How to get a notebook displayed on the website

In the notebook metadata set the tags and description front_matter properties. For example:

{
    "...": "...",
    "metadata": {
        "...": "...",
        "front_matter": {
            "tags": ["code generation", "debugging"],
            "description": "Use conversable language learning model agents to solve tasks and provide automatic feedback through a comprehensive example of writing, executing, and debugging Python code to compare stock price changes."
        }
    }
}

Note: Notebook metadata can be edited by opening the notebook in a text editor (Or "Open With..." -> "Text Editor" in VSCode)

The tags field is a list of tags that will be used to categorize the notebook. The description field is a brief description of the notebook.

Best practices for authoring notebooks

The following points are best practices for authoring notebooks to ensure consistency and ease of use for the website.

The Colab button will be automatically generated on the website for all notebooks where it is missing. Going forward, it is recommended to not include the Colab button in the notebook itself.
Ensure the header is a h1 header, - #
Don't put anything between the yaml and the header

Consistency for installation and LLM config

You don't need to explain in depth how to install AutoGen. Unless there are specific instructions for the notebook just use the following markdown snippet:

````{=mdx}
:::info Requirements
Install `pyautogen`:
```bash
pip install pyautogen
```

For more information, please refer to the [installation guide](/docs/installation/).
:::
````

Or if extras are needed:

````{=mdx}
:::info Requirements
Some extra dependencies are needed for this notebook, which can be installed via pip:

```bash
pip install pyautogen[retrievechat] flaml[automl]
```

For more information, please refer to the [installation guide](/docs/installation/).
:::
````

When specifying the config list, to ensure consistency it is best to use approximately the following code:

import autogen

config_list = autogen.config_list_from_json(
    env_or_file="OAI_CONFIG_LIST",
)

Then after the code cell where this is used, include the following markdown snippet:

````{=mdx}
:::tip

Testing

Notebooks can be tested by running:

python website/process_notebooks.py test

This will automatically scan for all notebooks in the notebook/ and website/ dirs.

To test a specific notebook pass its path:

python website/process_notebooks.py test notebook/agentchat_logging.ipynb

Options:

--timeout - timeout for a single notebook
--exit-on-first-fail - stop executing further notebooks after the first one fails

Skip tests

If a notebook needs to be skipped then add to the notebook metadata:

{
    "...": "...",
    "metadata": {
        "skip_test": "REASON"
    }
}

Metadata fields

All possible metadata fields are as follows:

{
    "...": "...",
    "metadata": {
        "...": "...",
        "front_matter": {
            "tags": "List[str] - List of tags to categorize the notebook",
            "description": "str - Brief description of the notebook",
        },
        "skip_test": "str - Reason for skipping the test. If present, the notebook will be skipped during testing",
        "skip_render": "str - Reason for skipping rendering the notebook. If present, the notebook will be left out of the website.",
        "extra_files_to_copy": "List[str] - List of files to copy to the website. The paths are relative to the notebook directory",
    }
}
