Lindy Hello World
Overview
Minimal working example demonstrating core Lindy AI agent functionality.
Prerequisites
- Completed
lindy-install-authsetup - Valid API credentials configured
- Development environment ready
Instructions
Step 1: Create Entry File
Create a new file for your hello world example.
Step 2: Import and Initialize Client
import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk';
const lindy = new Lindy({
apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY,
});
Step 3: Create Your First Agent
async function main() {
// Create a simple AI agent
const agent = await lindy.agents.create({
name: 'Hello World Agent',
description: 'My first Lindy agent',
instructions: 'You are a helpful assistant that greets users.',
});
console.log(`Created agent: ${agent.id}`);
// Run the agent with a simple task
const result = await lindy.agents.run(agent.id, {
input: 'Say hello to the world!',
});
console.log(`Agent response: ${result.output}`);
}
main().catch(console.error);
Output
- Working code file with Lindy client initialization
- Created AI agent in your Lindy workspace
- Console output showing:
Created agent: agt_abc123
Agent response: Hello, World! I'm your new Lindy AI assistant.
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Import Error | SDK not installed | Verify with npm list @lindy-ai/sdk |
| Auth Error | Invalid credentials | Check environment variable is set |
| Timeout | Network issues | Increase timeout or check connectivity |
| Rate Limit | Too many requests | Wait and retry with exponential backoff |
Examples
TypeScript Example
import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk';
const lindy = new Lindy({
apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY,
});
async function main() {
const agent = await lindy.agents.create({
name: 'Greeting Agent',
instructions: 'Greet users warmly and helpfully.',
});
const result = await lindy.agents.run(agent.id, {
input: 'Hello!',
});
console.log(result.output);
}
main().catch(console.error);
Python Example
from lindy import Lindy
client = Lindy()
agent = client.agents.create(
name="Greeting Agent",
instructions="Greet users warmly and helpfully."
)
result = client.agents.run(agent.id, input="Hello!")
print(result.output)

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".

It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
