Streamline your Python projects with UV for superior package management. Discover essential commands, script integration, and rules to avoid pip or poetry pitfalls for faster, reliable dependency control.

Rule Content
1. **Adopt UV as Your Sole Dependency Manager**: Enforce UV for all installations, synchronizations, and lockfile generations in Python projects. Prohibit alternatives like pip, pip-tools, or poetry to ensure consistency and speed.

2. **Master Core Dependency Commands**: Use `uv add <package>` to install or update packages, `uv remove <package>` to eliminate them, and `uv sync` to reinstall everything from the lockfile, keeping your environment precise and reproducible.

3. **Execute Scripts with Dependency Awareness**: Launch Python scripts via `uv run script.py` to automatically resolve and load required dependencies without manual activation.

4. **Embed Dependencies Directly in Scripts**: Customize script metadata inline using comments like `/// script` blocks to specify Python version and packages (e.g., requires-python and dependencies list), enabling self-contained execution.

5. **Handle Script-Specific Dependencies via CLI**: Target individual scripts with `uv add package-name --script script.py` for additions/updates, `uv remove package-name --script script.py` for removals, and `uv sync --script script.py` for lockfile-based reinstalls.
