pyagent-blueprint¶
Spec-driven development for multi-agent systems — declare your entire agent system in YAML, validate it statically, compile it to a live RuntimeGraph, diff versions semantically, and run it through Studio.
Like Kubernetes for agent systems: infrastructure as code, but for LLM workflows.
Why Blueprint?¶
Writing multi-agent systems in pure Python works — until you need to version them, review them in a PR, test them without hitting real APIs, or hand them off to a team member who doesn't know where the agents are wired together.
Blueprint separates what your system does (the YAML spec) from how it runs (the compiler and runtime). The same file that deploys to production can be statically validated in CI, simulated with MockLLM in tests, and diffed against the previous version in a PR description.
