**Revolutionary effects-first architecture that makes traditional multi-agent systems look primitive.**

Autogentic v2.0 is a sophisticated multi-agent system built with Elixir that enables the creation of intelligent, reasoning-capable agents that can coordinate complex workflows, learn from experience, and adapt their behavior over time.

## ✨ Key Features

### 🎭 **Advanced Effects System**
- **20+ Built-in Effects**: From simple logging to complex multi-agent coordination
- **Composable Workflows**: Sequence, parallel, and race execution patterns
- **Error Handling**: Retry, compensation, circuit breaker, and timeout patterns
- **Context Management**: Sophisticated state management across effect chains

### 🧠 **AI-Powered Reasoning Engine**
- **Multi-Dimensional Analysis**: Assessment, evaluation, synthesis, and prediction
- **Confidence Scoring**: Each reasoning step includes confidence metrics
- **Knowledge Base Integration**: Query and learn from accumulated knowledge
- **Pattern Recognition**: Automatically identify and store successful reasoning patterns

### 🤖 **Intelligent Agent Framework**
- **Declarative Agent Definition**: Define agents with simple, expressive DSL
- **State Machine Architecture**: Robust state transitions with effect-driven behavior
- **Multi-Agent Coordination**: Built-in communication and collaboration primitives
- **Adaptive Behavior**: Agents learn and evolve their strategies over time

### 🎓 **Continuous Learning System**
- **Cross-Agent Knowledge Sharing**: Agents share insights and learned patterns
- **Behavioral Adaptation**: Automatic strategy refinement based on outcomes
- **Performance Optimization**: Self-improving system efficiency over time
- **Reasoning Pattern Storage**: Accumulate and reuse successful decision-making approaches

### 🏗️ **Enterprise-Grade Reliability**
- **Circuit Breakers**: Prevent cascading failures in distributed systems
- **Compensation Patterns**: Automatic rollback and recovery mechanisms
- **Retry Logic**: Configurable retry strategies with exponential backoff
- **Graceful Degradation**: System continues operating even with partial failures

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- Elixir 1.15+ 
- Erlang/OTP 24+

### Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/c-u-l8er/autogentic.git
cd autogentic
mix deps.get
```

### Run Your First Agent

```elixir
# Start the Autogentic system
iex -S mix

# Create a simple agent
defmodule MyFirstAgent do
  use Autogentic.Agent, name: :my_agent

  agent :my_agent do
    capability [:greeting]
    initial_state :ready
  end

  state :ready do
    # Agent is ready for interactions
  end

  transition from: :ready, to: :ready, when_receives: :hello do
    sequence do
      log(:info, "Hello from Autogentic!")
      put_data(:greetings_count, 1)
      emit_event(:greeting_sent, %{agent: :my_agent})
    end
  end
end

# Start and interact with your agent
{:ok, pid} = MyFirstAgent.start_link()
GenStateMachine.cast(pid, :hello)
```

### Running Examples

```bash
# Recommended: Use the example runner (ensures system is properly initialized)
mix run run_example.exs examples/basic/hello_agent.exs
mix run run_example.exs examples/coordination/deployment_team.exs

# Alternative: Run in interactive mode
iex -S mix
iex> c "examples/basic/hello_agent.exs"
iex> HelloAgentExample.run()

# List all available examples
mix run run_example.exs
```

## 🎯 Core Concepts

### Effects-First Architecture

Autogentic is built around the concept of **effects** - declarative descriptions of what should happen:

```elixir
# Simple effect
{:log, :info, "Hello World"}

# Complex workflow
{:sequence, [
  {:put_data, :start_time, DateTime.utc_now()},
  {:parallel, [
    {:delay, 100},
    {:log, :info, "Processing..."},
    {:emit_event, :started, %{}}
  ]},
  {:put_data, :completed, true}
]}
```

### Agent Coordination

Agents communicate through reasoning broadcasts and event emissions:

```elixir
# Agent A shares insights with Agent B
broadcast_reasoning("Analysis complete", [:agent_b])

# Agent B receives and processes the shared reasoning
behavior :process_shared_reasoning, triggers_on: [:reasoning_shared] do
  sequence do
    log(:info, "Received insight from peer agent")
    put_data(:external_insight_received, true)
    adapt_coordination_strategy(%{collaboration_level: :high})
  end
end
```

### Reasoning Integration

Every agent can perform sophisticated reasoning:

```elixir
# Start a reasoning session
{:ok, session_id} = Autogentic.start_reasoning("deployment_decision", context)

# Add reasoning steps
step = %{
  question: "Is the system ready for deployment?",
  analysis_type: :assessment,
  context_required: [:system_health, :test_results]
}

{:ok, processed_step} = Autogentic.Reasoning.Engine.add_reasoning_step(session_id, step)

# Get conclusion with confidence score
{:ok, conclusion} = Autogentic.Reasoning.Engine.conclude_reasoning_session(session_id)
```

## 🧪 Testing

Autogentic comes with a comprehensive test suite covering all major functionality:

```bash
# Run all tests
mix test

# Run with coverage
mix test --cover

# Run specific test categories
mix test test/autogentic/effects/
mix test test/autogentic/reasoning/
mix test test/autogentic/agent/
```

**Current Test Status**: 64 tests passing ✅
