This guide covers the full lifecycle of building, running, and serving a custom OpenBB Workspace application from an extension project scaffolded by openbb-cookiecutter. It assumes the project shell already exists (see the developextension skill for scaffolding instructions).
This is a complete guide for creating a new OpenBB Platform extension from scratch. Follow every phase in order. When the user says "build me an application that does X", use this guide to scaffold, implement, install, and verify the extension.
This guide explains how to call tools, interpret responses, discover capabilities, use prompts, and handle errors when interacting with an OpenBB MCP server.

Snapshot the computational environment for a replication package — detects the analysis stack (R / Stata / Python) and emits the right lockfiles (renv.lock + sessionInfo.txt, requirements.txt / environment.yml / uv.lock, Stata version + ado package list), records seeds and RNG kind, optionally writes a pinning…
