Hierarchical Agent Teams¶
In our previous example (Agent Supervisor), we introduced the concept of a single supervisor node to route work between different worker nodes.
But what if the job for a single worker becomes too complex? What if the number of workers becomes too large?
For some applications, the system may be more effective if work is distributed hierarchically.
You can do this by composing different subgraphs and creating a top-level supervisor, along with mid-level supervisors.
To do this, let's build a simple research assistant! The graph will look something like the following:
This notebook is inspired by the paper AutoGen: Enabling Next-Gen LLM Applications via Multi-Agent Conversation, by Wu, et. al. In the rest of this notebook, you will:
- Define the agents' tools to access the web and write files
- Define some utilities to help create the graph and agents
- Create and define each team (web research + doc writing)
- Compose everything together.
But before all of that, some setup:
// process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY = "sk_...";
// process.env.TAVILY_API_KEY = "sk_...";
// Optional, add tracing in LangSmith
// process.env.LANGCHAIN_API_KEY = "sk_...";
// process.env.LANGCHAIN_TRACING_V2 = "true";
// process.env.LANGCHAIN_PROJECT = "Multi-agent Collaboration: LangGraphJS";
// Or use a dotenv file:
// import "dotenv/config";
Create Tools¶
Each team will be composed of one or more agents each with one or more tools. Below, define all the tools to be used by your different teams.
We'll start with the research team.
Research team tools
The research team can use a search engine and url scraper to find information on the web. Feel free to add additional functionality below to boost the team performance!
import { TavilySearchResults } from "@langchain/community/tools/tavily_search";
import { CheerioWebBaseLoader } from "@langchain/community/document_loaders/web/cheerio";
import { tool } from "@langchain/core/tools";
import { z } from "zod";
const tavilyTool = new TavilySearchResults();
const scrapeWebpage = tool(async (input) => {
const loader = new CheerioWebBaseLoader(input.url);
const docs = await loader.load();
const formattedDocs = docs.map(
(doc) =>
`<Document name="${doc.metadata?.title}">\n${doc.pageContent}\n</Document>`,
);
return formattedDocs.join("\n\n");
},
{
name: "scrape_webpage",
description: "Scrape the contents of a webpage.",
schema: z.object({
url: z.string(),
}),
}
)
Document writing team tools
Next up, we will give some tools for the doc writing team to use. We define some bare-bones file-access tools below.
Note that this gives the agents access to your file-system, which can be unsafe. We also haven't optimized the tool descriptions for performance.

Helper Utilities¶
We are going to create a few utility functions to make it more concise when we want to:
- Create a worker agent.
- Create a supervisor for the sub-graph.
These will simplify the graph compositional code at the end for us so it's easier to see what's going on.
Compatibility
The stateModifier parameter for createReactAgent below was added in @langchain/langgraph>=0.2.27.
If you are on an older version, you will need to use the deprecated messageModifier parameter.
For help upgrading, see this guide.
import { z } from "zod";
import { HumanMessage, BaseMessage, SystemMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
import {
ChatPromptTemplate,
MessagesPlaceholder,
} from "@langchain/core/prompts";
import { JsonOutputToolsParser } from "langchain/output_parsers";
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { Runnable } from "@langchain/core/runnables";
import { StructuredToolInterface } from "@langchain/core/tools";
import { MessagesAnnotation } from "@langchain/langgraph";
const agentStateModifier = (
systemPrompt: string,
tools: StructuredToolInterface[],
teamMembers: string[],
): ((state: typeof MessagesAnnotation.State) => BaseMessage[]) => {
const toolNames = tools.map((t) => t.name).join(", ");
const systemMsgStart = new SystemMessage(systemPrompt +
"\nWork autonomously according to your specialty, using the tools available to you." +
" Do not ask for clarification." +
" Your other team members (and other teams) will collaborate with you with their own specialties." +
` You are chosen for a reason! You are one of the following team members: ${teamMembers.join(", ")}.`)
const systemMsgEnd = new SystemMessage(`Supervisor instructions: ${systemPrompt}\n` +
`Remember, you individually can only use these tools: ${toolNames}` +
"\n\nEnd if you have already completed the requested task. Communicate the work completed.");
return (state: typeof MessagesAnnotation.State): any[] =>
[systemMsgStart, ...state.messages, systemMsgEnd];
}
async function runAgentNode(params: {
state: any;
agent: Runnable;
name: string;
}) {
const { state, agent, name } = params;
const result = await agent.invoke({
messages: state.messages,
});
const lastMessage = result.messages[result.messages.length - 1];
return {
messages: [new HumanMessage({ content: lastMessage.content, name })],
};
}
async function createTeamSupervisor(
llm: ChatOpenAI,
systemPrompt: string,
members: string[],
): Promise<Runnable> {
const options = ["FINISH", ...members];
const routeTool = {
name: "route",
description: "Select the next role.",
schema: z.object({
reasoning: z.string(),
next: z.enum(["FINISH", ...members]),
instructions: z.string().describe("The specific instructions of the sub-task the next role should accomplish."),
})
}
let prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.fromMessages([
["system", systemPrompt],
new MessagesPlaceholder("messages"),
[
"system",
"Given the conversation above, who should act next? Or should we FINISH? Select one of: {options}",
],
]);
prompt = await prompt.partial({
options: options.join(", "),
team_members: members.join(", "),
});
const supervisor = prompt
.pipe(
llm.bindTools([routeTool], {
tool_choice: "route",
}),
)
.pipe(new JsonOutputToolsParser())
// select the first one
.pipe((x) => ({
next: x[0].args.next,
instructions: x[0].args.instructions,
}));
return supervisor;
}
Define Agent Teams¶
Now we can get to define our hierachical teams. "Choose your player!"
