Check CLAUDE.md files if they exist - **Root `/CLAUDE.md`**: Review Act overview and Casts table - **Cast `/casts/{cast_slug}/CLAUDE.md`**: Review cast-specific dependencies and tech stack 2. Proceed with operation below ## Operations | Task | Resource | |------|----------| | Create new cast(package) | `resources/create-cast.md` | | Add act(monorepo) dependency | `resources/add-dep-act.md` | | Add cast(package) dependency | `resources/add-dep-cast.md` | | Sync environment | `resources/sync.md` | ## Quick Reference ```bash # 1. Check CLAUDE.md files (if exist) # Root /CLAUDE.md: Review existing Casts in table # Cast /casts/{cast_slug}/CLAUDE.md: Check Technology Stack section # 2. Create cast uv run act cast -c "My Cast" # 3. Add dependencies (refer to cast's CLAUDE.md Technology Stack) uv add langchain-openai # Monorepo (production) uv add --dev pytest-mock # Monorepo (dev) uv add --package my_cast langchain-openai # Cast package # 4. Sync uv sync --all-packages # Development uv sync --all-packages --no-dev # Production # 5. LangGraph server uv run langgraph dev uv run langgraph dev --tunnel # Non-Chrome browsers ``` ## Dependency Groups | Group | Flag | Contents | |-------|------|----------| | dev | `--dev` | act-operator + test + lint | | test | `--group test` | pytest, langgraph-cli[inmem] | | lint | `--group lint` | pre-commit, ruff |
