pyrig
A tool that standardizes and automates Python project setup, configuration, development, and maintenance.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are starting a new Python project and want to eliminate boilerplate setup. pyrig is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and requires only standard modern dependencies. The 1-day-old release and active commits suggest ongoing development. Start with `uv init` and `uv add pyrig --dev` to test it on a new project.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.12+, Git, and uv package manager installed on the system.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel.
- Active maintenance with a release 1 day old and commits through 2026-08-13.

What it is and what it does
pyrig is a project initialization and maintenance tool that generates a complete, fully configured Python project structure in one command. It scaffolds standardized directories, installs and configures development tools (linters, formatters, type checkers, test frameworks, git hooks), sets up GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines with repository protection, and generates a working CLI for your project. It treats all configuration files as data structures with validation, allowing you to override behavior through subclassing.
The tool is designed for developers who want to start new Python projects without manual boilerplate setup. It automates configuration management, generates test skeletons that stay in sync with your source code, and provides commands to generate new CLI commands, custom configuration classes, and other project artifacts. It requires Python 3.12+, Git, and the uv package manager.
Use it for
- Quickly initialize a new Python project with all standard dev tools, linting, formatting, and testing already configured.
- Generate and maintain a CLI for your project automatically, adding new commands without manual scaffolding.
- Set up GitHub Actions workflows and repository protection rules for CI/CD in one step.
- Keep test skeletons synchronized with your source modules as your project evolves.
- Customize project configuration by subclassing pyrig's file management classes without editing configuration files directly.
