lang:python ai:agent

Generate a Python function from a natural language description using Agentic Programming. The LLM writes the code, the framework validates and sandboxes it. Triggers: 'create a function', 'generate a function', 'write a function that', 'make a function', 'I need a function'.

From the source SKILL.md

Generate an @agentic_function from a description. If the task is purely deterministic (no LLM reasoning needed), a plain Python function is generated instead.

openprogram create "<DESCRIPTION>" --name <NAME>
