Agent Separation + +**When to create separate agents:** +- Different reasoning behavior needed +- Different tool access requirements +- Different permissions or security contexts +- Specialized domain knowledge required +- Different personality or tone needed + +**When NOT to create separate agents:** +- Minor instruction variations +- Temporary state changes +- Simple branching logic +- Different responses to same capability + +**Example: Good separation** +```python +# GOOD: Clear role distinction +class TriageAgent(Agent): + """Quickly categorizes issues and routes""" + # Simple, fast, focused on classification + +class TechnicalSupportAgent(Agent): + """Deep technical troubleshooting""" + # Complex tools, detailed instructions +``` + +**Example: Poor separation** +```python +# BAD: Unnecessary separation +class PoliteAgent(Agent): + """Responds politely""" + +class VeryPoliteAgent(Agent): + """Responds very politely""" +# These should be one agent with context-aware instructions +``` + +### 2. Prewarm Pattern + +**Always prewarm static resources:** + +```python +def prewarm(proc: JobProcess): + """Load models and static data before sessions""" + # Load VAD model (expensive, reusable) + proc.userdata["vad"] = silero.VAD.load() + + # Load any other static models + # proc.userdata["classifier"] = load_custom_model() +``` + +**DON'T prewarm user-specific data:** + +```python +# BAD: User-specific data in prewarm +def prewarm(proc: JobProcess): + # This won't work - no user context yet + proc.userdata["user_profile"] = fetch_user_profile() # ❌ + +# GOOD: User-specific data in entrypoint +async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext): + # Access user metadata from room/participant + user_id = ctx.room.metadata.get("user_id") + user_profile = await fetch_user_profile(user_id) # ✅ +``` + +### 3. Entrypoint Performance + +**Critical: Connect before expensive operations:** + +```python +async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext): + # GOOD: Connect immediately + await ctx.connect() # ✅ + + # Then do expensive operations + data = await fetch_external_data() + + # BAD: Expensive ops before connect + # data = await fetch_external_data() # ❌ Delays connection + # await ctx.connect() +``` + +**Why:** Users see connection latency. Connect fast, load lazily. + +### 4. Context Management + +**Use typed userdata:** + +```python +from dataclasses import dataclass, field +from typing import List + +@dataclass +class ConversationData: + """Strongly typed shared context""" + user_name: str = "" + user_email: str = "" + collected_items: List[str] = field(default_factory=list) + + # Good: Validation method + def is_complete(self) -> bool: + return bool(self.user_name and self.user_email) + +# Use with generics +session = AgentSession[ConversationData]( + # ... + userdata=ConversationData(), +) +``` + +**Preserve critical context:** + +```python +@function_tool +async def handoff_to_specialist( + self, + context: RunContext[ConversationData], + issue_summary: str, +): + # Store in shared context + context.userdata.issue_summary = issue_summary # ✅ + + # Preserve conversation history + specialist = SpecialistAgent( + chat_ctx=self.chat_ctx # ✅ Keeps chat history + ) + + return specialist, "Transferring to specialist..." +``` + +## Instruction Writing + +### 1. Clear Role Definition + +**Good instructions:** + +```python +instructions = """You are a technical support agent specializing in API issues. + +Your role: +1. Understand the specific API error or problem +2. Check API key validity and permissions +3. Review request format and parameters +4. Provide step-by-step debugging guidance + +When you identify the issue and have a solution, explain it clearly +with code examples if needed. If the issue requires escalation (billing, +account access, or beyond API scope), transfer to the escalation agent. + +Be technical but clear. Use precise terminology. Ask for specific +details like error codes, request payloads, and response statuses.""" +``` + +**Poor instructions:** + +```python +instructions = """You help users with problems. +Be helpful and nice.""" +# Too vague, no specific guidance +``` + +### 2. Handoff Conditions + +**Be explicit about when to handoff:** + +```python +instructions = """... + +Transfer to specialist when: +- User explicitly requests a human +- Issue requires account access you don't have +- You've attempted 3 solutions without success +- User is frustrated (indicated by tone or repetition) + +Do NOT transfer if: +- You haven't tried basic troubleshooting +- User just has simple questions +- Issue is within your capability to resolve""" +``` + +### 3. Tone and Style Guidance + +```python +instructions = """... + +Communication style: +- Conversational but professional +- Use "I" and "you" (not "we" or "the system") +- Acknowledge user frustration with empathy +- Keep responses concise (2-3 sentences typically) +- Avoid corporate jargon + +Examples: +✅ "I see the issue - your API key doesn't have write permissions." +❌ "The system has identified a permissions discrepancy in your credentials." +""" +``` + +## Tool Design + +### 1. Function Tool Structure + +**Best practices:** + +```python +from typing import Annotated +from livekit.agents.llm import function_tool, ToolError +from livekit.agents import RunContext + +@function_tool +async def lookup_order_status( + context: RunContext, + order_id: Annotated[ + str, + "The order ID in format ORD-XXXXX.

