Quick Overview

Reactive Agents uses a builder pattern for creating agents:

from reactive_agents import ReactiveAgentBuilder, ReasoningStrategies

agent = await (
    ReactiveAgentBuilder()
    .with_name("MyAgent")
    .with_model("ollama:llama3")
    .with_role("Assistant")
    .with_instructions("Help users with their tasks")
    .with_reasoning_strategy(ReasoningStrategies.REACTIVE)
    .build()
)

Each method configures a specific aspect of your agent:

• .with_name() - Agent identifier for logging
• .with_model() - LLM provider and model
• .with_role() - Agent's persona
• .with_instructions() - Behavioral guidelines
• .with_reasoning_strategy() - How the agent thinks
