# editable_extra_hint

> **Function** in `deepagents_code`

📖 [View in docs](https://reference.langchain.com/python/deepagents-code/update_check/editable_extra_hint)

Return the canonical action hint for editable installs missing an extra.

Shared by every site that detects an editable install and points the user
at the correct `uv tool install --editable` invocation, so wording stays
consistent and the literal `[<extra>]` bracket fragment is centrally
defined (callers that print through Rich markup must still escape it).

## Signature

```python
editable_extra_hint(
    extra: str,
) -> str
```
