Features

• 🚀 5-minute setup - Get started with minimal code
• 🔍 Fully observable - Track every thought, action, and observation
• 💰 Cost transparent - Real-time token usage and cost tracking
• 🛠 Easy customization - Define tools with simple decorators
• 🔄 Loop detection - Automatic detection of stuck agents
• 📦 Zero dependencies core - Minimal dependencies for maximum flexibility

Installation

pip install reactflow

Quick Start

Basic Usage

from reactflow import Agent, Tool

# Define a custom tool
@Tool.define
def search(query: str) -> str:
    """Search for information"""
    return f"Results for: {query}"

# Create an agent
agent = Agent(tools=[search])

# Run a task
result = agent.run("What is the capital of France?")
print(result.answer)

CLI Usage

# Run a single task
reactflow run "Calculate 25 * 17"

# Start interactive mode
reactflow interactive

# Export trajectory
reactflow run "What is Python?" --export trajectory.json

Built-in Tools

ReActFlow comes with several built-in tools:

Tool	Description
search	Search for information
calculator	Evaluate mathematical expressions
datetime	Get current date and time
text_analyzer	Analyze text in various ways

Custom Tools

Create custom tools easily:

from reactflow import Tool

@Tool.define
def my_tool(query: str, count: int = 5) -> str:
    """
    My custom tool description.

    Args:
        query: The search query
        count: Number of results

    Returns:
        The result string
    """
    return f"Found {count} results for '{query}'"

# Use it
agent = Agent(tools=[my_tool])

Tracking Execution

Every execution generates a complete trajectory:

result = agent.run("What is 2+2?")

# Get the trajectory
trajectory = agent.get_trajectory()

# Export as Markdown
trajectory.export("my_trajectory.md", format="markdown")

# Or as JSON
trajectory.export("my_trajectory.json", format="json")

Configuration

agent = Agent(
    tools=[search, calculator],
    model="gpt-4",           # LLM model
    max_steps=10,            # Maximum reasoning steps
    debug=True,              # Enable debug output
    temperature=0.7,         # LLM temperature
)
