hf-cloud-python-env-setup

Set up an isolated Python environment for SageMaker / AWS work, with the right Python version and current boto3. Use this skill whenever Python code will be executed for a SageMaker deployment, training job, or any AWS automation — including when about to run `pip install`, when about to invoke `boto3`, when creating or activating a virtualenv, or when the user asks to "set up the environment". Never use system Python and never `pip install` into it. Always isolate. This skill prevents the most common failure modes: wrong Python version, dependency conflicts, and stale SDKs.

Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit c3ff942be3e0, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

What its code does:

Runs shell commands Common for dev tools. Read the commands it runs.scripts/setup_env.py:68
Uses dependencies without a pinned version A later version of a dependency could change what runs.requirements.txt:16 and 1 more

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
