What is it?

This repository holds the source code for the official Modal SDKs. The Python package is the main one: it lets you deploy serverless applications to Modal and interact with the platform from code, and it ships the `modal` command-line tool. The JavaScript/TypeScript and Go SDKs focus on using Modal Sandboxes, invoking deployed Modal Functions, and working with some platform resources.

The SDKs are aimed at developers who want to run workloads such as AI model inference, data processing or batch jobs on cloud infrastructure without managing servers. The Python package is installed with uv or pip, and the CLI can also be installed as a standalone tool.

The repository also provides an official skill for coding agents, which can be installed through the `modal` CLI or via `npx skills`.
