## What This Is

A fork of the [ML Intern](https://hf.co/spaces/smolagents/ml-intern) architecture — an autonomous AI agent that researches, writes code, and ships projects using the Hugging Face ecosystem.

**Key capabilities:**
- 🔬 **Research** — Search papers, datasets, models, and documentation
- 💻 **Code** — Write, test, and execute Python scripts in sandboxes
- 🚀 **Deploy** — Launch training jobs, manage repos, push to Hub
- 📚 **Learn** — Read documentation and GitHub repos to understand APIs

## Architecture

```
User (Web UI / CLI)
    ↕
FastAPI Backend (SSE events)
    ↕
Agent Loop (LiteLLM + tool router)
    ↕
Tools: HF docs | Papers | Datasets | GitHub | Jobs | Sandbox | MCP
```

**Stack:**
- **Frontend:** React + Vite + TypeScript
- **Backend:** FastAPI + SSE streaming
- **Agent:** LiteLLM (multi-provider) + custom tool system
- **Tools:** Hugging Face APIs, GitHub, sandbox execution, MCP servers

## Quick Start

### Local CLI

```bash
git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/ScottzillaSystems/ml-intern-custom
cd ml-intern-custom

# Install dependencies (requires Python 3.11+, uv)
uv sync

# Run interactive mode
python -m agent.main

# Or headless
python -m agent.main "your task here"
```

### Environment Variables

Create `.env`:
```bash
# Required
HF_TOKEN=hf_...                    # Hugging Face token

# Optional - for non-HF-router models
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...       # Claude models
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...              # OpenAI models
GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_...               # GitHub code search
```

### Web UI

The Space runs the web UI automatically. For local dev:
```bash
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev   # Vite dev server
cd backend && python main.py                 # FastAPI backend
```

## Customization Guide

### 1. Change the Model

Edit `configs/frontend_agent_config.json` or `configs/cli_agent_config.json`:

```json
{
  "model_name": "moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6",
  "mcpServers": { ... }
}
```

**Available models via HF Router (free tier):**
- `moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6`
- `MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7`
- `zai-org/GLM-5.1`

**Or any LiteLLM-compatible model:**
- `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`
- `openai/gpt-4o`
- `google/gemini-2.5-pro`

### 2. Add/Remove Tools

Edit `agent/core/tools.py`:

```python
def create_builtin_tools(local_mode=False):
    tools = [
        # Your custom tools here
        ToolSpec(name="my_tool", ...),
        # ... existing tools
    ]
    return tools
```

### 3. Add MCP Servers

Edit `configs/frontend_agent_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-server": {
      "transport": "http",
      "url": "https://my-mcp-server.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${MY_TOKEN}" }
    }
  }
}
```

### 4. Customize System Prompt

Edit `agent/prompts/system_prompt.yaml` to change the agent's personality and instructions.

### 5. Change Branding

- Frontend: Edit `frontend/src/theme.ts` for colors
- Frontend: Edit `frontend/src/components/WelcomeScreen/WelcomeScreen.tsx` for welcome text
- Backend: Edit `backend/main.py` for API metadata
