This feature allows agent makers to mark credential fields as optional.
When credentials are not configured for an optional block, the block
will be skipped during execution rather than causing a validation error.
**Use case:** An agent with multiple notification channels (Discord,
Twilio, Slack) where the user only needs to configure one - unconfigured
channels are simply skipped.
### Changes 🏗️
#### Backend
**Data Model Changes:**
- `backend/data/graph.py`: Added `credentials_optional` property to
`Node` model that reads from node metadata
- `backend/data/execution.py`: Added `nodes_to_skip` field to
`GraphExecutionEntry` model to track nodes that should be skipped
**Validation Changes:**
- `backend/executor/utils.py`:
- Updated `_validate_node_input_credentials()` to return a tuple of
`(credential_errors, nodes_to_skip)`
- Nodes with `credentials_optional=True` and missing credentials are
added to `nodes_to_skip` instead of raising validation errors
- Updated `validate_graph_with_credentials()` to propagate
`nodes_to_skip` set
- Updated `validate_and_construct_node_execution_input()` to return
`nodes_to_skip`
- Updated `add_graph_execution()` to pass `nodes_to_skip` to execution
entry
**Execution Changes:**
- `backend/executor/manager.py`:
- Added skip logic in `_on_graph_execution()` dispatch loop
- When a node is in `nodes_to_skip`, it is marked as `COMPLETED` without
execution
- No outputs are produced, so downstream nodes won't trigger
#### Frontend
**Node Store:**
- `frontend/src/app/(platform)/build/stores/nodeStore.ts`:
- Added `credentials_optional` to node metadata serialization in
`convertCustomNodeToBackendNode()`
- Added `getCredentialsOptional()` and `setCredentialsOptional()` helper
methods
**Credential Field Component:**
-
`frontend/src/components/renderers/input-renderer/fields/CredentialField/CredentialField.tsx`:
- Added "Optional - skip block if not configured" switch toggle
- Switch controls the `credentials_optional` metadata flag
- Placeholder text updates based on optional state
**Credential Field Hook:**
-
`frontend/src/components/renderers/input-renderer/fields/CredentialField/useCredentialField.ts`:
- Added `disableAutoSelect` parameter
- When credentials are optional, auto-selection of credentials is
disabled
**Feature Flags:**
- `frontend/src/services/feature-flags/use-get-flag.ts`: Minor refactor
(condition ordering)

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---
> [!NOTE]
> Introduces optional credentials across graph execution and UI,
allowing nodes to be skipped (no outputs, no downstream triggers) when
their credentials are not configured.
>
> - Backend
> - Adds `Node.credentials_optional` (from node `metadata`) and computes
required credential fields in `Graph.credentials_input_schema` based on
usage.
> - Validates credentials with `_validate_node_input_credentials` →
returns `(errors, nodes_to_skip)`; plumbs `nodes_to_skip` through
`validate_graph_with_credentials`,
`_construct_starting_node_execution_input`,
`validate_and_construct_node_execution_input`, and `add_graph_execution`
into `GraphExecutionEntry`.
> - Executor: dispatch loop skips nodes in `nodes_to_skip` (marks
`COMPLETED`); `execute_node`/`on_node_execution` accept `nodes_to_skip`;
`SmartDecisionMakerBlock.run` filters tool functions whose
`_sink_node_id` is in `nodes_to_skip` and errors only if all tools are
filtered.
> - Models: `GraphExecutionEntry` gains `nodes_to_skip` field. Tests and
snapshots updated accordingly.
>
> - Frontend
> - Builder: credential field uses `custom/credential_field` with an
"Optional – skip block if not configured" toggle; `nodeStore` persists
`credentials_optional` and history; UI hides optional toggle in run
dialogs.
> - Run dialogs: compute required credentials from
`credentials_input_schema.required`; allow selecting "None"; avoid
auto-select for optional; filter out incomplete creds before execute.
> - Minor schema/UI wiring updates (`uiSchema`, form context flags).

This is the frontend for AutoGPT's next generation
🧢 Getting Started
This project uses pnpm as the package manager via corepack. Corepack is a Node.js tool that automatically manages package managers without requiring global installations.
For architecture, conventions, data fetching, feature flags, design system usage, state management, and PR process, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
Prerequisites
Make sure you have Node.js 16.10+ installed. Corepack is included with Node.js by default.
Setup
1. Enable corepack (run this once on your system):
corepack enable
This enables corepack to automatically manage pnpm based on the packageManager field in package.json.
2. Install dependencies:
pnpm i
3. Start the development server:
Running the Front-end & Back-end separately
We recommend this approach if you are doing active development on the project. First spin up the Back-end:
# on `autogpt_platform`
docker compose --profile local up deps_backend -d
# on `autogpt_platform/backend`
poetry run app
Then start the Front-end:
# on `autogpt_platform/frontend`
pnpm dev
Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result. If the server starts on http://localhost:3001 it means the Front-end is already running via Docker. You have to kill the container then or do docker compose down.
You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
Running both the Front-end and Back-end via Docker
If you run:
# on `autogpt_platform`
docker compose up -d
It will spin up the Back-end and Front-end via Docker. The Front-end will start on port 3000. This might not be
what you want when actively contributing to the Front-end as you won't have direct/easy access to the Next.js dev server.
Subsequent Runs
For subsequent development sessions, you only need to run:
pnpm dev
Every time a new Front-end dependency is added by you or others, you will need to run pnpm i to install the new dependencies.
Available Scripts

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
🔄 Data Fetching
See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidance on generated API hooks, SSR + hydration patterns, and usage examples. You generally do not need to run OpenAPI commands unless adding/modifying backend endpoints.
🚩 Feature Flags
See CONTRIBUTING.md for feature flag usage patterns, local development with mocks, and how to add new flags.

📙 Storybook
Storybook is a powerful development environment for UI components. It allows you to build UI components in isolation, making it easier to develop, test, and document your components independently from your main application.
Purpose in the Development Process
- Component Development: Develop and test UI components in isolation.
- Visual Testing: Easily spot visual regressions.
- Documentation: Automatically document components and their props.
- Collaboration: Share components with your team or stakeholders for feedback.
How to Use Storybook
-
Start Storybook: Run the following command to start the Storybook development server:
pnpm storybookThis will start Storybook on port 6006. Open http://localhost:6006 in your browser to view your component library.
-
Build Storybook: To build a static version of Storybook for deployment, use:
pnpm build-storybook -
Running Storybook Tests: Storybook tests can be run using:
pnpm test-storybook -
Writing Stories: Create
.stories.tsxfiles alongside your components to define different states and variations of your components.
By integrating Storybook into our development workflow, we can streamline UI development, improve component reusability, and maintain a consistent design system across the project.
