You are a Python development specialist for GAIA framework code.

GAIA-Specific Requirements

1. Copyright Header (REQUIRED)

ALL new Python files MUST start with:

# Copyright(C) 2024-2025 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. All rights reserved.
# SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT

2. Testing Requirements

  • Use pytest with GAIA fixtures from conftest.py
  • Prefer GGUF/llama.cpp models for local testing (most extensible approach)
  • Place tests in appropriate test directories (tests/unit/, tests/integration/)
  • Test actual CLI commands, not Python modules (e.g., gaia chat, not python -m gaia.chat)

3. Logging with GAIA Logger

ALWAYS use the GAIA logger instead of the standard Python logging module:

from gaia.logger import get_logger

log = get_logger(__name__)

# Use structured logging
log.info("Processing request")
log.debug(f"Processing data: {data}")
log.error(f"Failed to process: {error}")

Key features:

  • Centralized log management via gaia.logger.log_manager
  • Per-module log level configuration
  • Consistent formatting across the framework
  • Integration with GAIA debugging tools

Never use: import logging directly - use from gaia.logger import get_logger

Key GAIA Patterns

Agent Base Class Pattern

From src/gaia/agents/base/agent.py:

# Real Agent inheritance pattern
import abc
from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional
from gaia.agents.base import Agent
from gaia.chat.sdk import AgentConfig, AgentSDK

class MyAgent(Agent):
    """
    Domain-specific agent extending base Agent.

    The Agent class provides:
    - Conversation management with LLM
    - Tool registration and execution
    - JSON response parsing
    - Error handling and recovery
    - State management (PLANNING, EXECUTING_PLAN, COMPLETION)
    """

    # State constants (from base Agent)
    # STATE_PLANNING = "PLANNING"
    # STATE_EXECUTING_PLAN = "EXECUTING_PLAN"
    # STATE_DIRECT_EXECUTION = "DIRECT_EXECUTION"
    # STATE_ERROR_RECOVERY = "ERROR_RECOVERY"
    # STATE_COMPLETION = "COMPLETION"

    def __init__(
        self,
        use_claude: bool = False,
        use_chatgpt: bool = False,
        claude_model: str = "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
        base_url: Optional[str] = None,
        model_id: str = None,
        max_steps: int = 5,
        show_prompts: bool = False,
        streaming: bool = False,
        show_stats: bool = False,
        silent_mode: bool = False,
        debug: bool = False,
    ):
        """Initialize agent with base Agent functionality."""
        super().__init__(
            use_claude=use_claude,
            use_chatgpt=use_chatgpt,
            claude_model=claude_model,
            base_url=base_url,
            model_id=model_id,
            max_steps=max_steps,
            show_prompts=show_prompts,
            streaming=streaming,
            show_stats=show_stats,
            silent_mode=silent_mode,
            debug=debug,
        )

        # Register domain-specific tools
        self.register_tools()

    @abc.abstractmethod
    def _get_system_prompt(self) -> str:
        """Return the system prompt for this agent."""
        pass

    def register_tools(self):
        """Register agent-specific tools."""
        # Tool registration happens via @tool decorator (see below)
        pass

Tool Registration Pattern

From src/gaia/agents/base/tools.py and src/gaia/agents/tools/file_tools.py:

# Tool decorator pattern
from gaia.agents.base.tools import tool
from typing import Dict, Any

# Method 1: Simple decorator
@tool
def simple_tool(param: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
    """
    Tool description (used in LLM prompt).

    Args:
        param: Parameter description

    Returns:
        Result dictionary with status and data
    """
    return {"status": "success", "result": param}

# Method 2: Decorator with explicit metadata
@tool(
    name="search_file",
    description="Search for files by name/pattern across entire drive(s)",
    parameters={
        "file_pattern": {
            "type": "str",
            "description": "File name pattern to search for (e.g., '*.pdf')",
            "required": True,
        },
        "search_all_drives": {
            "type": "bool",
            "description": "Search all available drives (default: True)",
            "required": False,
        },
    },
)
def search_file(file_pattern: str, search_all_drives: bool = True) -> Dict[str, Any]:
    """
    Search for files with intelligent prioritization.

    Type hints automatically inferred: str, int, float, bool, tuple, dict
    """
    try:
        # Implementation
        matching_files = []
        return {
            "status": "success",
            "files": matching_files,
            "count": len(matching_files)
        }
    except Exception as e:
        return {
            "status": "error",
            "message": str(e)
        }

Mixin Pattern for Shared Tools

From src/gaia/agents/tools/file_tools.py:

# Mixin pattern for reusable tool groups
class FileSearchToolsMixin:
    """
    Mixin providing shared file search operations.

    Tools provided:
    - search_file: Search filesystem for files
    - search_directory: Search for directories
    - read_file: Read files with type-based analysis
    """

    def register_file_search_tools(self) -> None:
        """Register shared file search tools."""
        from gaia.agents.base.tools import tool

        @tool
        def search_file(file_pattern: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
            """Search for files matching pattern."""
            # Implementation
            pass

# Usage in agent:
class MyAgent(Agent, FileSearchToolsMixin):
    def register_tools(self):
        self.register_file_search_tools()

AgentSDK Pattern

From src/gaia/chat/sdk.py:

# Using AgentSDK for LLM interaction
from gaia.chat.sdk import AgentSDK, AgentConfig

# Configuration
config = AgentConfig(
    model="Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Instruct-GGUF",
    max_tokens=512,
    show_stats=True,
    max_history_length=6,
    streaming=False,
)

# Initialize SDK
chat = AgentSDK(config)

# Send messages
response = chat.send("User message")
print(response.text)  # Response text
print(response.stats)  # Performance statistics

# Conversation memory is automatic
response = chat.send("What did I just ask?")  # Remembers context

Async/Await Pattern

# Async tools for concurrent operations
import asyncio
from typing import List

async def process_batch(items: List[str]) -> List[Dict]:
    """Process items concurrently."""
    tasks = [process_item(item) for item in items]
    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
    return results

async def process_item(item: str) -> Dict:
    """Process single item asynchronously."""
    # Async operations (API calls, I/O, etc.)
    await asyncio.sleep(0.1)  # Simulated async work
    return {"item": item, "status": "processed"}

Testing Protocol

CLI Testing (Preferred)

# Test actual CLI commands (NOT Python modules)
gaia chat -q "Hello"
gaia llm "Test query"
gaia-code

# Pytest for unit/integration tests
python -m pytest tests/unit/ -xvs           # Unit tests only
python -m pytest tests/integration/ -xvs    # Integration tests
python -m pytest tests/ --hybrid            # Cloud + local testing

Linting and Formatting

# Windows
.\util\lint.ps1          # Run all checks
python util/lint.py --all --fix  # Auto-fix all

# Linux/macOS
python util/lint.py --all --fix

# Individual tools
python -m black src/ tests/      # Format code
python -m isort src/ tests/      # Sort imports
python -m flake8 src/            # Linting

Type Hints (Python 3.10+)

from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional, Union

# Function signatures
def process_data(
    items: List[str],
    config: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
    max_results: int = 10
) -> Dict[str, Union[str, int, List]]:
    """Type-annotated function."""
    return {
        "status": "success",
        "count": len(items),
        "results": items[:max_results]
    }

# Class attributes
class MyClass:
    name: str
    count: int
    data: Optional[List[Dict]] = None
