27
+ ## Declarative Agent Definitions
28
+
29
+ A key feature of SmartAgent is the ability to define agents declaratively using YAML files, separating the static definition of agents from their dynamic runtime behavior:
30
+
31
+ ### Static Definitions (YAML)
32
+
33
+ Agents can be defined in YAML files that specify:
34
+ - Metadata (name, description)
35
+ - LLM configuration (provider, model, system instructions)
36
+ - Transport mechanisms (NATS, etc.)
37
+ - Tool schemas (name, description, parameters)
38
+ - Discovery schemas for inter-agent communication
39
+
40
+ Example YAML definition:
41
+
42
+ ```yaml
43
+ ---
44
+ apiVersion: smartagent.io/v1alpha1
45
+ kind: AgentDefinition
46
+ metadata:
47
+ name: bookingAgent
48
+ namespace: smartchat

97
+ properties:
98
+ hotelName:
99
+ type: string
100
+ description: The name of the hotel.
101
+ roomName:
102
+ type: string
103
+ description: The name of the room.
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ You can define multiple agents in a single YAML file using YAML document separators (`---`). Each agent can have its own specialized role in a multi-agent system.
107
+
108
+ ### Dynamic Implementation (JavaScript)
109
+
110
+ The YAML definitions are loaded at runtime, and tool implementations are dynamically bound using JavaScript:
111
+
112
+ ```javascript
113
+ // Load all agents from a YAML file
114
+ const agents = await AgentLoaderFile('./agents.yaml', {
115
+ bindings: { [Bindings.NatsIO]: natsInstance }
116
+ });
117
+
118
+ // Access a specific agent
119
+ const bookingAgent = agents.bookingAgent;
120
+ const pricingAgent = agents.pricingAgent;
121
+
122
+ // Bind tool implementations
123
+ bookingAgent.tools.bookRoomTool.bind(async (state, input) => {
124
+ // Actual implementation to book a room
125
+ return {
126
+ confirmation: `Room ${input.roomName} booked at ${input.hotelName}
127
+ from ${input.checkinDate} to ${input.checkoutDate}`
128
+ };
129
+ });
130
+
131
+ // Customize prompt/response handling
132
+ bookingAgent.prompt((state, input) => {
133
+ // Pre-process input before sending to LLM
134
+ console.log(`Received booking request: ${input}`);
135
+ return input;
136
+ });
137
+
138
+ bookingAgent.response((state, conversation, result) => {
139
+ // Post-process response from LLM
140
+ return `Booking confirmation: ${result}`;
141
+ });
142
+
143
+ // Compile all agents to make them ready for use
144
+ await bookingAgent.compile();
145
+ await pricingAgent.compile();
146
+ ```
147
+
148
+ This separation of concerns allows for:
149
+ - Version-controlled agent definitions
150
+ - Reusable tool schemas
151
+ - Dynamic runtime implementation
152
+ - Easy testing and deployment
153
+ - Clear separation between definition and implementation
154
+
155
+ ### Multi-Agent Systems with YAML
156
+
157
+ The framework excels at creating autonomous multi-agent systems where specialized agents collaborate with minimal supervision. Each agent in the network can operate independently while maintaining awareness of other agents' capabilities. This creates a resilient, self-organizing system that can tackle complex tasks through agent collaboration. An example setup might include:
158
+
159
+ ```javascript
160
+ // Load a set of specialized agents from YAML
161
+ const agents = await AgentLoaderFile('./agents-smartness.yaml', {
162
+ bindings: { [Bindings.NatsIO]: natsIO }
163
+ });
164
+
165
+ // Configure each agent with specific tool implementations
166
+ agents.accomodationAgent.tools.getRoomsListTool.bind(async (state, input) => {
167
+ // Implementation for listing available rooms
168
+ return { rooms: ["Double room with sea view", "Single room with pool view"] };
169
+ });
170
+
171
+ agents.pricingAgent.tools.getPricingTool.bind(async (state, input) => {
172
+ // Implementation for getting room prices
173
+ return { price: "200€ per night" };
174
+ });
175
+
176
+ agents.bookingAgent.tools.bookRoomTool.bind(async (state, input) => {
177
+ // Implementation for booking rooms
178
+ return { confirmation: "Booking confirmed" };
179
+ });
180
+
181
+ // Compile all agents
182
+ await Promise.all(Object.values(agents).map(agent => agent.compile()));
183
+
184
+ // Wait for agent discovery to complete
185
+ await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
186
+
187
+ // Query the main orchestrator agent
188
+ const client = AgentClient();
189
+ const response = await client.queryIo(
190
+ natsIO,
191
+ 'smartnessAgent',
192
+ "What rooms do you have available for next weekend and how much do they cost?"
