+
+## 📝 Usage Example
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent, Tool, AgentRuntime } from '@hazeljs/agent';
+
+// 1. Define Agent
+@Agent({
+  name: 'support-agent',
+  description: 'Customer support agent',
+  enableMemory: true,
+  enableRAG: true,
+})
+export class SupportAgent {
+  @Tool({
+    description: 'Look up order by ID',
+    parameters: [
+      { name: 'orderId', type: 'string', required: true }
+    ],
+  })
+  async lookupOrder(input: { orderId: string }) {
+    return { orderId: input.orderId, status: 'shipped' };
+  }
+
+  @Tool({
+    description: 'Process refund',
+    requiresApproval: true, // Human approval required
+  })
+  async processRefund(input: { orderId: string; amount: number }) {
+    return { success: true, refundId: 'REF123' };
+  }
+}
+
+// 2. Initialize Runtime
+const runtime = new AgentRuntime({
+  memoryManager,
+  llmProvider,
+  defaultMaxSteps: 10,
+});
+
+// 3. Register Agent
+runtime.registerAgent(SupportAgent);
+runtime.registerAgentInstance('support-agent', new SupportAgent());
+
+// 4. Handle Approvals
+runtime.on('tool.approval.requested', (event) => {
+  runtime.approveToolExecution(event.data.requestId, 'admin');
+});
+
+// 5. Execute Agent
+const result = await runtime.execute(
+  'support-agent',
+  'Check order #12345',
+  { sessionId: 'session-123', enableMemory: true }
+);
+```

+
+## 🎨 Integration with HazelJS
+
+### As a Module
+
+```typescript
+import { HazelModule } from '@hazeljs/core';
+import { AgentModule } from '@hazeljs/agent';
+import { RagModule } from '@hazeljs/rag';
+
+@HazelModule({
+  imports: [
+    RagModule.forRoot({ /* ... */ }),
+    AgentModule.forRoot({
+      runtime: { defaultMaxSteps: 10 },
+      agents: [SupportAgent, SalesAgent],
+    }),
+  ],
+})
+export class AppModule {}
+```
+
+### As a Service
+
+```typescript
+import { Injectable } from '@hazeljs/core';
+import { AgentService } from '@hazeljs/agent';
+
+@Injectable()
+export class MyService {
+  constructor(private agentService: AgentService) {}
+
+  async handleRequest(input: string) {
+    return this.agentService.execute('support-agent', input);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## 📊 Comparison with Traditional Approaches
+
+### Traditional (Stateless)
+```typescript
+@Post('/chat')
+async chat(@Body() body: { message: string }) {
+  const response = await llm.chat(body.message);
+  return { response };
+}
+```
+**Issues**: No memory, no tools, no state, no observability
+
+### HazelJS Agent Runtime
+```typescript
+@Agent({ name: 'chat-agent', enableMemory: true })
+export class ChatAgent {
+  @Tool()
+  async searchDocs(query: string) { /* ... */ }
+}
+
+// Execution
+const result = await runtime.execute('chat-agent', message, {
+  sessionId: 'user-123',
+  enableMemory: true,
+});
+```
+**Benefits**: Memory, tools, state, observability, resumable
+
+## 🚀 Production Considerations
+
+### Current Implementation
+- In-memory state (Map-based)
+- Single process
+- No distributed coordination
+
+### Production Recommendations
+1. **State Persistence**: Replace Map with Redis/Database
+2. **Distributed Approvals**: Use message queue
+3. **Execution Queue**: Use job queue for long-running agents
+4. **Event Bus**: Replace in-memory emitter with distributed bus
+
+### Scaling Example
+```typescript
+class RedisStateManager extends AgentStateManager {
+  async getContext(executionId: string) {
+    return redis.get(`agent:context:${executionId}`);
+  }
+}
+
+const runtime = new AgentRuntime({
+  stateManager: new RedisStateManager(),
+});
+```

+# Agent State Persistence
+
+> **Note**: This document covers **Agent State Persistence** (execution flow, steps, state transitions).  
+> For information about **Memory Persistence** (conversation history, entities, facts), see `@hazeljs/rag` documentation.  
+> For understanding the difference between State and Memory, see [STATE_VS_MEMORY.md](./STATE_VS_MEMORY.md).
