Prepare a local LangBot development and testing environment for an AI agent. Use when setting up WSL or Linux development, shared local URL variables, proxy variables, backend/frontend startup, Playwright MCP browser access, GitHub OAuth browser login, persisted Chrome profiles, or future Codex computer-use environment paths.
Develop, debug, and test LangBot plugins. Use when creating new LangBot plugins, fixing plugin bugs, setting up a LangBot test environment, or testing plugins via WebSocket. Covers plugin component architecture (EventListener, Command, Tool), the plugin SDK API (invoke_llm, get_llm_models, send_message, plugin storage), common pitfalls, and automated WebSocket-based testing. Triggers on "langbot plugin", "lbp", "GroupChatSummary", "plugin debug", "langbot test".
Deploy and configure a LangBot instance — Docker / Docker Compose, Kubernetes, the config.yaml model, the Box sandbox runtime, the plugin runtime, and the global API key. Use when installing, deploying, upgrading, or configuring LangBot in production or self-hosted environments. Triggers on "deploy langbot", "langbot docker", "langbot compose", "langbot kubernetes", "langbot config.yaml", "langbot box runtime", "langbot global api key".
Develop, build, and debug the LangBot core backend and web frontend. Use when working inside the LangBot repository — backend (Python/Quart, src/langbot/pkg), the Vite/React web UI, HTTP API controllers/services, Alembic migrations, or the MCP server. Covers the dev environment (uv, pnpm), repo layout, the API auth model (user token / API key / global key), adding API endpoints, and the rule that API changes must update the MCP server and skills. Triggers on "langbot backend", "langbot dev", "langbot api", "add langbot endpoint", "langbot migration".
Build, refactor, and test LangBot platform adapters for the Event-Based Agents architecture. Use when adding or migrating Telegram, Discord, or other messaging platform adapters to the EBA adapter layout, validating unified event/message conversion, writing live adapter probes, or using standalone plugin runtime plus Computer Use for end-to-end platform testing.
Operate a LangBot instance through its built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Use when an AI agent needs to manage LangBot — list/create/update/delete bots, pipelines, models, knowledge bases, MCP servers, and skills — over MCP instead of raw HTTP. Covers the /mcp endpoint, API-key auth (web-UI lbk_ keys and the config.yaml global key), the tool surface, and client configuration. Triggers on "langbot mcp", "manage langbot via mcp", "langbot /mcp", "langbot mcp server".
Maintain the langbot-skills repository with low duplication. Use when adding, editing, or auditing LangBot skills, references, cases, troubleshooting entries, indexes, or periodic entropy-control checks for this skills repository.
Browse and search the LangBot Space marketplaces (plugins, MCP servers, skills) through the Space MCP server. Use when an AI agent needs to discover LangBot extensions on space.langbot.app over MCP. Covers the /mcp endpoint, Personal Access Token (PAT) auth, the tool surface, and client configuration. Triggers on "langbot space mcp", "search langbot plugins", "langbot marketplace mcp", "space.langbot.app mcp".
