+# Development
+
+This project uses [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management and packaging.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Install uv (see the [official installation guide](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/)):
+
+```sh
+# macOS / Linux
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+
+# Windows (PowerShell)
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
+```
+
+## Set up a dev environment
+
+```sh
+# Installs runtime + dev dependencies into a managed virtual environment
+uv sync --extra dev
+```
+
+## Build
+
+The wheel packages the `digitalai` tree.
+
+```sh
+# Build both sdist and wheel into ./dist
+uv build
+
+# Or build a single artifact
+uv build --wheel
+uv build --sdist
+```
+
+## Run tests
+
+```sh
+# Run the tests
+cd tests/release/integration
+uv run python -m unittest test_wrapper.py
+```
+
+## Publish to PyPI
+
+```sh
+# Publish the distribution (uploads everything in dist/ to PyPI)
+uv publish --token <pypi-token>
+```
+
+## Dependency management
+
+```sh
+# Add a runtime dependency
+uv add <package>
+
+# Add a development-only dependency
+uv add --dev <package>
+
+# Update the lockfile
+uv lock
+```

 - Easily manage input and output properties.
 - Interact with the Digital.ai Release environment seamlessly.
