LangChain TypeScript quickstart

Follow the live docs — do not invent an alternate API from memory:

https://docs.langchain.com/oss/javascript/langchain/quickstart

Fetch that page (Docs MCP or HTTP) and implement what it shows (weather agent + createAgent). Requires Node 22+.

Local setup constraints

Apply these on top of the quickstart (they keep setup minimal and model-agnostic):

Ask which provider/model to use. Showcase that LangChain is model-agnostic. Suggested prompt:

Which model should this agent use? Pass a provider:model string — e.g. openai:gpt-5.5, anthropic:claude-sonnet-5, google-genai:gemini-2.5-flash-lite. Default if you're unsure: anthropic:claude-sonnet-5.

Swap the quickstart's model string for their choice (or the default).
Create a new directory (e.g. langchain-agent/) and do all work there — do not pollute the open project.
Only secret: the provider API key in .env (gitignored). No LangSmith / Tavily unless they ask. Prefer they edit .env themselves — don't paste keys into chat.
Install the provider package needed for their model if the quickstart's base install isn't enough.
Run the example, show output, then stop. Point to langchain-fundamentals for next steps.

langgraph-human-in-the-loop

Pause graph execution for human review, approval, or validation, then resume with their input. Requires three components: a checkpointer (InMemorySaver or PostgresSaver), a thread ID in config, and JSON-serializable interrupt payloads interrupt(value) pauses and surfaces data; Command(resume=value) resumes and returns that value to the paused node All code before interrupt() re-executes on resume, so side effects must be idempotent (use upsert, not insert) Supports approval workflows,...

deep-agents-memory

Pluggable memory and file backends for Deep Agents with ephemeral, persistent, and hybrid routing options. Four backend types: StateBackend (thread-scoped, ephemeral), StoreBackend (cross-session persistent), FilesystemBackend (real disk access for local dev), and CompositeBackend (route different paths to different backends) FilesystemMiddleware provides six file operation tools: ls , read_file , write_file , edit_file , glob , grep CompositeBackend uses longest-prefix matching to route...

deep-agents-orchestration

Orchestrate subagents, plan multi-step tasks, and require human approval for sensitive operations. Delegate work to specialized subagents via the task tool; custom subagents support isolated tool sets and system prompts, while the default "general-purpose" subagent inherits main agent configuration Plan and track complex workflows with write_todos , organizing tasks across pending, in-progress, and completed states; requires a thread_id for persistence across invocations Implement...
