Learning SDK Integration

Overview

This skill provides universal patterns for adding persistent memory to LLM agents using the Learning SDK through a 3-line integration pattern that works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and other LLM providers.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Building LLM agents that need memory across sessions
• Implementing conversation history persistence
• Adding context-aware capabilities to existing agents
• Creating multi-agent systems with shared memory
• Working with any LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc.)

Core Integration Pattern

Basic 3-Line Integration

from agentic_learning import learning

# Wrap LLM SDK calls to enable memory
with learning(agent="my-agent"):
    response = openai.chat.completions.create(...)

Async Integration

from agentic_learning import learning_async

# For async LLM SDK usage
async with learning_async(agent="my-agent"):
    response = await claude.messages.create(...)

Provider-Specific Examples

OpenAI Integration

from openai import OpenAI
from agentic_learning import learning_async

class MemoryEnhancedOpenAIAgent:
    def __init__(self, api_key: str, agent_name: str):
        self.client = OpenAI(api_key=api_key)
        self.agent_name = agent_name
    
    async def chat(self, message: str, model: str = "gpt-4"):
        async with learning_async(agent=self.agent_name):
            response = await self.client.chat.completions.create(
                model=model,
                messages=[{"role": "user", "content": message}]
            )
            return response.choices[0].message.content

Claude Integration

from anthropic import Anthropic
from agentic_learning import learning_async

class MemoryEnhancedClaudeAgent:
    def __init__(self, api_key: str, agent_name: str):
        self.client = Anthropic(api_key=api_key)
        self.agent_name = agent_name
    
    async def chat(self, message: str, model: str = "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"):
        async with learning_async(agent=self.agent_name):
            response = await self.client.messages.create(
                model=model,
                max_tokens=1000,
                messages=[{"role": "user", "content": message}]
            )
            return response.content[0].text

Gemini Integration

import google.generativeai as genai
from agentic_learning import learning_async

class MemoryEnhancedGeminiAgent:
    def __init__(self, api_key: str, agent_name: str):
        genai.configure(api_key=api_key)
        self.model = genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-pro')
        self.agent_name = agent_name
    
    async def chat(self, message: str):
        async with learning_async(agent=self.agent_name):
            response = await self.model.generate_content_async(message)
            return response.text

PydanticAI Integration

from pydantic_ai import Agent
from agentic_learning import learning

agent = Agent('anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-20250514')

with learning(agent="pydantic-demo"):
    result = agent.run_sync("Hello!")

Advanced Patterns

Memory-Only Mode (Capture Without Injection)

# Use capture_only=True to save conversations without memory injection
async with learning_async(agent="research-agent", capture_only=True):
    # Conversation will be saved but no memory will be retrieved/injected
    response = await llm_call(...)

Custom Memory Blocks

# Define custom memory blocks for specific context
custom_memory = [
    {"label": "project_context", "description": "Current project details"},
    {"label": "user_preferences", "description": "User's working preferences"}
]

async with learning_async(agent="my-agent", memory=custom_memory):
    response = await llm_call(...)

Multi-Agent Memory Sharing

# Multiple agents can share memory by using the same agent name
agent1 = MemoryEnhancedOpenAIAgent(api_key, "shared-agent")
agent2 = MemoryEnhancedClaudeAgent(api_key, "shared-agent")

# Both agents will access the same memory context
response1 = await agent1.chat("Research topic X")
response2 = await agent2.chat("Summarize our research")

Context-Aware Tool Selection

async def context_aware_tool_use():
    async with learning_async(agent="tool-selector"):
        # Memory will help agent choose appropriate tools
        memories = await get_memories("tool-selector")
        
        if "web_search_needed" in str(memories):
            return use_web_search()
        elif "data_analysis" in str(memories):
            return use_data_tools()
        else:
            return use_default_tools()

Best Practices

1. Agent Naming

• Use descriptive agent names that reflect their purpose
• For related functionality, use consistent naming patterns
• Example: email-processor, research-assistant, code-reviewer

2. Memory Structure

# Good: Specific, purposeful memory blocks
memory_blocks = [
    {"label": "conversation_history", "description": "Recent conversation context"},
    {"label": "task_context", "description": "Current task and goals"},
    {"label": "user_preferences", "description": "User interaction preferences"}
]

3. Error Handling

async def robust_llm_call(message: str):
    try:
        async with learning_async(agent="my-agent"):
            return await llm_sdk_call(...)
    except Exception as e:
        # Fallback without memory if learning fails
        return await llm_sdk_call(...)

