Ax Playbook For Python
This skill helps an agent write Python code with the generated Ax package axllm. Use the generated package API, examples, and manifests; do not import TypeScript-only APIs unless you are editing the TypeScript package.
When To Use
- Grow an evolving context playbook for a program or agent stage with playbook().
- Attach a seed playbook to an agent and learn bounded avoidance rules from run-end failure signals.
- Use the agent-bound playbook evolve method to mine grounded weaknesses with verification and exact rollback.
- Refine a playbook online from live feedback or offline from labeled examples.
- Render or persist a playbook and inject it into a program context.
Package Facts
- Language: Python.
- Package:
axllm.
- Package API docs:
API.md and axir-api.json.
- Capability manifest:
axir-capabilities.json.
- Runnable examples:
examples/.
- Real network support: yes.
- Scripted no-key transport support: yes.
- Runtime profiles:
javascript-quickjs, python-pyodide.
Core Pattern
from axllm import ax, playbook
program = ax("question:string -> answer:string")
pb = playbook(program, {"studentAI": llm})
pb.evolve(examples, metric_fn)
Relevant API Surface
- Optimizers:
optimize, playbook, AxPlaybook, AxBootstrapFewShot, AxGEPA, OptimizerEngine, OptimizerEvaluator
Guardrails
- Start from package examples for exact native syntax before inventing a new call shape.
- Use
provider-api examples only when the user explicitly has provider credentials available.
- Use
no-key examples for deterministic local checks and provider request mapping.
- Treat AxIR as the source of generated package truth: if package docs disagree with source code, update the compiler and regenerate packages.
- Do not copy repo-maintainer skills from
tools/*/skills/ into user packages.