193
+ );
194
+ ```
195
+
196
+ With this setup, the smartness agent will automatically discover and delegate to specialized agents for accommodation, pricing, and booking, creating an autonomous network that collectively solves the user's query.
197
+
198
+ ## Key Features
199
+
200
+ - **Autonomous Agent Networks**: Create self-organizing networks of agents that can discover, communicate, and collaborate with minimal human intervention
201
+ - **Modular Agent Architecture**: Create specialized agents with distinct capabilities and compose them to solve complex problems
202
+ - **Transport Agnostic**: Work with agents directly or through transport mechanisms like NATS
203
+ - **Auto-Discovery**: Agents can discover each other's capabilities dynamically at runtime
204
+ - **Tool Binding**: Easily bind JavaScript functions to agent tools
205
+ - **Agent Handoffs**: Seamlessly delegate tasks between agents
206
+ - **LLM Provider Agnostic**: Support for multiple LLM providers (Gemini and extensible to others)
207
+ - **Persistent Sessions**: Maintain conversation context and state across interactions
208
+
209
+ ## Quick Start
210
+
211
+ ```javascript
212
+ import { Agent, Gemini, NatsIO } from "smartagent";
213
+
214
+ // Create a simple agent
215
+ const myAgent = Agent()
216
+ .setMetadata({
217
+ name: "myAgent",
218
+ description: "A helpful assistant"
219
+ })
220
+ .withLLM(Gemini, {
221
+ model: "gemini-pro",
222
+ systemInstruction: "You are a helpful assistant"
223
+ })
224
+ .addToolSchema({
225
+ name: "weatherTool",
226
+ description: "Get weather information",
227
+ parameters: {
228
+ location: "string"
229
+ }
230
+ });
231
+
232
+ // Bind tool implementation
233
+ const compiledAgent = await myAgent.compile();
234
+ compiledAgent.tools.weatherTool.bind(async (state, input) => {
235
+ return { weather: "Sunny", temperature: 25 };
236
+ });
237
+
238
+ // Query the agent
239
+ const response = await compiledAgent.query("What's the weather like in Paris?");
240
+ console.log(response);
241
+ ```
242
+
243
+ ## Core Concepts
244
+
245
+ ### Agents
246
+
247
+ Agents are the core building blocks of the framework. Each agent:
248
+
249
+ - Has its own identity (name, description)
250
+ - Can be configured with an LLM provider
251
+ - Can define and implement tools
252
+ - Can discover and communicate with other agents
253
+
254
+ ### Agent Configuration
255
+
256
+ Agents can be configured programmatically or via YAML definitions:
257
+
258
+ ```javascript
259
+ // Programmatic configuration
260
+ const myAgent = Agent()
261
+ .setMetadata({ name: "myAgent" })
262
+ .withLLM(Gemini, { model: "gemini-pro" })
263
+ .addToolSchema(myToolSchema);
264
+
265
+ // YAML-based configuration
266
+ const agents = await AgentLoaderFile('./agents.yaml', {
267
+ bindings: { [Bindings.NatsIO]: natsInstance }
268
+ });
269
+ ```
270
+
271
+ ### Tool Binding
272
+
