appendix-agentic-frameworks

appendix-agentic-frameworks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hajekim/agentic-design-patterns-skills. It costs 412 tokens per session (3,649 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for choosing among AI-agent frameworks, which are software tools for building and coordinating agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare LangChain, LangGraph, Google ADK, CrewAI, Microsoft AutoGen, LlamaIndex, and Haystack for pipelines, loops, agent teams, or data-heavy applications.
Why use it?
It helps you match a framework to the shape of your workflow instead of assuming one framework fits every project.

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

appendix-agentic-frameworks 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 5d 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.

Appendix C - Quick Overview of Agentic Frameworks

Overview

The Agentic Frameworks landscape provides developers with structured tools for building, orchestrating, and deploying AI agents. Each framework operates at a different level of abstraction and optimizes for different design priorities — understanding their trade-offs is essential for building reliable, maintainable agent systems.

This appendix provides a comparative overview of the major frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, Google ADK, CrewAI, Microsoft AutoGen, LlamaIndex, and Haystack — when to use each, their core abstractions, and key code patterns.

Core Principle: No framework is universally best — choose based on whether your workflow is linear (LangChain), cyclical (LangGraph), team-based (ADK/CrewAI), or data-intensive (LlamaIndex).

Framework Comparison Matrix

Framework Core Abstraction Workflow Type State Management Best For
LangChain Chain (LCEL) Linear DAG Stateless per run Simple pipelines, RAG, extraction
LangGraph Graph of nodes Cyclical + loops Explicit, persistent Complex agents, tool loops, HITL
Google ADK Agent team Orchestrated multi-agent Implicit (framework) Production multi-agent systems
CrewAI Agent + Task + Crew Sequential/hierarchical Role-based Team simulation, research workflows
AutoGen Conversational agents Conversation-driven Conversational Dynamic multi-agent conversations
LlamaIndex Data pipeline RAG-focused Index-based Knowledge-intensive agents, RAG
Haystack Pipeline nodes Modular search Search-optimized Enterprise search, QA systems

When This Skill Applies

Activate this framework selection guide when:

  • Starting a new agent project and choosing the technology stack
  • Migrating from one framework to another
  • Debugging framework-specific behavior or limitations
  • Combining multiple frameworks in a hybrid architecture
  • Evaluating build-vs-buy for agentic infrastructure

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.
