What it does

Pypi Maintainer is an agent skill from agentculture/culture. Switch a PyPI package install between the production index, TestPyPI pre-release builds, and a local editable checkout. Use when an agent maintains a package and needs to verify a TestPyPI dev build before promoting to production, or when the user says "install from test-pypi", "switch to local", "change package source", or "install from pypi".

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/switch-source.sh`).

It sits in Mobile, covering App store release. The repository describes itself as: Culture turns isolated stochastic agents into cooperative, inspectable, improvable artificial colleagues. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • An agent maintains a package and needs to verify a TestPyPI dev build before promoting to production
  • The user says install from test-pypi
  • Switch to local
  • Change package source

Example prompts

  • “install from test-pypi”
  • “switch to local”
  • “change package source”
  • “/pypi-maintainer”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44865d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Pypi Maintainer loads about 711 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 236 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~711

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Switch a PyPI package install between the production index, TestPyPI pre-release builds, and a local editable checkout. Use when an agent maintains a package and needs to verify a TestPyPI dev build before promoting to production, or when the user says "install from test-pypi", "switch to local", "change package source", or "install from pypi".

PyPI Maintainer

Switch the install source for a package the agent maintains. Three sources are supported: production PyPI, TestPyPI (pre-release / dev builds), and a local editable checkout. The same script works for any package an AgentCulture sibling publishes — pass the package name as the first argument.

When to use

  • Verifying a PR's TestPyPI dev build before merging.
  • Reproducing a user-reported bug against the published version.
  • Hot-patching against a local checkout while a fix is in flight.
  • Restoring the production install after local-mode debugging.

Usage

bash
# Production PyPI
bash .claude/skills/pypi-maintainer/scripts/switch-source.sh <package> pypi

# TestPyPI (pre-release dev builds)
bash .claude/skills/pypi-maintainer/scripts/switch-source.sh <package> test-pypi

# TestPyPI, pinned to a specific dev version
bash .claude/skills/pypi-maintainer/scripts/switch-source.sh <package> test-pypi --version 0.4.0.dev42

# Local editable checkout (defaults to current directory)
bash .claude/skills/pypi-maintainer/scripts/switch-source.sh <package> local

# Local editable from an explicit path
bash .claude/skills/pypi-maintainer/scripts/switch-source.sh <package> local --path ../<package>

Prerequisites

The script requires the following tools on PATH:

  • bash
  • uv — the script delegates to uv tool install and uv tool list (or uv pip install for local).

Why TestPyPI needs special flags

When a package is published to both PyPI and TestPyPI, uv tool install finds the production version on PyPI first and never looks at TestPyPI. The script passes --index-strategy unsafe-best-match so uv compares the two index sets and picks the highest version, plus --prerelease=allow because TestPyPI builds carry dev suffixes (e.g. 0.4.0.dev42).

After running

The script prints the resolved version once install completes — cross-check that against the expected version (PR run number, local pyproject.toml) before continuing.

Arguments

Position / flagMeaning
<package> (required)The PyPI distribution name, e.g. steward-cli, culture, daria-cli.
<source> (required)One of pypi, test-pypi, local.
--version VERSIONPin to a specific version (TestPyPI builds typically need this).
--path PATHLocal-source-only: path to the editable checkout (default: cwd).
