FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap an existing AI agent with Prefactor CLI before instrumentation?

To bootstrap an existing agent, run the Prefactor CLI to provision environment, agent, and agent_instance IDs. This pre-setup validates configuration resolution and outputs the required environment variables for seamless SDK instrumentation.

Can I use Prefactor bootstrap with LangChain, AI SDK, or custom agent providers?

Prefactor bootstrap supports multiple providers including LangChain, AI SDK, OpenClaw, or custom setups. The provider-agnostic guidance helps you select the appropriate SDK package and share the created IDs and environment variables for integration.

What environment variables and IDs do I need to instrument an existing agent with Prefactor?

Instrumenting an existing agent requires environment, agent, and agent_instance IDs created during the CLI bootstrap sequence. The bootstrap process validates configuration and outputs these IDs alongside the required environment variables for your selected SDK package.

Why do I need to run Prefactor CLI bootstrap before adding agent instrumentation?

Running Prefactor CLI bootstrap before instrumentation creates the necessary environment, agent, and agent_instance resources. This pre-setup ensures configuration resolution is validated and enables a seamless handoff to SDK instrumentation with the correct IDs and environment variables.

Does Prefactor bootstrap require any dependencies or components to provision agent resources?

Prefactor bootstrap requires the @prefactor/cli package to run bootstrap commands for provisioning agent resources. The Skill itself lists no additional dependencies or components, relying on the CLI to validate configuration and generate the required environment variables.

What is the best way to set up Prefactor environment variables for an existing custom agent?

The best way to set up Prefactor environment variables is running the CLI bootstrap sequence to create environment, agent, and agent_instance resources. This validates configuration resolution and outputs the necessary variables for your custom provider's SDK instrumentation.
