Python Scratchpad

Python Scratchpad

Use this skill when the task benefits from a short Python script instead of pure reasoning.

This skill is especially useful for:

• arithmetic and unit conversions
• validating regexes or parsing logic
• transforming JSON, CSV, or small text payloads
• checking assumptions with a small reproducible script

Requirements:

• The agent should have access to execute_code.

Workflow:

1. If the task needs computation or a repeatable transformation, activate this skill.
2. If you need examples, call read_skill_file for references/examples.md.
3. Write a short Python script for the exact task.
4. Prefer execute_code.
5. Use the script output in the final answer.
6. Keep scripts small and task-specific.

Rules:

1. Prefer standard library Python.
2. Print only the values you need.
3. Do not invent outputs without running the script.
4. If execute_code is not available, say exactly: No Python execution tool is configured for this agent.
5. Do not claim there is a generic execution-environment problem unless a tool call actually returned such an error.

Expected behavior:

• Explain the result briefly after using the script.
• Include the computed value or transformed output in the final answer.
