- 工作流具有预先确定的代码路径,并被设计为按特定顺序运行。
- 智能体是动态的,会定义自己的流程和工具使用方式。
LangGraph 在构建智能体和工作流时提供了多种优势,包括持久化、流式传输,以及对调试和部署的支持。
使用 LangSmith 跟踪并比较这些工作流模式。按照跟踪快速入门查看数据如何流经每个步骤。我们还建议你设置 LangSmith Engine,它可以监控你的跟踪记录、检测问题并提出修复建议。
设置
要构建工作流或智能体,你可以使用任何支持结构化输出和工具调用的聊天模型。以下示例使用 Anthropic:- 安装依赖
npm install @langchain/langgraph @langchain/core
- 初始化 LLM:
import { ChatAnthropic } from "@langchain/anthropic";
const llm = new ChatAnthropic({
model: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
apiKey: "<your_anthropic_key>"
});
LLM 和增强能力
工作流和智能体系统基于 LLM 以及你为其添加的各种增强能力。工具调用、结构化输出和短期记忆都是让 LLM 更符合你需求的几种方式。
import * as z from "zod";
import { tool } from "langchain";
// Schema for structured output
const SearchQuery = z.object({
search_query: z.string().describe("Query that is optimized web search."),
justification: z
.string()
.describe("Why this query is relevant to the user's request."),
});
// Augment the LLM with schema for structured output
const structuredLlm = llm.withStructuredOutput(SearchQuery);
// Invoke the augmented LLM
const output = await structuredLlm.invoke(
"How does Calcium CT score relate to high cholesterol?"
);
// Define a tool
const multiply = tool(
({ a, b }) => {
return a * b;
},
{
name: "multiply",
description: "Multiply two numbers",
schema: z.object({
a: z.number(),
b: z.number(),
}),
}
);
// Augment the LLM with tools
const llmWithTools = llm.bindTools([multiply]);
// Invoke the LLM with input that triggers the tool call
const msg = await llmWithTools.invoke("What is 2 times 3?");
// Get the tool call
console.log(msg.tool_calls);
提示链
提示链是指每次 LLM 调用都会处理上一次调用的输出。它通常用于执行定义明确、可以拆分为更小且可验证步骤的任务。一些示例包括:- 将文档翻译成不同语言
- 验证生成内容的一致性
import { StateGraph, StateSchema, GraphNode, ConditionalEdgeRouter } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import { z } from "zod/v4";
// Graph state
const State = new StateSchema({
topic: z.string(),
joke: z.string(),
improvedJoke: z.string(),
finalJoke: z.string(),
});
// Define node functions
// First LLM call to generate initial joke
const generateJoke: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const msg = await llm.invoke(`Write a short joke about ${state.topic}`);
return { joke: msg.content };
};
// Gate function to check if the joke has a punchline
const checkPunchline: ConditionalEdgeRouter<typeof State, "improveJoke"> = (state) => {
// Simple check - does the joke contain "?" or "!"
