This Skill helps you create standalone Python scripts with automatic dependency management using uv and PEP 723 inline dependencies. It eliminates the need to manually install packages and ensures reproducible, portable scripts.
Use the included UV_SCRIPT.template.py to generate a starter script and run it with uv to automatically install dependencies on first run.

Self-contained Python scripts with automatic dependency management use PEP 723 inline metadata to declare required packages. uv executes the script and automatically installs dependencies on first run, eliminating manual package installation and ensuring reproducibility across environments.
PEP 723 defines a standard for embedding project metadata directly in Python script files. It lets you declare dependencies inline without separate configuration files, making scripts truly standalone and portable while maintaining full reproducibility.
Yes. uv executes Python scripts and automatically resolves and installs dependencies declared via PEP 723 metadata on first execution. This eliminates the need for virtual environments or manual dependency management for one-off utilities and automation tasks.
Combine argparse for CLI argument parsing with PEP 723 inline dependencies. The script template includes argument handling patterns, letting you build CLI tools that parse user input, manage external library dependencies, and run reproducibly with uv.
Inline dependency metadata works best for standalone utilities and small automation tasks. It's less suited for large multi-file projects or complex dependency graphs; use traditional packaging tools like pip and requirements.txt for those scenarios.
Yes. uv must be available in your environment to execute scripts with embedded PEP 723 metadata and automatic dependency resolution. Once installed, uv handles all downstream package installation transparently.
