agenarc 0.6.1

Directed-graph Agent Orchestration Engine

AgenArc

Directed-Graph Agent Orchestration Engine

---

Philosophy

"Mechanism and Strategy Separation"

Layer	Role
Kernel	Ultra-stable scheduler — secure execution, resource validation, VFS sandbox
Self-repair	Built by users within the graph flow — evolve agents without touching the engine
Asset boundary	agrc:// virtual protocol — files, scripts, and prompts live in isolated bundles

Features

Category	Highlights
Execution	Linear & parallel & async modes, Router (conditional branching), Join (branch sync), CheckpointManager
LLM	Streaming responses, multi-provider fallback, structured error classification
Scripting	Script_Node with AST-safe evaluator (3 trust levels), gas & memory limits
Packaging	.agrc self-contained bundles — JSON protocol + prompts + scripts + plugins in one ZIP
VFS	agrc:// virtual filesystem with rwx permissions, path-traversal protection
Plugins	Python / C++ / External loaders, hot-reload (file watching), event plugins
Visualization	Web IDE — drag-and-drop graph editor, real-time execution preview, YAML context panel
CLI	run / shell / serve / validate / info / pack / visualize

Node Types

Node	Description	Input → Output
Trigger	Entry point	payload → graph
LLM_Task	LLM inference (streaming + fallback)	messages → response, usage, error
Router	Conditional branching (all matches execute in parallel)	input → dynamic output ports
Join	Synchronize parallel branches (merge / concat / first)	dynamic → output
Memory_I/O	Persistent key-value storage (transactional + checkpoint)	key, value → value, success
Script_Node	Inline Python with AST safety (3 trust levels)	arbitrary → result
Prompt_Builder	Multi-turn conversation history management	user / assistant → messages
Log	Log and pass-through	message → message
Context_Set	Set global context values	key, value → success
Context_Get	Read global context values	key → value
Asset_Reader	Read files from bundle via VFS	path → content, success
Asset_Writer	Write files with atomic operations	path, content → success
Runtime_Reload	Hot reload scripts and plugins at runtime	target → success

---

Quick Start

pip install agenarc

# Run a chat agent
agenarc run examples/my_first_agent.agrc --input '{"payload":"Hello!"}'

# Interactive REPL
agenarc shell examples/my_first_agent.agrc

# Background service with plugins
agenarc serve examples/euchea.agrc

# Web-based graph editor
agenarc visualize examples/my_first_agent.agrc

Examples

Agent	Description
my_first_agent.agrc	Multi-turn chat — Trigger → Prompt_Builder → LLM_Task
qq_bot_agent.agrc	QQ bot with event plugin (serve mode)
euchea.agrc	PDF → C++ code generation via Alt+A hotkey (serve mode)