273
+ Tools allow agents to perform actions in the real world. Each tool:
274
+
275
+ - Has a schema that defines its interface (name, description, parameters)
276
+ - Has an implementation bound to it at runtime
277
+
278
+ ```javascript
279
+ // Define tool schema
280
+ agent.addToolSchema({
281
+ name: "fetchData",
282
+ description: "Fetch data from an API",
283
+ parameters: {
284
+ url: "string",
285
+ method: "string"
286
+ }
287
+ });
288
+
289
+ // Bind implementation
290
+ agent.tools.fetchData.bind(async (state, input) => {
291
+ // Actual implementation
292
+ const response = await fetch(input.url, { method: input.method });
293
+ return await response.json();
294
+ });
295
+ ```
296
+
297
+ ### Transport Mechanisms
298
+
299
+ The framework supports different transport mechanisms for agent communication:
300
+
301
+ #### Direct Communication
302
+
303
+ Agents can be queried directly in the same process:
304
+
305
+ ```javascript
306
+ const compiledAgent = await myAgent.compile();
307
+ const response = await compiledAgent.query("Hello, agent!");
308
+ ```
309
+
310
+ #### NATS-based Communication
311
+
312
+ Agents can communicate through NATS for distributed deployments:
313
+
314
+ ```javascript
315
+ // Initialize NATS transport
316
+ const natsIO = NatsIO({ servers: ['nats://localhost:4222'] });
317
+
318
+ // Configure agent with NATS transport
319
+ const myAgent = Agent()
320
+ .setMetadata({ name: "distributedAgent" })
321
+ .addIO(natsIO, { bindings: { discoveryTopic: "agent.discovery" } })
322
+ .withLLM(Gemini, { model: "gemini-pro" });
323
+
324
+ // Query an agent through NATS
325
+ const client = AgentClient();
326
+ const response = await client.queryIo(natsIO, 'distributedAgent', "Hello!");
327
+ ```
328
+
329
+ ### Agent Auto-Discovery
330
+
331
+ Agents can discover each other's capabilities at runtime through a discovery protocol:
332
+
333
+ 1. Agents publish their capabilities (available tools and schemas) to a discovery topic
334
+ 2. Other agents subscribe to the discovery topic and build a catalog of available agents
335
+ 3. Agents can then delegate tasks to the most appropriate agent
336
+
337
+ ```javascript
338
+ // Auto-discovery happens automatically when agents share the same transport
339
+ // Just wait for discovery to complete
340
+ await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
341
+
342
+ // Now agents can communicate with each other
343
+ ```
344
+
345
+ ### Agent Handoffs
346
+
347
+ Agents can delegate tasks to other agents with the right capabilities:
348
+
349
+ 1. An agent receives a task it can't handle directly
350
+ 2. It identifies another agent with the required capability
351
+ 3. It hands off the task to that agent
352
+ 4. The specialized agent processes the task and returns the result
353
+
354
+ This happens transparently from the user's perspective, creating a seamless experience.
