basic-open-agent-tools

An open foundational toolkit providing essential components for building AI agents with minimal dependencies for local (non-HTTP/API) actions. Designed to offer core utilities and interfaces that developers can easily integrate into their own agents to avoid excess boilerplate, while being simpler than solutions requiring MCP or A2A.

Installation

pip install basic-open-agent-tools

Or with UV:

uv add basic-open-agent-tools

Usage

from basic_open_agent_tools import file_system

# File operations
content = file_system.read_file_to_string("file.txt")
file_system.write_file_from_string("output.txt", "Hello!")

# Directory operations  
files = file_system.list_directory_contents("/path/to/dir")
file_system.create_directory("new_dir")

Best Practices for Contributors and Reviewers

Regularly Sync Your Fork/Branch:

Before starting new work or submitting a PR, git pull upstream main to get the latest changes into your local main branch, then rebase your feature branch on top of it.

Small, Focused Pull Requests:

Break down large features into smaller, atomic PRs.

Clear Titles and Descriptions:

Use a consistent format (e.g., "Feat: Add user profile page," "Fix: Resolve login bug"). Include context, what changed, why, and how to test. Link to related issues (e.g., "Closes #123").

Use Draft Pull Requests:

Contributors can open PRs as "Draft" and mark them "Ready for review" when complete. Draft PRs won't trigger required status checks or reviews.

Descriptive Commit Messages:

Add well-written commit messages (subject line + body for details).

Self-Review First:

Contributors should review their own PRs thoroughly before requesting reviews.

Responsive to Feedback:

Contributors should address comments and questions from reviewers promptly. If changes are requested, push new commits to the same branch; the PR will automatically update.
