Implements an academic paper (PDF or arXiv URL) as a NEW Pixie tool with reference fixtures from reported numbers. Use when the user gives a paper or arXiv link and asks to implement, reproduce, or replicate it. Do NOT use to cite (cite-source), for code (add-tool-from-repo), or specs (implement-model-from-spec).
Wraps a CLI binary or shell command (ffmpeg, curl, pandoc, imagemagick, yt-dlp) as a Pixie tool - generates tool.json from its flags plus a subprocess main.py, then validates. Use when the user names a CLI binary or shell command. Do NOT use for a Python script (wrap-local-script) or repo (add-tool-from-repo).
Generates a brand-new Pixie tool from a natural-language description - writes tool.json, pyproject.toml, main.py from scratch then validates. Use when the user asks to create, make, build, or generate a tool with NO artefact. Do NOT use given a Git URL, .py, .ipynb, .zip, Streamlit, Gradio, OpenAPI, or CLI binary.
Wraps an Excel .xlsx workbook as a Pixie tool by parsing its formula DAG and generating Python that reproduces every cell. Use when the user gives a .xlsx path and asks to wrap, port, or convert an Excel model. Do NOT use for .xlsm/.xlsb/.xls (refused), .csv (fetch-dataset-from-url), or prose.
Converts a Jupyter notebook (.ipynb) into a Pixie tool - extracts input/output cells, generates tool.json and FastAPI main.py, then validates. Use when the user gives a path to a .ipynb file and asks to add, wrap, convert, or import a notebook. Do NOT use for .py (wrap-local-script) or Streamlit (convert-streamlit-app).
Wraps a REST endpoint from an OpenAPI or Swagger spec as a Pixie tool - generates tool.json from spec parameters and a httpx main.py, then validates. Use when the user mentions OpenAPI, Swagger, openapi.yaml, or openapi.json. Do NOT use for a Python SDK repo (add-tool-from-repo) or vague API prose (add-tool-from-description).
Clones a Git repository and wraps its entrypoint as a Pixie tool - generates tool.json and FastAPI main.py then validates. Use when the user gives a Git URL and asks to add, clone, or wrap a repo. Do NOT use for .zip (import-tool), .py (wrap-local-script), .ipynb (add-tool-from-notebook), or prose (add-tool-from-description).
Archives a Pixie tool reversibly - hides it from the sidebar and deletes .venv to free disk; source kept. Use when the user asks to archive, hide, mothball, shelve, or stop using a tool without losing it. Do NOT use to delete forever (remove-tool), restore (unarchive-tool), or prune runs (clear-old-outputs).