4. Provider Selection Patterns

def choose_provider(task_type: str, budget: str, latency_requirement: str):
    """Select LLM provider based on task requirements"""
    
    if task_type == "code_generation" and budget == "high":
        return "claude-3-5-sonnet"  # Best for code
    elif task_type == "general_chat" and budget == "low":
        return "gpt-3.5-turbo"  # Cost-effective
    elif latency_requirement == "ultra_low":
        return "gemini-1.5-flash"  # Fastest
    else:
        return "gpt-4"  # Good all-rounder

Memory Management

Retrieving Conversation History

from agentic_learning import AsyncAgenticLearning

async def get_conversation_context(agent_name: str):
    client = AsyncAgenticLearning()
    memories = await client.get_memories(agent_name)
    return memories

Clearing Memory

# When starting fresh contexts
client = AsyncAgenticLearning()
await client.clear_memory(agent_name)

Integration Examples

Universal Research Agent

class UniversalResearchAgent:
    def __init__(self, provider: str, api_key: str):
        self.provider = provider
        self.client = self._initialize_client(provider, api_key)
    
    def _initialize_client(self, provider: str, api_key: str):
        if provider == "openai":
            from openai import OpenAI
            return OpenAI(api_key=api_key)
        elif provider == "claude":
            from anthropic import Anthropic
            return Anthropic(api_key=api_key)
        elif provider == "gemini":
            import google.generativeai as genai
            genai.configure(api_key=api_key)
            return genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-pro')
    
    async def research(self, topic: str):
        async with learning_async(
            agent="universal-researcher",
            memory=[
                {"label": "research_history", "description": "Previous research topics"},
                {"label": "current_session", "description": "Current research session"}
            ]
        ):
            prompt = f"Research the topic: {topic}. Consider previous research context."
            response = await self._make_llm_call(prompt)
            return response

Multi-Provider Code Review Assistant

class CodeReviewAssistant:
    def __init__(self, providers: dict):
        self.providers = providers
        self.clients = {name: self._init_client(name, key) 
                       for name, key in providers.items()}
    
    async def review_with_multiple_perspectives(self, code: str):
        reviews = {}
        
        for provider_name, client in self.clients.items():
            async with learning_async(
                agent=f"code-reviewer-{provider_name}",
                memory=[
                    {"label": "review_history", "description": "Past code reviews"},
                    {"label": "coding_standards", "description": "Project standards"}
                ]
            ):
                prompt = f"Review this code from {provider_name} perspective: {code}"
                reviews[provider_name] = await self._make_llm_call(client, prompt)
        
        # Synthesize multiple perspectives
        return await self._synthesize_reviews(reviews)

Testing Integration

Unit Test Pattern

import pytest
from agentic_learning import learning_async

async def test_memory_integration():
    async with learning_async(agent="test-agent"):
        # Test that memory is working
        response = await llm_sdk_call("Remember this test")
        
        # Verify memory was captured
        client = AsyncAgenticLearning()
        memories = await client.get_memories("test-agent")
        assert len(memories) > 0

@pytest.mark.parametrize("provider", ["openai", "claude", "gemini"])
async def test_provider_memory_integration(provider):
    # Test memory works with each provider
    agent = create_agent(provider, api_key)
    response = await agent.chat("Test message")
    assert response is not None

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Memory not appearing: Ensure agent name is consistent across calls
2. Performance issues: Use capture_only=True for logging-only scenarios
3. Context overflow: Regularly clear memory for long-running sessions
4. Async conflicts: Always use learning_async with async SDK calls
5. Provider compatibility: Check SDK version compatibility with Agentic Learning SDK

Debug Mode

# Enable debug logging to see memory operations
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

async with learning_async(agent="debug-agent"):
    # Memory operations will be logged
    response = await llm_sdk_call(...)

Provider-Specific Considerations

OpenAI

• Works best with chat.completions endpoint
• Supports both sync and async clients
• Token counting available for cost tracking

Claude

• Use messages endpoint for conversation
• Handles long context well
• Good for code and analysis tasks

Gemini

• Use generate_content_async for async
• Supports multimodal inputs
• Fast response times
