Lindy Local Dev Loop
Overview
Configure efficient local development workflow for Lindy AI agent development.
Prerequisites
- Completed
lindy-install-authsetup - Node.js 18+ with npm/pnpm
- Code editor with TypeScript support
Instructions
Step 1: Set Up Project Structure
mkdir lindy-agents && cd lindy-agents
npm init -y
npm install @lindy-ai/sdk typescript ts-node dotenv
npm install -D @types/node nodemon
Step 2: Configure TypeScript
// tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "ES2022",
"module": "NodeNext",
"moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
"outDir": "./dist",
"strict": true,
"esModuleInterop": true
},
"include": ["src/**/*"]
}
Step 3: Create Development Script
// package.json scripts
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "nodemon --exec ts-node src/index.ts",
"build": "tsc",
"start": "node dist/index.js",
"test:agent": "ts-node src/test-agent.ts"
}
}
Step 4: Create Agent Test Harness
// src/test-agent.ts
import 'dotenv/config';
import { Lindy } from '@lindy-ai/sdk';
const lindy = new Lindy({ apiKey: process.env.LINDY_API_KEY });
async function testAgent(agentId: string, input: string) {
console.log(`Testing agent ${agentId} with: "${input}"`);
const start = Date.now();
const result = await lindy.agents.run(agentId, { input });
console.log(`Response (${Date.now() - start}ms): ${result.output}`);
return result;
}
// Run test
testAgent(process.argv[2], process.argv[3] || 'Hello!');
Output
- Configured development environment
- Hot reload enabled for agent code
- Test harness for rapid iteration
- TypeScript support with type checking
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| ts-node not found | Dev deps missing | npm install -D ts-node |
| ENV not loaded | dotenv not configured | Add import 'dotenv/config' |
| Type errors | Missing types | npm install -D @types/node |
Examples
Watch Mode Development
# Start development with hot reload
npm run dev
# Test specific agent
npm run test:agent agt_abc123 "Test input"
Environment Setup
# .env file
LINDY_API_KEY=your-api-key
LINDY_ENVIRONMENT=development

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".
building-neural-networks: This skill allows Claude to construct and configure neural network architectures using the neural-network-builder plugin. 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").
