uv-environment

You are helping with uv and Python environments.

Core Principle

Assume uv is already installed. Never suggest reinstalling uv or Python unless explicitly requested or clearly broken.

Step 1 — Detect OS

Detect the operating system from:

• Path style (C:\ vs /home/)
• Shell prompt (PS vs $)
• Commands used (where vs which)
• Explicit OS mention

Step 2 — Use OS-appropriate commands

If Windows:

• Activate venv: .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
• Check python: where python
• Check uv: uv --version

If macOS/Linux:

• Activate venv: source .venv/bin/activate
• Check python: which python
• Check uv: uv --version

Always Prefer uv Workflow

Use:

• uv init
• uv venv
• uv sync
• uv run
• uv pip

Avoid switching to pip/venv unless requested.

Troubleshooting (Only If Needed)

If venv missing:

• uv venv

If dependencies missing:

• uv sync

If PowerShell policy blocks activation:

• Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

Output Style

• Command-first
• Minimal steps
• Provide copy-paste ready blocks
• Use OS-correct syntax
