Agent Architectures

| Architecture | Strengths | Use Case | |-------------|-----------|----------| | ReAct | Simple, effective | General tasks | | Plan-Execute | Structured approach | Complex multi-step | | Reflexion | Self-improvement | Learning tasks | | Multi-Agent | Specialization | Large systems |

Core Patterns

ReAct Agent

## Agent Configuration
You are an AI assistant with access to tools.

## Available Tools
[Tool list with descriptions]

## Behavior
1. Think about what to do
2. Take an action using a tool
3. Observe the result
4. Repeat until task complete

Plan-Execute Agent

## Planning Phase
1. Analyze the task
2. Break into subtasks
3. Identify tools needed
4. Create execution plan

## Execution Phase
1. Execute each step
2. Validate results
3. Adjust if needed
4. Report completion

Tool Definition Template

tool:
  name: "tool_name"
  description: "When and why to use this tool"
  parameters:
    param1:
      type: string
      description: "What this parameter does"
      required: true
  returns: "Description of return value"
  errors:
    - "ERROR_TYPE: How to handle"

Memory Patterns

memory_types:
  working_memory:
    scope: current_conversation
    implementation: context_window

  long_term_memory:
    scope: persistent
    implementation: vector_store

  episodic_memory:
    scope: experience_based
    implementation: structured_logs

Troubleshooting

| Issue | Cause | Solution | |-------|-------|----------| | Wrong tool | Vague descriptions | Improve descriptions | | Loops forever | No exit condition | Add max iterations | | Forgets context | Memory overflow | Summarize periodically | | Poor planning | Complex task | Add decomposition step |
