Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Async REPL Protocol
19 charsno explicit “when” trigger
Beginner

Key capabilities

  • Enforce await usage for async tools
  • Standardize code block responses
  • Support async REPL testing

How it works

The protocol mandates the use of await for future-returning tools and requires all logic to be contained within a single code block.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Async code snippet
You get back
Validated single-block code execution

When to use async-repl-protocol

  • Writing tests for agent tools
  • Debugging async function calls
  • Executing code in REPL harnesses

About this skill

Async REPL Protocol

When working with Agentica's async REPL harness for testing.

Rules

1. Use await for Future-returning tools

content = await view_file(path)  # NOT view_file(path)
answer = await ask_memory("...")

2. Single code block per response

Compute AND return in ONE block. Multiple blocks means only first executes.

# GOOD: Single block
content = await view_file(path)
return any(c.isdigit() for c in content)

# BAD: Split blocks (second block never runs)
content = await view_file(path)

When not to use it

  • Synchronous code execution environments

Prerequisites

Agentica async REPL harness

Limitations

  • Only supports single code block responses

How it compares

It prevents execution errors common in multi-block async REPL environments.
