Build production-quality ReAct agents that use tools to solve complex multi-step tasks with reasoning, acting, and error handling.
| Input | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| signature | str | Task signature (e.g., "question -> answer") |
| tools | list[callable] | Available tools/functions |
| max_iters | int | Max reasoning steps (default: 20) |

Tools are Python functions with clear docstrings. The agent uses docstrings to understand tool capabilities:
import dspy
def search(query: str) -> list[str]:
"""Search knowledge base for relevant information.
Args:
query: Search query string
Returns:
List of relevant text passages
"""
retriever = dspy.ColBERTv2(url='http://20.102.90.50:2017/wiki17_abstracts')
results = retriever(query, k=3)
return [r['text'] for r in results]
def calculate(expression: str) -> float:
"""Safely evaluate mathematical expressions.
Args:
expression: Math expression (e.g., "2 + 2", "sqrt(16)")
Returns:
Numerical result
"""

ReAct agents benefit from reflective optimization:
from dspy.evaluate import Evaluate
def feedback_metric(example, pred, trace=None, pred_name=None, pred_trace=None):
"""Provide textual feedback for GEPA."""
is_correct = example.answer.lower() in pred.answer.lower()
score = 1.0 if is_correct else 0.0
feedback = "Correct." if is_correct else f"Expected '{example.answer}'. Check tool selection."
return dspy.Prediction(score=score, feedback=feedback)
# Optimize agent
optimizer = dspy.GEPA(
metric=feedback_metric,
reflection_lm=dspy.LM("openai/gpt-4o"),
auto="medium"
)
compiled = optimizer.compile(agent, trainset=trainset)
compiled.save("research_agent_optimized.json", save_program=False)
max_iters to prevent infinite loops (default is 20, but 5-10 often sufficient for simpler tasks)Guide for creating high-quality MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. Use when building MCP servers to integrate external APIs or services, whether in Python (FastMCP) or Node/TypeScript (MCP SDK).
Automatically creates user-facing changelogs from git commits by analyzing commit history, categorizing changes, and transforming technical commits into clear, customer-friendly release notes. Turns hours of manual changelog writing into minutes of automated generation.
Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup

React Native and Expo best practices for building performant mobile apps. Use when building React Native components, optimizing list performance, implementing animations, or working with native modules. Triggers on tasks involving React Native, Expo, mobile performance, or native platform APIs.
React and Next.js performance optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering. This skill should be used when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React/Next.js code to ensure optimal performance patterns. Triggers on tasks involving React components, Next.js pages, data fetching, bundle optimization, or performance improvements.
Next.js best practices - file conventions, RSC boundaries, data patterns, async APIs, metadata, error handling, route handlers, image/font optimization, bundling
Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - creates isolated git worktrees with smart directory selection and safety verification