+
+The `@hazeljs/agent` package supports multiple persistence backends for agent execution state. Choose the right backend based on your needs:
+
+## Available Backends
+
+### 1. In-Memory (Default)
+- **Best for**: Development, testing, single-instance deployments
+- **Pros**: Fast, no setup required
+- **Cons**: Data lost on restart, not suitable for distributed systems
+
+### 2. Redis
+- **Best for**: Production, distributed systems, high-performance scenarios
+- **Pros**: Fast, distributed, TTL support, pub/sub capabilities
+- **Cons**: Requires Redis infrastructure
+
+### 3. Database (Prisma)
+- **Best for**: Long-term persistence, audit trails, analytics
+- **Pros**: Durable, queryable, full audit trail
+- **Cons**: Slower than Redis, requires database setup
+
+## Usage
+
+### In-Memory (Default)
+
+No configuration needed - this is the default:
+
+```typescript
+import { AgentRuntime } from '@hazeljs/agent';
+
+const runtime = new AgentRuntime({
+  // Uses in-memory state manager by default
+});
+```
+
+### Redis Backend
+
+1. Install Redis client:
+```bash
+npm install redis
+```
+
+2. Configure Redis state manager:
+
+```typescript
+import { AgentRuntime, RedisStateManager } from '@hazeljs/agent';
+import { createClient } from 'redis';
+
+// Create Redis client
+const redisClient = createClient({
+  url: process.env.REDIS_URL || 'redis://localhost:6379',
+});
+
+await redisClient.connect();
+
+// Create Redis state manager
+const stateManager = new RedisStateManager({
+  client: redisClient,
+  keyPrefix: 'agent:state:', // Optional
+  defaultTTL: 3600, // 1 hour for active contexts
+  completedTTL: 86400, // 24 hours for completed contexts
+  failedTTL: 604800, // 7 days for failed contexts
+});
+
+// Use with runtime
+const runtime = new AgentRuntime({
+  stateManager,
+});
+```
+
+### Database Backend (Prisma)
+
+1. Install Prisma:
+```bash
+npm install @prisma/client
+```
+
+2. Add schema to your Prisma schema:
+   - Copy models from `prisma-schema.example.prisma` to your `prisma/schema.prisma`
+   - See [PRISMA_INTEGRATION.md](./PRISMA_INTEGRATION.md) for detailed instructions
+
+3. Run migrations:
+```bash
+npx prisma migrate dev --name add_agent_state_models
+npx prisma generate
+```
+
+4. Configure database state manager:
+
+```typescript
+import { AgentRuntime, DatabaseStateManager } from '@hazeljs/agent';
+import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client';
+
+// Create Prisma client
+const prisma = new PrismaClient();
+
+// Create database state manager
+const stateManager = new DatabaseStateManager({
+  client: prisma,
+  softDelete: true, // Keep deleted contexts for audit
+  autoArchive: false, // Optional: auto-archive old contexts
+  archiveThresholdDays: 30,
+});
+
+// Use with runtime
+const runtime = new AgentRuntime({
+  stateManager,
+});
+```
+
+## Hybrid Approach (Recommended for Production)
+
+Use Redis for hot data and Database for cold/archived data:
+
+```typescript
+import { AgentRuntime, RedisStateManager, DatabaseStateManager } from '@hazeljs/agent';
+
+// Redis for active executions
+const redisStateManager = new RedisStateManager({
+  client: redisClient,
+  defaultTTL: 3600,
+});
+
+// Database for persistence and audit
+const dbStateManager = new DatabaseStateManager({
+  client: prisma,
+});
+
+// Use Redis for runtime
+const runtime = new AgentRuntime({
+  stateManager: redisStateManager,
+});
+
+// Optionally sync to database periodically
+setInterval(async () => {
+  const activeContexts = await redisStateManager.getSessionContexts(sessionId);
+  for (const context of activeContexts) {
+    if (context.state === 'completed' || context.state === 'failed') {
+      // Archive to database
+      await dbStateManager.createContext(
+        context.agentId,
+        context.sessionId,
+        context.input,
+        context.userId,
+        context.metadata
+      );
+    }
+  }
+}, 60000); // Every minute
+```
+
+## RAG Memory Persistence
+
+RAG memory (conversation history, entities, facts) uses the `@hazeljs/rag` package's `MemoryManager`, which supports:
+
+- **BufferMemory**: In-memory (default)
+- **VectorMemory**: Vector stores (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, ChromaDB)
+- **HybridMemory**: Combination of both
+
+See `@hazeljs/rag` documentation for RAG memory configuration.
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Redis**: Best for high-frequency reads/writes, distributed systems
+- **Database**: Best for long-term storage, complex queries, analytics
+- **In-Memory**: Best for development, single-instance deployments
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From In-Memory to Redis
+
+1. Install Redis and client
+2. Create RedisStateManager
+3. Pass to AgentRuntime config
+4. No code changes needed - interface is compatible
+
+### From In-Memory to Database
+
+1. Install Prisma
+2. Add schema and run migrations
+3. Create DatabaseStateManager
+4. Pass to AgentRuntime config
+5. No code changes needed - interface is compatible
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Development**: Use in-memory (default)
+2. **Staging**: Use Redis for testing distributed scenarios
+3. **Production**: Use Redis for active state, Database for audit/analytics
+4. **High Volume**: Use Redis with appropriate TTL settings
+5. **Compliance**: Use Database for full audit trails
