thinkagain 0.1.1

A minimal, debuggable agent framework for building explicit pipelines and computation graphs. ThinkAgain captures execution plans before they run so you can reason about complex control flow without hidden state.

Why ThinkAgain?

• Composable – Workers and graphs compose naturally with >> operator
• Transparent – Context carries state and execution history; graph.visualize() shows your pipeline
• Debuggable – Stream execution events, inspect history, and export plans as data
• Simple – Just Python classes; no DSLs or hidden orchestration layers
• Async-first – Native async support with sync wrappers when needed

Core Concepts

• Worker – Implement your logic; subclass and define __call__ or arun
• Graph – Connect workers with edges; supports routing and cycles
• Context – Dict-like container that flows through your pipeline, tracking history
• Executable – Base interface that enables >> composition

Installation

pip install thinkagain
# or with uv
uv add thinkagain

Quick Start

Sequential pipelines with the >> operator:

from thinkagain import Context, Worker

class Retriever(Worker):
    async def arun(self, ctx: Context) -> Context:
        ctx.documents = await self.search(ctx.query)
        return ctx

pipeline = Retriever() >> Reranker() >> Generator()
ctx = await pipeline.arun(Context(query="What is ML?"))
print(ctx.answer)

Graphs with routing and cycles:

from thinkagain import Graph, END

graph = Graph(name="self_correcting_rag")
graph.add_node("retrieve", Retriever())
graph.add_node("generate", Generator())
graph.add_node("critique", Critic())

graph.set_entry("retrieve")
graph.add_edge("retrieve", "generate")
graph.add_conditional_edge(
    "generate",
    route=lambda ctx: "done" if ctx.quality >= 0.8 else "critique",
    paths={"done": END, "critique": "critique"},
)
graph.add_edge("critique", "retrieve")  # retry loop

ctx = await graph.arun(Context(query="What is ML?"))

Decorator syntax for simple workers:

from thinkagain import async_worker

@async_worker
async def fetch(ctx: Context) -> Context:
    ctx.data = await ctx.client.get(ctx.url)
    return ctx

pipeline = fetch >> process

OpenAI-Compatible Server

Optional server with OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint:

pip install "thinkagain[serve]"
# or with uv
uv pip install -e ".[serve]"

# Start server
python -m thinkagain.serve.openai.serve_completion

See thinkagain/serve/README.md for details.
