# Contributing to AgentOps Thanks for checking out AgentOps. We're building tools to help developers like you make AI agents that actually work reliably. If you've ever tried to build an agent system, you know the pain - they're a nightmare to debug, impossible to monitor, and when something goes wrong... good luck figuring out why. We created AgentOps to solve these headaches, and we'd love your help making it even better. Our SDK hooks into all the major Python frameworks (AG2, CrewAI, LangChain) and LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) to give you visibility into what your agents are actually doing. ## How You Can Help There are tons of ways to contribute, and we genuinely appreciate all of them: 1. **Add More Providers**: Help us support new LLM providers. Each one helps more developers monitor their agents. 2. **Improve Framework Support**: Using a framework we don't support yet? Help us add it! 3. **Make Docs Better**: Found our docs confusing? Help us fix them! Clear documentation makes everyone's life easier. 4. **Share Your Experience**: Using AgentOps? Let us know what's working and what isn't. Your feedback shapes our roadmap. Even if you're not ready to contribute code, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Drop into our Discord, open an issue, or start a discussion. We're building this for developers like you, so your input matters. ## Table of Contents - [Getting Started](#getting-started) - [Development Environment](#development-environment) - [Testing](#testing) - [Adding LLM Providers](#adding-llm-providers) - [Code Style](#code-style) - [Pull Request Process](#pull-request-process) - [Documentation](#documentation) ## Getting Started 1. **Fork and Clone**: First, fork the repository by clicking the 'Fork' button in the top right of the [AgentOps repository](https://github.com/AgentOps-AI/agentops). This creates your own copy of the repository where you can make changes. Then clone your fork: ```bash git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/agentops.git cd agentops ``` Add the upstream repository to stay in sync: ```bash git remote add upstream https://github.com/AgentOps-AI/agentops.git git fetch upstream ``` Before starting work on a new feature: ```bash git checkout main git pull upstream main git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name ``` 2. **Install Dependencies**: ```bash pip install -e . ``` 3. **Set Up Pre-commit Hooks**: ```bash pre-commit install ``` ## Development Environment 1. **Environment Variables**: Create a `.env` file: ``` AGENTOPS_API_KEY=your_api_key OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key # For testing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_key # For testing # Other keys... ``` 2. **Virtual Environment**: We recommend using `poetry` or `venv`: ```bash python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # Unix .\venv\Scripts\activate # Windows ``` 3. **Pre-commit Setup**: We use pre-commit hooks to automatically format and lint code. Set them up with: ```bash pip install pre-commit pre-commit install ``` That's it! The hooks will run automatically when you commit. To manually check all files: ```bash pre-commit run --all-files ``` ## Testing We use a comprehensive testing stack to ensure code quality and reliability. Our testing framework includes pytest and several specialized testing tools. ### Testing Dependencies Install all testing dependencies: ```bash pip install -e ".[dev]" ``` We use the following testing packages: - `pytest==7.4.0`: Core testing framework - `pytest-depends`: Manage test dependencies - `pytest-asyncio`: Test async code - `pytest-vcr`: Record and replay HTTP interactions - `pytest-mock`: Mocking functionality - `pyfakefs`: Mock filesystem operations - `requests_mock==1.11.0`: Mock HTTP requests ### Using Tox We use tox to automate and standardize testing. Tox: - Creates isolated virtual environments for testing - Tests against multiple Python versions (3.7-3.12) - Runs all test suites consistently - Ensures dependencies are correctly specified - Verifies the package installs correctly Run tox: ```bash tox ``` This will: 1. Create fresh virtual environments 2. Install dependencies 3. Run pytest with our test suite 4. Generate coverage reports ### Running Tests 1. **Run All Tests**: ```bash tox ``` 2. **Run Specific Test File**: ```bash pytest tests/llms/test_anthropic.py -v ``` 3. **Run with Coverage**: ```bash coverage run -m pytest coverage report ``` ### Writing Tests 1. **Test Structure**: ```python import pytest from pytest_mock import MockerFixture from unittest.mock import Mock, patch @pytest.mark.asyncio # For async tests async def test_async_function(): # Test implementation @pytest.mark.depends(on=['test_prerequisite']) # Declare test dependencies def test_dependent_function(): # Test implementation ``` 2. **Recording HTTP Interactions**: ```python @pytest.mark.vcr() # Records HTTP interactions def test_api_call(): response = client.make_request() assert response.status_code == 200 ``` 3. **Mocking Filesystem**: ```python def test_file_operations(fs): # fs fixture provided by pyfakefs fs.create_file('/fake/file.txt', contents='test') assert os.path.exists('/fake/file.txt') ``` 4. **Mocking HTTP