Adding New Features

1. Create new module:

sand-framework/
└── agents/
    └── new_feature/
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── service.py
        └── models.py

1. Update API routes:

# api_gateway/routes/new_feature.py
from fastapi import APIRouter

router = APIRouter(prefix="/api/v1/new-feature")

@router.post("/")
async def handle_new_feature():
    pass

1. Add tests:

# tests/unit/test_new_feature.py
def test_new_feature():
    pass

Code Style

We follow these conventions:

• PEP 8 for Python code

• Black for code formatting

• Type hints for function signatures

• Docstrings for all public APIs

Use pre-commit hooks to maintain code quality:
