LangGraph Execution Control
- Workflows vs Agents: Predetermined paths vs dynamic decision-making
- Send API: Fan-out to parallel workers (map-reduce)
- Interrupts: Pause for human input, resume with Command
- Streaming: Real-time state, tokens, and custom data
| Characteristic | Workflow | Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Control Flow | Fixed, predetermined | Dynamic, model-driven |
| Predictability | High | Low |
| Use Case | Sequential tasks | Open-ended problems |

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.
