name: agentflow description: Expert guidance for building, debugging, and extending applications with AgentFlow (10xscale-agentflow). TRIGGER when: code imports from agentflow (e.g. from agentflow import, StateGraph, Agent, ToolNode, AgentState); user references agentflow.json or CLI commands (agentflow init, agentflow api, agentflow play, agentflow build, agentflow skills); user is building graph-based multi-agent workflows, tools, memory, checkpointing, or streaming with this framework. SKIP: generic Python or multi-agent questions not referencing agentflow; other frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen) unless comparing.

Agentflow Project Skill

Use this skill when working in an Agentflow project. Agentflow is a multi-agent framework that wraps official OpenAI and Google SDK capabilities behind a unified graph, agent, tool, state, storage, API, CLI, and TypeScript client interface.

Treat https://agentflow.10xscale.ai/ as the first source of truth for public package names, install commands, and user-facing behavior. Use implementation source after the docs establish the intended API.

Workflow

1. Identify the published package or docs surface involved:

   • PyPI core Python SDK: 10xscale-agentflow (pip install 10xscale-agentflow), source at https://github.com/10xHub/Agentflow/tree/main/agentflow/agentflow
   • PyPI API/CLI SDK: 10xscale-agentflow-cli (pip install 10xscale-agentflow-cli), source at https://github.com/10xHub/Agentflow/tree/main/agentflow-api/agentflow_cli
   • npm TypeScript SDK: @10xscale/agentflow-client (npm install @10xscale/agentflow-client), source at https://github.com/10xHub/Agentflow/tree/main/agentflow-client/src
   • Main docs: https://agentflow.10xscale.ai/
   • Playground/UI: agentflow play command after installed cli

2. Read the matching reference file before changing behavior:

   • Evaluation framework (EvalSet, criteria, AgentEvaluator, QuickEval, UserSimulator, agentflow eval): .agents/skills/agentflow/references/evaluation.md
   • Testing helpers overview: .agents/skills/agentflow/references/testing-and-evaluation.md

3. Prefer existing Agentflow abstractions over new custom wiring:

   • Build workflows with StateGraph, Agent, ToolNode, AgentState, and Message.
   • Use prebuilt agents (ReactAgent, PlanActReflectAgent, StructuredOutputAgent, SupervisorTeamAgent, SwarmAgent, RAGAgent) for common patterns before hand-writing graph loops.
   • Persist conversation state with checkpointers; use stores only for cross-thread memory.
   • Put business services in InjectQ instead of global variables.
   • Keep API/CLI graph modules storage-agnostic and wire dependencies through agentflow.json.

4. Verify against source when implementation details matter. Public names and expected behavior should match https://agentflow.10xscale.ai/; source under https://github.com/10xHub/Agentflow (core), https://github.com/10xHub/agentflow-cli (API/CLI), and https://github.com/10xHub/agentflow-client (TypeScript) explains how that behavior is implemented.

Local Conventions

• A compiled graph is normally loaded once by the API server and reused per request.
• Public package naming matters: use 10xscale-agentflow, 10xscale-agentflow-cli, and @10xscale/agentflow-client in user-facing docs and examples, not repository folder names.
• Every persisted interaction should include config.thread_id.
• Tools need docstrings and type annotations so model-facing schemas are useful.
• Injectable tool and node parameters (state, config, tool_call_id) are hidden from the model schema.
• For production, avoid process-local storage for shared state; use durable checkpointer/store backends.
• Add observability or audit side effects by registering a GraphLifecycleHook on CallbackManager — do not wrap ainvoke() / astream() calls in application code to achieve the same result.
• reasoning_config is on by default at medium effort; disable explicitly with reasoning_config=None when not needed.
• Provider is auto-detected from the model name; use base_url for third-party OpenAI-compatible APIs (Ollama, DeepSeek, OpenRouter).
