DSPy Core

Core guidance for working with the DSPy framework: signatures, modules, programs, compilation, and testing.

Environment Setup

This skill requires uv as the Python package manager. Always ensure a uv virtual environment is active before running any DSPy code.

# Create and activate a uv virtual environment
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dspy
uv pip install dspy

Rule: Never use raw pip or python -m pip. Always use uv pip for package installation and uv run for script execution.
