+title: Built-in components
+---
+
+Deep Agents comes with a number of built-in components that help agents perform complex tasks.
+
+## System prompt
+
+Deep Agents comes with a detailed system prompt heavily inspired by Claude Code's architecture. This prompt provides instructions for using the planning tool, file system tools, and sub agents effectively.
+
+## Planning tool
+
+A simple planning tool based on Claude Code's TodoWrite functionality that helps agents create and track plans in their context, keeping them on track for complex tasks.
+
+## File system tools
+
+Four built-in tools that mock a file system using LangGraph's state:
+
+- `ls` - List files and directories
+- `read_file` - Read file contents  
+- `write_file` - Write to files
+- `edit_file` - Edit existing files
+
+Files can be passed in and retrieved via the files key:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+
+```python Python
+# Pass files to the agent
+result = agent.invoke({
+    "messages": [...],
+    "files": {"foo.txt": "file content", ...}
+})
+
+# Access files after execution
+updated_files = result["files"]
+```
+
+```typescript JavaScript
+const result = await agent.invoke({
+  messages: [...],
+  // Pass in files to the agent using this key
+  files: {"foo.txt": "foo", ...}
+});
+
+// Access any files afterwards like this
+result.files;
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Sub-agents
+
+Built-in support for calling specialized sub-agents with the following:
+
+- **Context quarantine**: Prevents polluting the main agent's context
+- **Custom instructions**: Tailored prompts for specific tasks  
+- **Tool access control**: Subagents can have different tool sets
+
+A general-purpose sub-agent with the same instructions and tools as the main agent is always available.

+title: Configuration options
+---
+
+Deep Agents provides a number of configuration options to customize the agent's behavior and capabilities:
+
+- **Tools** (required): The tools that the agent and any subagents will have access to.
+- **Instructions** (required): Custom instructions that serve as part of the agent's prompt. This supplements the built-in system prompt.
+- **Sub-agents**: Specialized subagents for specific tasks.
+- **Model**: The model to use for the agent.
+
+## Tools
+
+Required. A list of tools that the agent and any subagents will have access to.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Required. Custom instructions that serve as part of the agent's prompt. This supplements the built-in system prompt.
+
+## Sub-agents
+
+Define specialized subagents for specific tasks:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+
+```python Python
+subagents = [{
+    "name": "research-agent",
+    "description": "Used to research more in depth questions",
+    "prompt": sub_research_prompt,
+    "tools": ["internet_search"]  # Optional: defaults to all tools
+}]
+
+agent = create_deep_agent(
+    tools=tools,
+    instructions=prompt,
+    subagents=subagents
+)
+```
+
+```typescript JavaScript
+interface SubAgent {
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+  prompt: string;
+  tools?: string[];
+}
+
+const researchSubAgent: SubAgent = {
+  name: "research-agent", 
+  description: "Used to research more in depth questions",
+  prompt: subResearchPrompt,
+};
+
+const agent = createDeepAgent({
+  tools,
+  instructions: prompt,
+  subagents: [researchSubAgent]
+});
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Model
+
+Both the Python and JavaScript implementations default to `"claude-sonnet-4-20250514"` but support custom models:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+
+```python Python
+from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
+
+custom_model = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
+agent = create_deep_agent(
+    tools=tools,
+    instructions=instructions,
+    model=custom_model
+)
+```
+
+```typescript JavaScript
+import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
+
+const customModel = new ChatOpenAI({ model: "gpt-4" });
+const agent = createDeepAgent({
+  tools,
+  instructions,
+  model: customModel
+});
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>

+title: Deep Agents
+sidebarTitle: Overview
+---
+
+Using an LLM to call tools in a loop is the simplest form of an agent. This architecture, however, can yield agents that are "shallow" and fail to plan and act over longer, more complex tasks. Applications like "Deep Research", "Manus", and "Claude Code" have gotten around this limitation by implementing a combination of four things: a **planning tool**, **sub agents**, access to a **file system**, and a **detailed prompt**.
+
+Deep Agents implements these components in a general purpose way so that you can easily create sophisticated agents for your application, available in both **Python** and **JavaScript/TypeScript**.
+
+## Key features
+
+- **Planning Tool**: Built-in planning capabilities to break down complex tasks and enable long-term planning.
+- **Persistent state**: Memory between tool calls beyond conversation history.
+- **Sub-agents**: Specialized agents for specific tasks with context quarantine.  
+- **Virtual File System**: Mock file system for persistent state without conflicts.
+- **Detailed System Prompt**: Prompts, heavily inspired by Claude Code, leverage proven patterns.
+
+Deep Agents implements the architectural patterns that make sophisticated agents like Claude Code effective.
+
+## Installation
+
+<CodeGroup>
+
+```bash pip
+pip install deepagents
+```
+
+```bash yarn
+yarn add deepagents
+```
+
+```bash npm
+npm install deepagents
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+## Implementations
+
+Deep Agents is available in both [**Python**](https://github.com/hwchase17/deepagents) and [**JavaScript**](https://www.npmjs.com/package/deepagents).
+
+## Acknowledgements
+
+This project was primarily inspired by Claude Code and is an attempt to better understand Claude Code and extend it.

+To create a research agent that can conduct thorough investigations:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+
+```python Python
+from tavily import TavilyClient
+from deepagents import create_deep_agent
+import os
+
+def internet_search(query):
+    tavily_client = TavilyClient(api_key=os.environ["TAVILY_API_KEY"])
+    return tavily_client.search(query)
+
+research_instructions = """You are an expert researcher. 
+Your job is to conduct thorough research, and then write a polished report.
+
+You have access to tools for internet search and file operations.
+"""
+
+agent = create_deep_agent(
+    tools=[internet_search],
+    instructions=research_instructions
+)
+
+result = agent.invoke({
+    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "what is langgraph?"}]
+})
+```
+
+```typescript JavaScript
+import { TavilySearch } from "@langchain/tavily";
+import { createDeepAgent } from "deepagents";
+
+// Search tool to use to do research
+const internetSearch = new TavilySearch({
+  maxResults: 5,
+  tavilyApiKey: process.env.TAVILY_API_KEY,
+});
+
+// Prompt prefix to steer the agent to be an expert researcher
+const researchInstructions = `You are an expert researcher. Your job is to conduct thorough research, and then write a polished report.
+
+You have access to a few tools.
+
+## \`internet_search\`
+
+Use this to run an internet search for a given query. You can specify the number of results, the topic, and whether raw content should be included.
+`;
+
+// Create the agent
+const agent = createDeepAgent({
+  tools: [internetSearch],
+  instructions: researchInstructions,
+});
+
+// Invoke the agent
+const result = await agent.invoke({
+  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "what is langgraph?" }]
+});
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+The agent created with `createDeepAgent` is a LangGraph graph, so you can interact with it (streaming, human-in-the-loop, memory, studio) the same way you would any LangGraph agent.
