langchain

langchain is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from G1Joshi/Agent-Skills. It costs 21 tokens per session (309 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to LangChain, a framework for connecting language models with prompts, parsers, APIs, databases, and tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building prompt pipelines, tool-using agents, integrations, or stateful workflows with LangGraph, and when tracing failures with LangSmith.
Why use it?
It helps organize multi-step language-model applications and agents that need to repeat steps, retry, or keep state.

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 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 9d ago.

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.

What it actually says

LangChain

LangChain is the standard framework for chaining LLM components. In 2025, the focus shifted to LangGraph for building stateful, cyclic agents.

When to Use

  • Orchestration: Chaining "Prompt -> LLM -> Parser".
  • Agents: Using LangGraph to build agents that can loop, retry, and keep state.
  • Integrations: 1000+ connectors for vector DBs, APIs, and tools.

Core Concepts

LangGraph

The successor to AgentExecutor. A graph-based way to define agent flows with cycles (loops).

LCEL (LangChain Expression Language)

The declarative pipe syntax: prompt | llm | output_parser.

LangSmith

Observability platform to trace and debug complex chains.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use LangGraph: For any non-trivial agent. AgentExecutor is legacy.
  • Use LCEL: It enables streaming and async out of the box.
  • Trace everything: Connect to LangSmith to see why your agent failed.

Don't:

  • Don't over-abstract: If a simple Python function works, don't wrap it in a Chain.

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.

langchain is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 309 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
