LangChain Agent Starter Kit
It answers two questions that every project must resolve upfront:
- Which framework should I use? — LangChain, LangGraph, or Deep Agents
- What do I need to install? — packages, versions, and environment setup
Load this skill first. Once you've made these decisions, invoke the framework-specific skill for implementation details.
Step 1 — Pick Your Framework
The three frameworks are layered, not competing. Each builds on the one below:

deep-agents-memory
INVOKE THIS SKILL when your Deep Agent needs memory, persistence, or filesystem access. Covers StateBackend (ephemeral), StoreBackend (persistent), FilesystemMiddleware, and CompositeBackend for routing.
7.7Klanggraph-fundamentals
INVOKE THIS SKILL when writing ANY LangGraph code. Covers StateGraph, state schemas, nodes, edges, Command, Send, invoke, streaming, and error handling.
7.1Klangchain-fundamentals
Create LangChain agents with create_agent, define tools, and use middleware for human-in-the-loop and error handling.
6.7Klangchain-rag
INVOKE THIS SKILL when building ANY retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system. Covers document loaders, RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter, embeddings (OpenAI), and vector stores (Chroma, FAISS, Pinecone).
6.6Klanggraph-persistence
INVOKE THIS SKILL when your LangGraph needs to persist state, remember conversations, travel through history, or configure subgraph checkpointer scoping. Covers checkpointers, thread_id, time travel, Store, and subgraph persistence modes.
6.6Klanggraph-human-in-the-loop
INVOKE THIS SKILL when implementing human-in-the-loop patterns, pausing for approval, or handling errors in LangGraph. Covers interrupt(), Command(resume=...), approval/validation workflows, and the 4-tier error handling strategy.
