Current State (v0.1.0a6)¶

Real-World Performance (January 2026)¶

Playground Test Results: 80% success rate (⅘ tests passing)

Agent	Strategy	Result	Iterations	Duration	Efficiency
Data Analysis	plan_execute_reflect	✅ PASS	6	92.52s	0.17
Research Assistant	plan_execute_reflect	✅ PASS	5	98.03s	0.20
Code Reviewer	reflect_decide_act	✅ PASS	4	72.29s	0.25
Task Automation	plan_execute_reflect	✅ PASS	6	89.62s	0.17
Customer Support	reflect_decide_act	❌ FAIL*	3	54.38s	-

*False negative - agent actually succeeded but validation missed explicit keyword

Key Findings: - ✅ Strategies work correctly - All tasks completed successfully - ✅ Zero tool failures - Reliable execution - ⚠️ Low efficiency (17-25%) - Taking 2x more iterations than optimal - ⚠️ Memory not consulted - No cross-session learning - ⚠️ Tool redundancy - Same tools called multiple times

Analysis: Framework is production-ready for common use cases but leaving significant performance on the table due to dormant memory system. See Phase 1.5 for critical improvements.

Phase 1: v0.1.0a7 - Critical Fixes¶

Timeline: 1-2 weeks Goal: Migrate Google SDK, improve test coverage

1.1 Fix Failing Tests ✅ COMPLETED¶

Issue: Google provider test was failing

TestGoogleModelProvider::test_get_completion
AssertionError: Expected 'get_chat_completion' to have been called once. Called 0 times.

Resolution: Fixed mock target from get_chat_completion to _get_provider_chat_completion in test file.

1.2 Google SDK Migration ✅ COMPLETED¶

Issue: Deprecated SDK warning

FutureWarning: All support for the `google.generativeai` package has ended.
Switch to the `google.genai` package.

Migration Steps:

Update pyproject.toml:

google-genai = "^1.5.0"  # Replace google-generativeai
instructor = {extras = ["anthropic", "google-genai"], version = "^1.10.0"}

Update imports in reactive_agents/providers/llm/google.py:

# Before
import google.generativeai as genai

# After
from google import genai

Update API calls to match new SDK patterns (client-based architecture)

Action Items:

Update dependencies in pyproject.toml
Refactor GoogleModelProvider for new SDK
Update type hints and response handling
Test all Google functionality (21/21 tests passing)
Fix all diagnostic issues (0 errors, 0 warnings)

1.3 Increase Test Coverage¶

Priority Targets:

Component	Current	Target	Priority
`task_classifier.py`	13%	70%	High
`prompts/base.py`	34%	60%	Medium
`strategies/plan_execute_reflect.py`	36%	70%	High

Write unit tests for fallback classification
Add integration tests for strategy selection
Add provider-specific test cases

Phase 1 Deliverables¶

All tests passing (424/429 - 5 pre-existing failures unrelated to SDK)
Google SDK migrated to google.genai
Critical component coverage > 60%
No deprecation warnings

Phase 1.5: v0.1.0a7 - Memory & Context Optimization (NEW - HIGH PRIORITY)¶

Timeline: 1-2 weeks Goal: Unlock dormant memory system and optimize context management Impact: 2-3x efficiency improvement in agent performance Discovered: January 11, 2026 from real-world playground testing

Critical Finding: Memory System is Dormant 🔴¶

Real-world test analysis revealed: Memory management exists and stores data perfectly, but is never consulted during agent execution. This causes:

6 iterations instead of 3-4 for common tasks (efficiency: 17% vs target 40%+)
Tool redundancy (Code Reviewer called check_security twice)
No learning curve across sessions
Repeated mistakes

Test Results:

✅ Data Analysis Agent: 6 iterations, efficiency 0.17 (should be 3-4 iterations, 0.40+)
✅ Task Automation: 6 iterations, efficiency 0.17 (should be 3-4 iterations, 0.40+)
✅ Code Reviewer: 4 iterations, ran same tool twice

1.5.1 Memory-Guided Execution (HIGHEST IMPACT)¶

Problem: Memory exists but isn't used during reasoning

Current State (in memory_manager.py): - ✅ save_memory() - Works perfectly - ✅ update_session_history() - Works perfectly - ✅ update_tool_preferences() - Works perfectly - ❌ get_similar_sessions(task) - DOESN'T EXIST - ❌ get_relevant_reflections(context) - DOESN'T EXIST - ❌ recommend_tools_for_task(task) - DOESN'T EXIST

Action Items:

Add get_similar_sessions() to memory_manager.py
Use text similarity to find past tasks
Return strategy used, tools, iterations, success rate
Priority: CRITICAL
Add get_relevant_reflections() to memory_manager.py
Filter reflections by context relevance
Return learnings from similar situations
Priority: HIGH
Add recommend_tools_for_task() to memory_manager.py
Analyze tool preferences for similar tasks
Return high-success-rate tools
Priority: HIGH
Integrate memory loading in engine.py
Call memory query before task execution
Surface past learnings in prompts
Priority: CRITICAL
Update all strategy initialize() methods
Load relevant memory before starting
Use past insights to inform decisions
Priority: HIGH

