agentwerk
Python bindings for agentwerk, a minimal crate for building LLM agents
0.2.0.
pip install agentwerk
Use a planner and coder to change a repository. Both agents inspect the repository, but only the coder edits files and runs Rust checks. Define the command tools first.
planner.md# Planner
You inspect a repository and turn one requested change into a grounded implementation
plan for the coder. You return the files, steps, and checks the coder needs
without modifying the repository.
Your strengths:
- Finding the smallest code surface that can satisfy a request
- Turning repository conventions and tests into concrete implementation steps
Guidelines:
- Read the request, relevant code, nearby tests, and repository guidance before planning
- Inspect manifests and neighboring implementations before choosing dependencies or patterns, because the coder must follow the repository
- Inspect `git status` and `git diff`, because existing work must remain outside the plan
- Name exact repository-relative files when the code identifies them
- Order the plan from implementation through verification so the coder can execute it directly
- Include repository-provided format, check, and test commands when they apply
- IMPORTANT: Keep the plan to one through six steps, because the coder receives it as an execution checklist
- NEVER edit or create files, because planning must leave the workspace unchanged for the coder
- NEVER run build, format, or test commands, because the coder owns verification after making the change
- CRITICAL: Ground every step in inspected repository evidence, because guesses can send the coder into unrelated code
Output:
- Call `finish` once with `plan`, `files`, and `checks`
- `plan` (1-6 items): ordered implementation and verification steps
- `files`: repository-relative files expected to change
- `checks`: exact allowed commands the coder should run
Example outputs:
- `finish({"plan":["Update src/lib.rs to return the sum","Run the focused test"],"files":["src/lib.rs"],"checks":["cargo test"]})`
NOTE: Produce the plan only after inspecting the repository. Leave every edit and check to the coder.
coder.md# Coder
You implement one requested repository change from a plan prepared by the planner.
You inspect the repository, make the smallest complete change, verify it, and report
what changed to the caller.
Your strengths:
- Translating a grounded plan into a narrow, complete code change
- Verifying behavior with repository checks instead of relying on code inspection alone
Guidelines:
- Read the request, plan, named files, nearby tests, and repository guidance before editing
- Recheck the plan against the code, because repository state may reveal a safer or smaller implementation
- Match neighboring style and use existing dependencies, because unverified conventions and libraries can break the project
- Preserve unrelated existing work and limit edits to what the request requires
- Run the repository's relevant format, check, and test commands after editing and repair failures caused by the change
- Inspect `git status` and `git diff` before finishing so the result names every changed file
- IMPORTANT: Record the exact command and `passed` or `failed` for every check you actually ran
- NEVER edit `./session`, because it contains the harness state needed to resume the task
- NEVER report an unexecuted check as passed, because the caller treats `checks` as verification evidence
- NEVER run git write or publishing operations, because the harness grants git only for inspecting work
- CRITICAL: Do not overwrite unrelated changes, because they belong to the caller
Output:
- Reply after each turn with progress, a focused question, or the completed change
- `summary` (1-2 sentences): what changed and why
- `changed_files`: repository-relative paths actually changed
- `checks`: exact commands followed by `passed` or `failed`
Example outputs:
- `Implemented addition using the existing numeric API. Changed files: src/lib.rs. Checks: cargo test: passed.`
NOTE: Do not call `finish`. The user accepts the change or sends another instruction after each reply.

def cargo_tool():
return (
CommandTool("cargo")
.allow("cargo fmt*")
.allow("cargo check*")
.allow("cargo test*")
)
Give both agents Git access and only the coder Cargo access.
planner = (
Agent.from_env()
.label("plan")
.role(Path("planner.md").read_text())
.tool(ListDirectoryTool())
.tool(GlobTool())
.tool(GrepTool())

label="coding",
)
start_coder = Condition(
"task.label = plan AND task.status = finished"

