astropods-adapter-core 0.2.0

Framework-agnostic bridge between agent adapters and the Astropods messaging service

astropods-adapter-core

Framework-agnostic bridge between Python agents and the Astropods messaging service.

Installation

pip install astropods-adapter-core

Requires Python 3.10+.

Usage

If you're using a supported framework, use the pre-built adapter package instead (e.g. astropods-adapter-langchain). Use this package directly to connect a custom or unsupported framework.

Create a class with name, stream, and get_config, then call serve():

from astropods_adapter_core import StreamHooks, StreamOptions, serve

class MyAdapter:
    name = "My Agent"

    async def stream(self, prompt: str, hooks: StreamHooks, options: StreamOptions) -> None:
        try:
            hooks.on_chunk("Hello!")
            hooks.on_finish()
        except Exception as e:
            hooks.on_error(e)

    def get_config(self) -> dict:
        return {"system_prompt": "You are a helpful assistant.", "tools": []}

serve(MyAdapter())

serve() blocks until SIGINT or SIGTERM. Under ast dev, GRPC_SERVER_ADDR is injected automatically.

API

AgentAdapter protocol

Member	Description
name: str	Display name used in logs and registration
async stream(prompt, hooks, options)	Stream a response, invoking hooks as the agent progresses
get_config() -> dict	Return {"system_prompt": str, "tools": [...]} for playground display

StreamHooks

Call these inside stream() as the agent produces output:

Method	When to call
on_chunk(text)	Each text token or fragment from the LLM
on_status_update({"status": "..."})	Agent state change — valid values: THINKING, SEARCHING, GENERATING, PROCESSING, ANALYZING, CUSTOM
on_finish()	Response complete — call exactly once per request
on_error(exception)	Error occurred — call instead of on_finish

For CUSTOM status, include "custom_message" in the dict:

hooks.on_status_update({"status": "CUSTOM", "custom_message": "Fetching data..."})

StreamOptions

Per-request context passed to stream():

Field	Description
conversation_id	Stable ID for the conversation thread
user_id	ID of the user who sent the message

serve(adapter, options?)

Connects the adapter to the messaging service and blocks until shutdown.

from astropods_adapter_core import ServeOptions, serve

# Override the gRPC address (default: GRPC_SERVER_ADDR env var or localhost:9090)
serve(adapter, ServeOptions(server_address="astro-messaging:9090"))

MessagingBridge

serve() is a thin wrapper around MessagingBridge. Use it directly if you need lifecycle control:

import asyncio
from astropods_adapter_core import MessagingBridge

bridge = MessagingBridge(adapter)
asyncio.run(bridge.start())
