agentsop-code-execution-decision
From the author
Decision rubric for when an LM agent should write-and-run code (Program-of-Thought / code interpreter) versus reason in natural language: classify each step as deterministic- computable (emit + execute code, feed the result back) vs judgment (stay in prose). Use when designing or debugging an agent step that does arithmetic/parsing/data transforms, when prose reasoning hallucinates a computation (under-coding), or when a sandbox round- trip is wasted on a judgment task (over-coding). Search keywords: code interpreter, agent does math wrong, calculator hallucination, when to run code vs reason, program of thought, PoT, tool vs reasoning.

- agentsop-module-shape-selectionagentsope/SkillAlchemyENHANCE overlay on [[dspy]] — the upfront rubric for choosing a reasoning SHAPE (Predict / ChainOfThought / ReAct / ProgramOfThought) BEFORE you write a prompt or pick an optimizer. The local `dspy` skill lists the modules but never surfaces the *selection criterion*: reasoning shape is chosen by task structure, not by reflexively defaulting to CoT. Activate every time a new LM-calling node/step is added to a pipeline. Do NOT activate for one-shot prompts, optimizer/teleprompter choice (that is the dspy SOP's job), or non-LM control flow. Search keywords: chain of thought vs ReAct, when to use CoT, reasoning type, ReAct vs CoT vs PoT, which dspy module, predict vs chain of thought.Writing★ 445
- agentsop-structured-output-pickeragentsope/SkillAlchemyDecide where to enforce structured LM output (constrain at decode time with Outlines vs validate-and-retry with Instructor vs grammar with Guidance) and which failure stance to take (Assert/hard-fail vs Suggest/soft-retry). Use when an LM's output is parsed or typed by downstream code and you must pick one enforcement library plus its failure handling, when malformed output is burning tokens on retries, or when choosing between decode-time vs validation-time constraints for local vs API models.Engineering★ 445
- agentsop-output-format-by-modelagentsope/SkillAlchemyPick an LM output format per (task x consumer x model) rather than by reflex: different formats carry different cognitive load (e.g. code-in-JSON makes the same model write worse code than plain-text+diff, while asking for prose when you need a typed object fails the other way). Use when designing or debugging an LM's output schema, choosing between plain text / diff / JSON / tool-call / grammar-constrained output, or when a model's quality drops after wrapping its output in a structured format.Writing★ 445
- agent-operated-workflowsmvschwarz/openrigUse when a bounded real-world procedure has a deterministic happy path but brownfield, variable, or partially knowable state; when an operation must resume from verified evidence; or when deciding whether agent judgment or ordinary code should own a procedure's control loop.Engineering★ 8.1K
- agentsop-llm-engine-selectionagentsope/SkillAlchemyCross-engine decision rubric for self-hosting or recommending an LLM serving stack. Picks among vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, TGI, llama.cpp, Ollama, and MLX as a function of (hardware × workload × constraint), not "which is fastest". Activates whenever a coder-agent must choose, defend, or migrate a serving runtime.Other★ 445
- agentsop-streaming-outputagentsope/SkillAlchemyEnhancement-overlay decision protocol for STREAMING the output of long-running LLM / agent runs from the *backend*, not just wiring a typing animation in the UI. Activates when a coder agent must stream final tokens to a chat client, surface intermediate agent steps (which tool, which node, partial reasoning), emit custom tool-progress events, choose a transport (SSE vs WebSocket), or decide what to do when the client disconnects mid-stream. The langchain / langgraph skills mention stream modes but stop at "you can stream"; this skill encodes *what to stream, over what transport, and how to fail safely*.Design★ 445
