Agent implementations using AbstractRuntime and AbstractCore

AbstractAgent

Agent patterns (ReAct / CodeAct / MemAct) built on AbstractRuntime (durable execution) and AbstractCore (tools + LLM integration).

AbstractAgent is part of the AbstractFramework ecosystem:

• AbstractFramework (ecosystem overview): https://github.com/lpalbou/AbstractFramework
• AbstractCore (providers + tool schemas): https://github.com/lpalbou/abstractcore
• AbstractRuntime (durable workflows + storage/ledger): https://github.com/lpalbou/abstractruntime

What you get

• ReAct: tool-first Reason → Act → Observe loop
• CodeAct: executes Python (tool call or fenced ```python``` blocks)
• MemAct: memory-enhanced agent using runtime-owned Active Memory
• Durable runs: pause/resume via run_id + runtime stores
• Tool control: explicit tool bundles + per-run allowlists
• Observability: durable ledger of LLM calls, tool calls, and waits

Where this lives in code (source of truth):

• Agents: src/abstractagent/agents/*
• Workflows/adapters: src/abstractagent/adapters/*_runtime.py
• Prompting/parsing logic (runtime-agnostic): src/abstractagent/logic/*
• Default tool bundle: src/abstractagent/tools/__init__.py

Requirements

• Python >=3.10 (see pyproject.toml)

Installation

From source (development):

pip install -e .

With dev dependencies:

pip install -e ".[dev]"

From PyPI:

pip install abstractagent

Native Python hardware profile cascades are available for deployment manifests: abstractagent[apple], abstractagent[gpu], abstractagent[all-apple], and abstractagent[all-gpu]. These delegate to the matching AbstractCore and AbstractRuntime profiles; AbstractAgent itself remains provider/runtime agnostic.

Note: the repository may be ahead of the latest published PyPI release. To verify what you installed:

python -c "import importlib.metadata as md; print(md.version('abstractagent'))"

Quick start (ReAct)

from abstractagent import create_react_agent

agent = create_react_agent(provider="ollama", model="qwen3:1.7b-q4_K_M")
agent.start("List the files in the current directory")
state = agent.run_to_completion()
print(state.output["answer"])

Persistence (resume across restarts)

By default, the factory helpers use an in-memory runtime store. For resume across process restarts, pass a persistent RunStore/LedgerStore (example below uses JSON files).

from abstractagent import create_react_agent
from abstractruntime.storage.json_files import JsonFileRunStore, JsonlLedgerStore

run_store = JsonFileRunStore(".runs")
ledger_store = JsonlLedgerStore(".runs")

agent = create_react_agent(run_store=run_store, ledger_store=ledger_store)
agent.start("Long running task")
agent.save_state("agent_state.json")

# ... later / after restart ...

agent2 = create_react_agent(run_store=run_store, ledger_store=ledger_store)
agent2.load_state("agent_state.json")
state = agent2.run_to_completion()
print(state.output["answer"])

More details: docs/persistence.md

CLI

This repository still installs a react-agent entrypoint, but it is deprecated and only prints a migration hint (see src/abstractagent/repl.py and pyproject.toml).

Interactive UX lives in AbstractCode.
