Common Patterns
try:
from .core.engine import Engine
HAS_ENGINE = True
except ImportError:
HAS_ENGINE = False
import h3
cell = h3.latlng_to_cell(lat, lng, resolution)
lat, lng = h3.cell_to_latlng(cell)
Testing
uv run python GEO-INFER-TEST/run_unified_tests.py
uv run python -m pytest GEO-INFER-MATH/tests/ -v
uv run python -m pytest GEO-INFER-MATH/tests/ --cov=GEO-INFER-MATH/src
Modular Hygiene
uv sync --all-packages --all-extras
uv run python GEO-INFER-TEST/validate_repo_contracts.py --strict-source-language --skip-import-smoke
- Root
pyproject.toml, uv.lock, and .python-version define the uv workspace.
- Each module keeps importable behavior under
src/ and at least four pytest files under tests/.
- Planned work belongs in root
TODO.md or a tracked issue, not source or test task markers.
- Importable modules use
logging.getLogger(__name__); CLI entrypoints configure process-wide logging.
Examples
Cross-Module Pipeline
from geo_infer_data.formats.geojson import GeoJSONLoader
from geo_infer_space.backends.h3 import H3Backend
from geo_infer_math.core.spatial_statistics import MoranI
from geo_infer_bayes.core.bayesian_inference import BayesianModel
features = GeoJSONLoader().load("observations.geojson")
backend = H3Backend()
cells = backend.tessellate(features.bounds, resolution=7)
moran = MoranI(values, weight_matrix)
result = moran.compute()
model = BayesianModel(prior="normal", likelihood="normal")
posterior = model.fit(data)
Domain Workflow: Agricultural Risk
from geo_infer_ag.models.soil_health import SoilHealthModel
from geo_infer_risk.core.risk_engine import RiskEngine
from geo_infer_space.backends.h3 import H3Backend
cells = H3Backend().tessellate(farm_polygon, resolution=9)
soil = SoilHealthModel()
health = {cell: soil.assess(cell) for cell in cells}
risk = RiskEngine().assess(hazard=drought_index, exposure=health)
Active Inference Agent
from geo_infer_agent.core.active_inference import ActiveInferenceAgent
import numpy as np
agent = ActiveInferenceAgent(n_states=8, n_observations=5, n_actions=4)
obs = np.random.dirichlet(np.ones(5))
action = agent.act(obs)
print(f"Action: {action}, Free energy: {agent.free_energy:.4f}")
Guidelines
- No mock/stub/placeholder code — every function must have real logic
- Active Inference first — ground implementations in free energy minimization
- Type hints everywhere — full annotations on all parameters and returns
- H3 v4 only — use
latlng_to_cell, not legacy geo_to_h3
- Graceful degradation — optional deps via
try/except ImportError
- Logger, not print — use structured logging in all modules
- Root task ledger — use
TODO.md or issues for future work; keep source and tests free of task markers
- uv workspace hygiene — keep root
pyproject.toml, .python-version, and uv.lock as the shared environment contract
- Check each module's
SKILL.md for domain-specific rules and integrations
