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

Defines the state structure using TypedDict for type safety.

Line 12: Module docstring

    """State for Verification pattern."""

Describes the pattern and its purpose.

Line 18: Function agent_function definition

def agent_function(state: VerificationState) -> VerificationState:

Defines the agent_function function that processes the workflow state.

Line 19: Module docstring

    """Verification agent implementation."""

Describes the pattern and its purpose.

Usage Example

if __name__ == "__main__":
    workflow = create_verification()
    result = workflow.invoke({"input": "Test Verification", "output": "", "metadata": {}})
    print(f"\n=== Verification 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