355
+
356
+ ## Advanced Usage
357
+
358
+ ### Events and Hooks
359
+
360
+ Customize agent behavior with event hooks:
361
+
362
+ ```javascript
363
+ agent.prompt((state, input) => {
364
+ // Customize input before it reaches the LLM
365
+ return `[Processed] ${input}`;
366
+ });
367
+
368
+ agent.response((state, conversation, result) => {
369
+ // Process the result before returning to the user
370
+ return `Agent says: ${result}`;
371
+ });
372
+ ```
373
+
374
+ ### Multi-Agent Systems
375
+
376
+ Create autonomous networks of specialized agents that collaborate without human intervention:
377
+
378
+ ```javascript
379
+ // Create specialized agents
380
+ const weatherAgent = Agent()
381
+ .setMetadata({ name: "weatherAgent" })
382
+ .addToolSchema(weatherToolSchema);
383
+
384
+ const travelAgent = Agent()
385
+ .setMetadata({ name: "travelAgent" })
386
+ .addToolSchema(travelToolSchema);
387
+
388
+ // The main agent that orchestrates others
389
+ const smartAgent = Agent()
390
+ .setMetadata({ name: "smartAgent" })
391
+ .addDiscoverySchema(weatherDiscoverySchema)
392
+ .addDiscoverySchema(travelDiscoverySchema);
393
+
394
+ // Compile and connect all agents
395
+ await weatherAgent.compile();
396
+ await travelAgent.compile();
397
+ await smartAgent.compile();
398
+
399
+ // Query through the main agent
400
+ const response = await smartAgent.query(
401
+ "Plan a trip to Paris and tell me about the weather"
402
+ );
403
+ ```
404
+
405
+ In this autonomous network:
406
+ - Each agent is responsible for a specific domain of expertise
407
+ - The orchestrator agent (smartAgent) discovers and routes requests to appropriate specialists
408
+ - The network can scale by adding more specialized agents without changing existing ones
409
+ - Agents can be deployed across different environments while maintaining communication
410
+
411
+ ### Session State Management
412
+
413
+ The SmartAgent framework provides robust session management for maintaining state across conversations and agent interactions:
414
+
415
+ ```javascript
416
+ // Creating a message with session information
417
+ const message = new Message({
418
+ content: "What rooms do you have available?",
419
+ session: {
420
+ id: "67a71e42-a7d8-1db2-ad17-64e1c8546b21", // Reserved system ID
421
+ propertySetId: "123", // Custom session data
422
+ userPreferences: { roomType: "suite" } // Custom session data
423
+ }
424
+ });
425
+
426
+ // Query the agent with session context
427
+ const result = await agentInstance.query(message);
428
+ ```
429
+
430
+ #### Session ID
431
+
432
+ The `id` keyword in the session object is reserved for the system. It's used to uniquely identify the session for:
433
+ - Loading session state from persistent storage
434
+ - Saving session state back to storage
435
+ - Tracking conversation history
436
+
437
+ #### State Propagation
438
+
439
+ Session variables have different scopes:
440
+
441
+ 1. **Regular variables** (without underscore prefix) are propagated between agents during handoffs, ensuring continuity of context across the agent system.
442
+
443
+ 2. **Private variables** (with underscore prefix `_`) are agent-specific and not shared during handoffs. For example:
444
+ ```javascript
445
+ message.session._agentPrivateData = "This stays with the current agent";
446
+ message.session.sharedData = "This is passed between agents";
447
+ ```
448
+
449
+ When a session is saved to storage, private variables (starting with `_`) are saved on the agent store, but removed from response to the calling agent to keep the session data clean and focused on shareable information.
450
+
451
+ #### Stores Configuration
452
+
453
+ SmartAgent supports different storage backends for persisting session state:
454
+
455
+ ```javascript
456
+ // Configure the agent with a Postgres store
457
+ const agents = await AgentLoaderJSON(agentDefinition, {
458
+ bindings: {
459
+ [Bindings.Postgres]: PostgresStore({
460
+ url: "postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres"
461
+ })
462
+ }
463
+ });
464
+
465
+ // Or with an in-memory store for testing
466
+ const agents = await AgentLoaderJSON(agentDefinition, {
467
+ bindings: {
468
+ [Bindings.Memory]: MemoryStore()
469
+ }
470
+ });
471
+ ```
472
+
473
+ #### Session Life Cycle
474
+
475
+ 1. When an agent receives a query with a session ID, it attempts to load the existing session state
476
+ 2. The state is merged with any new session data provided in the query
477
+ 3. The agent processes the query with access to this state
478
+ 4. Before responding, the updated state is saved back to storage
479
+ 5. Private variables (with `_` prefix) are removed from the response
480
+
481
+ This mechanism allows agents to maintain context across multiple interactions while keeping appropriate boundaries between agent-specific and shared data.