Research Team¶
The research team will have a search agent and a web scraping "research_agent" as the two worker nodes. Let's create those, as well as the team supervisor. (Note: If you are running deno in a jupyter notebook, the web scraper won't work out of the box. We have commented out this code to accomodate this challenge)
import { BaseMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";
import { Annotation } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import { createReactAgent } from "@langchain/langgraph/prebuilt";
const ResearchTeamState = Annotation.Root({
messages: Annotation<BaseMessage[]>({
reducer: (x, y) => x.concat(y),
}),
team_members: Annotation<string[]>({
reducer: (x, y) => x.concat(y),
}),
next: Annotation<string>({
reducer: (x, y) => y ?? x,
default: () => "supervisor",
}),
instructions: Annotation<string>({
reducer: (x, y) => y ?? x,
default: () => "Solve the human's question.",
}),
})
const llm = new ChatOpenAI({ modelName: "gpt-4o" });
const searchNode = (state: typeof ResearchTeamState.State) => {
const stateModifier = agentStateModifier(
"You are a research assistant who can search for up-to-date info using the tavily search engine.",
[tavilyTool],
state.team_members ?? ["Search"],
)
const searchAgent = createReactAgent({
llm,
tools: [tavilyTool],
stateModifier,
})
return runAgentNode({ state, agent: searchAgent, name: "Search" });
};
const researchNode = (state: typeof ResearchTeamState.State) => {
const stateModifier = agentStateModifier(
"You are a research assistant who can scrape specified urls for more detailed information using the scrapeWebpage function.",
[scrapeWebpage],
state.team_members ?? ["WebScraper"],
)
const researchAgent = createReactAgent({
llm,
tools: [scrapeWebpage],
stateModifier,
})
return runAgentNode({ state, agent: researchAgent, name: "WebScraper" });
}
const supervisorAgent = await createTeamSupervisor(
llm,
"You are a supervisor tasked with managing a conversation between the" +
" following workers: {team_members}. Given the following user request," +
" respond with the worker to act next. Each worker will perform a" +
" task and respond with their results and status. When finished," +
" respond with FINISH.\n\n" +
" Select strategically to minimize the number of steps taken.",
["Search", "WebScraper"],
);
Now that we've created the necessary components, defining their interactions is easy. Add the nodes to the team graph, and define the edges, which determine the transition criteria.
import { END, START, StateGraph } from "@langchain/langgraph";
const researchGraph = new StateGraph(ResearchTeamState)
.addNode("Search", searchNode)
.addNode("supervisor", supervisorAgent)
.addNode("WebScraper", researchNode)
// Define the control flow
.addEdge("Search", "supervisor")
.addEdge("WebScraper", "supervisor")
.addConditionalEdges("supervisor", (x) => x.next, {
Search: "Search",
WebScraper: "WebScraper",
FINISH: END,
})
.addEdge(START, "supervisor");
const researchChain = researchGraph.compile();
Since each team is itself a complete computational graph, you can directly query it like so:
const streamResults = researchChain.stream(
{
messages: [new HumanMessage("What's the price of a big mac in Argentina?")],
},
{ recursionLimit: 100 },
);
for await (const output of await streamResults) {
if (!output?.__end__) {
console.log(output);
console.log("----");
}
}
{
supervisor: {
next: 'WebScraper',
instructions: 'Find the current price of a Big Mac in Argentina.'
}
}
----
{
WebScraper: {
messages: [
HumanMessage {
"content": "I attempted to scrape a relevant article from The Guardian but encountered a 404 error, indicating that the page could not be found.\n\nPlease provide another URL or specify another way I can assist you.",
"name": "WebScraper",
"additional_kwargs": {},
"response_metadata": {}
}
]
}
}
----
{
supervisor: {
next: 'WebScraper',
instructions: 'Find the price of a Big Mac in Argentina from any available and reliable online sources.'
