langgraph-state-management

langgraph-state-management is a skill for Claude Code from soba-labs/langchain-agent-skills. It costs 167 tokens per session (3,074 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to managing the shared data used by LangGraph applications. LangGraph is a framework for building workflows and agents as connected steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define state schemas, write reducers that combine updates, configure persistence, and test or debug state handling.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unclear data definitions, incorrect merging of updates, lost state, and poorly configured saved checkpoints.

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

langgraph-state-management 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (assets/chat_state.py, assets/research_state.py, assets/tool_calling_state.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

LangGraph State Management

State Design Workflow

Follow this workflow when designing or modifying state for a LangGraph application:

  1. Identify data requirements — What data flows through the graph?
  2. Choose a schema pattern — Match the use case to a template
  3. Define reducers — Decide how concurrent updates merge
  4. Configure persistence — Select and set up a checkpointer
  5. Validate and test — Run schema validation and reducer tests

Quick Start

Python — Minimal Chat State

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END, MessagesState
from langchain_core.messages import AIMessage

class State(MessagesState):
    pass

def chat_node(state: State):
    return {"messages": [AIMessage(content="Hello!")]}

graph = StateGraph(State).add_node("chat", chat_node)
graph.add_edge(START, "chat").add_edge("chat", END)
app = graph.compile()

Python — Subclass MessagesState

For convenience, subclass the built-in MessagesState (includes messages with add_messages reducer):

from langgraph.graph import MessagesState

class State(MessagesState):
    documents: list[str]
    query: str

TypeScript — StateSchema with Zod

import { StateGraph, StateSchema, MessagesValue, ReducedValue, START, END } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import { AIMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
import { z } from "zod/v4";

const State = new StateSchema({
  messages: MessagesValue,
  documents: z.array(z.string()).default(() => []),
  count: new ReducedValue(
    z.number().default(0),
    { reducer: (current, update) => current + update }
  ),
});

const graph = new StateGraph(State)
  .addNode("chat", (state) => ({ messages: [new AIMessage("Hello!")] }))
  .addEdge(START, "chat")
  .addEdge("chat", END)
  .compile();

Schema Patterns

Choose the pattern matching the application type. See references/schema-patterns.md for complete examples with both Python and TypeScript.

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.
