PufferLib

PufferLib 强化学习环境的版本感知指南,涵盖向量化、策略、PuffeRL 训练、评估和安全的检查点审查。适用于将 Gymnasium/PettingZoo 环境适配到已发布的 PufferLib 3.0.0,或使用重新设计的原生 4.0 源码。

PufferLib 是什么?

PufferLib 技能是一个精确的版本感知指南,专为使用 PufferLib 进行强化学习项目的开发者设计。它解决了上游存在的两个不兼容接口(已发布的 PyPI 3.0.0 和原生源码 4.0)之间的核心矛盾,确保用户不会错误地混合使用不同版本的导入、配置和 CLI 命令。该技能严格规定了安全的工作流,包括对合成、基于 CPU、无网络工具的使用、禁止任意环境导入、以及强制要求检查点哈希验证和沙盒执行。它提供了详细的脚本(如环境验证、向量化基准测试、训练计划生成器)和参考文献,以帮助开发者安全地适应、向量化、训练和评估环境。通过提供清晰、可重复的流程,该技能降低了使用 PufferLib 的风险,并适用于 PyPI 的 3.0.0 稳定版本和源码的 4.0 开发分支。

PufferLib 是做什么的?

使用 PufferLib 时需明确指定版本配置。上游当前存在两个不兼容的接口:

配置2026-07-23 状态主要用途
pufferlib==3.0.0最新稳定的 PyPI 版本,发布于 2025-06-23Python/Gymnasium/PettingZoo 模拟,pufferlib.vector,Torch PuffeRL
源码 4.0上游默认分支;非最新的稳定 PyPI 构件原生 C Ocean 环境,原生 CUDA 训练器,可选的 Torch 回退

不要将 3.0 的导入与 4.0 的配置/CLI 示例混合使用。4.0 的重设计已从当前包树中移除了 3.0 的 emulation、vector 和 pytorch 模块。

安全默认值

  1. 从捆绑的合成、仅 CPU、无网络工具开始。
  2. 不要通过点分路径导入任意环境。捆绑工具只接受白名单内置程序和 slug 标识符。
  3. 不要安装或执行未经审查的环境包、原生扩展、ROM、地图、检查点或 pickle 文件。
  4. 验证官方源码、不可变修订版本、许可证、校验和或证明,以及构建钩子。对原生构建和首次执行进行沙箱化。
  5. 限制步骤数、环境数、智能体数、工作者数、线程数、缓冲区、内存、磁盘、渲染尺寸和运行时间。
  6. 保持训练和评估环境/种子分离。
  7. 默认将日志记录设置为本地/无。外部日志记录需要明确选择加入、披露确认和单独的上传批准。
  8. 切勿通过 CLI、INI、JSON、标签、运行名称或记录器配置传递 W&B 或 Neptune 凭据。切勿打印它们。
  9. 切勿转储所有环境变量或递归搜索 .env 文件。
  10. 在可信的沙箱化加载之前,先对检查点字节进行哈希处理;元数据检查并非安全证明。

本地初步检查

所有捆绑的 CLI 都无依赖,并输出严格的 JSON:

python3 scripts/env_template.py --help
python3 scripts/env_contract_validator.py
python3 scripts/benchmark_vectorization.py --backend serial
python3 scripts/train_template.py
python3 scripts/validate_plan.py
python3 scripts/repro_plan.py

默认值是合成、确定性、有界、本地、仅 CPU、无网络,并且在可能进行训练的情况下进行空运行。

安装与溯源

已发布的 3.0.0

PyPI 仅提供 pufferlib-3.0.0.tar.gz:

sha256: 7df3a3e3f5f894d78d2a1f5374097890aec01473183e748abefe4f3faa10eaa9
Requires-Python: >=3.9

在审查源码/构建后,创建一个锁定的 uv 项目:

uv venv --python 3.11
uv add --exact --no-sync "pufferlib==3.0.0"
uv lock
uv sync --frozen

提交 pyproject.toml 和 uv.lock;验证存档摘要和每个已解析的依赖项。源码构建可以编译原生代码并获取构建资产,因此在没有凭据或敏感挂载的沙箱中解析/构建。上传的元数据未锁定 Torch 或 CUDA;不要声明 PyPI 未声明的受支持 CUDA 矩阵。

