+I want to be able to run `stravacook` from the CLI like the wrapper enables, instead of typing `uv run ~/code/bin/strava_cook.py` like a caveman.
 
 Creating the alias is easy by hardcoding a function in [shell profile](../Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1)
 ```powershell
-function stravacook { pipx run (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot strava_cook.py) @args }
+function stravacook { uv run (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot strava_cook.py) @args }
