## Description

# logfire-api

Shim for the logfire SDK Python API which does nothing unless logfire is installed.

This package is designed to be used by packages that want to provide opt-in integration with [Logfire](https://github.com/pydantic/logfire).

The package provides a clone of the Python API exposed by the `logfire` package which does nothing if the `logfire` package is not installed, but makes real calls when it is.

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

A no-op shim for the Logfire SDK API that allows packages to offer optional Logfire integration without requiring Logfire as a hard dependency—calls are silently ignored if Logfire is not installed, but forwarded to the real SDK when it is.

Verdict: A lightweight, well-maintained shim for adding optional Logfire instrumentation to libraries without forcing a hard dependency. Zero security vulnerabilities, permissive MIT license, and no external dependencies make it a low-risk addition to any package's integration layer.
