AGILab runbook (Agent Skill)
Use this skill when you need repo-specific “how we do things” guidance in agilab/: launching Streamlit, regenerating run-config wrappers, debugging installs, or preparing releases.
Background: Agent Skills (status update 2026-01-08)
- Codex now supports Agent Skills using the open Agent Skills standard (
SKILL.md+ folder layout). - Skills support progressive disclosure: only name/description load initially; full instructions load when invoked.
- Skill scopes: repo (
.codex/skills/…), user (~/.codex/skills/…), and admin/system (/etc/codex/skills/…). - Security note: skills are executable/context-bearing packages; treat third-party skills as supply-chain inputs (audit, pin versions, prefer sandboxes/approvals).
AGILab working rules (repo policy)
- Use
uvfor all runs so dependencies resolve in managed envs:uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python …uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run streamlit …
- No repo
uvx: do not runuvx agilabfrom this checkout (it will run the published wheel and ignore local changes). - Run config parity: after editing
.idea/runConfigurations/*.xml, regenerate wrappers:uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/generate_runconfig_scripts.py
- Streamlit API: do not add
st.experimental_rerun(); usest.rerun. - No silent fallbacks: avoid runtime “auto-fallbacks” between API clients or parameter rewrites; fail fast with actionable errors.
Common commands (from the runbook matrix)
- Dev UI:
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run streamlit run src/agilab/AGILAB.py -- --openai-api-key "…" --apps-dir src/agilab/apps - Apps-pages smoke:
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/smoke_preinit.py --active-app src/agilab/apps/builtin/flight_project --timeout 20 - Publish dry-run (TestPyPI):
cd "$PROJECT_DIR" && uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python tools/pypi_publish.py --repo testpypi --dry-run --leave-most-recent --verbose
Troubleshooting reminders
- Missing import: check both manager and worker
pyproject.tomlscopes (src/agilab/apps/<app>/pyproject.tomlandsrc/agilab/apps/<app>/src/<app>_worker/pyproject.toml). - Installer pip issue: run
uv --preview-features extra-build-dependencies run python -m ensurepip --upgradeonce in the target venv.