Give the researcher a Brave Search tool and FetchTool. The writer turns shared findings into a cited report.
researcher.md# Researcher
You are a web researcher who gathers source material for the writer. You open
relevant pages and save two to four findings with their source links in shared
knowledge.
Your strengths:
- Finding relevant primary sources
- Distinguishing source evidence from search result descriptions
Guidelines:
- Start with one `brave_search` call
- Open two useful results with `fetch`, because result descriptions can miss context
- Run one more search only when those pages cannot answer the question
- Save each finding and its source link with `knowledge`
- Call `finish` immediately after saving the findings
- NEVER run more than two searches or open more than four pages, because
extra browsing delays the writer
Output:
- Call `finish` once with `summary`
- `summary` (1 sentence): what you saved for the writer
Example outputs:
- `finish({"summary": "Saved three findings with source links."})`
NOTE: Leave the final report to the writer.
writer.md# Writer
You are a report writer who turns shared research into a concise answer for the
reader. You explain the findings clearly and cite their sources.
Your strengths:
- Explaining evidence clearly
- Citing sources and making uncertainty clear
Guidelines:
- Read the available findings with `knowledge`
- Add an inline citation to every factual claim
- Mention missing or conflicting evidence
- NEVER write more than three paragraphs, because the caller expects a concise
report
Output:
- Call `finish` once with `report`
- `report` (1-3 paragraphs): a concise answer with inline citations
Example outputs:
- `finish({"report": "Small tools reduce errors [Source](https://example.com)."})`
NOTE: Keep the report focused on the assigned question.
knowledge = Knowledge("./research")
brave_key = os.environ["BRAVE_API_KEY"]
web_search = brave_search_tool(brave_key)
researcher = Agent.from_env()
researcher.label("research")
researcher.role(Path("researcher.md").read_text())
researcher.knowledge(knowledge)
researcher.tool(web_search).tool(FetchTool())
writer = Agent.from_env()
writer.label("report")
writer.role(Path("writer.md").read_text())
writer.knowledge(knowledge)
Labels route tasks to agents. Queue the report when research finishes.
research_task = Task(
"Research {{ question }} with emphasis on {{ focus }}.",
label="research",
)
report_task = Task(
"Write a cited report answering:\n\n{{ question }}",
label="report",
)
write_report = Condition(
"task.label = research AND task.status = finished"
).task(report_task)
Set the Werk time limit, question, and focus.
werk = Werk()
werk.set_policy(Policy(max_time=300))
werk.set_template("question", "What makes an agent harness efficient?")
werk.set_template("focus", "latency and reliability")
Log saved pages and other events.
def log_research(_, event):

slug = event.get_data().get("slug", "")
print(f"Saved research: {slug}")
else:
print(f"Event: {event.get_name()}")
werk.on_event(log_research)
Register the agents, condition, and task, then wait for the report.
werk.add_agent(researcher)
werk.add_agent(writer)
werk.add_condition(write_report)

Bind move and operate to each crew member. Every finished step sends an event.
move.tool.mdMove to a position in the task's `destinations`.
- Returns `ok` and an updated `observation`.
- Rejected moves also return a `message`.
Travel rules:
- Walking is 1.6 m/s and running is 3.2 m/s.
Carrying equipment slows travel.
- Run if walking would delay the car or a waiting worker.
- Use the arrival time and travel estimates supplied with your task.
- IMPORTANT: Estimates exclude equipment collection, handling, and traffic.
- Walk when time allows, including cleanup.
- Avoid positions listed in `busy_destinations`.
If blocked, try another available position.
Then return to the required destination.
- `operate` does not move you between positions.
For example, `move(destination="storage:bench-1", pace="walk")` walks to bench-1.
operate.tool.mdPick up, put down, or use equipment where you stand.
- Returns `ok` and an updated `observation`.
- Rejected actions also return a `message`.
- NEVER report a rejected action as completed.
Choose the action with `task`:
- `pickup`:
- Supply an inventory `item`.
- You MUST arrive with empty hands.
- Locate stored items by their current `owner`.
For `slot:bench-2`, move to `storage:bench-2`.
- `drop`:
- Supply the held `item` and an empty slot as `target`.
- Stand at that slot first.
- At `storage:bench-2`, use `target="bench-2"`.
- `use`:
- Supply the assigned step as `work` and the assigned `target`.
- Stand at `work:<role>:<target>`.
- For `adjust`, also supply the requested angle in degrees as `value`.
Equipment rules:
- NEVER carry more than one item.
- You can use a wheel gun on any wheel.
- Use the fresh tire for your assigned wheel position.
- Store tools on benches and tires on tire platforms.
No other item may occupy the slot.
- Store unsuitable equipment before collecting a replacement.
- Lift with your assigned jack.
Lifting mounts it and frees your hands.
- Lower the jack empty-handed.
- During cleanup, pick up the lowered jack at its work position.
Return it to its designated storage.
- Brace, clear, and remove tires with empty hands.
- Stay braced until assigned to clear.
- Removal leaves you holding the old tire.
- Fitting puts your fresh tire on the car.
Example: you hold `wing-key-5` at an empty `storage:bench-2`.
Call `operate(task="drop", item="wing-key-5", target="bench-2")` to store it there.
def crew_tools(pit, member):
@tool(name="move", description=(PROMPTS / "move.tool.md").read_text())
def move_tool(destination: str, pace: str):
return pit.move(member.id, destination, pace)
@tool(name="operate", description=(PROMPTS / "operate.tool.md").read_text())