当前 4.0 源码

2026-07-23 审查的分支头为:

25647630e1b15330bb3153a5a0d3ff8d234c3acf

锁定提交,而不是分支 4.0:

uv add --no-sync \
  "pufferlib @ git+https://github.com/PufferAI/PufferLib.git@25647630e1b15330bb3153a5a0d3ff8d234c3acf"
uv lock

当前包声明 Python >=3.10 和 Torch >=2.9。上游 PufferTank 当前使用 Ubuntu 24.04、Python 3.12 和具有 cu130 Torch 索引的 NVIDIA CUDA 13.0.2/cuDNN 开发镜像,但未锁定确切的 Torch 轮子或所有系统包。将其视为参考,而不是完整的锁定。切勿直接从管道执行远程安装程序。

在任何安装或构建之前,请阅读 references/training.md。

环境工作流

1. 验证合约

Gymnasium 的 reset 返回 (observation, info)。step 返回:

(observation, reward, terminated, truncated, info)

验证空间、形状、数据类型、有限奖励、布尔值、重置前步进、结束后重置、种子设定和清理。terminated 是 MDP 终端;truncated 是外部截断,例如时间限制。保留此区别以用于自举和指标。

python3 scripts/env_contract_validator.py \
  --steps 64 --episodes 8 --seed 42

2. 仅在审查后适配

已发布的 3.0 使用显式包装器:

import pufferlib.emulation

wrapped = pufferlib.emulation.GymnasiumPufferEnv(reviewed_gymnasium_instance)

对于审查过的 PettingZoo Parallel 环境:

wrapped = pufferlib.emulation.PettingZooPufferEnv(reviewed_parallel_instance)

没有与旧技能匹配的支持的 3.0 pufferlib.emulate(...) 快捷方式。阅读 references/environments.md 和 references/integration.md。

3. 原生环境

已发布的 3.0 PufferEnv 需要 single_observation_space、single_action_space 和 num_agents,然后调用 super().__init__(buf)。它使用就地向量缓冲区,并返回单独的终止/截断数组以及一个 info 字典列表。

当前 4.0 使用 C 绑定。从上游的 ocean/squared(单智能体)或 ocean/target(多智能体)开始,在本地/清理模式下构建一个环境,并在优化前验证每个缓冲区的大小/类型/索引。

向量化工作流

已发布的 3.0:

import pufferlib.vector

vecenv = pufferlib.vector.make(
    reviewed_creator,
    backend=pufferlib.vector.Serial,
    num_envs=4,
    seed=42,
)

仅在串行跟踪通过后,再切换到 Multiprocessing。记录 num_envs、num_workers、batch_size、零拷贝模式、启动方法、智能体数量、掩码和实际返回的形状。对于多智能体环境,批量长度基于智能体槽位,不一定是 num_envs。

当前 4.0 配置改为使用:

[vec]
total_agents = 4096
num_buffers = 2
num_threads = 16

阅读 references/vectorization.md。使用预热和至少三次重复对固定工作进行基准测试;分别报告模拟和端到端的训练 SPS。捆绑的基准测试仅测量其合成平台。

策略工作流

已发布的 3.0 策略是基于 single_observation_space/single_action_space 大小的 Torch 模块。稳定的循环组合使用 encode_observations 和 decode_actions;结构化的模拟使用 pufferlib.pytorch.nativize_dtype 和 nativize_tensor。

当前 4.0 的 Torch 回退组合方式:

pufferlib.models.Policy(encoder=encoder, decoder=decoder, network=network)

它提供 MLP、MinGRU、LSTM 和 GRU 网络选择;--slowly 选择此回退而不是原生后端。检查输出/状态形状、掩码、有限值、梯度和即时编译与编译行为。参见 references/policies.md。

训练与评估

已发布的 3.0 训练器导入:

from pufferlib import pufferl

trainer = pufferl.PuffeRL(train_config, vecenv, policy)

当前 4.0 CLI:

puffer train ENV_NAME
puffer eval ENV_NAME --load-model-path EXACT_TRUSTED_PATH
puffer sweep ENV_NAME

