What makes uv better than pip or Poetry?

uv is written in Rust and is 10-100x faster than pip. It provides a more robust dependency resolver, a global cache to save disk space, and handles Python version management, making it a more comprehensive tool than pip while being lighter and faster than Poetry.

Does uv manage Python versions directly?

Yes, uv can install and manage multiple Python versions using commands like 'uv python install' and 'uv python pin', eliminating the need for separate tools like pyenv.

How do I migrate an existing project to uv?

You can migrate by using 'uv init' to create a pyproject.toml, or 'uv add -r requirements.txt' to import existing dependencies. If you already have a pyproject.toml from Poetry or other tools, 'uv sync' will automatically generate a uv.lock file.

Can this skill help with Docker optimization?

Yes, the skill includes specific patterns for multi-stage Docker builds that leverage uv's speed and frozen lockfiles to create smaller, faster-building production images.

デプロイメントとDevOps

Manages Python dependencies and virtual environments with blazing speed using the Rust-powered uv tool.

概要

The UV Package Manager skill empowers Claude to master uv, an extremely fast Python package installer and resolver that replaces traditional tools like pip, pip-tools, and Poetry. This skill provides domain-specific expertise for setting up modern Python projects, managing complex dependency trees, and optimizing development workflows with Rust-based performance. It is particularly useful for developers looking to accelerate their local environment setup, resolve dependency conflicts efficiently, and streamline CI/CD or Docker configurations for reproducible, high-performance builds.