work: str = None, value: float = None):
return pit.operate(member.id, task, item, target, work, value)

Give every crew member both tools.
werk = Werk(".pit-stop")
pit = PitStop(seed=42, werk=werk)
for member in CREW:
role = (PROMPTS / f"{member.role}.md").read_text()
agent = Agent.from_env().label(member.id).role(role)
agent.tools(crew_tools(pit, member))
werk.add_agent(agent)
| Event | When | Starts |
|---|---|---|
car_approaching | The car approaches | Every crew member's preparation |
car_stopped | The car stops on its marks | Lifting and bracing |
car_lifted | The car is up and braced | Loosening and wing adjustment |
wheel_loosened, wheel_removed, wheel_fitted | A wheel is loosened, removed, or fitted | The next step at the same wheel: removal, fitting, then tightening |
pit_service_completed | All wheels and wings are done | Steadiers letting go |
car_unbraced | Both steadiers let go | Lowering |
car_lowered | The car is back on the ground | Every crew member's cleanup |
pit_crew_clear | The jacks are withdrawn and the crew is out of the car's path | The Chief's review |
pit_released | The Chief says GO | The car's departure |
pit_held | The Chief says HOLD, or work fails | Cancelling the run |
car_departed | The car pulls away | The run ends |
Prepare the whole crew when the car approaches. Each task names a position, the equipment, and the work.
Prepare the rear-right wheel station. The car arrives in 15 seconds.
Bring wheel-gun-1 from workbench 3 to the rear-right holding point.
Stay there until the car is stable and you receive your next task.
Choose whether to walk or run. Finish when you are ready.
prepare = Task(assignment, label=member.id, schema=REPORT)
car_approaching = Condition("event.name = car_approaching").task(prepare)
werk.add_condition(car_approaching)
Loosening a wheel sends wheel_loosened.
loosened = Event("wheel_loosened").data({"actor": "gunner-1", "corner": "front-left"})
werk.emit_event(loosened)
Remove the wheel once it is loose.
remove_wheel = Task(removal_task, label=remover.id, schema=REPORT)
wheel_loosened = Condition("event.name = wheel_loosened AND event.data ~ front-left")
wheel_loosened.task(remove_wheel)
werk.add_condition(wheel_loosened)
Let the Chief review all reports once everyone has stepped away from the car.
Review the crew reports and the current state.
Crew reports:
{{ find_results(task.label IN ({{ crew_labels }}) AND task.status = finished ORDER BY task.id)[*].status }}
Before GO:
- Wheels are secured and wings match the requested angles.
- Jacks are lowered and withdrawn from the car.
- The crew is out of the car's path. Equipment storage may still be running.
- You stand at `chief-clear`, out of the car's path.
review_reports = Task(review_task, label="chief", schema=VERDICT)
crew_clear = Condition("event.name = pit_crew_clear").task(review_reports)
werk.add_condition(crew_clear)
Release the car when the Chief says GO, or keep it in the pit box on HOLD. A blocked report starts the Chief’s review early.
def apply_result(werk, task, result):
if task.get_label() == "chief" and "decision" in result:
if result["decision"] == "go":
werk.emit_event(Event("pit_released"))

case _:
return
feed.set_title(title)
werk.on_event(show_title)
Announce the approaching car.
approaching = Event("car_approaching").data({"arrives_in_seconds": 15})
werk.emit_event(approaching)
await werk.finish()
The Chief steps aside once the car is lowered. After GO the car pulls away and emits car_departed.
