Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/cognitedata/dune-skills --skill setup-python-tools
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads setup-python-tools automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Set Up Python Tool Execution

Add client-side Python tool execution via Pyodide to this Dune app.

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Background

Atlas agents can have Python tools defined in their CDF config (type: "runPythonCode"). When the agent calls one, it arrives as a toolConfirmation (auto-allowed) followed by a clientTool action. The library fetches the tool's Python code from the agent config automatically and executes it via the provided pythonRuntime.

You only need to:

  1. Set up usePyodideRuntime to get a runtime instance
  2. Pass pythonRuntime to useAtlasChat

No PythonToolConfig entries — the library reads the code from the agent's CDF config.

The flow is:

  1. usePyodideRuntime loads Pyodide (~30MB, cached after first load), installs packages, and injects Cognite SDK credentials into the Python environment
  2. When the agent calls a Python tool, the library fetches its code from the agent's CDF config (cached per session), wraps it, executes it in Pyodide, and returns the result

Step 1 — Understand the app

Read these files before touching anything:

  • package.json — detect package manager and existing deps
  • The component that calls useAtlasChat — understand current tools/config

Step 2 — Install Pyodide

Install exactly pyodide@0.29.3 using the app's package manager. This version must match the CDN artifacts loaded at runtime — installing a different version will cause errors.

  • pnpm → pnpm add pyodide@0.29.3
  • npm → npm install pyodide@0.29.3
  • yarn → yarn add pyodide@0.29.3

Note: @cognite/dune-industrial-components, @sinclair/typebox, ajv, ajv-formats should already be installed. If not, install them too (see the integrate-atlas-chat skill).


Step 3 — Set up usePyodideRuntime

In the component that calls useAtlasChat, add the Pyodide runtime hook:

import { loadPyodide } from "pyodide";
import { usePyodideRuntime } from "@cognite/dune-industrial-components/atlas-agent/pyodide";
import { useAtlasChat } from "@cognite/dune-industrial-components/atlas-agent/react";

function MyChat() {
  const { sdk, isLoading } = useDune();

  // Initialize Python runtime (loads Pyodide, installs packages, sets up Cognite SDK)
  const {
    runtime: pythonRuntime,
    loading: pythonLoading,
    progress: pythonProgress,
    error: pythonError,
    isReady: pythonReady,
  } = usePyodideRuntime({
    loadPyodide,
    client: isLoading ? null : sdk,
    requirements: ["pandas", "numpy"],    // optional — additional packages
  });

  // ... useAtlasChat below
}

Hook API reference

Return fieldTypeDescription
runtimePythonRuntime | undefinedThe initialized runtime, or undefined if not ready
loadingbooleanTrue while Pyodide is loading / initializing
errorstring | nullError message if initialization failed
progress{ stage: string; percent: number }Current init progress for UI display
isReadybooleanConvenience: !loading && !error && runtime !== undefined

Loading state UI

Place the loading indicator above the chat input, not in the message list. Keep it compact — a pill/badge showing stage text and percent. Show an error badge separately. First load is ~30-60s (downloads ~30MB); subsequent loads are <2s from browser cache.

{/* Loading — shown above the input while Pyodide initializes */}
{pythonLoading && (
  <div className="flex items-center gap-2 rounded-lg border bg-muted/50 px-3 py-2 text-sm text-muted-foreground">
    {/* Optional: <IconBrandPython /> from @tabler/icons-react */}
    <span>{pythonProgress.stage || "Initializing Python..."}</span>
    {pythonProgress.percent > 0 && pythonProgress.percent < 100 && (
      <span className="text-xs opacity-70">({pythonProgress.percent}%)</span>
    )}
  </div>
)}

{/* Error — shown if init fails (after loading finishes) */}
{pythonError && !pythonLoading && (
  <div className="flex items-center gap-2 rounded-lg border border-destructive/30 bg-destructive/10 px-3 py-2 text-sm text-destructive">
    <span>Python runtime failed to load</span>
  </div>
)}

Step 4 — Wire into useAtlasChat

Pass the runtime to useAtlasChat. That's all — no tool configs needed:

const { messages, send, isStreaming, progress, error, reset, abort } = useAtlasChat({
  client: isLoading ? null : sdk,
  agentExternalId: "my-agent",
  tools: [renderTimeSeries],   // regular client tools (declared to agent), if any
  pythonRuntime,               // from usePyodideRuntime — enables Python tool execution
});

Note: Python tools are NOT declared to the agent via tools. The agent already knows about them from its CDF config. The library fetches the code automatically when needed.


Step 5 — Disable input while Python loads

The user shouldn't send messages before the runtime is ready. Disable the entire input area (not just the send button) so the state is unambiguous:

<ChatInput
  onSend={handleSend}
  disabled={isStreaming || pythonLoading}
  // ...
/>

If you have a home page with suggestion chips, disable those too:

<ChatHomePage
  onSuggestionClick={handleSuggestionClick}
  disabled={pythonLoading}
/>

Done

The app can now execute Python tools client-side via Pyodide. When the agent calls a Python tool, the library automatically fetches its code from the agent config, runs it in the browser, and returns the result to the agent.
