python-scripting
Python scripting with uv and PEP 723 inline dependencies. Use when creating standalone Python scripts with automatic dependency management.
Best use case
python-scripting is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt. It is especially useful for teams working in multi. Python scripting with uv and PEP 723 inline dependencies. Use when creating standalone Python scripts with automatic dependency management.
Python scripting with uv and PEP 723 inline dependencies. Use when creating standalone Python scripts with automatic dependency management.
Users should expect a more consistent workflow output, faster repeated execution, and less time spent rewriting prompts from scratch.
Practical example
Example input

Example output
A structured workflow result with clearer steps, more consistent formatting, and an output that is easier to reuse in the next run.
When to use this skill
- Use this skill when you want a reusable workflow rather than writing the same prompt again and again.
When not to use this skill
- Do not use this when you only need a one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- Do not use it if you cannot install or maintain the related files, repository context, or supporting tools.

# Python Scripting Skill Creates self-contained Python scripts using uv and PEP 723 inline script metadata. ## What This Skill Does - Creates standalone Python scripts - Uses PEP 723 inline dependencies - Sets up argument parsing - Handles input/output - Configures reproducible builds ## When to Use - Standalone utility scripts - One-off automation tasks - Quick data processing - CLI tools - Scripts that need dependencies ## Reference Files - `references/UV_SCRIPT.template.py` - Python script template with PEP 723 metadata ## PEP 723 Format ```python #!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script # /// script # requires-python = ">=3.12" # dependencies = [ # "requests", # "rich", # ] # /// ``` ## Running Scripts ```bash uv run script.py [args] ``` Dependencies install automatically on first run. ## Best Practices - Use `exclude-newer` for reproducibility - Include docstring with usage examples - Use argparse for CLI arguments - Return exit codes (0 success, non-zero error) - Keep scripts focused on one task
