+/**
+ * Base implementation for AI Agents in the MemberJunction framework.
+ *
+ * The BaseAgent class provides the core execution logic for AI agents using
+ * a hierarchical prompt system. It implements the following workflow:
+ *
+ * 1. Loads the agent's type to get the system prompt configuration
+ * 2. Validates that the agent type has a properly configured placeholder
+ * 3. Loads the agent's first active prompt (ordered by ExecutionOrder)
+ * 4. Gathers context data including sub-agents and available actions
+ * 5. Executes the prompts hierarchically (system prompt as parent, agent prompt as child)
+ * 6. Uses the agent type to determine the next step based on execution results
+ *
+ * @class BaseAgent
+ * @example
+ * ```typescript
+ * // Using with default context type (any)
+ * const agent = new BaseAgent();
+ * const result = await agent.Execute({
+ *   agent: myAgentEntity,
+ *   conversationMessages: messages,
+ *   contextUser: currentUser
+ * });
+ *
+ * // Using with typed context through ExecuteAgentParams
+ * interface MyContext {
+ *   apiKey: string;
+ *   environment: 'dev' | 'prod';
+ * }
+ *
+ * const agent = new BaseAgent();
+ * const params: ExecuteAgentParams<MyContext> = {
+ *   agent: myAgentEntity,
+ *   conversationMessages: messages,
+ *   contextUser: currentUser,
+ *   context: {
+ *     apiKey: 'abc123',
+ *     environment: 'prod'
+ *   }
+ * };
+ * const result = await agent.Execute(params);
+ * ```
