+
+**Continuum** is a production-grade Python framework for building, orchestrating, and shipping autonomous AI agents at enterprise scale. It unifies a clean, typed agent core with cost-aware multi-model inference, stateful long- and short-term memory, open standards-based tool calling, durable execution, and end-to-end observability — all behind one small, composable, type-safe API.
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- 🤖 **Agentic core & orchestration** — a strongly-typed agent primitive with full lifecycle hooks, schema-validated structured outputs, and nine composable multi-agent patterns (sequential, parallel, loop, routing, planning, reflection, debate, scatter, supervised).
+- 🔀 **Smart Inference** — cost-aware inference routing that classifies every request by complexity and dispatches it to the cheapest capable model, with seamless cross-provider failover and zero lock-in.
+- 🧠 **Stateful memory** — persistent semantic long-term recall plus low-latency working memory, with multi-tenant isolation scopes and built-in PII redaction for privacy-by-default agents.
+- 🔌 **Open tool calling** — plug into any standards-based tool ecosystem (Model Context Protocol) across multiple transports, with fine-grained capability scoping, context capture/injection, and rich generative-UI artifacts.
+- 🔁 **Durable execution** — long-running, crash- and restart-safe agent workflows with human-in-the-loop approval gates and exactly-once guarantees.
+- 🔭 **Full observability** — first-class distributed tracing, token/latency/error telemetry, and one-line function instrumentation for complete run transparency.
+- 🌐 **Model-agnostic** — target frontier or open-weight models through a single model string; swap providers without touching agent code.
+- 🤝 **Multi-agent handoffs** — context-preserving agent-to-agent delegation with history summarization, cycle detection, and depth control.
+- 📡 **Real-time streaming** — token-, tool-, handoff-, and memory-level events streamed the moment they happen.
+- ✅ **Built-in evaluation** — turn live production traces into golden datasets and regression-test agent quality with standard LLM-evaluation metrics.
+
+## 🚀 Quick start
+
+**Requirements:** Python 3.13+ and Docker (for Redis · Milvus/Qdrant · Langfuse).
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/shyftlabs/continuum.git
+cd continuum
+
+python3.13 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -e .
+
+cp .env.template .env        # add your provider key(s) — see Configuration below
+docker compose up -d         # Redis · Milvus/Qdrant · Langfuse
+```
+
+Your first agent:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from continuum.agent import BaseAgent, AgentRunner
+
+async def main():
+    agent = BaseAgent(
+        name="hello-agent",
+        instructions="You are a friendly assistant.",
+        model="gpt-4o-mini",
+    )
+    runner = AgentRunner()
+    response = await runner.run(agent, "Hi!")
+    print(response.content)
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+`AgentRunner.run()` returns an `AgentResponse` with `content`, `structured_output`, `usage`, `tool_calls`, `run_artifacts`, `latency_ms`, and the full handoff chain. See the [**docs**](https://docs.continuum.shyftlabs.io/) for streaming, tools/MCP, memory, handoffs, and workflows.
