Code Structure

Imports

from typing import TypedDict
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, END
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage

Purpose of imports: – TypedDict: For type-safe state definitions – StateGraph: LangGraph’s graph-based workflow orchestration – ChatOpenAI: OpenAI LLM integration – HumanMessage: LangChain message formatting

State Definition

Line-by-Line Explanation

Line 5: Import statement

from typing import TypedDict

Imports TypedDict for creating type-safe state dictionaries.

Line 6: Import statement

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, END

Imports StateGraph – the core LangGraph class for building workflows.

Line 7: Import statement

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

Imports ChatOpenAI for LLM interactions.

Line 8: Import statement

from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage

Imports HumanMessage for formatting prompts to the LLM.

Line 11: Class definition

class PeerReviewState(TypedDict):

Defines the state structure using TypedDict for type safety.

Line 12: Module docstring

    """State for Peer Review pattern."""

Describes the pattern and its purpose.

Line 17: Function agent_function definition

def agent_function(state: PeerReviewState) -> PeerReviewState:

Defines the agent_function function that processes the workflow state.

Line 18: Module docstring

    """Peer Review agent implementation."""

Describes the pattern and its purpose.

Line 26: Function create_peer_review definition

def create_peer_review():

Defines the create_peer_review function that processes the workflow state.

Line 27: Module docstring

    """Create Peer Review workflow."""

Describes the pattern and its purpose.

Usage Example

if __name__ == "__main__":
    workflow = create_peer_review()
    result = workflow.invoke({"input": "Test Peer Review", "output": ""})
    print(f"\n=== Peer Review Pattern ===\nOutput: {result['output'][:200]}...")

---

Key Concepts

1. State Management: Uses TypedDict to maintain workflow state
2. Graph-Based Flow: LangGraph orchestrates execution flow
3. Agent Functions: Each node processes and updates state
4. LLM Integration: Uses ChatOpenAI for intelligent processing

Pattern Benefits

• ✅ Type-safe state management
• ✅ Clear workflow visualization
• ✅ Modular and reusable components
• ✅ Easy to test and debug
• ✅ Scalable architecture
