Why AI Agent Patterns?​

Building AI agents is complex. Developers face challenges like:

• Cost Control: How do you prevent runaway expenses from expensive tools?
• Reliability: What happens when tools fail or are unavailable?
• Performance: How do you balance speed, accuracy, and resource usage?
• Scalability: How do you build agents that work at scale?

AI Agent Patterns provides battle-tested solutions to these challenges.

What's Included​

📚 Comprehensive Documentation​

Each pattern includes:

• Clear problem statement
• Detailed solution explanation
• Working code examples
• Real-world use cases
• Best practices and pitfalls to avoid

🔧 Multi-Library Support​

All patterns work across popular AI agent frameworks:

• OpenAI Agent SDK (TypeScript)
• OpenAI Agent SDK (Python)
• Pydantic AI

🚀 Production Ready​

Every pattern is:

• Tested in real applications
• Designed for scalability
• Includes monitoring considerations
• Provides configuration options

Featured Pattern: Tool Budget​

Our first pattern, Tool Budget, addresses one of the most common challenges in AI agent development: controlling costs.

import { budget } from './patterns/tool-budget';

const expensiveTool = budget(webScrapingTool, { 
  maxTimes: 3 
});

// Agent automatically learns to use the tool strategically

The pattern provides:

• Hard limits on expensive operations
• Clear feedback to agents and users
• Graceful degradation when limits are reached
• Strategic decision-making capabilities