Requests**: ```python def test_http_client(requests_mock): requests_mock.get('http://api.example.com', json={'key': 'value'}) response = make_request() assert response.json()['key'] == 'value' ``` ### Testing Best Practices 1. **Test Categories**: - Unit tests: Test individual components - Integration tests: Test component interactions - End-to-end tests: Test complete workflows - Performance tests: Test response times and resource usage 2. **Fixtures**: Create reusable test fixtures in `conftest.py`: ```python @pytest.fixture def mock_llm_client(): client = Mock() client.chat.completions.create.return_value = Mock() return client ``` 3. **Test Data**: - Store test data in `tests/data/` - Use meaningful test data names - Document data format and purpose 4. **VCR Cassettes**: - Store in `tests/cassettes/` - Sanitize sensitive information - Update cassettes when API changes ### CI Testing Strategy We use Jupyter notebooks as integration tests for LLM providers. This approach: - Tests real-world usage patterns - Verifies end-to-end functionality - Ensures examples stay up-to-date - Tests against actual LLM APIs 1. **Notebook Tests**: - Located in `examples/` directory - Each LLM provider has example notebooks - CI runs notebooks on PR merges to main - Tests run against multiple Python versions 2. **Test Workflow**: The `test-notebooks.yml` workflow: ```yaml name: Test Notebooks on: pull_request: paths: - "agentops/**" - "examples/**" - "tests/**" ``` - Runs on PR merges and manual triggers - Sets up environment with provider API keys - Installs AgentOps from main branch - Executes each notebook - Excludes specific notebooks that require manual testing 3. **Provider Coverage**: Each provider should have notebooks demonstrating: - Basic completion calls - Streaming responses - Async operations (if supported) - Error handling - Tool usage (if applicable) 4. **Adding Provider Tests**: - Create notebook in `examples/provider_name/` - Include all provider functionality - Add necessary secrets to GitHub Actions - Update `exclude_notebooks` in workflow if manual testing needed ## Adding LLM Providers The `agentops/llms/` directory contains provider implementations. Each provider must: 1. **Inherit from BaseProvider**: ```python @singleton class NewProvider(BaseProvider): def __init__(self, client): super().__init__(client) self._provider_name = "ProviderName" ``` 2. **Implement Required Methods**: - `handle_response()`: Process LLM responses - `override()`: Patch the provider's methods - `undo_override()`: Restore original methods 3. **Handle Events**: Track: - Prompts and completions - Token usage - Timestamps - Errors - Tool usage (if applicable) 4. **Example Implementation Structure**: ```python def handle_response(self, response, kwargs, init_timestamp, session=None): llm_event = LLMEvent(init_timestamp=init_timestamp, params=kwargs) try: # Process response llm_event.returns = response.model_dump() llm_event.prompt = kwargs["messages"] # ... additional processing self._safe_record(session, llm_event) except Exception as e: self._safe_record(session, ErrorEvent(trigger_event=llm_event, exception=e)) ``` ## Code Style 1. **Formatting**: - Use Black for Python code formatting - Maximum line length: 88 characters - Use type hints 2. **Documentation**: - Docstrings for all public methods - Clear inline comments - Update relevant documentation 3. **Error Handling**: - Use specific exception types - Log errors with meaningful messages - Include context in error messages ## Pull Request Process 1. **Branch Naming**: - `feature/description` - `fix/description` - `docs/description` 2. **Commit Messages**: - Clear and descriptive - Reference issues when applicable 3. **PR Requirements**: - Pass all tests - Maintain or improve code coverage - Include relevant documentation - Update CHANGELOG.md if applicable 4. **Review Process**: - At least one approval required - Address all review comments - Maintain PR scope ## Documentation 1. **Types of Documentation**: - API reference - Integration guides - Examples - Troubleshooting guides 2. **Documentation Location**: - Code documentation in docstrings - User guides in `docs/` - Examples in `examples/` 3. **Documentation Style**: - Clear and concise - Include code examples - Explain the why, not just the what ## Getting Help & Community We encourage active community participation and are here to help! ### Preferred Communication Channels 1. **GitHub Issues & Discussions**: - Open an [issue](https://github.com/AgentOps-AI/agentops/issues) for: - Bug reports - Feature requests - Documentation improvements - Start a [discussion](https://github.com/AgentOps-AI/agentops/discussions) for: - Questions about usage - Ideas for new features - Community showcase - General feedback 2. **Discord Community**: - Join our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/FagdcwwXRR) for: - Real-time help - Community discussions - Feature announcements - Sharing your projects 3. **Contact Form**: - For private inquiries, use our [contact form](https://agentops.ai/contact) - Please note that public channels are preferred for technical discussions ## License By contributing to AgentOps, you agree that your contributions will be licensed under the MIT License.
