- simonw 10mo agoSkills only work if you have a code environment up and running and available for a coding agent to execute commands in. You can absolutely have a skill that tells the coding agent how to use Python with your preferred virtual environment mechanism. I ended up solving that in a slightly different way - I have a Claude hook that spits attempts to run "python" or "python3" and returns an error saying "use uv run instead".
