marimo

ll packages (marimo records these actions in the associated notebook, which is just a Python file). The agent can even manipulate marimo's user interface — for fun, try asking your agent to greet you from within a pair session. The agent effects all actions by running Python code in the marimo kernel. Under the hood, the marimo pair skill explains how to discover and create marimo sessions, and how to control them using a semi-private interface we call code mode. Code mode lets models treat marimo as a REPL that extends their context windows, similar to recursive language models (RLMs). But unlike traditional REPLs, the marimo "REPL" incrementally builds a reproducible Python program, because marimo notebooks are dataflow graphs with well-defined execution semantics. As it uses code mode, the agent is kept on track by marimo's guardrails, which include the elimination of hidden state: run a cell and dependent cells are run automatically, delete a cell and its variables are scrubbed from memory. By giving models full control over a stateful reactive programming environment, rather than a collection of ephemeral scripts, marimo pair makes agents active participants in research and data work. In our early experimentation [4], we've found that marimo pair accelerates data exploration, makes it easy to steer agents while testing research hypotheses, and can serve as a backend for RLMs, yielding a notebook as an executable trace of how the model answered a query. We even use marimo pair to find and fix bugs in itself and marimo [5]. In these examples the notebook is not only a computational substrate but also a canvas for collaboration between humans and agents, and an executable, literate artifact comprised of prose, code, and visuals. marimo pair is early and experimental. We would love your thoughts.
