AgentScope Code Review Guide

You should conduct a strict code review. Each requirement is labeled with priority:

• [MUST] must be satisfied or PR will be rejected
• [SHOULD] strongly recommended
• [MAY] optional suggestion

1. Code Quality

[MUST] Lazy Loading

• Third-party library dependencies should be imported at the point of use, avoid centralized imports at file top
  • The Third-party library refers to libraries not included in the dependencies variable in pyproject.toml.
• For base class imports, use factory pattern:

def get_xxx_cls() -> "MyClass":
    from xxx import BaseClass
    class MyClass(BaseClass): ...
    return MyClass

[SHOULD] Code Conciseness

After understanding the code intent, check if it can be optimized:

• Avoid unnecessary temporary variables
• Merge duplicate code blocks
• Prioritize reusing existing utility functions

[MUST] Encapsulation Standards

• All Python files under src/agentscope should be named with _ prefix, and exposure controlled through __init__.py
• Classes and functions used internally by the framework that don't need to be exposed to users must be named with _ prefix

2. [MUST] Code Security

• Prohibit hardcoding API keys/tokens/passwords
• Use environment variables or configuration files for management
• Check for debug information and temporary credentials
• Check for injection attack risks (SQL/command/code injection, etc.)

3. [MUST] Testing & Dependencies

• New features must include unit tests
• New dependencies need to be added to the corresponding section in pyproject.toml
• Dependencies for non-core scenarios should not be added to the minimal dependency list
• Test assertions MUST compare the entire data structure rather than asserting individual fields, so reviewers can quickly understand the test intent. For random or non-deterministic fields, use AnyString and AnyValue from tests/utils.py for matching

4. Code Standards

[MUST] Comment Standards

• Use English
• All classes/methods must have complete docstrings, strictly following the template:

def func(a: str, b: int | None = None) -> str:
    """{description}

    Args:
        a (`str`):
            The argument a
        b (`int | None`, optional):
            The argument b

    Returns:
        `str`:
            The return str
    """

• Use reStructuredText syntax for special content:

class MyClass:
    """xxx

    `Example link <https://xxx>`_

    .. note:: Example note

    .. tip:: Example tip

    .. important:: Example important info

    .. code-block:: python

        def hello_world():
            print("Hello world!")

    """
