deep-agents-core

• Task Planning: TodoListMiddleware for breaking down complex tasks
• Context Management: Filesystem tools with pluggable backends
• Task Delegation: SubAgent middleware for spawning specialized agents
• Long-term Memory: Persistent storage across threads via Store
• Human-in-the-loop: Approval workflows for sensitive operations
• Skills: On-demand loading of specialized capabilities

The agent harness provides these capabilities automatically - you configure, not implement.

@tool def get_weather(city: str) -> str: """Get the weather for a given city.""" return f"It is always sunny in {city}"

agent = create_deep_agent( model="claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929", tools=[get_weather], system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant" )

config = {"configurable": {"thread_id": "user-123"}} result = agent.invoke({ "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What's the weather in Tokyo?"}] }, config=config)

</python>
<typescript>
Create a basic deep agent with a custom tool and invoke it with a user message.
```typescript
import { createDeepAgent } from "deepagents";
import { tool } from "@langchain/core/tools";
import { z } from "zod";

const getWeather = tool(
  async ({ city }) => `It is always sunny in ${city}`,
  { name: "get_weather", description: "Get weather for a city", schema: z.object({ city: z.string() }) }
);

const agent = await createDeepAgent({
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
  tools: [getWeather],
  systemPrompt: "You are a helpful assistant"
});

const config = { configurable: { thread_id: "user-123" } };
const result = await agent.invoke({
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "What's the weather in Tokyo?" }]
}, config);

agent = create_deep_agent( name="my-assistant", model="claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929", tools=[custom_tool1, custom_tool2], system_prompt="Custom instructions", subagents=[research_agent, code_agent], backend=FilesystemBackend(root_dir=".", virtual_mode=True), interrupt_on={"write_file": True}, skills=["./skills/"], checkpointer=MemorySaver(), store=InMemoryStore() )

</python>
<typescript>
Configure a deep agent with all available options including subagents, skills, and persistence.
```typescript
import { createDeepAgent, FilesystemBackend } from "deepagents";
import { MemorySaver, InMemoryStore } from "@langchain/langgraph";

const agent = await createDeepAgent({
  name: "my-assistant",
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929",
  tools: [customTool1, customTool2],
  systemPrompt: "Custom instructions",
  subagents: [researchAgent, codeAgent],
  backend: new FilesystemBackend({ rootDir: ".", virtualMode: true }),
  interruptOn: { write_file: true },
  skills: ["./skills/"],
  checkpointer: new MemorySaver(),
  store: new InMemoryStore()
});
