Scaffold a minimal local LangChain agent in Python by following the official quickstart. Use when the user wants to quickly build or try a LangChain agent locally.

Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Follow the live docs — do not invent an alternate API from memory:
https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langchain/quickstart
Fetch that page (Docs MCP or HTTP) and implement what it shows (weather agent + create_agent).
Apply these on top of the quickstart (they keep setup minimal and model-agnostic):
Ask which provider/model to use. Showcase that LangChain is model-agnostic. Suggested prompt:
Which model should this agent use? Pass a
provider:modelstring — e.g.openai:gpt-5.5,anthropic:claude-sonnet-5,google_genai:gemini-2.5-flash-lite. Default if you're unsure:anthropic:claude-sonnet-5.
Swap the quickstart's model string for their choice (or the default).
Create a new directory (e.g. langchain-agent/) and do all work there — do not pollute the open project.
Only secret: the provider API key in .env (gitignored). No LangSmith / Tavily unless they ask. Prefer they edit .env themselves — don't paste keys into chat.
Install the provider package needed for their model if the quickstart's base install isn't enough.
Run the example, show output, then stop. Point to langchain-fundamentals for next steps.
development
Inspect an agent repository and optional traces, interview the user, write reviewed Task Specs, build and audit Harbor tasks, and bootstrap reusable project World Knowledge Skills. Use for agent evals, benchmark design, Task generation, controlled Environments, synthetic data, Verifiers, Harbor runs, calibration, or continuous benchmark maintenance.
tools
INVOKE THIS SKILL when building, testing, or deploying Managed Deep Agents in LangSmith with the mda CLI. Walks a user through their first agent end to end — interviewing them about what they want to build, mapping it onto what MDA can actually do, then scaffolding and deploying it. Covers the file-based project layout; define_deep_agent / defineDeepAgent; instructions, skills, memory, identity, tools, middleware, sandboxes, schedules, channels, and evals; mda init/build/dev/deploy/logs/delete; and Context Hub.
testing
Iteratively inspect traces, interview the user, and create LangSmith online evaluators one at a time. Use specifically for creating online evaluators for use within LangSmith -- use "eval-engineering" for Harbor-style online evaluations.
development
Scaffold a minimal local LangGraph agent in TypeScript by following the official quickstart. Use when the user wants to quickly build or try a LangGraph agent locally.