}
}
----
{
WebScraper: {
messages: [
HumanMessage {
"content": "I couldn't retrieve the specific price information for a Big Mac in Argentina from the sources attempted.\n\nFor accurate and updated details, you might want to check the latest economic reports or specific websites that track the Big Mac Index.",
"name": "WebScraper",
"additional_kwargs": {},
"response_metadata": {}
}
]
}
}
----
{
supervisor: {
next: 'Search',
instructions: 'Find the current price of a Big Mac in Argentina.'
}
}
----
{
Search: {
messages: [
HumanMessage {
"content": "The current price of a Big Mac in Argentina as of December 2023 is $5.43 USD. For further details, you can visit the source [here](https://www.globalproductprices.com/Argentina/big_mac_menu_prices/).",
"name": "Search",
"additional_kwargs": {},
"response_metadata": {}
}
]
}
}
----
{ supervisor: { next: 'FINISH', instructions: '' } }
----
Document Writing Team¶
Create the document writing team below using a similar approach. This time, we will give each agent access to different file-writing tools.
Note that we are giving file-system access to our agent here, which is not safe in all cases.
For the doc writing team, each agent will be writing to the same workspace. We don't want them to waste time checking which files are available, so we will force a call to a "prelude" function before an agent is invoked to populate the prompt template with the current directory's contents.
import { RunnableLambda } from "@langchain/core/runnables";
const prelude = new RunnableLambda({
func: async (state: {
messages: BaseMessage[];
next: string;
instructions: string;
}) => {
let writtenFiles: string[] = [];
if (
!(await fs
.stat(WORKING_DIRECTORY)
.then(() => true)
.catch(() => false))
) {
await fs.mkdir(WORKING_DIRECTORY, { recursive: true });
}
try {
const files = await fs.readdir(WORKING_DIRECTORY);
for (const file of files) {
writtenFiles.push(file);
}
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
const filesList = writtenFiles.length > 0
? "\nBelow are files your team has written to the directory:\n" +
writtenFiles.map((f) => ` - ${f}`).join("\n")
: "No files written.";
return { ...state, current_files: filesList };
},
});
The doc writing state then is similar to that of the research team. We will add
the additional current_files state variable to reflect the shared workspace.
// This defines the agent state for the document writing team
const DocWritingState = Annotation.Root({
messages: Annotation<BaseMessage[]>({
reducer: (x, y) => x.concat(y),
}),
team_members: Annotation<string[]>({
reducer: (x, y) => x.concat(y),
}),
next: Annotation<string>({
reducer: (x, y) => y ?? x,
default: () => "supervisor",
}),
current_files: Annotation<string>({
reducer: (x, y) => (y ? `${x}\n${y}` : x),
default: () => "No files written.",
}),
instructions: Annotation<string>({
reducer: (x, y) => y ?? x,
default: () => "Solve the human's question.",
}),
})
The team will be comprised of three agents:
- A doc writing agent
- A note taking agent
- A chart generating agent
Note this isn't optimized for performance, but is illustrative of the pattern.
const docWritingLlm = new ChatOpenAI({ modelName: "gpt-4o" });
const docWritingNode = (state: typeof DocWritingState.State) => {
const stateModifier = agentStateModifier(
`You are an expert writing a research document.\nBelow are files currently in your directory:\n${state.current_files}`,
[writeDocumentTool, editDocumentTool, readDocumentTool],
state.team_members ?? [],
)
const docWriterAgent = createReactAgent({
llm: docWritingLlm,
tools: [writeDocumentTool, editDocumentTool, readDocumentTool],
stateModifier,
})
const contextAwareDocWriterAgent = prelude.pipe(docWriterAgent);
return runAgentNode({ state, agent: contextAwareDocWriterAgent, name: "DocWriter" });
}
const noteTakingNode = (state: typeof DocWritingState.State) => {
const stateModifier = agentStateModifier(
"You are an expert senior researcher tasked with writing a paper outline and" +
` taking notes to craft a perfect paper. ${state.current_files}`,
[createOutlineTool, readDocumentTool],
state.team_members ?? [],
)
const noteTakingAgent = createReactAgent({
llm: docWritingLlm,
tools: [createOutlineTool, readDocumentTool],
stateModifier,
})
const contextAwareNoteTakingAgent = prelude.pipe(noteTakingAgent);
return runAgentNode({ state, agent: contextAwareNoteTakingAgent, name: "NoteTaker" });
}
const chartGeneratingNode = async (
state: typeof DocWritingState.State,
) => {
const stateModifier = agentStateModifier(
"You are a data viz expert tasked with generating charts for a research project." +
`${state.current_files}`,
[readDocumentTool, chartTool],
state.team_members ?? [],
)
const chartGeneratingAgent = createReactAgent({
llm: docWritingLlm,
tools: [readDocumentTool, chartTool],
stateModifier,
})
const contextAwareChartGeneratingAgent = prelude.pipe(chartGeneratingAgent);
return runAgentNode({ state, agent: contextAwareChartGeneratingAgent, name: "ChartGenerator" });
}
const docTeamMembers = ["DocWriter", "NoteTaker", "ChartGenerator"];
const docWritingSupervisor = await createTeamSupervisor(
docWritingLlm,
"You are a supervisor tasked with managing a conversation between the" +
" following workers: {team_members}. Given the following user request," +
" respond with the worker to act next. Each worker will perform a" +
" task and respond with their results and status. When finished," +
" respond with FINISH.\n\n" +
" Select strategically to minimize the number of steps taken.",
docTeamMembers,
);
With the objects themselves created, we can form the graph. Start by creating the "nodes", which will do the actual work, then define the edges to control how the program will progress.