if (state.joke?.includes("?") || state.joke?.includes("!")) {
return "Pass";
}
return "Fail";
};
// Second LLM call to improve the joke
const improveJoke: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const msg = await llm.invoke(
`Make this joke funnier by adding wordplay: ${state.joke}`
);
return { improvedJoke: msg.content };
};
// Third LLM call for final polish
const polishJoke: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const msg = await llm.invoke(
`Add a surprising twist to this joke: ${state.improvedJoke}`
);
return { finalJoke: msg.content };
};
// Build workflow
const chain = new StateGraph(State)
.addNode("generateJoke", generateJoke)
.addNode("improveJoke", improveJoke)
.addNode("polishJoke", polishJoke)
.addEdge("__start__", "generateJoke")
.addConditionalEdges("generateJoke", checkPunchline, {
Pass: "improveJoke",
Fail: "__end__"
})
.addEdge("improveJoke", "polishJoke")
.addEdge("polishJoke", "__end__")
.compile();
// Invoke
const state = await chain.invoke({ topic: "cats" });
console.log("Initial joke:");
console.log(state.joke);
console.log("\n--- --- ---\n");
if (state.improvedJoke !== undefined) {
console.log("Improved joke:");
console.log(state.improvedJoke);
console.log("\n--- --- ---\n");
console.log("Final joke:");
console.log(state.finalJoke);
} else {
console.log("Joke failed quality gate - no punchline detected!");
}
并行化
通过并行化,LLM 可以同时处理一个任务。这可以通过同时运行多个独立子任务来完成,也可以通过多次运行同一个任务来检查不同的输出。并行化通常用于:- 拆分子任务并并行运行,从而提高速度
- 多次运行任务以检查不同输出,从而提高置信度
- 运行一个子任务来处理文档中的关键词,同时运行第二个子任务来检查格式错误
- 多次运行一个任务,根据不同标准为文档准确性打分,例如引用数量、使用的来源数量以及来源质量
import { StateGraph, StateSchema, GraphNode } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import * as z from "zod";
// Graph state
const State = new StateSchema({
topic: z.string(),
joke: z.string(),
story: z.string(),
poem: z.string(),
combinedOutput: z.string(),
});
// Nodes
// First LLM call to generate initial joke
const callLlm1: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const msg = await llm.invoke(`Write a joke about ${state.topic}`);
return { joke: msg.content };
};
// Second LLM call to generate story
const callLlm2: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const msg = await llm.invoke(`Write a story about ${state.topic}`);
return { story: msg.content };
};
// Third LLM call to generate poem
const callLlm3: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const msg = await llm.invoke(`Write a poem about ${state.topic}`);
return { poem: msg.content };
};
// Combine the joke, story and poem into a single output
const aggregator: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const combined = `Here's a story, joke, and poem about ${state.topic}!\n\n` +
`STORY:\n${state.story}\n\n` +
`JOKE:\n${state.joke}\n\n` +
`POEM:\n${state.poem}`;
return { combinedOutput: combined };
};
// Build workflow
const parallelWorkflow = new StateGraph(State)
.addNode("callLlm1", callLlm1)
.addNode("callLlm2", callLlm2)
.addNode("callLlm3", callLlm3)
.addNode("aggregator", aggregator)
.addEdge("__start__", "callLlm1")
.addEdge("__start__", "callLlm2")
.addEdge("__start__", "callLlm3")
.addEdge("callLlm1", "aggregator")
.addEdge("callLlm2", "aggregator")
.addEdge("callLlm3", "aggregator")
.addEdge("aggregator", "__end__")
.compile();
// Invoke
const result = await parallelWorkflow.invoke({ topic: "cats" });
console.log(result.combinedOutput);
路由
路由工作流会处理输入,然后将其导向与上下文相关的任务。这让你可以为复杂任务定义专门的流程。例如,一个用于回答产品相关问题的工作流,可能会先处理问题类型,然后将请求路由到定价、退款、退货等具体流程。
import { StateGraph, StateSchema, GraphNode, ConditionalEdgeRouter } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import * as z from "zod";
// Schema for structured output to use as routing logic
const routeSchema = z.object({
step: z.enum(["poem", "story", "joke"]).describe(
"The next step in the routing process"
),
});
// Augment the LLM with schema for structured output
const router = llm.withStructuredOutput(routeSchema);
// Graph state
const State = new StateSchema({
input: z.string(),
decision: z.string(),
output: z.string(),
});
// Nodes
// Write a story
const llmCall1: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const result = await llm.invoke([{
role: "system",
content: "You are an expert storyteller.",
}, {
role: "user",
content: state.input
}]);
return { output: result.content };
};
// Write a joke
const llmCall2: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const result = await llm.invoke([{
role: "system",
content: "You are an expert comedian.",
}, {
role: "user",
content: state.input
}]);
return { output: result.content };
};
// Write a poem
const llmCall3: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
const result = await llm.invoke([{
role: "system",
content: "You are an expert poet.",
}, {
role: "user",
content: state.input
}]);
return { output: result.content };
};
const llmCallRouter: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
// Route the input to the appropriate node
const decision = await router.invoke([
{
role: "system",
content: "Route the input to story, joke, or poem based on the user's request."
