As of today, Arcade's toolkits are moving to closed-source.
Toolkit source code remains available upon request for our paying
customers. The history of this repository contains the toolkits as of
their most recent publication under their previous license terms.
### Overview
Major restructuring from monolithic `arcade-ai` package to modular
library architecture with standardized uv-based dependency management.

### New Package Structure
- **`arcade-tdk`** - Lightweight toolkit development kit (core
decorators, auth)
- **`arcade-core`** - Core execution engine and catalog functionality
- **`arcade-serve`** - FastAPI/MCP server components
- **`arcade-ai`** - Meta package that includes CLI functionality.
Optionally include evals via the `evals` extra. Optionally include all
packages via the `all` extra.
### Key Benefits
- **Lighter Dependencies**: Toolkits now depend only on `arcade-tdk` (~2
deps) vs full `arcade-ai` (~30+ deps)
- **Faster Builds**: uv provides 10-100x faster dependency resolution
and installation
- **Better Modularity**: Clear separation of concerns, consumers import
only what they need
- **Standard Tooling**: Eliminates custom poetry scripts, uses standard
Python packaging
### Migration Impact
- All 20 toolkits converted from poetry → uv with `arcade-tdk`
dependencies plus `arcade-ai[evals]` and `arcade-serve` dev
dependencies. When developing locally, devs should install toolkits via
`make install-local`.
- Modern Python 3.10+ type hints throughout
- Standardized build system with hatchling backend
- Enhanced Makefile with robust toolkit management commands
- Removed `arcade dev` CLI command
- Reduce the number of files created by `arcade new` and add an option
to not generate a tests and evals folder.
This foundation enables faster development cycles and cleaner dependency
chains for the growing toolkit ecosystem.
### Todo After this PR is merged
- [ ] Post-merge workflow(s) (release & publish containers, etc)
- [ ] Release order plan. @EricGustin suggests releasing in the
following order:
1. `arcade-core` version 0.1.0
2. `arcade-serve` version 0.1.0 and `arcade-tdk` version 0.1.0
3. `arcade-ai` version 2.0.0
4. Patch release for all toolkits (all changes in toolkits are internal
refactors)
- [ ] [Update docs](https://github.com/ArcadeAI/docs/pull/318)

Migrated all interfaces to get and return strings.
Added tests and evals for all functions (except the random generation)
Math functions are now organized into different math categories

# PR Description
* Adds/updates the following files to all toolkits:
- `.pre-commit-config.yaml`
- `.ruff.toml`
- `LICENSE`
- `Makefile`
- `pyproject.toml`
* Lint all toolkits such that they pass `make check` and `make test` (a
total doozy). This includes adding some unit tests and evals.
* Github workflow for testing toolkits before merge into main (courtesy
of @sdreyer)
* Added a QOL improvement for tool developers for when they need to get
the context's auth token.
* Minor updates to `arcade new` template.
This PR ensures that `arcade.core` does not show up anywhere in "user
space". This is crucial for helping developers understand what objects
are safe to use, and helps maintain a good developer experience.
Specific changes:
- `ToolAuthorizationContext` and `ToolContext` are now visible via
`arcade.sdk`
- `ToolCatalog` is now visible via `arcade.sdk`
- `Toolkit` is now visible via `arcade.sdk`
- `config` is now visible via `arcade.sdk.config`
On the last few PRs I have noticed two problems:
1. `ruff format` fails even though it seems OK on our local machines
(sometimes, not always)
2. Nate's and Sam's machines kept flip-flopping a specific piece of
formatting back and forth, indicating a subtle difference of config
hiding somewhere
3. This was reproducible by running `ruff format` in the terminal,
followed by `make check`. The former would edit files, and then `make
check` would edit them back!
This PR addresses both issues, and further standardizes our editor &
linter configs to be super stable.
Specifically:
1. The main fix for the above, the pre-commit hook was pinned to a super
old version of ruff.
This resulted in subtle differences in behavior between our machines,
and on CI.
2. Moved ruff settings from `pyproject.toml` to `.ruff.toml`
pyproject files in subdirectories (e.g. `toolkits/**`) were overriding
the main pyproject file and erasing the custom ruff config we set at the
root. This meant that our ruff config was applied to `arcade` but not to
any of the other packages.
By moving the config to `.ruff.toml` at the root, all projects will
inherit the same ruff linting & formatting config.
4. Un-ignored the `.vscode/` directory so that we can share
vscode/cursor workspace settings.
This is valuable for standardizing settings like the default formatter
(ruff) and default test framework (pytest).
However, it's important that going forward we _only_ commit things here
that should apply across all of our machines.
5. To avoid any conflict between prettier and ruff, prettier now
explicitly ignores *.py files
6. Finally, `ruff format` and `make check` agree. A number of files are
newly auto-formatted.
* Renamed `arcade_arithmetic` to `arcade_math`
* Deleted `arcade_github` toolkit for the next release. This will be
reintroduced later.
* Added 5 tools to `arcade_x` toolkit
- post_tweet
- delete_tweet_by_id
- search_recent_tweets_by_username
- search_recent_tweets_by_keywords
- lookup_single_user_by_username
