Authoring guide for Python user agents (type:"user") on the Friday platform via the friday-agent-sdk. Covers the @agent decorator, AgentContext capabilities (ctx.llm, ctx.http, ctx.tools, ctx.stream), structured input parsing, result types, and the NATS subprocess execution model. Load when an agent.py exists in scope, when imports from friday_agent_sdk are present, when an @agent decorator is being authored or modified, or when upsert_agent was just called with that decision belongs in the workspace-chat agent_types rules.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
<!-- This skill is vendored from the friday-agent-sdk repo. Edits should land upstream first; scripts/sync-sdk-skill.ts re-vendors for the pinned FRIDAY_AGENT_SDK_VERSION (see tools/friday-launcher/paths.go). --> # Writing Friday Python Agents Friday agents are single-file Python modules that the platform spawns as native subprocesses and communicates with via NATS.

What does the writing-friday-python-agents skill do?
Authoring guide for Python user agents (type:"user") on the Friday platform via the friday-agent-sdk. Covers the @agent decorator, AgentContext capabilities (ctx.llm, ctx.http, ctx.tools, ctx.stream), structured input parsing, result types, and the NATS subprocess execution model. Load when an agent.py exists in scope, when imports from friday_agent_sdk are present, when an @agent decorator is being authored or modified, or when upsert_agent was just called with that decision belongs in the workspace-chat agent_types rules.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add friday-platform/friday-studio --skill writing-friday-python-agents --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From friday-platform/friday-studio, a repository with 98 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
