### Overview
Major restructuring from monolithic `arcade-ai` package to modular
library architecture with standardized uv-based dependency management.
### New Package Structure
- **`arcade-tdk`** - Lightweight toolkit development kit (core
decorators, auth)
- **`arcade-core`** - Core execution engine and catalog functionality
- **`arcade-serve`** - FastAPI/MCP server components
- **`arcade-ai`** - Meta package that includes CLI functionality.
Optionally include evals via the `evals` extra. Optionally include all
packages via the `all` extra.
### Key Benefits
- **Lighter Dependencies**: Toolkits now depend only on `arcade-tdk` (~2
deps) vs full `arcade-ai` (~30+ deps)
- **Faster Builds**: uv provides 10-100x faster dependency resolution
and installation
- **Better Modularity**: Clear separation of concerns, consumers import
only what they need
- **Standard Tooling**: Eliminates custom poetry scripts, uses standard
Python packaging
### Migration Impact
- All 20 toolkits converted from poetry → uv with `arcade-tdk`
dependencies plus `arcade-ai[evals]` and `arcade-serve` dev
dependencies. When developing locally, devs should install toolkits via
`make install-local`.
- Modern Python 3.10+ type hints throughout
- Standardized build system with hatchling backend
- Enhanced Makefile with robust toolkit management commands
- Removed `arcade dev` CLI command
- Reduce the number of files created by `arcade new` and add an option
to not generate a tests and evals folder.
This foundation enables faster development cycles and cleaner dependency
chains for the growing toolkit ecosystem.
### Todo After this PR is merged

## PR Description
Changes `pip install 'arcade-ai[fastapi]'` to `pip install arcade-ai`.
In other words, FastAPI is now a required dependecy of arcade-ai.
Additionally, I snuck in some minor cleanup changes.
# PR Description
* This PR updates code in `examples/` to be compatible with version
1.0.0
* This PR removes the Spotify examples since the Arcade hosted worker
doesn't currently cataloge the Spotify toolkit. We can reintroduce these
examples when it does.
* This PR performs various renames across the codebase for
`arcade-ai.com` --> `arcade.dev` and `Arcade AI` --> `Arcade`
# PR Description
This PR is a part of the community contributed toolkits story.
* `arcade new` now uses jinja templates
* `arcade new` now creates a "cookiecutter" toolkit equipped with
everything a community contributed toolkit needs to be easily tested,
published to PyPi, etc. as its own Github repo
* I created the following toolkit with `arcade new`:
- [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/arcade-local-file-management/0.1.5/)
-
[Github](https://github.com/EricGustin/local_file_management/tree/0.1.5)
