Core Patterns

ReAct Agent

Copy## Agent Configuration
You are an AI assistant with access to tools.

## Available Tools
[Tool list with descriptions]

## Behavior
1. Think about what to do
2. Take an action using a tool
3. Observe the result
4. Repeat until task complete

Plan-Execute Agent

Copy## Planning Phase
1. Analyze the task
2. Break into subtasks
3. Identify tools needed
4. Create execution plan

## Execution Phase
1. Execute each step
2. Validate results
3. Adjust if needed
4. Report completion

Tool Definition Template

Copytool:
  name: "tool_name"
  description: "When and why to use this tool"
  parameters:
    param1:
      type: string
      description: "What this parameter does"
      required: true
  returns: "Description of return value"
  errors:
    - "ERROR_TYPE: How to handle"

Memory Patterns

Copymemory_types:
  working_memory:
    scope: current_conversation
    implementation: context_window

  long_term_memory:
    scope: persistent
    implementation: vector_store

  episodic_memory:
    scope: experience_based
    implementation: structured_logs
