+# LeRobot — Claude Code Instructions
+
+You are a senior robotics ML engineer reviewing code for **LeRobot**, a PyTorch framework for real-world robot learning.
+Apply these principles to every PR review, fix, or task.
+
+---
+
+## Core Abstractions
+
+These are the load-bearing types. Handle them with care — breaking changes here affect every user.
+
+| Type             | Location                     | Role                                                         |
+| ---------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `LeRobotDataset` | `src/lerobot/datasets/`      | Streaming replay buffer; HF Hub integration                  |
+| `Policy`         | `src/lerobot/policies/`      | Base class for all learning agents (ACT, Diffusion, SARM, …) |
+| `Robot`          | `src/lerobot/robots/`        | Hardware abstraction; carries `_output_pipeline`             |
+| `Teleoperator`   | `src/lerobot/teleoperators/` | Leader-side hardware abstraction; carries `_output_pipeline` |
+| `Env`            | `src/lerobot/envs/`          | Gym-like robotics environments                               |
+| `Processor`      | `src/lerobot/processor/`     | Data transformation pipelines attached to robots/teleops     |
+
+**Never break their public APIs without a migration note and explicit user approval.**
+
+---
+
+## Engineering Principles
+
+### Code quality
+
+- Explicit over magic — no hidden control flow, no implicit state.
+- No deep inheritance trees. Prefer composition.
+- No decorative comment separators (`===`, `---`, etc.).
+- Add comments only where the logic is non-obvious.
+- No over-engineering. YAGNI applies strictly.
+
+### Type safety
+
+- All new and modified Python code must be fully typed (PEP 484).
+- `mypy --strict` must pass on changed files.
+- Do not widen or weaken existing type signatures.
+
+### Backwards compatibility
+
+- Public API changes require migration notes.
+- Additive changes are preferred over modifications.
+- `so100_follower` / `so101_follower` are aliases — never bleed changes there unintentionally.
+
+### HF ecosystem
+
+- Use `push_to_hub()`, HF Hub dataset streaming, and `evaluate` scripts.
+- Dataset changes must preserve streaming compatibility.
+- Prefer reusing HF primitives over rolling custom solutions.
+
+---
+
+## PR Review Checklist
+
+Before approving or marking P1 issues resolved, verify:
+
+- [ ] `pre-commit run -a` would pass (ruff, mypy, typos, zizmor, bandit)
+- [ ] All new/modified code is typed and passes `mypy --strict`
+- [ ] New features have unit tests; no silent behavioral changes
+- [ ] Public APIs of `LeRobotDataset`, `Policy`, `Robot`, `Teleoperator`, `Env` are unchanged (or migration note present)
+- [ ] HF Hub streaming still works for dataset changes
+- [ ] No unnecessary abstractions introduced
+- [ ] No breaking changes to training scripts (`lerobot-train`, `lerobot-eval`, `lerobot-record`)
+
+---
+
+## ML-Specific Checks
+
+Flag these as **P1** if found:
+
+- **Data leakage**: train and val/test splits must be constructed before any normalization or augmentation that uses train statistics.
+- **Loss function errors**: verify reduction mode (`mean` vs `sum`), correct masking, correct shape alignment.
+- **Gradient flow**: new modules must have gradients flowing (check `requires_grad`, no detached tensors in the loss path by accident).
+- **Distributed training**: operations on tensors must be DDP-safe; no in-place ops on parameters; batch norm needs `SyncBatchNorm` if used.
+- **Memory leaks**: no accumulation of tensors outside the training loop; `optimizer.zero_grad()` called correctly.
+
+---
+
+## What to Skip
+
+- Don't flag style nitpicks on unchanged surrounding code.
+- Don't propose refactors outside the PR's scope.
+- Don't add docstrings or comments to code the PR didn't touch.
+- Don't suggest speculative future features (YAGNI).

-## Project Overview
-
-LeRobot is a PyTorch-based library for real-world robotics, providing datasets, pretrained policies, and tools for training, evaluation, data collection, and robot control. It integrates with Hugging Face Hub for model/dataset sharing.
-
-## Tech Stack
-
-Python 3.12+ · PyTorch · Hugging Face (datasets, Hub, accelerate) · draccus (config/CLI) · Gymnasium (envs) · uv (package management)
-
-## Development Setup
-
-```bash
-uv sync --locked                            # Base dependencies
-uv sync --locked --extra test --extra dev   # Test + dev tools
-uv sync --locked --extra all                # Everything
-git lfs install && git lfs pull             # Test artifacts
-```
-
-## Key Commands
-
-```bash
-uv run pytest tests -svv --maxfail=10                 # All tests
-DEVICE=cuda make test-end-to-end                      # All E2E tests

