ipybox

--- name: codeact description: Generate and execute code for acting with Python tools. Activate when user explicitly requests to "use the codeact skill" or similar phrases. --- Use Python tools to perform tasks. You must use the `execute_ipython_cell` tool of the `ipybox` MCP server for executing Python code. All operations must follow the tool usage restrictions and workflows defined below. ## Tool Directories The `gentools/` and `mcptools/` directories are in the **working directory** shown in your `<env>` block. All paths are relative to the working directory, NOT to this skill's base directory. ## Tool Usage Restrictions You are restricted to these tools only: ### Python Tools - Functions in `mcptools/<category>/<tool>.py` (use `run_parsed` if defined, otherwise `run`) - Functions in `gentools/<category>/<tool>/api.py` ### `ipybox` MCP Server Tools - `execute_ipython_cell` - Execute Python code - `reset` - Reset the IPython kernel ### Claude Code Filesystem Tools - All filesystem tools for reading, writing files, and listing directories. ## Workflow ### 1. Python Tool Selection 1. List available categories in `gentools/` and `mcptools/` 2. List available tools in relevant categories 3. Read tool files to understand interfaces and parameters. ### 2. Python Tool Priority 1. Search `gentools` package first 2. If not found, search `mcptools` package 3. If no appropriate tool exists, generate custom code ### 3. Code Generation and Python Tool Chaining - Generate code that uses selected Python tools as argument for `execute_ipython_cell`. - Chain Python tools in the generated code if the structured output of one tool can be used as input for another tool. ### 4. Code Execution - Use the `execute_ipython_cell` for Python code execution - Print only required information, not intermediate results - Store intermediate results in variables ## Output Parsers When generating output parsers for Python tools in the `mcptools` package, see [references/output-parsers.md](references/output-parsers.md). ## Saving Code Actions To save executed code as a reusable gentools tool, see [references/saving-codeacts.md](references/saving-codeacts.md).
