ReAct plan-execute agent with memory
Project description
my-react-agent
A ReAct (Reason + Act) agent framework for Python with step-by-step traceability, evidence-first answering, and confidence-gated retries.
It plans a multi-step solution, executes each step via actions/tools, evaluates quality, and produces a final answer grounded in collected observations and evidence.
Why this project
LangChain and LlamaIndex are strong frameworks—but they’re optimised for different priorities:
- LangChain is an integration + composition system (chains, agents, tool wrappers, retrievers, many providers). It’s great when you want to assemble an app quickly from lots of building blocks.
- LlamaIndex is a data/RAG framework (ingestion, indexing, retrieval, routing, structured querying). It’s great when your core problem is “connect LLMs to your data” at scale.
my-react-agent exists for a different goal: a small, inspectable agent runtime where traceability, evidence and reliability are first-class — not optional add-ons.
What you get here that’s harder to guarantee in LangChain/LlamaIndex
-
Traceability as a core invariant (not a plugin / external service dependency)
Every step must produce a structured record: action decision → tool input/output → observation → evidence → confidence.
This makes debugging and evaluation predictable because the “paper trail” is built into the runtime. -
Evidence-first answering as a default design
The final answer is synthesised from collected observations +Evidenceobjects, making it straightforward to enforce “don’t invent facts” policies and to display citations/snippets in a consistent format. -
Confidence-gated retries with a controlled recovery loop
Low-confidence step results trigger a deterministic retry policy (switch action/tool, adjust input, or stop/clarify).
Many frameworks can evaluate, butmy-react-agenttreats step-level confidence as an orchestration primitive. -
Cleaner extension points for research/prototyping
Instead of customising a big graph of components, you can add a new behavior by implementing:- an
Action(LLM-visible selection rule + instructions) - an
ActionHandler(runtime execution)
This makes it easier to experiment with new “agent behaviors” (like GreetingAction, guardrails, special routing) without rewriting the core loop.
- an
When my-react-agent is the better choice
Use this project when you care most about:
- auditing (exactly what happened and why, step-by-step),
- reproducible debugging (structured traces you can log or test),
- grounded outputs (final answer constrained to collected evidence),
- reliability under uncertainty (confidence gating + retries),
- lightweight core (clear orchestration over large ecosystem complexity).
Key features
- Plan → Execute → Finalise pipeline
Creates a step plan, runs each step deterministically, then synthesises a final answer. - Explicit traceability
Step transcript + evidence pack per step (what happened, why, and what was found). - Evidence-first design
Uses structuredEvidenceobjects; final answer can be constrained to what was observed. - Confidence gating + retry loops
Evaluates each step (alignment/quality/realism) and retries when confidence is below threshold. - Pluggable tools
Tools are registered once and invoked through a single boundary (ToolExecutor/ tool interface). - Modular actions
Actions likeUSE_TOOL,ANSWER_BY_ITSELF,CLARIFY,STOP, andNEED_CONTEXTare isolated modules. - Memory
QueryMemory(per question) +ConversationMemory(cross-turn) for entities, steps, and observations. - Prompt registry
Centralised prompt management (PromptRegistry) with overridable defaults. - Plugin support
Optional runtime extension viaREACT_AGENT_PLUGINS.

QuickStart entrypoint for my_react_agent
What this script does (high level):
1) Configures logging (console + rotating log file)
2) Creates a PromptRegistry (the agent's prompt templates)
3) Creates a minimal Tool set (CalculatorTool) so the agent can take tool actions
4) Creates 4 LLM "roles" (planner/summariser/confidence/refiner) using Ollama
5) Builds a ReActAgent with standard action handlers + confidence assessors
6) Runs a simple CLI chat loop: you type -> agent plans -> agent executes -> prints trace
Requirements (before running):
- Install and start Ollama: https://ollama.com
- Pull the model used below (default: gemma3:4b):
ollama pull gemma3:4b
Run:
python -m evaluation.quickstart (or whatever module path is)

