haive.agents.base ================= .. py:module:: haive.agents.base .. autoapi-nested-parse:: Base Agent Module - Foundation for all Haive AI Agents. This module provides the core abstractions and base classes for building sophisticated AI agents in the Haive framework. It includes the fundamental Agent class along with essential mixins, hooks, and utilities that enable dynamic, self-modifying, and highly capable agent systems. The base agent system is designed around several key principles: - **Dynamic Adaptation**: Agents can modify their behavior at runtime - **Composable Architecture**: Mix and match capabilities through mixins - **Hook-Based Extensions**: Comprehensive lifecycle hooks for customization - **State Management**: Sophisticated state tracking and persistence - **Graph-Based Workflows**: LangGraph integration for complex agent flows Core Architecture: The base agent system consists of several key components working together: **Base Agent Class**: - Foundation class that all Haive agents inherit from - Provides core functionality like execution, state management, recompilation - Integrates with LangGraph for workflow orchestration - Supports dynamic tool addition and configuration changes **Mixin System**: - ExecutionMixin: Core execution capabilities and lifecycle management - StateMixin: State tracking, persistence, and recovery - PersistenceMixin: Database integration and checkpoint management - SerializationMixin: Agent serialization and deserialization - PrePostAgentMixin: Pre/post processing with agent transformation **Hook System**: - Comprehensive lifecycle hooks for every stage of agent execution - Pre/post processing hooks with message transformation - Reflection and grading hooks for quality control - Custom hook registration for specialized behaviors **Workflow Integration**: - Seamless LangGraph integration for complex workflows - Dynamic graph compilation and recompilation - State-aware graph construction - Multi-agent coordination support Key Components: **Core Classes**: - Agent: The foundational agent class with all base capabilities - Workflow: Base workflow class for pure orchestration (no LLM) -

AgentState: Base state schema with common fields Agent Capabilities: **Dynamic Behavior Modification**: - Runtime tool addition and removal - Configuration changes that trigger automatic recompilation - Behavior adaptation based on execution feedback - Self-modification capabilities through mixins **Comprehensive Hook System**: - PRE_RUN / POST_RUN: Execution lifecycle hooks - PRE_PROCESS / POST_PROCESS: Message processing hooks - PRE_REFLECTION / POST_REFLECTION: Quality control hooks - CUSTOM: User-defined hook points for specialized behaviors **State Management**: - Automatic state persistence and recovery - Checkpoint creation and restoration - State migration and versioning - Cross-agent state sharing **Multi-Agent Coordination**: - Agent-as-tool pattern for composition - Retriever tool creation from any agent - Shared state management across agent teams - Dynamic agent creation and management .. rubric:: Examples Basic agent creation and execution:: from haive.agents.base import Agent from haive.core.engine.aug_llm import AugLLMConfig class CustomAgent(Agent): def setup_agent(self): """Optional setup method for custom initialization.""" self.custom_data = {"initialized": True} def build_graph(self) -> BaseGraph: """Build the agent's workflow graph.""" from haive.core.graph.state_graph.base_graph2 import BaseGraph graph = BaseGraph() # Add nodes and edges for agent workflow graph.add_node("process", self.process_node) graph.set_entry_point("process") graph.set_finish_point("process") return graph def process_node(self, state): """Example processing node.""" return {"result": "Processed input"} # Create and configure agent agent = CustomAgent( name="custom_agent", engine=AugLLMConfig(temperature=0.7), ) # Execute agent result = await agent.arun({"input": "Hello, agent!"}) print(f"Result: {result}") Agent with hooks for monitoring and enhancement:: from haive.agents.base import Agent, HookEvent agent = Agent(name="monitored_agent", engine=config) # Add execution monitoring hooks @agent.add_hook(HookEvent.PRE_RUN) def log_execution_start(context): print(f"Starting execution for {context.agent_name}") context.start_time = time.time() @agent.add_hook(HookEvent.POST_RUN) def log_execution_end(context): duration = time.time() -
