Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
This skill provides documentation and examples for developing Python applications with Genkit. It includes standard developer practices such as environment variable persistence in shell profiles and the installation of well-known third-party tools. It also outlines an evaluation framework that presents a surface for indirect prompt injection from external datasets.

What does this agent skill do?

Genkit Python

Prerequisites

Runtime: Python 3.14+, uv for deps (install).
CLI: genkit --version — install via npm install -g genkit-cli if missing.

New projects: Setup (bootstrap + env). Patterns and code samples: Examples.

Hello World

from genkit import Genkit
from genkit.plugins.google_genai import GoogleAI

ai = Genkit(
    plugins=[GoogleAI()],
    model='googleai/gemini-flash-latest',
)

async def main():
    response = await ai.generate(prompt='Tell me a joke about Python.')
    print(response.text)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    ai.run_main(main())

Critical: Do Not Trust Internal Knowledge

The Python SDK changes often — verify imports and APIs against the references here or upstream docs. On any error, read Common Errors first.

Development Workflow

Default provider: Google AI (GoogleAI()), GEMINI_API_KEY in the environment.
Model IDs: always prefixed, e.g. googleai/gemini-flash-latest (always-on-latest Flash alias; same pattern as other skills).
Entrypoint: ai.run_main(main()) for Genkit-driven apps (not asyncio.run() for long-lived servers started with genkit start — see Common Errors).
After generating code, follow Dev Workflow for genkit start and the Dev UI.
On errors: step 1 is always Common Errors.

References

Examples: Structured output, streaming, flows, tools, embeddings.
Setup: New project bootstrap and plugins.
Common Errors: Read first when something breaks.
FastAPI: HTTP, genkit_fastapi_handler, parallel flows.
Dotprompt: .prompt files and helpers.
Evals: Evaluators and datasets.
Dev Workflow: genkit start, Dev UI, checklist.
