description: Generate and execute code for acting with Python tools. Activate when user explicitly requests to "use the codeact skill" or similar phrases.
Use Python tools to perform tasks.
You must use the `execute_ipython_cell` tool of the `ipybox` MCP server for executing Python code.
All operations must follow the tool usage restrictions and workflows defined below.
Tool Directories
The `gentools/` and `mcptools/` directories are in the **working directory** shown in your `<env>` block. All paths are relative to the working directory, NOT to this skill's base directory.
Tool Usage Restrictions
You are restricted to these tools only:
Python Tools
- Functions in `mcptools/<category>/<tool>.py` (use `run_parsed` if defined, otherwise `run`)
- Functions in `gentools/<category>/<tool>/api.py`
`ipybox` MCP Server Tools
- `execute_ipython_cell` - Execute Python code
- `reset` - Reset the IPython kernel
Claude Code Filesystem Tools
- All filesystem tools for reading, writing files, and listing directories.
Workflow
1. Python Tool Selection
1. List available categories in `gentools/` and `mcptools/` 2. List available tools in relevant categories 3. Read tool files to understand interfaces and parameters.
2. Python Tool Priority
1. Search `gentools` package first 2. If not found, search `mcptools` package 3. If no appropriate tool exists, generate custom code
3. Code Generation and Python Tool Chaining
- Generate code that uses selected Python tools as argument for `execute_ipython_cell`.
- Chain Python tools in the generated code if the structured output of one tool can be used as input for another tool.
4. Code Execution
- Use the `execute_ipython_cell` for Python code execution
- Print only required information, not intermediate results
- Store intermediate results in variables
Output Parsers
When generating output parsers for Python tools in the `mcptools` package, see [references/output-parsers.md](references/output-parsers.md).
Saving Code Actions
To save executed code as a reusable gentools tool, see [references/saving-codeacts.md](references/saving-codeacts.md).

Questions about codeact.
- Which coding agents can use codeact?
- codeact installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
