LangChain Architecture

Master the LangChain framework for building sophisticated LLM applications with agents, chains, memory, and tool integration.

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to langchain architecture
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.

Use this skill when

  • Building autonomous AI agents with tool access
  • Implementing complex multi-step LLM workflows
  • Managing conversation memory and state
  • Integrating LLMs with external data sources and APIs
  • Creating modular, reusable LLM application components
  • Implementing document processing pipelines
  • Building production-grade LLM applications

Core Concepts

1. Agents

Autonomous systems that use LLMs to decide which actions to take.

Agent Types:

  • ReAct: Reasoning + Acting in interleaved manner
  • OpenAI Functions: Leverages function calling API
  • Structured Chat: Handles multi-input tools
  • Conversational: Optimized for chat interfaces
  • Self-Ask with Search: Decomposes complex queries
2. Chains

Sequences of calls to LLMs or other utilities.

Chain Types:

  • LLMChain: Basic prompt + LLM combination
  • SequentialChain: Multiple chains in sequence
  • RouterChain: Routes inputs to specialized chains
  • TransformChain: Data transformations between steps
  • MapReduceChain: Parallel processing with aggregation
3. Memory

Systems for maintaining context across interactions.

Memory Types:

  • ConversationBufferMemory: Stores all messages
  • ConversationSummaryMemory: Summarizes older messages
  • ConversationBufferWindowMemory: Keeps last N messages
  • EntityMemory: Tracks information about entities
  • VectorStoreMemory: Semantic similarity retrieval
4. Document Processing

Loading, transforming, and storing documents for retrieval.

Components:

  • Document Loaders: Load from various sources
  • Text Splitters: Chunk documents intelligently
  • Vector Stores: Store and retrieve embeddings
  • Retrievers: Fetch relevant documents
  • Indexes: Organize documents for efficient access
5. Callbacks

Hooks for logging, monitoring, and debugging.

Use Cases:

  • Request/response logging
  • Token usage tracking
  • Latency monitoring
  • Error handling
  • Custom metrics collection

Version and execution scope

The inline code uses legacy LangChain APIs/imports. LangChain v1 moved legacy chains and related functionality into langchain-classic; do not install latest and assume these snippets run unchanged. For new code use the official v1 migration guide and supported agent/state APIs: https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/migrate/langchain-v1 . Pin compatible provider packages and verify their imports. Tools below are placeholders, not real database/email integrations; never report an email sent without a verified authorized side effect. Bound iterations, tokens and paid tools; isolate tenant memory and treat retrieved text as untrusted. Logs must redact prompts, results and credentials.

Quick Start

python
from langchain.agents import AgentType, initialize_agent, load_tools
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferMemory
# Initialize LLM
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
# Load tools
tools = load_tools(["serpapi", "llm-math"], llm=llm)
# Add memory
memory = ConversationBufferMemory(memory_key="chat_history")
# Create agent
agent = initialize_agent(
tools,
llm,
agent=AgentType.CONVERSATIONAL_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
memory=memory,
verbose=True
)
# Run agent
result = agent.run("What's the weather in SF? Then calculate 25 * 4")

