SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a deep understanding of the Agent Kernel's internal architecture, design principles, and core components, enabling developers to effectively contribute to or modify the framework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architectural Overview: Explains the framework-agnostic core, adapter pattern, and config-driven behavior.
  • Core Abstractions: Details the roles of Session, Agent, Runner, Module, and Runtime.
  • Execution Flow: Illustrates the lifecycle of an agent request from input to reply.
  • Use Case: Before implementing a new agent framework adapter or modifying core runtime logic, consult this Skill to grasp the existing structure and best practices.

Quick Start

Use the ak-dev-architecture skill to understand the core abstractions like Session and Agent.

FAQPage Schema
What is the Agent Kernel architecture and how do its core abstractions work?▼

Core abstractions like Session, Agent, Runner, Module, and Runtime define the framework-agnostic architecture. They manage config-driven behavior and the execution flow from user input to agent reply, including pre- and post-hooks.

How do I build a new agent framework adapter for an existing runtime?▼

To build an agent framework adapter, apply the adapter pattern to integrate external frameworks with the framework-agnostic core. Map external logic to core abstractions like AgentService and AKConfig while preserving the execution flow.

How does execution flow work from user input to agent reply in this design?▼

The execution flow processes user input through pre-hooks, Session management, and the Runner before generating an agent reply. Post-hooks execute afterward, ensuring modular control over the agent request lifecycle.

Can I modify core runtime logic and add custom hooks without breaking the framework?▼

Yes, you can modify core runtime logic by leveraging the config-driven behavior and Module structure. The framework supports adding custom hooks through pre- and post-hook mechanisms integrated into the execution flow.

What are the limitations of modifying the framework-agnostic core directly?▼

Modifying the framework-agnostic core directly risks breaking existing agent framework adapters. Changes to core abstractions like Session or Runtime require careful coordination with adapter integrations to maintain execution flow stability.
