Graph + Sub-Agents

Example

Combine Graph workflows with Sub-Agent coordination for sophisticated hierarchical task distribution.

Quick Start

Clone the Complete Example

The easiest way to get started is to clone the complete example repository:

git clone https://github.com/astreus-ai/graph-sub-agents
cd graph-sub-agents
npm install

Or Install Package Only

If you prefer to build from scratch:

npm install @astreus-ai/astreus

Environment Setup

# .env
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-api-key-here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-api-key-here
DB_URL=sqlite://./astreus.db

Graph + Sub-Agent Integration

import { Agent, Graph } from '@astreus-ai/astreus';

// Create specialized sub-agents
const researcher = await Agent.create({
  name: 'ResearchSpecialist',
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  systemPrompt: 'You conduct thorough research and gather comprehensive information.',
  knowledge: true,
  memory: true
});

const analyst = await Agent.create({
  name: 'DataAnalyst', 
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  systemPrompt: 'You analyze data and provide actionable insights.',
  useTools: true
});

const writer = await Agent.create({
  name: 'ContentWriter',
  model: 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022',
  systemPrompt: 'You create compelling, well-structured content.',
  vision: true
});

// Create main coordinator agent with sub-agents
const coordinator = await Agent.create({
  name: 'ProjectCoordinator',
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  systemPrompt: 'You coordinate complex projects using specialized sub-agents.',
  subAgents: [researcher, analyst, writer]
});

// Create graph with sub-agent awareness
const projectGraph = new Graph({
  name: 'Market Analysis Project',
  defaultAgentId: coordinator.id,
  subAgentAware: true,
  maxConcurrency: 2
}, coordinator);

// Add tasks that leverage sub-agents
const researchTask = projectGraph.addTaskNode({
  name: 'Market Research',
  prompt: 'Research the AI healthcare market, including key players, market size, and growth trends',
  useSubAgents: true,
  subAgentDelegation: 'auto'
});

const analysisTask = projectGraph.addTaskNode({
  name: 'Data Analysis',
  prompt: 'Analyze the research data and identify key opportunities and challenges',
  dependencies: [researchTask],
  useSubAgents: true,
  subAgentCoordination: 'parallel'
});

const reportTask = projectGraph.addTaskNode({
  name: 'Executive Report',
  prompt: 'Create a comprehensive executive report with recommendations',
  dependencies: [analysisTask],
  useSubAgents: true
});

// Execute the graph with intelligent sub-agent coordination
const result = await projectGraph.run();
console.log('Project completed:', result.success);

Running the Example

If you cloned the repository:

npm run dev

If you built from scratch, create an index.ts file with the code above and run:

npx tsx index.ts
