First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.\n\nSource: OpenCLI\n"},"fit":{"bestFor":"python envs, fast installs, and script execution from the terminal.","useThisIf":"You need packages and builds in both local dev and CI.","skipIf":"You don't work with packages and builds.","whatHappensNext":"Run `cd demo` to see it in action."},"capabilities":{"agentFriendly":true,"supportsJsonOutput":false,"supportsNonInteractive":true,"supportsDryRun":false,"requiresAuth":false,"requiresNetwork":false,"ciFriendly":true,"localFirst":false,"destructivePotential":"low"},"taxonomy":{"useCases":["Python envs","Fast installs","Script execution"],"aliases":["astral uv"],"keywords":["python package manager virtualenv"],"tags":["builder","agent-friendly","ci-friendly"]},"links":{"website":"https://docs.astral.sh/uv/","github":"https://github.com/astral-sh/uv","docs":"https://docs.astral.sh/uv/","opencli":"https://opencli.co/cli/uv","markdown":"https://opencli.co/cli/uv/agent.md","json":"https://opencli.co/cli/uv.json"},"metrics":{"githubStars":86126,"latestRelease":"2026-06-08T10:05:19Z","license":"Apache-2.0","metricLabel":"Homebrew installs (30d)","metricValue":177872,"metricSource":"homebrew","metricAsOf":"2026-06-08T11:00:37.824Z"}}
