• include_cli_script: Whether to include a CLI script (y/n)
• cli_script_name: Name of CLI script if included

What Gets Generated

The template creates a complete lab package structure:

{package_name}/
├── agent_framework/
│   └── lab/
│       └── {package_name}/
│           └── __init__.py
├── agent_framework_lab_{package_name}/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── py.typed
├── tests/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── test_{package_name}.py
├── pyproject.toml
├── README.md
└── LICENSE

After Generation

1. Implement your functionality in agent_framework_lab_{package_name}/
2. Update the __all__ exports in __init__.py
3. Add your dependencies to pyproject.toml
4. Write comprehensive tests
5. Update the README with usage examples

Integration

Don't forget to add your new package to the workspace:

1. Add to python/pyproject.toml dependencies
2. Add to [tool.uv.sources] section
3. Test installation with uv run python -c "from agent_framework.lab.{name} import *"