},
{
role: "user",
content: state.input
},
]);
return { decision: decision.step };
};
// Conditional edge function to route to the appropriate node
const routeDecision: ConditionalEdgeRouter<typeof State, "llmCall1" | "llmCall2" | "llmCall3"> = (state) => {
// Return the node name you want to visit next
if (state.decision === "story") {
return "llmCall1";
} else if (state.decision === "joke") {
return "llmCall2";
} else {
return "llmCall3";
}
};
// Build workflow
const routerWorkflow = new StateGraph(State)
.addNode("llmCall1", llmCall1)
.addNode("llmCall2", llmCall2)
.addNode("llmCall3", llmCall3)
.addNode("llmCallRouter", llmCallRouter)
.addEdge("__start__", "llmCallRouter")
.addConditionalEdges(
"llmCallRouter",
routeDecision,
["llmCall1", "llmCall2", "llmCall3"],
)
.addEdge("llmCall1", "__end__")
.addEdge("llmCall2", "__end__")
.addEdge("llmCall3", "__end__")
.compile();
// Invoke
const state = await routerWorkflow.invoke({
input: "Write me a joke about cats"
});
console.log(state.output);
编排器-工作器
在编排器-工作器配置中,编排器会:- 将任务拆分为子任务
- 将子任务委派给工作器
- 将工作器输出综合成最终结果
编排器-工作器工作流提供了更高的灵活性,通常用于子任务无法像并行化那样预先定义的场景。这在需要编写代码或跨多个文件更新内容的工作流中很常见。例如,一个需要在未知数量的文档中更新多个 Python 库安装说明的工作流,可能会使用这种模式。
type SectionSchema = {
name: string;
description: string;
}
type SectionsSchema = {
sections: SectionSchema[];
}
// Augment the LLM with schema for structured output
const planner = llm.withStructuredOutput(sectionsSchema);
在 LangGraph 中创建工作器
编排器-工作器工作流很常见,LangGraph 对其提供了内置支持。Send API 允许你动态创建工作器节点,并向它们发送特定输入。每个工作器都有自己的状态,所有工作器的输出都会写入一个共享状态键,编排器图可以访问该键。这让编排器能够访问所有工作器输出,并将它们综合成最终输出。下面的示例会遍历一个章节列表,并使用 Send API 将一个章节发送给每个工作器。
import { StateGraph, StateSchema, ReducedValue, GraphNode, Send } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import * as z from "zod";
// Graph state
const State = new StateSchema({
topic: z.string(),
sections: z.array(z.custom<SectionsSchema>()),
completedSections: new ReducedValue(
z.array(z.string()).default(() => []),
{ reducer: (a, b) => a.concat(b) }
),
finalReport: z.string(),
});
// Worker state
const WorkerState = new StateSchema({
section: z.custom<SectionsSchema>(),
completedSections: new ReducedValue(
z.array(z.string()).default(() => []),
{ reducer: (a, b) => a.concat(b) }
),
});
// Nodes
const orchestrator: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
// Generate queries
const reportSections = await planner.invoke([
{ role: "system", content: "Generate a plan for the report." },
{ role: "user", content: `Here is the report topic: ${state.topic}` },
]);
return { sections: reportSections.sections };
};
const llmCall: GraphNode<typeof WorkerState> = async (state) => {
// Generate section
const section = await llm.invoke([
{
role: "system",
content: "Write a report section following the provided name and description. Include no preamble for each section. Use markdown formatting.",
},
{
role: "user",
content: `Here is the section name: ${state.section.name} and description: ${state.section.description}`,
},
]);
// Write the updated section to completed sections
return { completedSections: [section.content] };
};
const synthesizer: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
// List of completed sections
const completedSections = state.completedSections;
// Format completed section to str to use as context for final sections
