Phase 1: MVP and SDK backbone

Backbone Architecture

• Node-Based Architecture (Agent as a node)
  • Object schema definition
  • Node wrapper SDK
  • Shared memory access
  • Default monitoring hooks
  • Tool access layer
  • LLM integration layer (Natively supports all mainstream LLMs through LiteLLM)
• Communication protocol between nodes
• [Coding Agent] Goal Creation Session
  • Instruction back and forth
  • Goal Object schema definition
  • Being able to generate the test cases
• [Coding Agent] Worker Agent Creation
  • Coding Agent tools
  • Use Template Agent as a start

Essential Tools

• File Use
• Memory Tools
  • STM Layer Tool (state-based short-term memory)
  • LTM Layer Tool (RLM - long-term memory)
• Infrastructure Tools
  • Runtime Log Tool (logs for coding agent)
  • Audit Trail Tool (decision timeline generation)

Memory & File System

• DB for long-term persistent memory (Filesystem as durable scratchpad pattern)
• Session Local memory isolation

Basic Eval System

• Test Driven
• Failure recording mechanism
• SDK for defining failure conditions
• Basic observability hooks
• User-driven log analysis (OSS approach)

Data Validation

• Natively Support data validation of LLMs output with Pydantic

Developer Experience (MVP)

• Documentation
  • Quick start guide
  • Goal creation guide
  • Agent creation guide
• Distribution
  • PyPI package
  • Docker image on Docker Hub

Sample Agents

• Knowledge Agent
• Blog Writer Agent
• SDR Agent

Phase 2: Post-MVP & Scaling

Basic Guardrails

• Support Basic Monitoring from Agent node SDK
• SDK guardrail implementation (in node)
• Guardrail type support (Determined Condition as Guardrails)

Agent Capability

• Streaming mode support

Cross-Platform

• Javascript / TypeScript Version SDK

File System Enhancement

• Semantic Search integration
• Interactive File System in product (frontend integration)

More Worker Tools

• Custom Tool Integrator
• Integration as a tool (Credential Store & Support)
• Core Agent Tools
  • Node Discovery Tool
  • HITL Tool (pause execution for human approval)
  • Wake-up Tool (resume agent tasks)

Deployment (Self-Hosted)

• Docker container standardization
• Headless backend execution
• Exposed API for frontend attachment
• Local monitoring & observability (from hive repo)
• Basic lifecycle APIs (Start, Stop, Pause, Resume)

Deployment (Cloud)

• Cloud Service Options
• Support deployment to 3rd-party platforms
• Self-deploy + orchestrator connection
• CI/CD Pipeline
  • Automated test execution
  • Agent version control
  • All tests must pass for deployment

Developer Experience Enhancement

• Detailed Tool usage documentation
• Recipe for common agent use cases
• Discord Support Channel

More Agent Templates

• GTM Sales Agent (workflow)
• GTM Marketing Agent (workflow)
• Analytics Agent
• Training Agent
• Smart Entry / Form Agent (self-evolution emphasis)
