ollama-python SKILL.md skillB

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

ollama-python from vecnode/vn-code is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

The `ollama` Python package used properly - chat and generate with streaming, embeddings, tool calling, structured outputs with a JSON Schema, the async client, keep_alive, timeouts and cancellation - and a project shape whose benchmark arithmetic is unit-tested against a fake transport while the live half skips loudly when no daemon answers.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Ollama from Python

`pip install ollama` is the official client: a thin wrapper over the REST API in
this pack's `ollama-api` skill, with pydantic response models. It ships a sync
`Client`, an `AsyncClient`, and module-level helpers that use a default client.

Every example below is self-contained: it reads `OLLAMA_HOST` itself, so it can
be copied out of this page on its own.

## Connect without hardcoding a host

The daemon is on `127.0.0.1:11434` by default, but a person may have moved it.
Read the environment, do not bake the address into the code:

```python
import os

from ollama import Client

HOST = os.environ.get("OLLAMA_HOST", "http://127.0.0.1:11434")
client = Client(host=HOST)
print(client.list().models)
```

`OLLAMA_HOST` may arrive as `host:port` without a scheme, because the daemon
accepts that spelling for its BIND address. Normalise it before a client uses
it, or an error message will read `host:port` and look like a hostname:

```python
import os

def daemon_url() -> str:
    raw = os.environ.get("OLLAMA_HOST", "127.0.0.1:11434").strip()
    if "://" not in raw:
        raw = "http://" + raw
    return raw.rstrip("/")
```

## One prompt, one conversation

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vecnode/vn-code/ollama-python@sha256:871595920f1ad783

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.54965a1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