+
+## ⚙️ Configuring Continuum
+
+Continuum is configured through environment variables (copy [`.env.template`](.env.template) → `.env`). Set keys only for the providers and components you use — everything else has sensible defaults. The most common settings:
+
+#### LLM providers & routing
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `OPENAI_API_KEY` / `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `GEMINI_API_KEY` | Provider API keys — set the one(s) you use | `sk-…` |
+| `DEFAULT_LLM_MODEL` | Default model (`provider/model`, or bare name for OpenAI) | `gemini/gemini-2.5-flash` |
+| `FALLBACK_LLM_MODEL` | Model used if the default fails | `gpt-4o-mini` |
+| `LLM_ENABLE_FALLBACK` | Automatically fall back on provider errors | `true` |
+| `SMART_LAYER_ENABLED` | Enable cost-aware tier routing (Smart Inference) | `true` |
+
+#### Memory (long-term) & embeddings
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `MEMORY_ENABLED` | Enable mem0-backed long-term memory | `true` |
+| `VECTOR_STORE_PROVIDER` | Vector store backend | `qdrant` / `milvus` |
+| `EMBEDDER_PROVIDER` / `EMBEDDER_MODEL` | Embedding provider & model | `openai` / `text-embedding-3-small` |
+| `MEMORY_ISOLATION` | Scope of memory isolation | `user` / `agent` / `run` / `shared` |
+
+#### Sessions (short-term)
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `SESSION_ENABLED` | Enable Redis-backed conversation sessions | `true` |
+| `SESSION_REDIS_HOST` / `SESSION_REDIS_PORT` | Redis connection | `localhost` / `6380` |
+| `SESSION_TTL_SECONDS` | Session lifetime | `172800` |
+
+#### Observability (Langfuse)
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `LANGFUSE_ENABLED` | Enable tracing | `true` |
+| `LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY` / `LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY` | Langfuse credentials | `pk-…` / `sk-…` |
+| `LANGFUSE_HOST` | Langfuse endpoint | `http://localhost:3000` |
+
+#### Temporal (optional, durable workflows)
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `TEMPORAL_ENABLED` | Enable durable workflow orchestration | `false` |
+| `TEMPORAL_HOST` | Temporal frontend | `localhost:7233` |
+
+> Optional extras: `pip install -e ".[temporal]"` for Temporal, `".[eval]"` for evaluation, `".[embeddings]"` for local embeddings. See [`.env.template`](.env.template) for the complete, annotated reference.
+
+## 🧩 Components
+
+| Component | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| **Agents** | `BaseAgent` + `AgentRunner` — config, hooks, structured outputs, ReAct |
+| **Workflows** | Nine multi-agent patterns for chaining, branching, looping, and self-improvement |
+| **Smart Inference** | Request classifier + cost-aware model routing with fallback |
+| **Memory** | mem0 + Qdrant/Milvus (long-term) · Redis (sessions) · multi-tenant scopes |
+| **Tools / MCP** | MCP servers over Stdio/SSE/StreamableHTTP, tool filtering, widget artifacts |
+| **Temporal** | Durable, restart-safe workflows with human-in-the-loop gates |
+| **Observability** | Langfuse traces, metrics, `@observe` decorators |
+| **Evaluation** | Golden datasets + DeepEval / RAGAS metrics |
+

+
+**Continuum** is a production-grade Python framework for building, orchestrating, and shipping autonomous AI agents at enterprise scale. It unifies a clean, typed agent core with cost-aware multi-model inference, stateful long- and short-term memory, open standards-based tool calling, durable execution, and end-to-end observability — all behind one small, composable, type-safe API.
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- 🤖 **Agentic core & orchestration** — a strongly-typed agent primitive with full lifecycle hooks, schema-validated structured outputs, and nine composable multi-agent patterns (sequential, parallel, loop, routing, planning, reflection, debate, scatter, supervised).
+- 🔀 **Smart Inference** — cost-aware inference routing that classifies every request by complexity and dispatches it to the cheapest capable model, with seamless cross-provider failover and zero lock-in.
+- 🧠 **Stateful memory** — persistent semantic long-term recall plus low-latency working memory, with multi-tenant isolation scopes and built-in PII redaction for privacy-by-default agents.
+- 🔌 **Open tool calling** — plug into any standards-based tool ecosystem (Model Context Protocol) across multiple transports, with fine-grained capability scoping, context capture/injection, and rich generative-UI artifacts.
+- 🔁 **Durable execution** — long-running, crash- and restart-safe agent workflows with human-in-the-loop approval gates and exactly-once guarantees.
+- 🔭 **Full observability** — first-class distributed tracing, token/latency/error telemetry, and one-line function instrumentation for complete run transparency.
+- 🌐 **Model-agnostic** — target frontier or open-weight models through a single model string; swap providers without touching agent code.
