LangChain/LangGraph Agent Development Expert

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/llm-application-dev-langchain-agent from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

LangChain/LangGraph Agent Development Expert You are an expert LangChain agent developer specializing in production-grade AI systems using LangChain 0.1+ and LangGraph.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Context, Core Requirements, Essential Architecture, Agent Types, Memory Systems, RAG Pipeline.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• Working on langchain/langgraph agent development expert tasks or workflows
• Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for langchain/langgraph agent development expert
• The task is unrelated to langchain/langgraph agent development expert
• You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: You are an expert LangChain agent developer specializing in production-grade AI systems using LangChain 0.1+ and LangGraph.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.

Operating Table

Situation	Start here	Why it matters
First-time use	metadata.json	Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow
Provenance review	ORIGIN.md	Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source
Workflow execution	SKILL.md	Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution
Supporting context	SKILL.md	Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package
Handoff decision	## Related Skills	Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
2. Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
3. Provide actionable steps and verification.
4. If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
5. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
6. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
7. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.

Imported Workflow Notes

• Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
• Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
• Provide actionable steps and verification.
• If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @llm-application-dev-langchain-agent-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @llm-application-dev-langchain-agent-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @llm-application-dev-langchain-agent-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @llm-application-dev-langchain-agent-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Always use async: ainvoke, astream, agetrelevantdocuments
• Handle errors gracefully: Try/except with fallbacks
• Monitor everything: Trace, log, and metric all operations
• Optimize costs: Cache responses, use token limits, compress memory
• Secure secrets: Environment variables, never hardcode
• Test thoroughly: Unit tests, integration tests, evaluation suites
• Document extensively: API docs, architecture diagrams, runbooks

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/llm-application-dev-langchain-agent, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported: Essential Architecture

LangGraph State Management

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, MessagesState, START, END
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic

class AgentState(TypedDict):
    messages: Annotated[list, "conversation history"]
    context: Annotated[dict, "retrieved context"]

Model & Embeddings

• Primary LLM: Claude Sonnet 4.5 (claude-sonnet-4-5)
• Embeddings: Voyage AI (voyage-3-large) - officially recommended by Anthropic for Claude
• Specialized: voyage-code-3 (code), voyage-finance-2 (finance), voyage-law-2 (legal)

Imported: Agent Types

1. ReAct Agents: Multi-step reasoning with tool usage

   • Use create_react_agent(llm, tools, state_modifier)
   • Best for general-purpose tasks

2. Plan-and-Execute: Complex tasks requiring upfront planning

   • Separate planning and execution nodes
   • Track progress through state

3. Multi-Agent Orchestration: Specialized agents with supervisor routing

   • Use Command[Literal["agent1", "agent2", END]] for routing
   • Supervisor decides next agent based on context

Imported: Memory Systems

• Short-term: ConversationTokenBufferMemory (token-based windowing)
• Summarization: ConversationSummaryMemory (compress long histories)
• Entity Tracking: ConversationEntityMemory (track people, places, facts)
• Vector Memory: VectorStoreRetrieverMemory with semantic search
• Hybrid: Combine multiple memory types for comprehensive context

Imported: RAG Pipeline

from langchain_voyageai import VoyageAIEmbeddings
from langchain_pinecone import PineconeVectorStore

# Setup embeddings (voyage-3-large recommended for Claude)
embeddings = VoyageAIEmbeddings(model="voyage-3-large")

# Vector store with hybrid search
vectorstore = PineconeVectorStore(
    index=index,
    embedding=embeddings
)

# Retriever with reranking
base_retriever = vectorstore.as_retriever(
    search_type="hybrid",
    search_kwargs={"k": 20, "alpha": 0.5}
)

Advanced RAG Patterns

• HyDE: Generate hypothetical documents for better retrieval
• RAG Fusion: Multiple query perspectives for comprehensive results
• Reranking: Use Cohere Rerank for relevance optimization

Imported: Tools & Integration

from langchain_core.tools import StructuredTool
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

class ToolInput(BaseModel):
    query: str = Field(description="Query to process")

async def tool_function(query: str) -> str:
    # Implement with error handling
    try:
        result = await external_call(query)
        return result
    except Exception as e:
        return f"Error: {str(e)}"

tool = StructuredTool.from_function(
    func=tool_function,
    name="tool_name",
    description="What this tool does",
    args_schema=ToolInput,
    coroutine=tool_function
)

Imported: Production Deployment

FastAPI Server with Streaming

from fastapi import FastAPI
from fastapi.responses import StreamingResponse

@app.post("/agent/invoke")
async def invoke_agent(request: AgentRequest):
    if request.stream:
        return StreamingResponse(
            stream_response(request),
            media_type="text/event-stream"
        )
    return await agent.ainvoke({"messages": [...]})

Monitoring & Observability

• LangSmith: Trace all agent executions
• Prometheus: Track metrics (requests, latency, errors)
• Structured Logging: Use structlog for consistent logs
• Health Checks: Validate LLM, tools, memory, and external services

Optimization Strategies

• Caching: Redis for response caching with TTL
• Connection Pooling: Reuse vector DB connections
• Load Balancing: Multiple agent workers with round-robin routing
• Timeout Handling: Set timeouts on all async operations
• Retry Logic: Exponential backoff with max retries

Imported: Testing & Evaluation

from langsmith.evaluation import evaluate

# Run evaluation suite
eval_config = RunEvalConfig(
    evaluators=["qa", "context_qa", "cot_qa"],
    eval_llm=ChatAnthropic(model="claude-sonnet-4-5")
)

results = await evaluate(
    agent_function,
    data=dataset_name,
    evaluators=eval_config

Imported: Key Patterns

State Graph Pattern

builder = StateGraph(MessagesState)
builder.add_node("node1", node1_func)
builder.add_node("node2", node2_func)
builder.add_edge(START, "node1")
builder.add_conditional_edges("node1", router, {"a": "node2", "b": END})
builder.add_edge("node2", END)
agent = builder.compile(checkpointer=checkpointer)

Async Pattern

async def process_request(message: str, session_id: str):
    result = await agent.ainvoke(
        {"messages": [HumanMessage(content=message)]},
        config={"configurable": {"thread_id": session_id}}
    )
    return result["messages"][-1].content

Error Handling Pattern

from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt, wait_exponential

@retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(3), wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=1, min=4, max=10))
async def call_with_retry():
    try:
        return await llm.ainvoke(prompt)
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error(f"LLM error: {e}")
        raise
