BossNet AI Agent Toolkit

BossNet AI Agent Toolkit is a Python library for building AI-powered agents. It provides a comprehensive set of tools and utilities for building, training, and deploying AI agents. BossKit is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing users to easily add new features and functionality to their agents.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11 or higher
• Git
• pip (Python package manager)

Using pip

To install BossKit using pip:

pip install bosskit

From Source

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/boss-net/ai-masterclass.git
cd ai-masterclass

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Install in development mode:

pip install -e .

Getting Started

Basic Usage

To create a new AI agent project:

bosskit init my_agent

This will create a new project structure with:

• Basic configuration files
• Example agent implementation
• Testing setup

Configuration

BossKit uses environment variables for configuration. Create a .env file based on the .env.example template:

cp .env.example .env

Edit the .env file to configure your agent's behavior:

• AGENT_NAME: Name of your AI agent
• MODEL_PATH: Path to your AI model
• API_KEY: API key for external services (if needed)

Running Your Agent

To run your AI agent:

bosskit run

Or with specific configuration:

bosskit run --config path/to/config.yaml

Features

• Modular agent architecture
• Built-in support for popular AI models
• Easy configuration management
• Built-in monitoring and logging
• Extensible plugin system
• Development tools and utilities

Development

Setting up Development Environment

1. Install development dependencies:

2. Fork the repository

3. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b feature/amazing-feature)

4. Set up development environment:

   # Install pre-commit hooks
   pip install pre-commit
   pre-commit install
   
   # Install development dependencies
   pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
   

5. Make your changes and ensure they follow our code style:

   • Use type hints for all public functions and classes
   • Follow PEP 8 style guidelines
   • Write clear docstrings using Google style
   • Keep lines under 88 characters
   • Use descriptive variable names

6. Run tests and checks:

   # Run all tests
   pytest
   
   # Run type checking
   mypy .
   
   # Run linting
   flake8 .
   

7. Commit your changes with a descriptive message

8. Push to the branch (git push origin feature/amazing-feature)

9. Open a Pull Request

Code Style Guidelines

• Use type hints for all public interfaces
• Follow Google-style docstrings:

  def function_name(param: type) -> return_type:
      """Brief description.
  
      Args:
          param: Description of the parameter
  
      Returns:
          Description of the return value
      """
  

• Use descriptive variable names
• Keep functions focused and single-purpose
• Use context managers for file operations
• Handle exceptions appropriately
• Write unit tests for new functionality

Type Hints

All public functions and classes should have proper type hints. For example:

from typing import List, Optional, Dict

def process_data(
    data: List[str],
    config: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None
) -> List[str]:
    """Process input data with optional configuration.

    Args:
        data: List of input strings to process
        config: Optional configuration dictionary

    Returns:
        Processed data as list of strings
    """
    pass

Error Handling

• Use specific exceptions rather than bare except clauses
• Provide clear error messages
• Use context managers for resource cleanup
• Handle common error cases gracefully

Testing

• Write unit tests for new functionality
• Use pytest fixtures for test setup
• Mock external dependencies
• Test error conditions
• Keep tests focused and isolated

Documentation

• Update relevant documentation when making changes
• Keep README.md up-to-date
• Document new features and breaking changes
• Include usage examples where applicable

Git Workflow

• Use feature branches for new development
• Keep commits focused and atomic
• Write descriptive commit messages
• Rebase before merging
• Use conventional commit messages:
  • feat: for new features
  • fix: for bug fixes
  • docs: for documentation changes
  • style: for formatting changes
  • refactor: for code refactoring
  • test: for adding missing tests
  • chore: for maintenance tasks

Security

• Never commit sensitive information
• Use environment variables for configuration
• Handle API keys securely
• Follow security best practices
• Regularly update dependencies
