Issues

We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Please ensure your description is clear and has sufficient instructions to be able to reproduce the issue.

Meta has a bounty program for the safe disclosure of security bugs. In those cases, please go through the process outlined on that page and do not file a public issue.

Pre-commit Hooks

We use pre-commit to run linting and formatting checks on your code. You can install the pre-commit hooks by running:

$ cd llama-stack
$ conda activate <your-environment>
$ pip install pre-commit
$ pre-commit install

After that, pre-commit hooks will run automatically before each commit.

Common Tasks

Some tips about common tasks you work on while contributing to Llama Stack:

Using llama stack build

Building a stack image (conda / docker) will use the production version of the llama-stack, llama-models and llama-stack-client packages. If you are developing with a llama-stack repository checked out and need your code to be reflected in the stack image, set LLAMA_STACK_DIR and LLAMA_MODELS_DIR to the appropriate checked out directories when running any of the llama CLI commands.

Example:

$ cd work/
$ git clone https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-stack.git
$ git clone https://github.com/meta-llama/llama-models.git
$ cd llama-stack
$ LLAMA_STACK_DIR=$(pwd) LLAMA_MODELS_DIR=../llama-models llama stack build --template <...>

Updating Provider Configurations

If you have made changes to a provider's configuration in any form (introducing a new config key, or changing models, etc.), you should run python llama_stack/scripts/distro_codegen.py to re-generate various YAML files as well as the documentation. You should not change docs/source/.../distributions/ files manually as they are auto-generated.

Building the Documentation

If you are making changes to the documentation at https://llama-stack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/, you can use the following command to build the documentation and preview your changes. You will need Sphinx and the readthedocs theme.

cd llama-stack/docs
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install sphinx-autobuild

# This will start a local server (usually at http://127.0.0.1:8000) that automatically rebuilds and refreshes when you make changes to the documentation.
make html
sphinx-autobuild source build/html
