Uv Python Versions

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to query available Python versions supported by the uv package manager and install specific versions into isolated environments. It streamlines dependency management by allowing agents to dynamically select compatible runtimes for backend tasks.

When to use it

• Setting up a new project that requires a specific, non-default Python version (e.g., 3.9 or 3.12).
• Resolving compatibility issues where dependencies fail on the system's default interpreter.
• Automating environment provisioning in CI/CD pipelines for testing across multiple Python versions.
• Creating reproducible development environments without manual python -m venv configuration.

Key capabilities

• Lists all currently available Python versions compatible with uv.
• Installs a selected Python version directly into the current working directory.
• Manages isolated virtual environments tailored to the requested interpreter version.

Example prompts

• "List all available Python versions I can install using uv."
• "Create a new environment using Python 3.10 for this project."
• "Install Python 3.9 and set it as the active interpreter for my backend service."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have uv installed on your system before invoking this skill, as the agent relies on its CLI to fetch version data and manage installations. This tool is specifically designed for projects utilizing the uv ecosystem rather than standard pip or venv workflows.