const completedReportSections = completedSections.join("\n\n---\n\n");
return { finalReport: completedReportSections };
};
// Conditional edge function to create llm_call workers that each write a section of the report
const assignWorkers: ConditionalEdgeRouter<typeof State, "llmCall"> = (state) => {
// Kick off section writing in parallel via Send() API
return state.sections.map((section) =>
new Send("llmCall", { section })
);
};
// Build workflow
const orchestratorWorker = new StateGraph(State)
.addNode("orchestrator", orchestrator)
.addNode("llmCall", llmCall)
.addNode("synthesizer", synthesizer)
.addEdge("__start__", "orchestrator")
.addConditionalEdges(
"orchestrator",
assignWorkers,
["llmCall"]
)
.addEdge("llmCall", "synthesizer")
.addEdge("synthesizer", "__end__")
.compile();
// Invoke
const state = await orchestratorWorker.invoke({
topic: "Create a report on LLM scaling laws"
});
console.log(state.finalReport);
评估器-优化器
在评估器-优化器工作流中,一次 LLM 调用会创建响应,另一次调用会评估该响应。如果评估器或人在环路判断响应需要改进,就会提供反馈并重新创建响应。这个循环会持续进行,直到生成可接受的响应。 当任务有特定成功标准,但需要迭代才能满足该标准时,评估器-优化器工作流很常用。例如,在两种语言之间翻译文本时,并不总是能一次就得到完美匹配。可能需要几轮迭代,才能生成在两种语言中含义一致的翻译。
import { StateGraph, StateSchema, GraphNode, ConditionalEdgeRouter } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import * as z from "zod";
// Graph state
const State = new StateSchema({
joke: z.string(),
topic: z.string(),
feedback: z.string(),
funnyOrNot: z.string(),
});
// Schema for structured output to use in evaluation
const feedbackSchema = z.object({
grade: z.enum(["funny", "not funny"]).describe(
"Decide if the joke is funny or not."
),
feedback: z.string().describe(
"If the joke is not funny, provide feedback on how to improve it."
),
});
// Augment the LLM with schema for structured output
const evaluator = llm.withStructuredOutput(feedbackSchema);
// Nodes
const llmCallGenerator: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
// LLM generates a joke
let msg;
if (state.feedback) {
msg = await llm.invoke(
`Write a joke about ${state.topic} but take into account the feedback: ${state.feedback}`
);
} else {
msg = await llm.invoke(`Write a joke about ${state.topic}`);
}
return { joke: msg.content };
};
const llmCallEvaluator: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
// LLM evaluates the joke
const grade = await evaluator.invoke(`Grade the joke ${state.joke}`);
return { funnyOrNot: grade.grade, feedback: grade.feedback };
};
// Conditional edge function to route back to joke generator or end based upon feedback from the evaluator
const routeJoke: ConditionalEdgeRouter<typeof State, "llmCallGenerator"> = (state) => {
// Route back to joke generator or end based upon feedback from the evaluator
if (state.funnyOrNot === "funny") {
return "Accepted";
} else {
return "Rejected + Feedback";
}
};
// Build workflow
const optimizerWorkflow = new StateGraph(State)
.addNode("llmCallGenerator", llmCallGenerator)
.addNode("llmCallEvaluator", llmCallEvaluator)
.addEdge("__start__", "llmCallGenerator")
.addEdge("llmCallGenerator", "llmCallEvaluator")
.addConditionalEdges(
"llmCallEvaluator",
routeJoke,
{
// Name returned by routeJoke : Name of next node to visit
"Accepted": "__end__",
"Rejected + Feedback": "llmCallGenerator",
}
)
.compile();
// Invoke
const state = await optimizerWorkflow.invoke({ topic: "Cats" });
console.log(state.joke);