// Create the graph here:
const authoringGraph = new StateGraph(DocWritingState)
.addNode("DocWriter", docWritingNode)
.addNode("NoteTaker", noteTakingNode)
.addNode("ChartGenerator", chartGeneratingNode)
.addNode("supervisor", docWritingSupervisor)
// Add the edges that always occur
.addEdge("DocWriter", "supervisor")
.addEdge("NoteTaker", "supervisor")
.addEdge("ChartGenerator", "supervisor")
// Add the edges where routing applies
.addConditionalEdges("supervisor", (x) => x.next, {
DocWriter: "DocWriter",
NoteTaker: "NoteTaker",
ChartGenerator: "ChartGenerator",
FINISH: END,
})
.addEdge(START, "supervisor");
const enterAuthoringChain = RunnableLambda.from(
({ messages }: { messages: BaseMessage[] }) => {
return {
messages: messages,
team_members: ["Doc Writer", "Note Taker", "Chart Generator"],
};
},
);
const authoringChain = enterAuthoringChain.pipe(authoringGraph.compile());
let resultStream = await authoringChain.stream(
{
messages: [
new HumanMessage(
"Write a limerick and make a bar chart of the characters used.",
),
],
},
{ recursionLimit: 100 },
);

Add Layers¶
In this design, we are enforcing a top-down planning policy. We've created two graphs already, but we have to decide how to route work between the two.
We'll create a third graph to orchestrate the previous two, and add some connectors to define how this top-level state is shared between the different graphs.
// Define the top-level State interface
const State = Annotation.Root({
messages: Annotation<BaseMessage[]>({
reducer: (x, y) => x.concat(y),
}),
next: Annotation<string>({
reducer: (x, y) => y ?? x,
default: () => "ResearchTeam",
}),
instructions: Annotation<string>({
reducer: (x, y) => y ?? x,
default: () => "Resolve the user's request.",
}),
});
const supervisorNode = await createTeamSupervisor(
llm,
"You are a supervisor tasked with managing a conversation between the" +
" following teams: {team_members}. Given the following user request," +
" respond with the worker to act next. Each worker will perform a" +
" task and respond with their results and status. When finished," +
" respond with FINISH.\n\n" +
" Select strategically to minimize the number of steps taken.",
["ResearchTeam", "PaperWritingTeam"],
);
const getMessages = RunnableLambda.from((state: typeof State.State) => {
return { messages: state.messages };
});
const joinGraph = RunnableLambda.from((response: any) => {
return {
messages: [response.messages[response.messages.length - 1]],
};
});
Now we can finally create the top-level graph below.
const superGraph = new StateGraph(State)
.addNode("ResearchTeam", async (input) => {
const getMessagesResult = await getMessages.invoke(input);
const researchChainResult = await researchChain.invoke({
messages: getMessagesResult.messages,
});
const joinGraphResult = await joinGraph.invoke({
messages: researchChainResult.messages,
});
})
.addNode("PaperWritingTeam", getMessages.pipe(authoringChain).pipe(joinGraph))
.addNode("supervisor", supervisorNode)
.addEdge("ResearchTeam", "supervisor")
.addEdge("PaperWritingTeam", "supervisor")
.addConditionalEdges("supervisor", (x) => x.next, {
PaperWritingTeam: "PaperWritingTeam",
ResearchTeam: "ResearchTeam",
FINISH: END,
})
.addEdge(START, "supervisor");
const compiledSuperGraph = superGraph.compile();
With the full graph defined, try invoking it!
resultStream = compiledSuperGraph.stream(
{
messages: [
new HumanMessage(
"Look up a current event, write a poem about it, then plot a bar chart of the distribution of words therein.",
),
],
},
{ recursionLimit: 150 },
);
for await (const step of await resultStream) {
if (!step.__end__) {
console.log(step);
console.log("---");
