Core Design Patterns

Agent Factory Pattern
Centralized creation and configuration of specialized agents with consistent initialization, dependency injection, and lifecycle management.
Consistency Reusability Testability
Strategy Pattern for Tools
Interchangeable tool implementations allowing agents to switch between different execution strategies based on context, environment, or requirements.
Flexibility Extensibility Modularity
Observer Pattern for Events
Event-driven architecture enabling agents to react to system events, state changes, and external triggers with loose coupling and high responsiveness.
Decoupling Reactivity Scalability
Chain of Responsibility
Sequential processing pipeline where agents handle requests in order, with each agent deciding whether to process or pass to the next.
Pipeline Processing Error Handling Composability
Memento Pattern for State
State management and rollback capabilities allowing agents to save, restore, and manage conversation states and decision points.
State Management Rollback Debugging

Architecture Principles

Modularity & Separation of Concerns
Clear separation between reasoning, tool execution, memory management, and communication layers.
Example: Separate modules for LLM interaction, tool calling, and state persistence
Horizontal Scalability
Design for distributed deployment with stateless agents and external state management.
Example: Containerized agents with Redis for state and message queues for coordination
Security by Design
Built-in security controls, input validation, output sanitization, and access controls.
Example: Tool execution sandboxing, API key rotation, and audit logging
Graceful Degradation
Fallback mechanisms and error recovery to maintain functionality during failures.
Example: Fallback to simpler models, cached responses, or human handoff
Observability & Monitoring
Comprehensive logging, metrics, tracing, and debugging capabilities for production systems.
Example: Structured logging, performance metrics, and conversation tracing
