# SDK

The `layerlens` PyPI package (v1.3.0) is the Python client SDK for Stratix. Install, set an API key, and you can do everything the Premium UI does — programmatically.

<table data-view="cards"><thead><tr><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>1. Install</strong></td><td>One pip command, three minutes.</td><td><a href="/pages/7fT17sglAgAHyPvSQ6Bi">Start</a></td></tr><tr><td><strong>2. First evaluation via SDK</strong></td><td>Run a benchmark evaluation from Python.</td><td><a href="/pages/VuGsPSSqiCN4lf4OAOGe">Start</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Why use the SDK

* **Automate.** CI/CD gates, scheduled trace evaluations, batch jobs.
* **Integrate.** Wire Stratix into your existing data pipeline.
* **Share recipes.** Sample programs across every major AI agent surface — copy, paste, ship.

## Samples for the AI agent ecosystem

Stratix ships first-class samples for the platforms your team is most likely already on:

## What's the SDK shape

```python
from layerlens import Stratix

client = Stratix() # picks up LAYERLENS_STRATIX_API_KEY from env

# 11 resource handlers
client.models # public model catalog
client.benchmarks # public benchmark catalog
client.evaluations # private evaluations
client.scorers # code graders
client.judges # LLM judges
client.judge_optimizations # GEPA runs
client.traces # trace ingest + browse
client.trace_evaluations # score traces
client.results # result browsing
client.public # public-only convenience namespace
client.errors # exception types
```

Every method has a sync and an async form. `client.evaluations.create(...)` and `client.evaluations.acreate(...)`.