Please verify the order ID " + "or ask the user to check their confirmation email." + ) + except Exception as e: + raise ToolError( + f"Unable to retrieve order status: {str(e)}. " + "Please try again or escalate to a human agent." + ) +``` + +**Key elements:** +1. **Type hints with Annotated**: Help LLM understand parameters +2. **Detailed docstring**: LLM sees this, explain clearly +3. **Examples**: Show expected input/output formats +4. **Error handling**: Always return actionable messages +5. **ToolError usage**: Provides feedback to LLM for recovery + +### 2. Tool Naming + +**Good names:** +- `lookup_order_status` (clear action + object) +- `schedule_callback` (action-oriented) +- `verify_payment_method` (specific purpose) +- `escalate_to_human` (clear intent) + +**Poor names:** +- `get_data` (too vague) +- `handle_order` (unclear what it does) +- `process` (no context) +- `tool1` (meaningless) + +### 3. Tool Scope + +**Single responsibility:** + +```python +# GOOD: Focused tools +@function_tool +async def get_account_balance(context, account_id: str) -> str: + """Get current account balance""" + # Just returns balance + +@function_tool +async def get_recent_transactions(context, account_id: str) -> str: + """Get last 10 transactions""" + # Just returns transactions + +# BAD: Kitchen sink tool +@function_tool +async def get_account_everything( + context, + account_id: str, + include_balance: bool, + include_transactions: bool, + include_preferences: bool, +) -> str: + """Get various account information""" + # Too many responsibilities, complex parameters +``` + +**Why:** Focused tools are easier for LLMs to use correctly and compose together. + +## Handoff Best Practices + +### 1. Preserve Context + +**Always pass critical data:** + +```python +@function_tool +async def transfer_to_billing( + self, + context: RunContext[UserData], + issue_description: str, +): + # Update shared context + context.userdata.issue_description = issue_description + context.userdata.transferred_from = "technical_support" + context.userdata.transfer_reason = "billing_issue" + + # Create agent with context + billing_agent = BillingAgent( + user_name=context.userdata.user_name, # Pass name + chat_ctx=self.chat_ctx, # Preserve history + ) + + return billing_agent, ( + f"I'm transferring you to our billing team. " + f"They'll help with: {issue_description}" + ) +``` + +### 2. Announce Transitions + +**Good transition messages:** + +```python +# Clear and informative +return agent, "Connecting you to our technical specialist who can help with API issues." + +return agent, "Let me get you to someone who can access your account details." + +return agent, "I'm transferring you to Sarah, our senior support agent." +``` + +**Poor transition messages:** + +```python +# Too vague or jarring +return agent, "Transferring." # No context + +return agent, "You are now talking to Agent B." # Robotic + +return agent, "" # Silent handoff confuses users +``` + +### 3. Bidirectional Handoffs + +**Support returning to original agent:** + +```python +class SpecialistAgent(Agent): + def __init__(self, return_to_agent=None, chat_ctx=None): + self.return_to_agent = return_to_agent + super().