What is the benefit of using UV workspaces?

UV workspaces provide a single lockfile and a unified virtual environment for multiple Python packages, ensuring version consistency and faster synchronization across a monorepo.

How do I build a specific package in a UV workspace?

Use the command 'uv build --package ' to build a specific member without building the entire workspace.

How do I declare a workspace member?

Members are declared in the root pyproject.toml under [tool.uv.workspace] using either explicit paths or glob patterns like 'packages/*'.

Can I depend on one workspace package from another?

Yes, you can list the package as a dependency and specify '{ workspace = true }' in the [tool.uv.sources] section of the dependent package.

Developer Tools

Orchestrates Python monorepos and multi-package projects using uv workspaces for streamlined dependency and build management.

About

The UV Python Workspaces skill empowers Claude to handle complex monorepo architectures using the high-performance uv tool. It provides specialized guidance on configuring root-level workspaces, managing shared lockfiles, and establishing dependencies between workspace members. This skill is essential for developers maintaining large-scale Python projects, shared libraries, or microservice suites that require consistent environment synchronization and optimized build workflows.

Key Features

Workspace member configuration and glob pattern matching
Targeted building and synchronization of specific packages
Unified lockfile management for multi-package projects
Best practices for shared development dependency groups
Inter-package dependency management with workspace sources
3 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Architecting a Python monorepo with shared core utilities and multiple service apps
Synchronizing local development environments for large-scale multi-package systems
Managing consistent dependency versions across a plugin-based architecture
