Agently Model Setup

Use this skill for provider wiring and transport setup before request logic is discussed.

Native-First Rules

• use Agently.set_settings(...) or agent.set_settings(...)
• prefer settings files with ${ENV.xxx} placeholders for base URL, model, and auth
• call Agently.set_settings(..., auto_load_env=True) when the settings payload may rely on .env
• if the app must fail fast, validate required env names in the integration layer before calling Agently
• keep provider setup outside business workflow logic and prompt files

Anti-Patterns

• do not hardcode provider-specific parsing into request code
• do not bake secrets or environment-specific endpoints into committed Python code when settings plus env placeholders fit
• do not mix model setup with output parsing or workflow design
