| description | Code quality checks, linting, formatting, and type checking commands for the Agent Framework Python codebase. Use this when running checks, fixing lint errors, or troubleshooting CI failures. |
All commands run from the python/ directory:
# Syntax formatting + checks (parallel across packages by default)
uv run poe syntax
uv run poe syntax -P core
uv run poe syntax -F # Format only
uv run poe syntax -C # Check only
uv run poe syntax -S # Samples only
# Type checking
#
# Division of labor (see "Type checking architecture" below):
# - Pyright (strict) is the source-code type checker.
# - Pyright (relaxed `basic`), mypy, pyrefly, ty, zuban all check the TESTS;
# pyright/pyrefly/ty also check the SAMPLES (mypy/zuban skip script-style samples).
uv run poe pyright # Pyright (strict) over SOURCE, fan-out across packages
uv run poe pyright -P core
uv run poe pyright -A
uv run poe test-typing # mypy + pyrefly + ty + zuban + pyright over each package's TESTS
uv run poe test-typing -P core
uv run poe test-typing -S # samples (pyrefly + ty + pyright)
uv run poe test-typing -P core --checker mypy # narrow to one checker (repeatable)
uv run poe test-typing -P core --checker pyright # relaxed pyright over the tests
uv run poe mypy # alias: MyPy over the tests only
uv run poe mypy -P core
uv run poe typing # Pyright (source) + the tests checkers
uv run poe typing -P core
uv run poe typing -A
# All package-level checks in parallel (syntax + pyright)
uv run poe check-packages
# Full check (packages + samples + tests + markdown)
uv run poe check
uv run poe check -P core
# Samples only
uv run poe check -S
uv run poe pyright -S
# Markdown code blocks
uv run poe markdown-code-lintPrek hooks run automatically on commit. They stay lightweight and only check changed files.
# Install hooks
uv run poe prek-install
# Run all hooks manually
uv run prek run -a
# Run on last commit
uv run prek run --last-commitThey run changed-package syntax formatting/checking, markdown code lint only
when markdown files change, and sample syntax lint/pyright only when files
under samples/ change.
They intentionally do not run workspace pyright or mypy by default.
Following the "too many type checkers" approach, type checkers are split by target:
| Target | Checker(s) | Mode | Config |
|---|---|---|---|
Source (agent_framework*) |
pyright | strict | [tool.pyright] in pyproject.toml |
| Tests | pyright, mypy, pyrefly, ty, zuban | relaxed/basic | pyrightconfig.tests.json, [tool.mypy], pyrefly.toml, ty rules |
| Samples | pyright, pyrefly, ty | basic | pyrightconfig.samples.json, pyrefly.samples.toml, ty.samples.toml |
- Pyright is the only strict source-code checker, and it ALSO runs in a relaxed
basicprofile over the tests and samples (so the surfaces customers copy from are validated by every checker, including pyright). MyPy was removed from source; its[tool.mypy]block is now a relaxed profile used only for tests/samples. - The extra checkers run over tests/samples because those exercise the public API the way users do. The profile is intentionally relaxed (private access allowed, untyped test bodies allowed) so authors aren't forced into ugly over-annotation.
- Gating checkers are
pyright,mypy,pyrefly,ty, andzuban— all five run by default and gate CI.zubanis the strictest of the mypy-compatible pair, so the same[tool.mypy]config yields more findings; suppress zuban-only friction with shared# type: ignore[code]. Suppress relaxed-pyright friction with# pyright: ignore[rule]. - Samples add
pyrighttopyrefly+ty— mypy/zuban can't resolve script-style sample layouts (numeric-prefixed dirs, duplicatemain.py), but pyright handles them. - The strict source-pyright (
[tool.pyright]) enforcesreportUnnecessaryTypeIgnoreCommentand excludes tests/samples; the relaxed test/sample pyright configs do not flag unnecessary ignores.
- Line length: 120
- Target: Python 3.10+
- Auto-fix enabled
- Rules: ASYNC, B, CPY, D, E, ERA, F, FIX, I, INP, ISC, Q, RET, RSE, RUF, SIM, T20, TD, W, T100, S
- Scripts directory is excluded from checks
- Source: strict mode (
[tool.pyright]),reportUnnecessaryTypeIgnoreComment = "error", excludes tests, samples, .venv, packages/devui/frontend. - Tests: relaxed
basicprofile (pyrightconfig.tests.json) — private import/usage and not-required TypedDict access allowed; runs as thepyrightchecker intest-typing. - Samples: relaxed
basicprofile (pyrightconfig.samples.json, with a py310 variant) — runs as thepyrightchecker intest-typing -S.
The task runner (scripts/task_runner.py) executes the cross-product of
(package × task) in parallel using ThreadPoolExecutor. Single items run
in-process with streaming output.
CI splits into 4 parallel jobs:
- Pre-commit hooks — lightweight hooks (SKIP=poe-check)
- Package checks — syntax/pyright (source) via check-packages
- Samples & markdown —
check -Splusmarkdown-code-lint - Test Typing — change-detected mypy/pyrefly/ty over tests (
ci-test-typing)
