Ax Rust Playbook

Ax Playbook For Rust

This skill helps an agent write Rust code with the generated Ax package axllm. Use the generated package API, examples, and manifests; do not import TypeScript-only APIs unless you are editing the TypeScript package.

When To Use

• Grow an evolving context playbook for a program or agent stage with playbook().
• Attach a seed playbook to an agent and learn bounded avoidance rules from run-end failure signals.
• Use the agent-bound playbook evolve method to mine grounded weaknesses with verification and exact rollback.
• Refine a playbook online from live feedback or offline from labeled examples.
• Render or persist a playbook and inject it into a program context.

Package Facts

• Language: Rust.
• Package: axllm.
• Package API docs: API.md and axir-api.json.
• Capability manifest: axir-capabilities.json.
• Runnable examples: examples/.
• Real network support: yes.
• Scripted no-key transport support: yes.
• Runtime profiles: javascript-quickjs.

Core Pattern

let program = axllm::ax("question:string -> answer:string")?;
let student = Rc::new(RefCell::new(llm));
let mut pb = axllm::playbook(program, student, None::<Rc<RefCell<OpenAICompatibleClient>>>, json!({}));
pb.evolve(&examples, &mut metric_fn, &json!({}))?;

• Optimizers: optimize, playbook, AxPlaybook, AxBootstrapFewShot, AxGEPA, OptimizerEngine, OptimizerEvaluator

Guardrails

• Start from package examples for exact native syntax before inventing a new call shape.
• Use provider-api examples only when the user explicitly has provider credentials available.
• Use no-key examples for deterministic local checks and provider request mapping.
• Treat AxIR as the source of generated package truth: if package docs disagree with source code, update the compiler and regenerate packages.
• Do not copy repo-maintainer skills from tools/*/skills/ into user packages.
