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
