Features

Preset-based project creation from YAML configs with single inheritance

Augment existing projects with CI workflows, tests, Docker, documentation, and more

Three package managers: Poetry, uv (PEP 621 + hatchling), and setuptools (PEP 621 + setuptools.build_meta)

Two layout styles: src/ layout and flat layout

Type checking: mypy, pyright, ty, or none

Code quality: ruff linting/formatting, radon complexity checks, pre-commit hooks

Docker & devcontainer: generate multi-stage Dockerfiles, .dockerignore, and VS Code devcontainer configs (Docker or Podman)

Coverage integration: Codecov support with configurable thresholds and ignore patterns

Documentation scaffolding: MkDocs (Material theme) or Sphinx (RTD theme) with optional GitHub Pages deployment

Multi-environment testing: tox configuration with tox-uv backend

pyenv / .python-version: generate .python-version for pyenv and uv, with python-version-file in CI workflows

Version management: bump-my-version integration, GitHub release automation via gh CLI

Workflow verification: local GitHub Actions testing with act (auto-detect, auto-install, dry-run and full-run modes)

PyPI metadata management: read, set, and check publish-readiness of pyproject.toml metadata

User defaults: persistent config at ~/.config/pypreset/config.yaml

MCP server: expose all functionality to AI coding assistants via the Model Context Protocol
