Overview

Define reusable agents that can answer, stream, call tools, and delegate work. Each subclass describes one application role with an inheritable Ruby DSL.

A customer support agent can look up an account itself and give longer investigations to a research specialist:

class ResearchAgent < LittleGhost::Agent
description "Researches transfer failures"
model "customer_support.research"
tools LedgerSearchTool
end

class CustomerSupportAgent < LittleGhost::Agent
description "Handles support requests"
model :customer_support
limits max_turns: 40
tools AccountLookupTool
subagent ResearchAgent, kind: "research"
end

run = CustomerSupportAgent.ask("Why is transfer 481 pending?")
run.completed? # => true
run.response   # => "Transfer 481 is waiting for the receiving bank."

Class declarations are inherited. Prompts resolve by the agent's logical path unless system_prompt or system_template supplies one explicitly; tools and prompt locals may also be selected dynamically for each run. Capabilities such as skills, context management, loop detection, and delegation remain inactive until their DSL methods are called.

The class-level ask helper creates a standalone entrypoint and returns a completed Run. Create a standalone instance explicitly to reuse one Runtime or call stream_ask for StreamEvent objects. Runtimes build bound instances internally; their call method returns a RunResult and their stream method follows the owning run's single-execution lifecycle. Closing an agent closes owned tools and any standalone workspace and sandbox. LittleGhost::Agent.ask uses You are a helpful agent. as its system prompt. Subclasses continue to use their inline or conventional prompts.

Models can return ordinary text or a locally validated structured result. Tool failures are sanitized before returning to the model, diagnostic capture can be disabled for sensitive agents, and cancellation, deadlines, and cleanup failures remain framework control flow.

Constructor Details

#initialize(model: nil, runtime: nil, tools: [], template_resolver: nil, template_paths: [], run: nil, executor: Support::Executor.new, delegation_activity: nil, agent_path: Subagents::AgentPath::ROOT, max_turns: 100, max_tool_calls: 1_000, max_tool_result_tokens: DEFAULT_MAX_TOOL_RESULT_TOKENS, model_settings: {}, workspace: nil, sandbox: nil) ⇒ Agent

Creates either a standalone entrypoint or a run-scoped agent.

Calling new without model and run creates the console-friendly standalone form. Runtime builders supply the remaining dependencies and apply class-level limits and declarations.

Class Method Details

.agent_id(*values) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

agent_id() -> String
agent_id(value) -> String

The stable identifier used in telemetry, delegation, and default tool names. Named subclasses derive it from their underscored class name without an Agent suffix; passing value replaces that default.

  self.agent_id_value = values.fetch(0).to_s
end

.ask(message, **options) ⇒ Object

Executes message through a fresh standalone entrypoint and returns the completed LittleGhost::Run. Invocation options are forwarded to #ask.

Create an instance explicitly when reusing a Runtime or streaming events.

def callbacks = callback_values # :nodoc:

.capture_diagnostics(*values) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

capture_diagnostics() -> true or false
capture_diagnostics(value) -> true or false

Whether agent-layer diagnostics may include model and tool content.

Capture defaults to true, and only a literal true enables it. This setting does not disable run-level input and output capture from an enabled process-wide Support::ContentCapture policy. For sensitive work, also install Support::ContentCapture.disabled or an appropriate scrubber through Instrumentation.capture_content.

end

.limits(**values) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

limits() -> Hash
limits(**values) -> Hash

Inherited execution limits for model turns, tool calls, and tool output.

Keyword arguments merge into the current limits and the zero-argument form returns them.

end

.model(*values, &block) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

model() -> String, Proc, nil
model(role) -> String
model { |invocation| ... } -> Proc

The logical model role for this agent.

:call-seq:

result_schema() -> Hash, nil
result_schema(schema, name: nil, description: nil, strategy: :auto) -> Hash
result_schema(name: nil, description: nil, strategy: :auto, **schema) -> Hash

Declares a strict JSON-object result contract. Every object must set additionalProperties: false and require each property. Automatic strategy selection prefers provider-native structured output and falls back to a terminal tool when supported.

A missing or invalid result receives one repair attempt before LittleGhost::StructuredResultError is raised. Invalid schemas and strategies raise LittleGhost::ConfigurationError immediately.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

#as_tool(name: self.class.agent_id, description: self.class.description, preserve_context: false) ⇒ Object

Exposes this agent as a Tool instance.

By default, each call starts with empty conversational history. Set preserve_context: true to retain history serially between calls.

#interrupt(message, cancellation_token: Support::CancellationToken.new, deadline: nil, target_operation_id: nil, interruption_id: nil, batch_key: nil, metadata: {}) ⇒ Object

Adds message to one active invocation and waits for its ordinary text reply.

The response may continue into tool calls; delivery does not stop the original invocation. Raises LittleGhost::AgentInterruptError when there is no unambiguous active target.

#interrupt_response(message, cancellation_token: Support::CancellationToken.new, deadline: nil, target_operation_id: nil, interruption_id: nil, batch_key: nil, metadata: {}) ⇒ Object

Adds an interruption and returns the model's immediate response details.

Use target_operation_id when an agent has multiple active invocations. Messages may contain only text, image, or document content. The returned response value exposes text, tool_calls?, interruption_ids, and batch_key; tool calls may continue after this response. Depend on these methods rather than the response's concrete class.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

Streams one invocation as StreamEvent objects.

Agents built inside a run accept history, JSON-like context, cancellation, deadlines, settings, and trusted invocation template paths. An agent instance may be streamed only according to the lifecycle managed by its owning run. Every template path must be an application-created TrustedPath; the wrapper records a trust decision and must never contain unchecked request or model input.

  • (ArgumentError)
