-    Base Agent class that provides core functionality for domain-specific agents.
-
-    The Agent class handles the core conversation loop, tool execution, and LLM
-    interaction patterns. It provides:
-    - Conversation management with an LLM
-    - Tool registration and execution framework
-    - JSON response parsing and validation
-    - Error handling and recovery
-    - State management for multi-step plans
-    - Output formatting and file writing
-    - Configurable prompt display for debugging
-
-    Key Parameters:
-        debug: Enable general debug output and logging
-        show_prompts: Display prompts sent to LLM (useful for debugging prompts)
-        debug_prompts: Include prompts in conversation history for analysis
-        streaming: Enable real-time streaming of LLM responses
-        silent_mode: Suppress all console output for JSON-only usage