Architecture (precise)
High-level flow
-
Planning (planner LLM)
- Input: user question (+ optional conversation state)
- Output: one or more step tasks (plan)
-
Execution loop (per step)
- Select an action (e.g.
USE_TOOL,ANSWER_BY_ITSELF,CLARIFY,NEED_CONTEXT,STOP) - If tool is needed:
- Optional tool query refinement produces strict tool input
- Execute tool
- Save observation + evidence to memory
- Select an action (e.g.
-
Confidence assessment
- Parameter assessors score the step (e.g. entity alignment, answer quality, realism)
- If confidence < threshold → recovery loop chooses a better next action
-
Finalisation (summariser LLM)
- Synthesises a final answer from step observations/evidence.
Component map (modules and responsibilities)
Core orchestration
ReActAgent
Owns the plan/execute/finalise loop, action selection, retries, and memory writes.
Actions (step-level behaviours)
NeedContextAction
Resolves missing entities / pronouns using the entity extractor and memory.UseToolAction
Invokes exactly one tool (via the tool execution boundary), stores observation/evidence.AnswerByItselfAction
Uses LLM-only knowledge for stable facts (no tools).ClarifyAction
Asks a single clarification question when the step is underspecified.StopAction
Terminates after repeated failures or user cancellation.
Tools
AgentTool(interface/base class)
Tools implementexecute(tool_input: str) -> Evidence.ToolExecutor(execution boundary)
The only place where the agent invokes tools. Keeps tool I/O consistent and traceable.
Memory
QueryMemory
Per-question state: plan, step trace, transcript, observations.ConversationMemory
Cross-question state: extracted entities and references you want to persist.
Evidence
Evidence(structured record)
tool,content,url,extracteddict,as_of,confidence.
Confidence
- Parameter assessors (factory-driven)
Examples:EntityAlignmentAssessor,AnswerQualityAssessor,AnswerRealismAssessor.
Tool input refinement (ToolQueryRefiner)
- Before calling a tool, the agent converts current step's task into the exact tool input string expected by that tool. This is what prevents “LLM prose” from being fed into tools and standardizes tool calls.
- ToolQueryRefiner relies on AgentTool exposing a “refiner contract”. Tools can implement these properties to constrain/refine the model’s output:
refiner_instructions: str — tool-specific rules (“Return a normal search query…”, etc.)refiner_input_format: str — short format spec for expected inputrefiner_input_regex: Optional[str] — strict regex for allowed inputsrefiner_forbidden: str — explicit forbidden patternsrefiner_examples: str / get_examples() — optional examples to guide the refinerrefiner_max_chars: int — max tool input length (hard cap)
Prompts
PromptRegistry
Stores prompt templates for planning, refinement, confidence assessment, summarisation.
Plugins
- Loaded via
REACT_AGENT_PLUGINSenvironment variable
A plugin module exposesplugin.register(ctx)and can add tools/actions/assessors/prompts.
Adding a Custom Action
-
Adding a Custom Action (Example: GreetingAction)
-
Goal: If the user starts with a greeting (e.g., “hi”, “hello”, “good morning”), the agent should include a greeting back in the final answer.

Adding a Custom Tool
In my-react-agent, a tool is any component that implements the AgentTool interface:
- Input: a single
str(tool_input) - Output: an
Evidenceobject (structured, traceable, timestamped)
Tools are executed through a single boundary (ToolExecutor) and are typically triggered by the USE_TOOL action (via UseToolAction).
This section shows how to add a new tool: a tiny calculator that reads an image from disk and returns structured evidence.

2) Register it in `tools = {...}`

How the agent decides to call the tool
- The planner LLM sees each tool’s:
- name
- description
-
When it chooses USE_TOOL, it outputs a tool_name and the refiner produces tool_input.
-
To make a tool easier to select:
- Use a very specific description
- Provide strict refiner_instructions and refiner_input_regex
- Keep the input format simple (path:... question:...)
Adding a Custom ParameterAssessor (Example: RelevanceAssessor)
This section shows how to add a new ParameterAssessor to the confidence-gating system.
Goal: add a
RelevanceAssessorthat scores whether a step’s answer/tool-result is relevant to the step task (not just plausible).
In my-react-agent, confidence gating works like this:
- After a step runs, the agent creates step summary evidence (a short factual summary).
ConfidenceAssessor.assess_step_summary(...)runs all registered ParameterAssessors on:query_text= step taskanswer_text= step summary content
- It aggregates the per-assessor
ParameterRating.scorevalues into one confidence score. - If confidence is below threshold, the agent triggers a recovery loop (tries different actions/tools).
So, to add an assessor you must:
- Create a new class that extends
ParameterAssessor - Provide a
PromptId+ defaultPromptTemplate(so users don’t need to edit the framework) - Return a
ParameterRating(name, score, reason, meta) - Register it (either directly, via factory list, or via plugin)
from __future__ import annotations
"""
What this file does:
1) Define a new prompt_id string (we use a string constant for the demo).
2) Define a PromptTemplate for that id.
3) Implement RelevanceAssessor(ParameterAssessor) using that prompt.
4) Build ReActAgent with parameter_assessors=[RelevanceAssessor(...)].
5) Run and see confidence gating include assessor.
Run:
python main_custom_assessor_demo.py
Try:
Ask something that tempts the model to drift:
"Tell me about Apple, but focus only on iPhones."

Adding a Custom LLM Adapter (New LLMBase Implementation)
my-react-agent treats LLMs as pluggable adapters. Anything that implements the LLMBase interface can power the agent’s roles:
- planner_llm → creates step plans
- summariser_llm → synthesises step summaries + final answer
- confidence_llm → evaluates step quality/confidence (for retries)
- refiner_llm → turns (question + step task) into strict tool input
This section shows how to implement a new adapter and wire it into the agent, with an Ollama DeepSeek example.