Architecture Patterns

Pattern 1: RAG with LangChain
python
from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA
from langchain.document_loaders import TextLoader
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
# Load and process documents
loader = TextLoader('documents.txt')
documents = loader.load()
text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=200)
texts = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)
# Create vector store
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(texts, embeddings)
# Create retrieval chain
qa_chain = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(
llm=llm,
chain_type="stuff",
retriever=vectorstore.as_retriever(),
return_source_documents=True
)
# Query
result = qa_chain({"query": "What is the main topic?"})
Pattern 2: Custom Agent with Tools
python
from langchain.agents import Tool, AgentExecutor
from langchain.agents.react.base import ReActDocstoreAgent
from langchain.tools import tool
@tool
def search_database(query: str) -> str:
"""Search internal database for information."""
# Your database search logic
return f"Results for: {query}"
@tool
def send_email(recipient: str, content: str) -> str:
"""Send an email to specified recipient."""
# Email sending logic
raise NotImplementedError("Configure an authorized email adapter and verify delivery before reporting success")
tools = [search_database, send_email]
agent = initialize_agent(
tools,
llm,
agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
verbose=True
)
Pattern 3: Multi-Step Chain
python
from langchain.chains import LLMChain, SequentialChain
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate
# Step 1: Extract key information
extract_prompt = PromptTemplate(
input_variables=["text"],
template="Extract key entities from: {text}\n\nEntities:"
)
extract_chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=extract_prompt, output_key="entities")
# Step 2: Analyze entities
analyze_prompt = PromptTemplate(
input_variables=["entities"],
template="Analyze these entities: {entities}\n\nAnalysis:"
)
analyze_chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=analyze_prompt, output_key="analysis")
# Step 3: Generate summary
summary_prompt = PromptTemplate(
input_variables=["entities", "analysis"],
template="Summarize:\nEntities: {entities}\nAnalysis: {analysis}\n\nSummary:"
)
summary_chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=summary_prompt, output_key="summary")
# Combine into sequential chain
overall_chain = SequentialChain(
chains=[extract_chain, analyze_chain, summary_chain],
input_variables=["text"],
output_variables=["entities", "analysis", "summary"],
verbose=True
)

Memory Management Best Practices

Choosing the Right Memory Type
python
# For short conversations (< 10 messages)
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferMemory
memory = ConversationBufferMemory()
# For long conversations (summarize old messages)
from langchain.memory import ConversationSummaryMemory
memory = ConversationSummaryMemory(llm=llm)
# For sliding window (last N messages)
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferWindowMemory
memory = ConversationBufferWindowMemory(k=5)
# For entity tracking
from langchain.memory import ConversationEntityMemory
memory = ConversationEntityMemory(llm=llm)
# For semantic retrieval of relevant history
from langchain.memory import VectorStoreRetrieverMemory
memory = VectorStoreRetrieverMemory(retriever=retriever)

Callback System

Custom Callback Handler
python
from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler
class CustomCallbackHandler(BaseCallbackHandler):
def on_llm_start(self, serialized, prompts, **kwargs):
print("LLM started")
def on_llm_end(self, response, **kwargs):
print("LLM ended")
def on_llm_error(self, error, **kwargs):
print(f"LLM error: {error}")
def on_chain_start(self, serialized, inputs, **kwargs):
print("Chain started")
def on_agent_action(self, action, **kwargs):
print("Agent action selected")
# Use callback
agent.run("query", callbacks=[CustomCallbackHandler()])

Testing Strategies

python
import pytest
from unittest.mock import Mock
def test_agent_tool_selection():
# Mock LLM to return specific tool selection
mock_llm = Mock()
mock_llm.predict.return_value = "Action: search_database\nAction Input: test query"
agent = initialize_agent(tools, mock_llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION)
result = agent.run("test query")
# Verify correct tool was selected
# Assert the actual selected tool invocation with a compatible fake model/tool spy;
# call arguments to the model only show the prompt, not tool execution.
def test_memory_persistence():
memory = ConversationBufferMemory()
memory.save_context({"input": "Hi"}, {"output": "Hello!"})
assert "Hi" in memory.load_memory_variables({})['history']
assert "Hello!" in memory.load_memory_variables({})['history']

Performance Optimization

1. Caching
python
from langchain.cache import InMemoryCache
import langchain
langchain.llm_cache = InMemoryCache()
2. Batch Processing
python
# Process multiple documents in parallel
from langchain.document_loaders import DirectoryLoader
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
loader = DirectoryLoader('./docs')
docs = loader.load()
def process_doc(doc):
return text_splitter.split_documents([doc])
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as executor:
split_docs = list(executor.map(process_doc, docs))
3. Streaming Responses
python
from langchain.callbacks.streaming_stdout import StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler
llm = OpenAI(streaming=True, callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()])

  2. Tool Selection Errors: Poor tool descriptions confuse agents
  3. Context Window Exceeded: Exceeding LLM token limits
  4. No Error Handling: Not catching and handling agent failures
  5. Inefficient Retrieval: Not optimizing vector store queries
