Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
LangGraph backend work must preserve graph state contracts, resumability, tool boundaries, and terminal-state behavior. Treat model output and tool output as untrusted until validated.
Emit structured runtime events for observable workflow progress:
Include correlation identifiers when available, such as run id, thread id, graph id, node name, tool call id, provider, duration, retry count, terminal status, and error code.
Test graph success, invalid model output, invalid tool output, no-tool path, wrong-tool path, retry, timeout, cancellation, resume from checkpoint, duplicate node execution, and terminal-state invariants.

Keep state serializable, validate model and tool outputs before writing state, isolate provider-specific logic, emit structured runtime events, and verify resumability plus terminal-state invariants. LangGraph backend work must preserve graph state contracts, resumability, tool boundaries, and terminal-state behavior. Treat model output and tool output as untrusted until validated. ## Graph Rules - Keep graph state JSON serializable. - Do not store clients, streams, sockets, functions, abort controllers, raw responses, credentials, or other non-serializable objects in state. - Define owner, default value, reducer behavior, readers, and checkpoint impact for every new state field. - Do not assume a node runs only once. - External side effects need idempotency and resume behavior. - Terminal states must not return to running. ## Node and Edge Rules - Route by structured values, not by matching natural-language prose. - Keep node inputs and outputs explicit. - Validate model and tool outputs before writing them into state. - Use stable machine identifiers for graph ids, node names, event types, tool names, error codes, and terminal statuses. - Avoid importing concrete provider logic into generic graph contracts. ## Tool and Provider Boundaries - Tool arguments are untrusted until validated. - Tool results should use typed structured output with schema versions when consumed across layers. - Provider adapters should isolate provider-specific response formats. - Models must not decide unchecked paths, hosts, URLs, commands, permissions, or credential use. - Tool and MCP-like capabilities should be deny-by-default. ## Runtime Events Emit structured runtime events for observable workflow progress: - Graph started. - Node started and completed. - Tool started and completed. - Retry attempted. - Context built. - Partial answer emitted. - Terminal state reached. - Error or cancellation recorded. Include correlation identifiers when available, such as run id, thread id, graph id, node name, tool call id, provider, duration, retry count, terminal status, and error code. ## Prompt and Model Output Rules - Prompt changes are code changes. - Add golden cases or regression fixtures for prompt-sensitive behavior. - Use schema validation for structured model output. - Do not patch missing product capability with prompt wording. - Distinguish deterministic tests, mocked provider tests, and live smoke tests. ## Verification Test graph success, invalid model output, invalid tool output, no-tool path, wrong-tool path, retry, timeout, cancellation, resume from checkpoint, duplicate node execution, and terminal-state invariants.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
Version reported in registry metadata; check source releases before relying on it.
