Config Skills for LlamaFarm

Specialized patterns and best practices for the LlamaFarm configuration module (config/).

Module Overview

The config module provides YAML/TOML/JSON configuration loading with JSONSchema validation:

Links to Shared Skills

This module follows Python conventions from the shared skills:

Framework-Specific Checklists

Tech Stack

• Python: 3.11+
• Pydantic: v2 with ConfigDict, Field, constrained types
• JSONSchema: Draft-07 with $ref dereferencing via jsonref
• YAML: ruamel.yaml for comment-preserving read/write
• Code Generation: datamodel-codegen for schema-to-Pydantic

Key Patterns

Generated Pydantic Models

The datamodel.py file is auto-generated from JSONSchema:

# Generated by datamodel-codegen from schema.deref.yaml
from pydantic import BaseModel, ConfigDict, Field, conint, constr

class Database(BaseModel):
    model_config = ConfigDict(extra="forbid")
    name: constr(pattern=r"^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$", min_length=1, max_length=50)
    type: Type
    config: dict[str, Any] | None = Field(None, description="Database-specific configuration")

Custom Validators for Cross-Field Constraints

JSONSchema draft-07 cannot express all constraints. Custom validators extend validation:

def validate_llamafarm_config(config_dict: dict[str, Any]) -> None:
    """Validate constraints beyond JSONSchema (uniqueness, references)."""
    # Check for duplicate prompt names
    prompt_names = [p.get("name") for p in config_dict.get("prompts", [])]
    duplicates = [name for name in prompt_names if prompt_names.count(name) > 1]
    if duplicates:
        raise ValueError(f"Duplicate prompt set names: {', '.join(set(duplicates))}")

Comment-Preserving YAML with ruamel.yaml

Configuration files preserve user comments when modified:

from ruamel.yaml import YAML
from ruamel.yaml.comments import CommentedMap

def _get_ruamel_yaml() -> YAML:
    yaml_instance = YAML()
    yaml_instance.preserve_quotes = True
    yaml_instance.indent(mapping=2, sequence=4, offset=2)
    return yaml_instance

Workflow: Schema Changes

When modifying the configuration schema:

1. Edit schema.yaml (or referenced schemas like ../rag/schema.yaml)
2. Run nx run generate-types to compile and generate types
3. Update validators.py if new cross-field constraints are needed
4. Test with uv run pytest config/tests/

Common Commands

# Generate types from schema
nx run generate-types

# Validate a config file
uv run python config/validate_config.py path/to/llamafarm.yaml --verbose

# Run tests
uv run pytest config/tests/ -v

# Lint and format
ruff check config/ --fix
ruff format config/