__init__( + instructions="...", + chat_ctx=chat_ctx, + ) + + @function_tool + async def complete_and_return( + self, + context: RunContext, + resolution_summary: str, + ): + """Return to original agent after completing specialized task""" + context.userdata.resolution = resolution_summary + + if self.return_to_agent: + return self.return_to_agent, "Returning to main agent..." + else: + # No return agent, stay here + return None, "Task completed!" +``` + +## Error Handling + +### 1. Graceful Degradation + +```python +@function_tool +async def check_inventory( + context: RunContext, + product_id: str, +) -> str: + """Check product inventory levels""" + try: + stock = await inventory_api.check(product_id) + return f"Product {product_id} has {stock.quantity} units in stock." + + except APITimeoutError: + # Graceful fallback + raise ToolError( + "Inventory system is responding slowly. " + "I can help you place an order anyway, or we can try again shortly. " + "What would you prefer?" + ) + + except ProductNotFoundError: + raise ToolError( + f"Product {product_id} not found. " + "Could you verify the product ID or describe what you're looking for?" + ) + + except Exception as e: + # Last resort + logger.error(f"Inventory check failed: {e}") + raise ToolError( + "I'm having trouble checking inventory right now. " + "Would you like to speak with someone who can check manually?" + ) +``` + +### 2. User-Friendly Error Messages + +**Good error messages:** +- Explain what went wrong +- Suggest next steps +- Offer alternatives + +```python +raise ToolError( + "Your API key doesn't have permission to delete resources. " + "You'll need to either:\n" + "1. Use an API key with admin permissions, or\n" + "2. Contact your account admin to grant delete permissions\n" + "Would you like help with either option?" +) +``` + +**Poor error messages:** +```python +raise ToolError("Error 403") # Too technical, no guidance + +raise ToolError("Something went wrong") # Too vague + +raise ToolError("FORBIDDEN_RESOURCE_ACCESS") # Raw error code +``` + +## Performance Optimization + +### 1. Model Selection + +**Balance quality and latency:** + +```python +# Fast intro/routing agent +class GreetingAgent(Agent): + def __init__(self): + super().__init__( + instructions="...", + llm=openai.LLM(model="gpt-4o-mini"), # Faster, cheaper + ) + +# Deep reasoning agent +class AnalysisAgent(Agent): + def __init__(self): + super().__init__( + instructions="...", + llm=openai.LLM(model="gpt-4o"), # More capable + ) +``` + +### 2. Lazy Loading + +```python +class SpecialistAgent(Agent): + def __init__(self): + super().__init__(instructions="...") + self._knowledge_base = None + + async def _get_knowledge_base(self): + """Load knowledge base only when needed""" + if self._knowledge_base is None: + self._knowledge_base = await load_knowledge_base() + return self._knowledge_base + + @function_tool + async def search_docs(self, context: RunContext, query: str): + kb = await self._get_knowledge_base() # Lazy load + return await kb.search(query) +``` + +### 3. Caching + +```python +from functools import lru_cache +import asyncio + +# Cache expensive computations +@lru_cache(maxsize=100) +def calculate_pricing(product_id: str, quantity: int) -> float: + # Expensive calculation cached + return complex_pricing_logic(product_id, quantity) + +# Cache async API calls +class APICache: + def __init__(self, ttl_seconds=300): + self.cache = {} + self.ttl = ttl_seconds + + async def get_or_fetch(self, key: str, fetch_fn): + if key in self.cache: + data, timestamp = self.cache[key] + if time.time() - timestamp < self.ttl: + return data + + data = await fetch_fn() + self.cache[key] = (data, time.time()) + return data +``` + +## Testing Best Practices + +### 1.
