| 144 | + |
| 145 | +--- |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +### Common Workflows |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +**1. Creating a New Agent:** |
| 150 | +```bash |
| 151 | +# Step 1: Initialize project |
| 152 | +uv run uipath init |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +# Step 2: Run agent to test |
| 155 | +uv run uipath run main.py '{"input": "test"}' |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +# Step 3: Evaluate agent performance |
| 158 | +uv run uipath eval |
| 159 | +``` |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +**2. Development & Testing:** |
| 162 | +```bash |
| 163 | +# Run with debugging |
| 164 | +uv run uipath run main.py '{"input": "test"}' --debug |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +# Test with input file |
| 167 | +uv run uipath run main.py --file test_input.json --output-file test_output.json |
| 168 | +``` |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +**3. Schema Updates:** |
| 171 | +```bash |
| 172 | +# After modifying Input/Output models, regenerate schema |
| 173 | +uv run uipath init --infer-bindings |
| 174 | +``` |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +### Configuration File (uipath.json) |
| 177 | + |
| 178 | +The `uipath.json` file is automatically generated by `uipath init` and defines your agent's schema and bindings. |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +**Structure:** |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +```json |
| 183 | +{ |
| 184 | + "entryPoints": [ |
| 185 | + { |
| 186 | + "filePath": "agent", |
| 187 | + "uniqueId": "uuid-here", |
| 188 | + "type": "agent", |
| 189 | + "input": { |
| 190 | + "type": "object", |
| 191 | + "properties": { ... }, |
| 192 | + "description": "Input schema", |
| 193 | + "required": [ ... ] |
| 194 | + }, |
| 195 | + "output": { |
| 196 | + "type": "object", |
| 197 | + "properties": { ... }, |
| 198 | + "description": "Output schema", |
| 199 | + "required": [ ... ] |
| 200 | + } |
| 201 | + } |
| 202 | + ], |
| 203 | + "bindings": { |
| 204 | + "version": "2.0", |
| 205 | + "resources": [] |
| 206 | + } |
| 207 | +} |
| 208 | +``` |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +**When to Update:** |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | +1. **After Modifying Input/Output Models**: Run `uv run uipath init --infer-bindings` to regenerate schemas |
| 213 | +2. **Changing Entry Point**: Update `filePath` if you rename or move your main file |
| 214 | +3. **Manual Schema Adjustments**: Edit `input.jsonSchema` or `output.jsonSchema` directly if needed |
| 215 | +4. **Bindings Updates**: The `bindings` section maps the exported graph variable - update if you rename your graph |
| 216 | + |
| 217 | +**Important Notes:** |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +- The `uniqueId` should remain constant for the same agent |
| 220 | +- Always use `type: "agent"` for LangGraph agents |
| 221 | +- The `jsonSchema` must match your Pydantic models exactly |
| 222 | +- Re-run `uipath init --infer-bindings` instead of manual edits when possible |