Expected Impact: - Iterations: 6 → 3-4 (33-50% reduction) - Efficiency: 17% → 35-40% (2x improvement) - Tool redundancy: Eliminated - Learning curve: Agents improve over time

Files to Modify: - reactive_agents/core/memory/memory_manager.py - Add query methods - reactive_agents/core/reasoning/engine.py - Integrate memory consultation - reactive_agents/core/reasoning/strategies/*.py - Use memory in initialization

1.5.2 LLM-Powered Context Summarization (HIGH IMPACT)¶

Problem: Line 544 of context_manager.py has naive placeholder implementation

Current Implementation:

def _generate_summary(self, messages, start_idx, end_idx) -> str:
    # Naive: just counts messages by role
    summary = f"[Summary of {len(messages)} messages: {role_counts}]"
    # TODO: Implement more sophisticated summarization using LLM
    return summary

This is listed as Technical Debt TD-004 but is more critical than realized

Action Items:

Implement LLM-powered summarization in _generate_summary()

async def _generate_summary(self, messages, start_idx, end_idx) -> str:
    """Generate semantic summary using agent's LLM."""
    message_text = "\n".join([f"{m['role']}: {m['content'][:200]}" for m in messages])

    prompt = f"""Summarize this conversation segment (2-3 sentences):
    {message_text}

    Focus on: key decisions, important results, actionable insights."""

    result = await self.agent_context.model_provider.complete(
        prompt=prompt, max_tokens=150
    )

    return f"[Context Summary {start_idx}-{end_idx}]: {result.content}"

Priority: CRITICAL

Expected Impact: - Context efficiency: +40-50% - Token costs: -20-30% - Information retention during long conversations: Much better - Better decision quality with relevant historical context

Files to Modify: - reactive_agents/core/context/context_manager.py:524

1.5.3 Tool Redundancy Detection (MEDIUM-HIGH IMPACT)¶

Problem: Agents call the same tool multiple times unnecessarily

Evidence: Code Reviewer called check_security twice in 4 iterations

Action Items:

Add RecentToolTracker to tool_manager.py

class RecentToolTracker:
    def __init__(self, window=5):
        self.recent_calls = []  # Last N tool calls

    def is_recent_duplicate(self, tool_call: Dict) -> bool:
        """Check if this exact tool call happened recently."""
        signature = self._hash_call(tool_call)
        return signature in [self._hash_call(c) for c in self.recent_calls[-3:]]

    def _hash_call(self, call: Dict) -> str:
        """Create signature: tool_name:params"""
        return f"{call['name']}:{json.dumps(call.get('parameters', {}))}"

Priority: MEDIUM-HIGH
Integrate tracker into tool execution flow
Log warning when duplicate detected
Optionally skip duplicate calls
Priority: MEDIUM

Expected Impact: - Tool redundancy: Eliminated - Iterations: -10-15% - Better iteration efficiency

Files to Modify: - reactive_agents/core/tools/tool_manager.py

1.5.4 Completion Prediction (MEDIUM IMPACT)¶

Problem: Agents don't know when they're close to completion

Action Items:

Add completion score estimation to engine.py

async def predict_completion(self, task: str, progress: Dict) -> float:
    """Estimate how close we are to completion (0.0-1.0)."""
    prompt = f"""Estimate task completion:

    Task: {task}
    Iterations: {progress['iterations']}
    Tools Used: {progress['tools']}

    Return score 0.0-1.0 (0=just started, 1.0=complete):"""

    result = await self.think(prompt)
    return float(result.content)

Priority: MEDIUM

Expected Impact: - Earlier completion detection - Fewer unnecessary validation iterations - Better resource utilization

Files to Modify: - reactive_agents/core/reasoning/engine.py

Phase 1.5 Deliverables¶

Memory consultation integrated - Agents load similar sessions before execution
LLM-powered context summarization - Semantic summaries replace naive placeholders
Tool redundancy detection - No repeated tool calls
Completion prediction - Agents estimate progress
Efficiency improvement - Average efficiency from 17% to 35-40%
Iteration reduction - Common tasks: 6 iterations → 3-4

Success Metrics: - Playground test efficiency: 17% → 35%+ (2x improvement) - Average iterations for known tasks: -40-50% - Tool redundancy incidents: 0 - Cross-session learning: Measurable improvement on repeated task types

    finish_reason: Optional[str] = None
    tool_calls: Optional[List[Dict[str, Any]]] = None
    is_final: bool = False
    prompt_tokens: int = 0
    completion_tokens: int = 0
    total_tokens: int = 0
    chunk_index: int = 0
    model: Optional[str] = None

class BaseModelProvider:
    async def stream_chat_completion(
        self,
        messages: List[Dict[str, Any]],
        tools: Optional[List[Dict[str, Any]]] = None,
        options: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None,
        **kwargs,
    ) -> AsyncIterator[StreamChunk]:
        """Stream chat completion tokens."""
        ...