+- 🤝 **Multi-agent handoffs** — context-preserving agent-to-agent delegation with history summarization, cycle detection, and depth control.
+- 📡 **Real-time streaming** — token-, tool-, handoff-, and memory-level events streamed the moment they happen.
+- ✅ **Built-in evaluation** — turn live production traces into golden datasets and regression-test agent quality with standard LLM-evaluation metrics.
+
+## 🚀 Quick start
+
+**Requirements:** Python 3.13+ and Docker (for Redis · Milvus/Qdrant · Langfuse).
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/shyftlabs/continuum.git
+cd continuum
+
+python3.13 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -e .
+
+cp .env.template .env        # add your provider key(s) — see Configuration below
+docker compose up -d         # Redis · Milvus/Qdrant · Langfuse
+```
+
+Your first agent:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from continuum.agent import BaseAgent, AgentRunner
+
+async def main():
+    agent = BaseAgent(
+        name="hello-agent",
+        instructions="You are a friendly assistant.",
+        model="gpt-4o-mini",
+    )
+    runner = AgentRunner()
+    response = await runner.run(agent, "Hi!")
+    print(response.content)
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+`AgentRunner.run()` returns an `AgentResponse` with `content`, `structured_output`, `usage`, `tool_calls`, `run_artifacts`, `latency_ms`, and the full handoff chain. See the [**docs**](https://docs.continuum.shyftlabs.io/) for streaming, tools/MCP, memory, handoffs, and workflows.
+
+## ⚙️ Configuring Continuum
+
+Continuum is configured through environment variables (copy [`.env.template`](.env.template) → `.env`). Set keys only for the providers and components you use — everything else has sensible defaults. The most common settings:
+
+#### LLM providers & routing
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `OPENAI_API_KEY` / `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` / `GEMINI_API_KEY` | Provider API keys — set the one(s) you use | `sk-…` |
+| `DEFAULT_LLM_MODEL` | Default model (`provider/model`, or bare name for OpenAI) | `gemini/gemini-2.5-flash` |
+| `FALLBACK_LLM_MODEL` | Model used if the default fails | `gpt-4o-mini` |
+| `LLM_ENABLE_FALLBACK` | Automatically fall back on provider errors | `true` |
+| `SMART_LAYER_ENABLED` | Enable cost-aware tier routing (Smart Inference) | `true` |
+
+#### Memory (long-term) & embeddings
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `MEMORY_ENABLED` | Enable mem0-backed long-term memory | `true` |
+| `VECTOR_STORE_PROVIDER` | Vector store backend | `qdrant` / `milvus` |
+| `EMBEDDER_PROVIDER` / `EMBEDDER_MODEL` | Embedding provider & model | `openai` / `text-embedding-3-small` |
+| `MEMORY_ISOLATION` | Scope of memory isolation | `user` / `agent` / `run` / `shared` |
+
+#### Sessions (short-term)
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `SESSION_ENABLED` | Enable Redis-backed conversation sessions | `true` |
+| `SESSION_REDIS_HOST` / `SESSION_REDIS_PORT` | Redis connection | `localhost` / `6380` |
+| `SESSION_TTL_SECONDS` | Session lifetime | `172800` |
+
+#### Observability (Langfuse)
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `LANGFUSE_ENABLED` | Enable tracing | `true` |
+| `LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY` / `LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY` | Langfuse credentials | `pk-…` / `sk-…` |
+| `LANGFUSE_HOST` | Langfuse endpoint | `http://localhost:3000` |
+
+#### Temporal (optional, durable workflows)
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `TEMPORAL_ENABLED` | Enable durable workflow orchestration | `false` |
+| `TEMPORAL_HOST` | Temporal frontend | `localhost:7233` |
+
+> Optional extras: `pip install -e ".[temporal]"` for Temporal, `".[eval]"` for evaluation, `".[embeddings]"` for local embeddings. See [`.env.template`](.env.template) for the complete, annotated reference.
+
+## 🧩 Components
