Source Walkthrough: Build a Minimal ReAct Agent by Hand

The best way to understand an Agent is to build a minimal one yourself. This under-100-line TypeScript implementation explains the ReAct (Thought → Action → Observation) loop, tool calls, stopping conditions, and error recovery.

Tool Calling Failure Taxonomy: Stop Blaming Every Failure on the Model

Tool-call failures can originate in selection, arguments, authorization, dependencies, state, or user confirmation. This article provides an actionable taxonomy and metric design to turn vague Agent errors into fixable engineering problems.

Hands-On: Build a Multi-Step Research Agent with LangGraph

Deep research—one question, multiple search rounds, and a synthesized report—is one of the most valuable agent use cases and cannot be solved by single-pass RAG. This article builds a LangGraph research agent that decomposes questions, searches in parallel, reads full text, fills gaps, and writes a report while explaining state graphs, tool calls, and loop

Tool Result Schema Evolution: Producer and Active Consumer Compatibility Matrix

Passing the latest validator does not mean legacy Agents, renderers, and audit jobs still in production can read a new result. This article combines producer revisions, the real consumer set, decoding proofs, and representation routing into a compatibility gate purpose-built for tool results.

How to Test an Agent

Testing agents is harder than ordinary software—non-deterministic, multi-step, with external tools. This article gives a layered strategy: unit tests for tools, integration for end-to-end, evaluation sets for quality, chaos for fault tolerance, plus trace reproduction and regression. Turn "launching on luck" into "launching with confidence".

LangChain vs. LangGraph vs. LlamaIndex: Choosing an Agent/RAG Framework

AI framework choices are unavoidable, but LangChain, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex are often complementary, not competitors. This article maps their roles: full-stack glue, agent orchestration, and data/RAG; explains how to choose; and covers an underrated option: using no framework and writing it yourself.

Agent Concurrency and Scheduling

A single Agent working doesn't mean it can serve multiple users and tasks. This article clarifies the concurrency model (per-request Agent vs Agent pool), resource management (model API concurrency limits / tool concurrency), scheduling (priority / queue / rate limiting), and multi-user state isolation, pushing the Agent from a "single-threaded demo" to a "traffic-bearing service".

Prompt Chaining and Multi-Step Workflow Orchestration

Complex tasks often need multiple LLM calls, but deciding how to split the chain, pass intermediate results, and recover from errors is an engineering problem. This article covers sequential, parallel, routing, and loop patterns; when to use chains versus Agents; state management; and cost-quality tradeoffs.

Agentic Browser Automation in Practice

Letting an Agent open a browser, click pages, scrape data, and fill forms—agentic browsing is a high-value AI automation scenario and a deep engineering challenge. Covers architecture (Playwright/Puppeteer + vision models), operation modes (coordinate clicks vs.
