What is the best way to handle persistence in production?

For production, PostgresSaver is recommended for its scalability and concurrency support, whereas SqliteSaver is excellent for local development and testing.

Should I use TypedDict or Pydantic for my LangGraph state?

Use TypedDict for lightweight performance and standard dictionary-like access. Choose Pydantic when you need runtime validation, type coercion, or highly complex nested data structures.

How does this skill help with multi-agent coordination?

The skill provides patterns for Supervisor, Peer-to-Peer, and Handoff architectures, helping you decide whether your agents need a central manager or decentralized collaboration.

When should I choose LangGraph over standard LangChain LCEL?

LangGraph is ideal for complex, stateful workflows that require loops, branching, or human-in-the-loop interactions. Use LCEL for simpler, linear pipelines where persistence and cycles aren't necessary.

Data Science & ML

Provides expert guidance on architectural patterns, state management, and multi-agent coordination for LangGraph applications.

About

This skill acts as an architectural consultant for developers building complex AI workflows with LangGraph. It helps navigate critical design decisions, such as choosing between LangGraph and simpler alternatives, defining efficient state schemas with appropriate reducers, and selecting the right multi-agent coordination patterns like Supervisor or Handoff. By providing best practices for persistence, human-in-the-loop interventions, and error handling, it ensures that your agentic systems are scalable, reliable, and production-ready.
