## 📚 Core Concepts



<details open>

<summary><h3>👤 The Agent Class</h3></summary>



The Agent class is the heart of ArcheAI. It represents an individual AI agent within your system.



#### Key Attributes



| Attribute | Description |

|-----------|-------------|

| `llm` | An instance of the LLM (Large Language Model) class that the agent will use for language processing and decision-making. |

| `tools` | A list of `Tool` objects that define the actions the agent can perform. |

| `identity` | A string representing the agent's name or identifier. |

| `description` | A brief description of the agent's role or purpose. |

| `expected_output` | A string describing the expected format or style of the agent's responses. |

| `ask_user` | A boolean value indicating whether the agent should ask the user for input when generating responses. Defaults to `True`. |

| `max_iterations` | The maximum number of iterations the agent will attempt to generate a valid response. Defaults to `3`. |

| `check_response_validity` | A boolean value indicating whether the agent should check the validity of the response before it is returned. Defaults to `False`. |

| `output_file` | The name of the file where the agent's responses will be saved. Defaults to `None`. |

| `verbose` | A boolean value indicating whether the agent should print verbose output during execution. Defaults to `False`. |





#### Methods

- `rollout()`: Execute the agent's main workflow



</details>



<details>

<summary><h3>🧰 The Tool Class</h3></summary>



Tools are actions or capabilities that an agent can perform.



```python

from archeai import Tool



def get_weather(city: str):

    """Fetches the current weather for a given city."""

    # Implementation...

    return weather_data



weather_tool = Tool(

    func=get_weather,

    description="Gets the current weather for a specified city.",

    params={'city': {'description': 'The city to check weather for', 'type': 'str', 'default': 'unknown'}}

)

```



#### Key Attributes



| Attribute | Description |

|-----------|-------------|

| `func` | The Python function that defines the tool's action. |

| `name` | The name of the tool (automatically derived from the function name). |

| `description` | A brief description of what the tool does. This is used by the agent to understand the tool's purpose. |

| `returns_value` | A boolean indicating whether the tool returns a value that can be used by other tools or included in the response. Defaults to `True`. |

| `instance` | Optional instance of a class if the tool is a bound method. |

| `llm` | Optional LLM object for more advanced tool interactions (e.g., using the LLM to help determine tool parameters). |

| `verbose` | A boolean indicating whether the tool should print verbose output during execution. Defaults to `False`. |

| `params` | An Optional dictionary containing information about the tool's parameters (automatically extracted if not provided). |



</details>



<details>

<summary><h3>👥 The TaskForce Class</h3></summary>



Manage a group of Agent objects for collaboration and complex workflows.



#### Key Attributes



- `agents`: List of Agent objects in the task force

- `caching_dir`: Directory to store cached responses



#### Key Methods



- `start_force()`: Begin the task force's workflow

- `execute_agent(agent, prompt)`: Execute a specific agent's workflow

- `record_result(agent)`: Save the result of an agent's workflow

- `exit_force()`: End the task force's workflow also delete the cache

## 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Basic Example: Building Your First Team



<div style="background-color: #e6f7ff; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px;">



```python

from archeai import Agent, Tool, TaskForce

from archeai.llms import Gemini



# Initialize your LLM

llm = Gemini()



# Define tools

def say_hello(name: str):

    return f"Hello there, {name}! 👋"



def calculate(equation: str):

    return eval(equation)



hello_tool = Tool(func=say_hello, 

                  description="Greets the user by name.",

                  params={'name': {'description': 'The name to greet.', 'type': 'str', 'default': 'unknown'}})



calculate_tool = Tool(func=calculate, 

                      description="Evaluates an equation.",

                      params={'equation': {'description': 'The equation to evaluate.', 'type': 'str', 'default': 'unknown'}})



# Create agents

greeter = Agent(llm=llm, 

                tools=[hello_tool], 

                identity="Friendly Greeter",

                verbose=True)



math_magician = Agent(llm=llm, 

                      tools=[calculate_tool], 

                      identity="Math Magician",

                      verbose=True)



# Assemble your task force!

force = TaskForce(agents=[greeter, math_magician], caching_dir='cache')

force.start_force()

force.execute_agent(greeter, "Hi I am mervin")

force.execute_agent(math_magician, "2+2")

force.exit_force()

```



This example demonstrates creating agents with tools and using a TaskForce to manage execution.

## 🧐 Important Questions



<details>

<summary><strong>What does `record_result` func do?</strong></summary>



The `record_result` function is used to save the result of an agent's workflow. This can be useful for passing one agent's response to another.



This concludes in the scalability and simplicity of the architecture.
