LangGraph Fundamentals

SKILL.md
  • StateGraph: Main class for building stateful graphs
  • Nodes: Functions that perform work and update state
  • Edges: Define execution order (static or conditional)
  • START/END: Special nodes marking entry and exit points
  • State with Reducers: Control how state updates are merged

Graphs must be compile()d before execution.

Use LangGraph When Use Alternatives When
Need fine-grained control over agent orchestration Quick prototyping → LangChain agents
Building complex workflows with branching/loops Simple stateless workflows → LangChain direct
Require human-in-the-loop, persistence Batteries-included features → Deep Agents
