile.lock to pin a specific dependency version?▼

Pipfile.lock must never be manually edited to ensure deterministic dependency behavior. Locking discipline requires dependencies to be pinned with hashes through Pipenv commands, preventing corruption of the lockfile's integrity.

How do I separate dev dependencies from production packages in a Pipfile?▼

Separating dev dependencies from production packages in a Pipfile requires placing testing and development tools under the [dev-packages] section, while core application dependencies go under [packages], enforcing strict structural separation.

Does Pipenv require a specific structure for defining package sources?▼

Pipenv requires a valid TOML structure where package sources are correctly defined alongside the strict separation of [packages] and [dev-packages]. Validating this structure prevents dependency resolution errors.
