Deep Agents Planning and Todos
Master the write_todos tool for effective task planning and decomposition in Deep Agents.
Use This Skill When
- You need to break down complex multi-step tasks (3+ steps) into trackable subtasks.
- You want to show users the plan before executing (user approval workflow).
- You're debugging why todos aren't completing as expected.
- You need patterns for different task types (research, coding, analysis, document processing).
- You want to visualize todo progression from LangSmith traces.
When To Use write_todos

langgraph-agent-patterns
Implement multi-agent coordination patterns (supervisor-subagent, router, orchestrator-worker, handoffs) for LangGraph applications. Use when users want to (1) implement multi-agent systems, (2) coordinate multiple specialized agents, (3) choose between coordination patterns, (4) set up supervisor-subagent workflows, (5) implement router-based agent selection, (6) create parallel orchestrator-worker patterns, (7) implement agent handoffs, (8) design state schemas for multi-agent systems, or (9) debug multi-agent coordination issues.
45langgraph-state-management
Design state schemas, implement reducers, configure persistence, and debug state issues for LangGraph applications. Use when users want to (1) design or define state schemas for LangGraph graphs, (2) implement reducer functions for state accumulation, (3) configure persistence with checkpointers (InMemorySaver/MemorySaver, SqliteSaver, PostgresSaver), (4) debug state update issues or unexpected state behavior, (5) migrate state schemas between versions, (6) validate state schema structure, (7) choose between TypedDict and MessagesState patterns, (8) implement custom reducers for lists, dicts, or sets, (9) use the Overwrite type to bypass reducers, (10) set up thread-based persistence for multi-turn conversations, or (11) inspect checkpoints for debugging.
26langgraph-error-handling
Implement LangGraph error handling with current v1 patterns. Use when users need to classify failures, add RetryPolicy for transient issues, build LLM recovery loops with Command routing, add human-in-the-loop with interrupt()/resume, handle ToolNode errors, or choose a safe strategy between retry, recovery, and escalation.
25langgraph-testing-evaluation
Use this skill when you need to test or evaluate LangGraph/LangChain agents: writing unit or integration tests, generating test scaffolds, mocking LLM/tool behavior, running trajectory evaluation (match or LLM-as-judge), running LangSmith dataset evaluations, and comparing two agent versions with A/B-style offline analysis. Use it for Python and JavaScript/TypeScript workflows, evaluator design, experiment setup, regression gates, and debugging flaky/incorrect evaluation results.
24langgraph-project-setup
Initialize and configure LangGraph projects with proper structure, langgraph.json configuration, environment variables, and dependency management. Use when users want to (1) create a new LangGraph project, (2) set up langgraph.json for deployment, (3) configure environment variables for LLM providers, (4) initialize project structure for agents, (5) set up local development with LangGraph Studio, (6) configure dependencies (pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, package.json), or (7) troubleshoot project configuration issues.
21deepagents-setup-configuration
Initialize, validate, and troubleshoot Deep Agents projects in Python or JavaScript using the `deepagents` package. Use when users need to create agents with built-in planning/filesystem/subagents, configure middleware/backends/checkpointing/HITL, migrate from `create_react_agent` or `create_agent`, scaffold projects with repo scripts, validate agent config files, and confirm compatibility with current LangChain/LangGraph/LangSmith docs.