智能体
智能体通常实现为一个使用工具执行动作的 LLM。它们在持续反馈循环中运行,适用于问题和解决方案都不可预测的场景。与工作流相比,智能体拥有更高的自主性,可以决定使用哪些工具以及如何解决问题。你仍然可以定义可用工具集和智能体行为准则。
Using tools
import { tool } from "@langchain/core/tools";
import * as z from "zod";
// Define tools
const multiply = tool(
({ a, b }) => {
return a * b;
},
{
name: "multiply",
description: "Multiply two numbers together",
schema: z.object({
a: z.number().describe("first number"),
b: z.number().describe("second number"),
}),
}
);
const add = tool(
({ a, b }) => {
return a + b;
},
{
name: "add",
description: "Add two numbers together",
schema: z.object({
a: z.number().describe("first number"),
b: z.number().describe("second number"),
}),
}
);
const divide = tool(
({ a, b }) => {
return a / b;
},
{
name: "divide",
description: "Divide two numbers",
schema: z.object({
a: z.number().describe("first number"),
b: z.number().describe("second number"),
}),
}
);
// Augment the LLM with tools
const tools = [add, multiply, divide];
const toolsByName = Object.fromEntries(tools.map((tool) => [tool.name, tool]));
const llmWithTools = llm.bindTools(tools);
import { StateGraph, StateSchema, MessagesValue, GraphNode, ConditionalEdgeRouter } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import { ToolNode } from "@langchain/langgraph/prebuilt";
import {
SystemMessage,
ToolMessage
} from "@langchain/core/messages";
// Graph state
const State = new StateSchema({
messages: MessagesValue,
});
// Nodes
const llmCall: GraphNode<typeof State> = async (state) => {
// LLM decides whether to call a tool or not
const result = await llmWithTools.invoke([
{
role: "system",
content: "You are a helpful assistant tasked with performing arithmetic on a set of inputs."
},
...state.messages
]);
return {
messages: [result]
};
};
const toolNode = new ToolNode(tools);
// Conditional edge function to route to the tool node or end
const shouldContinue: ConditionalEdgeRouter<typeof State, "toolNode"> = (state) => {
const messages = state.messages;
const lastMessage = messages.at(-1);
// If the LLM makes a tool call, then perform an action
if (lastMessage?.tool_calls?.length) {
return "toolNode";
}
// Otherwise, we stop (reply to the user)
return "__end__";
};
// Build workflow
const agentBuilder = new StateGraph(State)
.addNode("llmCall", llmCall)
.addNode("toolNode", toolNode)
// Add edges to connect nodes
.addEdge("__start__", "llmCall")
.addConditionalEdges(
"llmCall",
shouldContinue,
["toolNode", "__end__"]
)
.addEdge("toolNode", "llmCall")
.compile();
// Invoke
const messages = [{
role: "user",
content: "Add 3 and 4."
}];
const result = await agentBuilder.invoke({ messages });
console.log(result.messages);
ToolNode
ToolNode 是一个预构建节点,用于在 LangGraph 工作流中执行工具。它会自动处理并行工具执行、错误处理和状态注入。
当你需要精细控制图如何执行工具时,请使用 ToolNode。它是许多 LangGraph 智能体模式中驱动工具执行的基础构建块。
import { ToolNode } from "@langchain/langgraph/prebuilt";
import { tool } from "@langchain/core/tools";
import * as z from "zod";
const search = tool(
({ query }) => `Results for: ${query}`,
{
name: "search",
description: "Search for information.",
schema: z.object({ query: z.string() }),
}
);
const calculator = tool(
({ expression }) => String(eval(expression)),
{
name: "calculator",
description: "Evaluate a math expression.",
schema: z.object({ expression: z.string() }),
}
);
const toolNode = new ToolNode([search, calculator]);
