AF.AgentFramework

A minimal, extensible agent runtime for .NET:
Kernel, Engines, Runners, Hosting, and Policies.

  • Deterministic: SingleActive per agent with ordered queues.
  • Policy-driven: Admission, Ordering, Timeout, Retry, Preemption, Backpressure.
  • Composable: Attach agents to engines with per-attachment overrides.
  • Extensible: Plug your own engines/runners.

> Target framework: .NET 9.0

Install

dotnet add package AF.AgentFramework

Quick start

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using AgentFramework.Hosting;
using AgentFramework.Engines;
using AgentFramework.Runners.Timers;
using AgentFramework.Kernel;
using AgentFramework.Kernel.Policies.Defaults;

sealed class DummyAgent : IAgent
{
    public string Id => "dummy";
    public async Task HandleAsync(WorkItem item, IAgentContext ctx)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"[Agent] {Id} handling {item.Kind} ({item.Id})");
        await Task.Delay(100, ctx.Cancellation);
    }
}

var host = AgentHostBuilder.Create()
    .WithKernelDefaults(PolicySetDefaults.Create())
    .AddEngine("loop", () => new LoopEngine("loop"))
    .AddRunner("loop", () => new TimerRunner(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), "Loop Tick"))
    .AddAgent("dummy", () => new DummyAgent())
    .Attach("dummy", "loop")
    .Build();

await host.StartAsync();
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
await host.StopAsync();

Policies (defaults)

  • Admission: accept unless queue is too long; reject late items.
  • Ordering: priority first, then FIFO/deadline.
  • Timeout: disabled by default (set via TimeoutOptions).
  • Retry: exponential backoff; no retry on cancellations.
  • Preemption: cooperative (opt-in).
  • Backpressure: throttle/shed at high load.
