kiva-sdk 0.1.1

A multi-agent orchestration SDK for building intelligent workflows

Kiva SDK

A multi-agent orchestration SDK for building intelligent workflows

Features

• Three Workflow Patterns: Router (simple), Supervisor (parallel), and Parliament (deliberative)
• Automatic Complexity Analysis: Intelligent workflow selection based on task complexity
• Streaming Events: Real-time execution monitoring with structured events
• Rich Console Output: Beautiful terminal visualization (optional)
• Error Recovery: Built-in error handling with recovery suggestions
• Flexible API Levels: High-level client, mid-level console, and low-level streaming

Installation

uv add kiva-sdk

Quick Start

High-Level API (Simplest)

from kiva import Kiva

kiva = Kiva(
    base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1",
    api_key="your-api-key",
    model="gpt-4o",
)

# Single-tool agent using decorator
@kiva.agent("weather", "Gets weather information")
def get_weather(city: str) -> str:
    """Get current weather for a city."""
    return f"Sunny, 25°C in {city}"

# Multi-tool agent using class decorator
@kiva.agent("math", "Performs calculations")
class MathTools:
    def add(self, a: int, b: int) -> int:
        """Add two numbers."""
        return a + b
    
    def multiply(self, a: int, b: int) -> int:
        """Multiply two numbers."""
        return a * b

# Run with rich console output
kiva.run("What's the weather in Tokyo? Also calculate 15 * 8")

Mid-Level API (Async with Console)

import asyncio
from kiva import run_with_console, create_agent, ChatOpenAI, tool

@tool
def search(query: str) -> str:
    """Search for information."""
    return f"Results for: {query}"

async def main():
    model = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o", api_key="...")
    agent = create_agent(model=model, tools=[search])
    agent.name = "search_agent"
    agent.description = "Searches for information"
    
    await run_with_console(
        prompt="Search for Python tutorials",
        agents=[agent],
        base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1",
        api_key="your-api-key",
        model_name="gpt-4o",
    )

asyncio.run(main())

Low-Level API (Full Control)

import asyncio
from kiva import run, create_agent, ChatOpenAI, tool

@tool
def calculate(expr: str) -> str:
    """Evaluate a math expression."""
    return str(eval(expr))

async def main():
    model = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o", api_key="...")
    agent = create_agent(model=model, tools=[calculate])
    agent.name = "calculator"
    agent.description = "Performs calculations"
    
    async for event in run(
        prompt="Calculate 100 / 4",
        agents=[agent],
        base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1",
        api_key="your-api-key",
        model_name="gpt-4o",
    ):
        match event.type:
            case "token":
                print(event.data["content"], end="", flush=True)
            case "workflow_selected":
                print(f"\nWorkflow: {event.data['workflow']}")
            case "agent_start":
                print(f"\nAgent started: {event.data.get('agent_id')}")
            case "agent_end":
                print(f"\nAgent finished")
            case "final_result":
                print(f"\n\nResult: {event.data['result']}")

asyncio.run(main())

Workflow Patterns

Router Workflow

Routes tasks to a single most appropriate agent. Best for simple, single-domain queries.

Supervisor Workflow

Coordinates multiple agents executing in parallel. Ideal for multi-faceted tasks that can be decomposed into independent subtasks.

Parliament Workflow

Implements iterative deliberation with conflict resolution. Designed for complex reasoning tasks requiring consensus or validation.

Event Types

Event	Description
token	Streaming token from LLM
workflow_selected	Workflow and complexity determined
parallel_start	Parallel agent execution started
agent_start	Individual agent started
agent_end	Individual agent completed
parallel_complete	All parallel agents finished
final_result	Final synthesized result
error	Error occurred

Configuration

async for event in run(
    prompt="Your task",
    agents=agents,
    model_name="gpt-4o",           # Lead agent model
    api_key="...",                  # API key
    base_url="...",                 # API base URL
    workflow_override="supervisor", # Force specific workflow
    max_iterations=10,              # Parliament max iterations
    max_parallel_agents=5,          # Max concurrent agents
):
    ...