默认情况下生成计划而不是启动:

python3 scripts/train_template.py \
  --profile pypi-3.0.0 \
  --environment synthetic \
  --device cpu \
  --total-timesteps 10000

验证自定义的严格 JSON 计划:

python3 scripts/validate_plan.py --root . --config plan.json

该模式拒绝包含密钥的键、无限制资源、点分环境路径、无效的向量整除性、混合版本选项以及耦合的训练/评估种子。参见 references/training.md。

日志记录

PufferLib 3.0 暴露了 W&B 和 Neptune;当前 4.0 CLI 暴露了 W&B。两者都是可选的外部服务。它们可能传输配置、指标、源码元数据、硬件遥测、输出和批准的构件,并具有隐私、保留、访问控制和成本影响。

  • W&B 凭据:命名环境变量 WANDB_API_KEY。
  • Neptune 凭据:命名环境变量 NEPTUNE_API_TOKEN。
  • 切勿将值放在参数/配置/日志中。
  • 在记录前清理配置键。
  • 除非明确批准,否则保持源码/模型上传关闭。

规划器需要两者:

python3 scripts/train_template.py \
  --logger wandb \
  --enable-external-logging \
  --acknowledge-external-disclosure

它只报告所需的变量名称,从不读取其值。

检查点工作流

PufferLib 3.0 和 4.0 Torch 回退使用 Torch 序列化;当前原生 4.0 写入不透明的 .bin 权重。PyTorch 警告不信任的模型是程序,并且 torch.load 使用反 pickle。

python3 scripts/inspect_checkpoint.py checkpoint.pt \
  --root . \
  --expected-sha256 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef

检查器仅进行哈希和分类。它不调用 torch.load、导入 pickle/Torch、检查归档成员或提取文件。在任何沙箱化加载之前,验证源码、许可证、架构、环境修订版本、配套元数据和校验和。切勿在可重复评估中使用 latest。

biopython

Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.

bioservices

Unified Python interface to 40+ bioinformatics services. Use when querying multiple databases (UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, Reactome) in a single workflow with consistent API. Best for cross-database analysis, ID mapping across services. For quick single-database lookups use gget; for sequence/file manipulation use biopython.

bulk-rnaseq

End-to-end bulk RNA-seq orchestrator — takes raw FASTQ reads through QC and trimming (FastQC, fastp/Trim Galore), alignment and quantification (STAR, Salmon, featureCounts), assembles a gene-level counts matrix, then hands off to differential expression (pydeseq2), pathway/GSEA enrichment (pathway-enrichment), and publication figures (scientific-visualization). Use whenever the user has bulk RNA-seq reads or quant output and wants a complete, reproducible differential-expression workflow — e.g.

cellxgene-census

Query the CZ CELLxGENE Census programmatically for versioned public single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data. Use when you need population-scale cell metadata, gene expression slices, Census summary counts, source H5AD URIs/downloads, embeddings, spatial Census data, or reference atlas comparisons across organisms, tissues, diseases, assays, and cell types. For analyzing your own local single-cell data use scanpy, anndata, or scvi-tools.

cirq

Google quantum computing framework. Use when targeting Google Quantum AI hardware, designing noise-aware circuits, or running quantum characterization experiments. Best for Google hardware, noise modeling, and low-level circuit design. For IBM hardware use qiskit; for quantum ML with autodiff use pennylane; for physics simulations use qutip.

citation-management

Comprehensive citation management for academic research. Search OpenAlex, PubMed, and Google Scholar for papers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This skill should be used when you need to find papers, verify citation information, convert DOIs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.

clinical-decision-support

Prepare and validate research-only clinical decision-support evaluation, evidence-profile, cohort, survival, biomarker/model, privacy, and governance artifacts. Use for aggregate or synthetic research documentation and traceability—not patient care or live clinical operation.

clinical-reports

Create safety-bounded draft structures and run local deterministic checks for clinical case, diagnostic, trial, safety, and aggregate research reports. Use only with synthetic, de-identified, or aggregate inputs and verified source-fact manifests; every output requires qualified review.
