This is so cool. Do you know if it's as simple as uv writing the correct pyproject.toml file for you, or is it doing something more than that?

If you write the code in the right function in the right file, you don't even need to edit the pyproject.toml. (You need to have a function `main` importable from `mycli`, if I'm not mistaken. To specify a different entry point you'd have to modify the file `pyproject.toml`.)
