**TL;DR much of the provided `Makefile` targets were broken, and any
time I wanted to preview changes locally I either had to refer to a
command Chester gave me or try waiting on a Vercel preview deployment.
With this PR, everything should behave like normal.**
Significant updates to the `Makefile` and documentation files, focusing
on improving usability, adding clear messaging, and fixing/enhancing
documentation workflows.
### Updates to `Makefile`:
#### Enhanced build and cleaning processes:
- Added informative messages (e.g., "📚 Building LangChain
documentation...") to makefile targets like `docs_build`, `docs_clean`,
and `api_docs_build` for better user feedback during execution.
- Introduced a `clean-cache` target to the `docs` `Makefile` to clear
cached dependencies and ensure clean builds.
#### Improved dependency handling:
- Modified `install-py-deps` to create a `.venv/deps_installed` marker,
preventing redundant/duplicate dependency installations and improving
efficiency.
#### Streamlined file generation and infrastructure setup:
- Added caching for the LangServe README download and parallelized
feature table generation
- Added user-friendly completion messages for targets like `copy-infra`
and `render`.
#### Documentation server updates:
- Enhanced the `start` target with messages indicating server start and
URL for local documentation viewing.
---
### Documentation Improvements:
#### Content clarity and consistency:
- Standardized section titles for consistency across documentation
files.

## Changes
- `/Makefile` - added extra step to `make format` and `make lint` to
ensure the lint dep-group is installed before running ruff (documented
in issue #30069)
- `/pyproject.toml` - removed ruff exceptions for files that no longer
exist or no longer create formatting/linting errors in ruff
## Testing
**running `make format` on this branch/PR**

These are set in Github workflows, but forgot to add them to most
makefiles for convenience when developing locally.
`uv run` will automatically sync the lock file. Because many of our
development dependencies are local installs, it will pick up version
changes and update the lock file. Passing `--frozen` or setting this
environment variable disables the behavior.
all template installs will now have to declare `--branch v0.2` to make
clear they aren't compatible with langchain 0.3 (most have a pydantic v1
setup). e.g.
```
langchain-cli app add pirate-speak --branch v0.2
```
Refactors the docs build in order to:
- run the same `make build` command in both vercel and local build
- incrementally build artifacts in 2 distinct steps, instead of building
all docs in-place (in vercel) or in a _dist dir (locally)
Highlights:
- introduces `make build` in order to build the docs
- collects and generates all files for the build in
`docs/build/intermediate`
- renders those jupyter notebook + markdown files into
`docs/build/outputs`
And now the outputs to host are in `docs/build/outputs`, which will need
a vercel settings change.
Todo:
- [ ] figure out how to point the right directory (right now deleting
and moving docs dir in vercel_build.sh isn't great)
## Summary
`ruff /path/to/file.py` works but is deprecated, and we now recommend
`ruff check /path/to/file.py` (to match `ruff format /path/to/file.py`).
**Description:** Update to the pathspec for 'git grep' in lint check in
the Makefile
**Issue:** The pathspec {docs/docs,templates,cookbook} is not handled
correctly leading to the error during 'make lint' -
"fatal: ambiguous argument '{docs/docs,templates,cookbook}': unknown
revision or path not in the working tree."

A few minor changes for contribution:
1) Updating link to say "Contributing" rather than "Developer's guide"
2) Minor changes after going through the contributing documentation
page.
The new ruff version fixed the blocking bugs, and I was able to fairly
easily us to a passing state: ruff fixed some issues on its own, I fixed
a handful by hand, and I added a list of narrowly-targeted exclusions
for files that are currently failing ruff rules that we probably should
look into eventually.
I went pretty lenient on the docs / cookbooks rules, allowing dead code
and such things. Perhaps in the future we may want to tighten the rules
further, but this is already a good set of checks that found real issues
and will prevent them going forward.
Best to review one commit at a time, since two of the commits are 100%
autogenerated changes from running `ruff format`:
- Install and use `ruff format` instead of black for code formatting.
- Output of `ruff format .` in the `langchain` package.
- Use `ruff format` in experimental package.
- Format changes in experimental package by `ruff format`.
- Manual formatting fixes to make `ruff .` pass.
Probably the most boring PR to review ;)
Individual commits might be easier to digest

**Description: a description of the change**
Fixed `make docs_build` and related scripts which caused errors. There
are several changes.
First, I made the build of the documentation and the API Reference into
two separate commands. This is because it takes less time to build. The
commands for documents are `make docs_build`, `make docs_clean`, and
`make docs_linkcheck`. The commands for API Reference are `make
api_docs_build`, `api_docs_clean`, and `api_docs_linkcheck`.
It looked like `docs/.local_build.sh` could be used to build the
documentation, so I used that. Since `.local_build.sh` was also building
API Rerefence internally, I removed that process. `.local_build.sh` also
added some Bash options to stop in error or so. Futher more added `cd
"${SCRIPT_DIR}"` at the beginning so that the script will work no matter
which directory it is executed in.
`docs/api_reference/api_reference.rst` is removed, because which is
generated by `docs/api_reference/create_api_rst.py`, and added it to
.gitignore.
Finally, the description of CONTRIBUTING.md was modified.
**Issue: the issue # it fixes (if applicable)**
https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/issues/6413
**Dependencies: any dependencies required for this change**
`nbdoc` was missing in group docs so it was added. I installed it with
the `poetry add --group docs nbdoc` command. I am concerned if any
modifications are needed to poetry.lock. I would greatly appreciate it
if you could pay close attention to this file during the review.

### Description:
This PR introduces a new option format_diff to the existing Makefile.
This option allows us to apply the formatting tools (Black and isort)
only to the changed Python and ipynb files since the last commit. This
will make our development process more efficient as we only format the
codes that we modify. Along with this change, comments were added to
make the Makefile more understandable and maintainable.
### Issue:
N/A
### Dependencies:
Add dependency to black.

It's helpful for developers to run the linter locally on just the
changed files.
This PR adds support for a `lint_diff` command.
Ruff is still run over the entire directory since it's very fast.
This makes it easy to run the tests locally. Some tests may not be able
to run in `Windows` environments, hence the need for a `Dockerfile`.
The new `Dockerfile` sets up a multi-stage build to install Poetry and
dependencies, and then copies the project code to a final image for
tests.
The `Makefile` has been updated to include a new 'docker_tests' target
that builds the Docker image and runs the `unit tests` inside a
container.
It would be beneficial to offer a local testing environment for
developers by enabling them to run a Docker image on their local
machines with the required dependencies, particularly for integration
tests. While this is not included in the current PR, it would be
straightforward to add in the future.
This pull request lacks documentation of the changes made at this
moment.
Follow-up of @hinthornw's PR:
- Migrate the Tool abstraction to a separate file (`BaseTool`).
- `Tool` implementation of `BaseTool` takes in function and coroutine to
more easily maintain backwards compatibility
- Add a Toolkit abstraction that can own the generation of tools around
a shared concept or state
