- Clarify that `refresh_data.py` should not be run in Codex/CI due to lack of internet access. - Emphasize the need for local data in `data/fred.db` before executing scripts. - Adjust descriptions for `startup.sh` and `Makefile` to reflect changes in usage and requirements.

# AGENTS.md — Guidance for OpenAI Codex
|
||
|
||
## Execution Commands
|
||
- **Always** invoke Python scripts via the startup wrapper, which installs dependencies globally and then runs your code under the system Python:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./startup.sh --offset <months> --end <YYYY-MM-DD> --extend-years <N>
|
||
````
|
||
|
||
* **Never** call `refresh_data.py` from within a Task Command. This environment has **no internet access**, so attempts to fetch external data will fail. Data in `data/fred.db` must already be present.
|
||
|
||
## Project Overview
|
||
|
||
This repository, **python\_charts**, provides a framework for fetching economic time series from FRED, storing them locally, and producing custom matplotlib charts with configurable parameters. The core components are:
|
||
|
||
* **`startup.sh`**: Single‐entrypoint script to install dependencies globally, ensure local data is present, and run specified commands under system Python.
|
||
* **`Makefile`**: Convenient high‐level targets (`install`, `data`, `plot`, `plot‐custom`, `test`, `clean`) that funnel through `startup.sh` for reproducible builds.
|
||
* **`scripts/refresh_data.py`**: Downloads UNRATE and DCOILWTICO series into `data/fred.db`—**only run in an internet-connected environment**, not in Codex/CI.
|
||
* **`scripts/lagged_oil_unrate_chart_styled.py`**: Generates the lagged oil vs. unemployment chart with fixed axes styling and log scale.
|
||
|
||
Future extensions will add additional custom chart scripts under `scripts/`, all driven by the same bootstrapping and command conventions.
|
||
|
||
## Usage Conventions
|
||
|
||
### Primary Commands
|
||
|
||
* **Bootstrap & default plot**:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./startup.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Installs/upgrades dependencies globally and runs the default lagged‐oil chart with an 18-month offset.
|
||
|
||
* **Custom plot**:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./startup.sh --offset 12 --end 2025-05-31 --extend-years 5
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* **Data refresh (offline environments)**:
|
||
|
||
* **Do not** run `refresh_data.py` in Codex/CI — data must already be in `data/fred.db`.
|
||
* To update data in an internet-connected shell, run:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
python scripts/refresh_data.py
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* **Run tests**:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./startup.sh pytest -q
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Argument Rules
|
||
|
||
* If the first token starts with `--`, it’s forwarded to the default chart script.
|
||
* If the first token names a `.py` script, it’s executed via `python <script>`.
|
||
* Otherwise, commands are executed directly (e.g., `pytest`, `flake8`).
|
||
|
||
## Coding Standards
|
||
|
||
* **Python**: Target version ≥ 3.8. Use type hints for all function signatures. Follow PEP8 with Black formatting.
|
||
* **Bash**: `startup.sh` uses `set -euo pipefail`.
|
||
* **Makefile**: Use tab-indented commands. All targets should funnel through `startup.sh`.
|
||
|
||
## Testing & Validation
|
||
|
||
* **Automated tests**: Add pytest modules under `tests/` following the pattern `test_*.py`.
|
||
* **Data mocking**: For new chart scripts, mock FRED downloads via monkeypatching `pandas_datareader.data.DataReader`.
|
||
|
||
## Extending with New Charts
|
||
|
||
1. **Create** `scripts/custom_chart.py`.
|
||
2. **Implement** a `main()` with `argparse` for `--start`, `--end`, `--offset`, etc.
|
||
3. **Invoke** via:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./startup.sh python scripts/custom_chart.py --your-args
|
||
```
|
||
4. **Optionally** add a Makefile target if desired.
|
||
|
||
## CI / Codex Integration
|
||
|
||
* **Setup Script** →
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
chmod +x startup.sh && ./startup.sh
|
||
```
|
||
* **Task Command** →
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./startup.sh --offset 18
|
||
```
