New Block Creation

Read

docs/platform/block-sdk-guide.md

first for the full guide.

Steps

Provider config (if external service): create
```
_config.py
```
with
```
ProviderBuilder
```
Block file in
```
backend/blocks/
```
(from
```
autogpt_platform/backend/
```
):
- Generate a UUID once with
```
uuid.uuid4()
```
  , then hard-code that string as
```
id
```
  (IDs must be stable across imports)
- ```
Input(BlockSchema)
```
  and
```
Output(BlockSchema)
```
  classes
- ```
async def run
```
  that
```
yield
```
  s output fields
Files: use
```
store_media_file()
```
with
```
"for_block_output"
```
for outputs

Test:

poetry run pytest 'backend/blocks/test/test_block.py::test_available_blocks[MyBlock]' -xvs

Format:
```
poetry run format
```

Rules

Analyze interfaces: do inputs/outputs connect well with other blocks in a graph?
Use top-level imports, avoid duck typing
Always use
```
for_block_output
```
for block outputs
