Lightweight, Modular Agent Framework for AI planning, tools, and memory

Project description

Agentik – Modular Agentic AI Framework for Python

A lightweight, modern, and pluggable Python framework to build AI agents with reasoning, memory, tool-use, and LLM backend support — designed to be minimal, extensible, and developer-friendly.

What is Agentik?

Agentik is a Python framework to create intelligent agents that can reason, plan, act, and reflect using LLMs such as OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, (via OpenRouter) or your own local model.

Agentik abstracts complexity while remaining highly modular and configurable.

Key Highlights:

  • LLM plugin support (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, etc.)
  • Multiple memory types (in-memory dict, JSON, vector-based)
  • Tool integration (web search, calculator, file reader, etc.)
  • Configuration via YAML or Python
  • Command-line interface (CLI) for launching/debugging
  • API-key agnostic: the user supplies their own keys

Features

  • Define agents in Python or YAML
  • Core reasoning loop: plan → act → reflect → iterate
  • Extendable tool and memory systems
  • Streaming, retry logic, and debug logging supported
  • Built-in CLI powered by Typer
  • Lightweight, extensible, and transparent by design

Agent Workflow

::

[User Prompt] 
    ↓
[Agent.run(prompt)]
    ↓
[Plan Step] → Uses LLM to decide next action/tool
    ↓
[Act Step] → Executes selected tool or memory
    ↓
[Reflect Step] → Evaluates and stores output in memory
    ↓
[Repeat or Finish]

Installation

Requires Python 3.10+

Install via pip:

::

pip install agentik-framework

Usage

Create an Agent in Python:

::

from agentik import Agent
from agentik.tools import WebSearchTool, CalculatorTool
from agentik.llms import OpenAIModel
from agentik.memory import JSONMemoryStore

agent = Agent(
    name="AIAssistant",
    goal="Find and summarize the latest AI trends.",
    tools=[WebSearchTool(), CalculatorTool()],
    llm=OpenAIModel(api_key="your-api-key", model="gpt-4"),
    memory=JSONMemoryStore("memory.json")
)

agent.run("What's the latest in AI agent frameworks?")

Or define the same agent in YAML (configs/agent.yaml):

::

name: "ResearchBot"
goal: "Summarize recent advancements in generative AI"
llm:
  type: openai
  model: gpt-4
  api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"
tools:
  - web_search
  - file_reader
memory:
  type: json
  path: "memory.json"

Entrypoints

You can run agents via Python or CLI:

  1. Python

::

from agentik.config import load_agent_config
agent = load_agent_config("configs/my_agent.yaml")
agent.run("What are LLM agents?")
  1. Command Line

::

agentik run configs/my_agent.yaml --verbose

Supported LLMs

Agentik currently supports:

  • OpenAI (via OpenRouter)
  • Mistral (via OpenRouter)
  • Claude (via OpenRouter)
  • DeepSeek (via OpenRouter)
  • Local LLMs (via REST API)

All LLMs are configured via llms.py, and keys are user-supplied.

Built-in Tools

================= ================================================ Tool Name Description


CalculatorTool Evaluate mathematical expressions WebSearchTool Search the web via DuckDuckGo or SerpAPI FileReaderTool Read .txt or .md files JsonTool Navigate and query structured JSON files ================= ================================================

To build custom tools, subclass Tool and implement the run(input) method.

Code Organization

====================== ============================================= File Purpose


agent.py Core agent logic (plan-act-reflect loop) llms.py Add your own LLM classes if needed memory.py Extend memory backends tools/ Define custom tools here config.py YAML/JSON config validation (pydantic-based) cli.py CLI logic via typer examples/ Place demo or prototype agents configs/ Store agent configuration files ====================== =============================================

Testing

Run all tests using pytest:

::

pytest tests/

You may mock LLM responses and test memory and tool functions.

CLI Commands

::

agentik run configs/my_agent.yaml
agentik list-tools
agentik create-agent
agentik explain memory

Flags:

  • --verbose : Show step-by-step logs
  • --dry-run : Run agent logic without real API calls

Documentation

  • Documentation is located in the docs/ folder (optional)
  • Can be hosted on GitHub Pages or similar
  • Includes: Getting Started, API Reference, Tool Developer Guide

Contributing

We welcome contributions of tools, backends, and examples!

  1. Fork the repository
  2. Create your new tool or memory backend
  3. Add tests to tests/
  4. Submit a pull request with a clear explanation

Packaging for PyPI

::

python -m build
twine upload dist/*

Philosophy

Agentik provides the scaffolding — you bring the logic.

It doesn’t aim to be monolithic. Instead, Agentik helps you build modular, intelligent workflows tailored to your own agent needs.

Build smart. Stay lightweight. Go modular.