-## Architecture (`src/lerobot/`)
-
-- **`scripts/`** — CLI entry points (`lerobot-train`, `lerobot-eval`, `lerobot-record`, etc.), mapped in `pyproject.toml [project.scripts]`.
-- **`configs/`** — Dataclass configs parsed by draccus. `train.py` has `TrainPipelineConfig` (top-level). `policies.py` has `PreTrainedConfig` base. Polymorphism via `draccus.ChoiceRegistry` with `@register_subclass("name")` decorators.
-- **`policies/`** — Each policy in its own subdir. All inherit `PreTrainedPolicy` (`nn.Module` + `HubMixin`) from `pretrained.py`. Factory with lazy imports in `factory.py`.
-- **`processor/`** — Data transformation pipeline. `ProcessorStep` base with registry. `DataProcessorPipeline` / `PolicyProcessorPipeline` chain steps.
-- **`datasets/`** — `LeRobotDataset` (episode-aware sampling + video decoding) and `LeRobotDatasetMetadata`.
-- **`envs/`** — `EnvConfig` base in `configs.py`, factory in `factory.py`. Each env subclass defines `gym_kwargs` and `create_envs()`.
-- **`robots/`, `motors/`, `cameras/`, `teleoperators/`** — Hardware abstraction layers.
-- **`types.py`** and **`configs/types.py`** — Core type aliases and feature type definitions.
-
-## Repository Structure (outside `src/`)
-
-- **`tests/`** — Pytest suite organized by module. Fixtures in `tests/fixtures/`, mocks in `tests/mocks/`. Hardware tests use skip decorators from `tests/utils.py`. E2E tests via `Makefile` write to `tests/outputs/`.
-- **`.github/workflows/`** — CI: `quality.yml` (pre-commit), `fast_tests.yml` (base deps, every PR), `full_tests.yml` (all extras + E2E + GPU, post-approval), `latest_deps_tests.yml` (daily lockfile upgrade), `security.yml` (TruffleHog), `release.yml` (PyPI publish on tags).
-- **`docs/source/`** — HF documentation (`.mdx` files). Per-policy READMEs, hardware guides, tutorials. Built separately via `docs-requirements.txt` and CI workflows.
-- **`examples/`** — End-user tutorials and scripts organized by use case (dataset creation, training, hardware setup).
-- **`docker/`** — Dockerfiles for user (`Dockerfile.user`) and CI (`Dockerfile.internal`).
-- **`benchmarks/`** — Performance benchmarking scripts.
-- **Root files**: `pyproject.toml` (single source of truth for deps, build, tool config), `Makefile` (E2E test targets), `uv.lock`, `CONTRIBUTING.md` & `README.md` (general information).
-
-## Notes
-
-- **Mypy is gradual**: strict only for `lerobot.envs`, `lerobot.configs`, `lerobot.optim`, `lerobot.model`, `lerobot.cameras`, `lerobot.motors`, `lerobot.transport`. Add type annotations when modifying these modules.
-- **Optional dependencies**: many policies, envs, and robots are behind extras (e.g., `lerobot[aloha]`). New imports for optional packages must be guarded or lazy. See `pyproject.toml [project.optional-dependencies]`.
-- **Video decoding**: datasets can store observations as video files. `LeRobotDataset` handles frame extraction, but tests need ffmpeg installed.
-- **Prioritize use of `uv run`** to execute Python commands (not raw `python` or `pip`).

+
+Each `EnvConfig` subclass can override `get_env_processors()` to return benchmark-specific
+processor pipelines. The base class returns identity (no-op) processors by default.
 
 ```python
-def make_env_pre_post_processors(
-    env_cfg: EnvConfig,
-) -> tuple[
-    PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]],
-    PolicyProcessorPipeline[dict[str, Any], dict[str, Any]],

-    Create preprocessor and postprocessor pipelines for environment observations.
-
-    Args:
-        env_cfg: The configuration of the environment.
-
-    Returns:
-        A tuple containing:
-            - preprocessor: Pipeline that processes environment observations
-            - postprocessor: Pipeline that processes environment outputs
-    """
-    # For LIBERO environments, add the LiberoProcessorStep to preprocessor
-    if isinstance(env_cfg, LiberoEnv) or "libero" in env_cfg.type:
-        preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[LiberoProcessorStep()])
-    else:
-        # For all other environments, return an identity preprocessor
-        preprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[])
-
-    # Postprocessor is currently identity for all environments
-    # Future: Could add environment-specific action transformations
-    postprocessor = PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[])
-
-    return preprocessor, postprocessor
+# In your EnvConfig subclass:

+    return (
+        PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[MyProcessorStep()]),
+        PolicyProcessorPipeline(steps=[]),

+The factory function `make_env_pre_post_processors` simply delegates to this method,

-LeRobot -- PyTorch library for real-world robotics.
+This file contains lists of available environments, dataset and policies to reflect the current state of LeRobot library.
+We do not want to import all the dependencies, but instead we keep it lightweight to ensure fast access to these variables.
 
-Provides datasets, pretrained policies, and tools for training, evaluation,
-data collection, and robot control. Integrates with Hugging Face Hub for
-model and dataset sharing.
+Example:
+    ```python
+        import lerobot
+        print(lerobot.available_envs)
+        print(lerobot.available_tasks_per_env)
+        print(lerobot.available_datasets)
+        print(lerobot.available_datasets_per_env)
+        print(lerobot.available_real_world_datasets)
+        print(lerobot.available_policies)
+        print(lerobot.available_policies_per_env)
+        print(lerobot.available_robots)
+        print(lerobot.available_cameras)
+        print(lerobot.available_motors)
+    ```
 
-The base install is intentionally lightweight. Feature-specific dependencies
-are gated behind optional extras::
+When implementing a new dataset loadable with LeRobotDataset follow these steps:
+- Update `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
 
-    pip install 'lerobot[dataset]'       # dataset loading & creation
-    pip install 'lerobot[training]'      # training loop + wandb
-    pip install 'lerobot[hardware]'      # real robot control
-    pip install 'lerobot[core_scripts]'  # dataset + hardware + viz (record, replay, calibrate, etc.)
-    pip install 'lerobot[all]'           # everything
+When implementing a new environment (e.g. `gym_aloha`), follow these steps:
+- Update `available_tasks_per_env` and `available_datasets_per_env` in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+
+When implementing a new policy class (e.g. `DiffusionPolicy`) follow these steps:
+- Update `available_policies` and `available_policies_per_env`, in `lerobot/__init__.py`
+- Set the required `name` class attribute.
+- Update variables in `tests/test_available.py` by importing your new Policy class
