# Agenta

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install Agenta SDK
pip install agenta

# Start Agenta locally with Docker
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -p 8000:8000 ghcr.io/agenta-ai/agenta

# Or use pip for just the SDK
pip install agenta

# Initialize project
agenta init --app-name my-llm-app
```

## When to Use This Skill

**USE when:**
- Managing multiple versions of prompts in production
- Need systematic A/B testing of prompt variations
- Evaluating prompt quality with automated metrics
- Collaborating on prompt development across teams
- Requiring audit trails for prompt changes
- Building LLM applications that need to iterate quickly
- Need to compare different models with same prompts
- Want a playground for rapid prompt experimentation
- Self-hosting is required for security/compliance

**DON'T USE when:**
- Simple single-prompt applications
- No need for prompt versioning or testing
- Already using another prompt management system
- Rapid prototyping without evaluation needs
- Cost-sensitive projects (evaluation adds API calls)

## Prerequisites

```bash
# SDK installation
pip install agenta>=0.10.0

# For self-hosted deployment
docker pull ghcr.io/agenta-ai/agenta

# Or with docker-compose
git clone https://github.com/Agenta-AI/agenta
cd agenta
docker-compose up -d

# Environment setup
export AGENTA_HOST="http://localhost:3000"
export AGENTA_API_KEY="your-api-key"  # If using cloud version

# For LLM providers
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
```
### Verify Installation

```python
import agenta as ag
from agenta import Agenta

# Initialize client
client = Agenta()

# Check connection
print(f"Agenta SDK version: {ag.__version__}")
print("Connection successful!")
```
