### 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
- [ ] Post-merge workflow(s) (release & publish containers, etc)
- [ ] Release order plan. @EricGustin suggests releasing in the
following order:
1. `arcade-core` version 0.1.0
2. `arcade-serve` version 0.1.0 and `arcade-tdk` version 0.1.0
3. `arcade-ai` version 2.0.0
4. Patch release for all toolkits (all changes in toolkits are internal
refactors)
- [ ] [Update docs](https://github.com/ArcadeAI/docs/pull/318)

Addresses general improvements to all toolkits including changing ruff
from python 3.9 to python 3.10 which is the reason for the removal of
Optional[] among others.
Also, turns out that our `make install` for toolkits wasn't correctly
checking for whether poetry was installed (&> /dev/null syntax isn't
supported by our check-toolkits GitHub action, so we were installing
poetry twice. I replaced with the more portable >/dev/null 2>&1)
Question: Should we also change ruff to py310 for the `arcade/` package
in a later PR?

# PR Description
* Adds/updates the following files to all toolkits:
- `.pre-commit-config.yaml`
- `.ruff.toml`
- `LICENSE`
- `Makefile`
- `pyproject.toml`
* Lint all toolkits such that they pass `make check` and `make test` (a
total doozy). This includes adding some unit tests and evals.
* Github workflow for testing toolkits before merge into main (courtesy
of @sdreyer)
* Added a QOL improvement for tool developers for when they need to get
the context's auth token.
* Minor updates to `arcade new` template.
This PR ensures that `arcade.core` does not show up anywhere in "user
space". This is crucial for helping developers understand what objects
are safe to use, and helps maintain a good developer experience.
Specific changes:
- `ToolAuthorizationContext` and `ToolContext` are now visible via
`arcade.sdk`
- `ToolCatalog` is now visible via `arcade.sdk`
- `Toolkit` is now visible via `arcade.sdk`
- `config` is now visible via `arcade.sdk.config`
### Adds the following tools to the Github Toolkit:
1. CreateIssueComment
2. SetStarred
3. CountStargazers
4. ListOrgRepositories
5. GetRepository
6. ListRepositoryActivities
7. ListReviewCommentsInARepository
8. ListPullRequests
9. GetPullRequest
10. UpdatePullRequest
11. ListPullRequestCommits
12. CreateReplyForReviewComment
13. ListReviewCommentsOnPullRequest
14. CreateReviewComment
Adds evals for all of these tools and unit tests.
