langchain AGENTS.md

A set of instructions for working on LangChain, a Python project for building applications with language models. It covers the layout of its monorepo, a repository containing multiple related packages, along with development commands and security checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps with LangChain code changes, package-specific development, architecture questions, and security review before editing code.
Why use it?
It gives the agent the project context and working rules it needs to make changes in the right package and follow the repository's process.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

langchain AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Global development guidelines for the LangChain monorepo

This document provides context to understand the LangChain Python project and assist with development.

Corridor security analysis

When Corridor's analyzePlan tool is available, create a plan and use the tool to analyze it before generating or modifying code. Apply the resulting security guidance before writing code.

Project architecture and context

Monorepo structure

This is a Python monorepo with multiple independently versioned packages that use uv.

  • Core layer (langchain-core): Base abstractions, interfaces, and protocols. Users should not need to know about this layer directly.
  • Implementation layer (langchain): Concrete implementations and high-level public utilities
  • Integration layer (partners/): Third-party service integrations. Note that this monorepo is not exhaustive of all LangChain integrations; some are maintained in separate repos, such as langchain-ai/langchain-google and langchain-ai/langchain-aws. Usually these repos are cloned at the same level as this monorepo, so if needed, you can refer to their code directly by navigating to ../langchain-google/ from this monorepo.
  • Testing layer (standard-tests/): Standardized integration tests for partner integrations

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
