@robota-sdk/agents

The comprehensive AI agent framework with type-safe architecture and advanced plugin system.

Overview

The @robota-sdk/agents package is the unified core of the Robota SDK, providing a complete AI agent system with advanced capabilities for conversation management, tool execution, and extensible plugin architecture.

Installation

npm install @robota-sdk/agents

Quick Start

import { Robota } from '@robota-sdk/agents';
import { OpenAIProvider } from '@robota-sdk/openai';

const openaiProvider = new OpenAIProvider({ apiKey: 'sk-...' });

const agent = new Robota({
  name: 'MyAgent',
  aiProviders: [openaiProvider],
  defaultModel: {
    provider: 'openai',
    model: 'gpt-4',
    systemMessage: 'You are a helpful assistant.'
  }
});

const response = await agent.run('Hello, world!');
console.log(response);

Key Features

🤖 Agent System

• Type-Safe Architecture: Full TypeScript support with generic type parameters
• Robota Class: Complete AI agent implementation with conversation + tool system + plugin integration
• Stateless Service Layer: ConversationService, ToolExecutionService, ExecutionService for business logic
• Manager Layer: AIProviders, Tools, AgentFactory, Plugins, ConversationHistory for resource management
• Parallel Tool Execution: Concurrent multi-tool calling support

🌊 Streaming Response System

• Real-time Streaming: Full streaming support across all AI providers
• Modular Architecture: Separate streaming/parsing logic for each provider
• Provider Support: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google with dedicated stream handlers

🔧 Tool System

• Type-Safe Tools: BaseTool<TParameters, TResult> with compile-time type checking
• ToolRegistry: Schema storage and validation system
• Function Tools: Zod schema-based function tool implementation
• OpenAPI/MCP Support: Basic structure for extensibility

🔌 Plugin System

Eight core plugins with type-safe configuration and BasePluginOptions integration:

• ConversationHistoryPlugin: Comprehensive conversation storage with support for memory, file, and database backends. Features auto-save, batch processing, and configurable limits.
• UsagePlugin: Advanced usage analytics including token counting, cost calculation, aggregated statistics, and multiple storage strategies (memory/file/remote).
• LoggingPlugin: Multi-level logging system with console, file, and remote endpoints. Supports custom formatters, batch processing, and structured logging.
• PerformancePlugin: Real-time performance monitoring including execution time tracking, memory usage, CPU metrics, and customizable performance thresholds.
• ErrorHandlingPlugin: Robust error management with multiple strategies (simple, exponential-backoff, circuit-breaker, silent) and custom error handlers.
• LimitsPlugin: Advanced rate limiting with token bucket, sliding window, and fixed window strategies. Supports cost tracking and custom calculators.
• EventEmitterPlugin: Comprehensive event system with async/sync event handling, filtering, buffering, and lifecycle event tracking.
• WebhookPlugin: HTTP webhook notifications with batch processing, retry logic, custom transformers, and concurrent request management.

Plugin Features

• Type Safety: All plugins extend BasePluginOptions for consistent configuration
• Lifecycle Integration: Automatic integration with agent lifecycle events
• Resource Management: Built-in cleanup and resource optimization
• Performance Monitoring: All plugins include built-in statistics and monitoring
• Error Resilience: Graceful error handling across all plugin operations

Plugin Control and Configuration

• Clear Disable Options: Every plugin provides multiple ways to disable functionality
• No Arbitrary Decisions: Plugins avoid making policy decisions without explicit configuration
• Explicit Configuration: All automatic behaviors can be controlled through configuration
• Silent Modes: Most plugins support 'silent' strategies for performance-critical scenarios

// Complete plugin disable
const agent = new Robota({
  plugins: [] // No plugins
});

// Selective plugin disable
const agent = new Robota({
  plugins: [
    new LoggingPlugin({ strategy: 'silent', enabled: false }),
    new LimitsPlugin({ strategy: 'none' }),
    new UsagePlugin({ strategy: 'silent' })
  ]
});

Plugin Documentation

• Plugin Behaviors: Detailed documentation of all automatic behaviors and default policies
• Configuration Examples: Comprehensive examples for each plugin including disable options
• Best Practices: Guidelines for plugin configuration and performance optimization

🔒 Type Safety Features

• Generic Type Parameters: BaseAgent<TConfig, TContext, TMessage>
• Provider Agnostic: Dynamic provider registration with type safety
• Extended RunContext: Provider-specific options with type preservation
• Plugin Type Parameters: BasePlugin<TOptions, TStats> for specialized configurations
