# HuggingFace Smolagents Minimalist Code Agents

Implements HuggingFace smolagents (CodeAgent, ToolCallingAgent): expressing agent actions directly as executable Python code snippets, simplifying complex loops and data transformations.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- create smolagents codeagent
- run python action agent
- use duckduckgo tool smolagents

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Initialize agents using agent = CodeAgent(tools=[...], model=HfApiModel()).
2. Write custom tools as standard Python functions decorated with @tool.
3. Review generated Python code in sandboxed execution environments to maintain security.
4. Inspect execution logs and tool call outputs using agent.run(prompt).

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
