Primitives

Primitives are the fundamental building blocks that can be shared and composed within the system. They serve as the foundation for creating complex agent-based systems and workflows.

Tools

Tools are atomic units of functionality that agents can use to perform specific actions. They provide a standardized interface for interacting with various capabilities, such as:

  • File operations
  • API calls
  • Data processing
  • External service integrations

Agents

Agents are autonomous entities that can use tools and make decisions. They are:

  • Instructions - Define the agent's behavior and expertise
  • Tools - Capabilities available to the agent
  • Experts - Domain/scope of operation

Tasks

Tasks represent what/who needs to be accomplished. They contain:

  • Objective - Clear goal to achieve
  • Instructions - How to accomplish the goal
  • Tools - Required capabilities
  • Experts - Required domain knowledge

Toolkits

Toolkits are collections of related tools that work together to provide broader functionality. They:

  • Group related tools logically (e.g., Twitter operations)
  • Provide consistent interfaces
  • Can be shared and reused
  • Enable modular capability extension

Memory

Memory systems allow agents to:

  • Store and retrieve information
  • Maintain context across interactions
  • Learn from past experiences
  • Share knowledge with other agents

History

History tracking provides:

  • Record of past actions and decisions
  • Audit trails for debugging
  • Learning opportunities
  • Performance analysis data

Flows

Flows define the logic for running a task or set of tasks. They:

  • Orchestrate multiple agents
  • Define task sequences
  • Handle data passing between components
  • Manage error handling and recovery
