SequentialWorkflow executes agents in strict linear order.

Use in the following scenarios:

  • Later steps depend on values produced by earlier steps,
  • You want a simple linear pipeline.

How it works:

  • First agent runs and passes shared state forward,
  • Each subsequent agent receives the updated shared state from the previous agent,
  • Run agent 2, then agent 3, and so on,
  • Stop after the final agent in the sequence runs.

buildEdges

protected Method
Signature
buildEdges (agents: BaseAgentLike<TState>[]): GraphEdge<AgentGraphState<TState>>[]

Builds the workflow-specific edges.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
agents
Returns
GraphEdge<AgentGraphState>[]

buildNodes

inheritedprotected Method
Signature
buildNodes (agents: BaseAgentLike<TState>[]): GraphNodes<AgentGraphState<TState>>
Inherited from: BaseWorkflow

Builds the workflow's graph nodes.

Node ids use the agent id plus its position (agent.id_index) instead of only the raw agent id. That prevents collisions when the same agent instance is used multiple times.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
agents
Returns
GraphNodes<AgentGraphState>

generate

inherited Method
Signature
generate (): WorkflowGenerateResult<TState>
Inherited from: BaseWorkflow

Generates the workflow's graph and shared workspace based on the defined agents and their schemas. This method is called by the WorkflowAgent when it generates its graph, and it orchestrates the creation of the workflow's structure, including validating the agents, deriving shared state from their schemas, and building the nodes and edges of the graph.

getAgents

Method
Signature
getAgents (): BaseAgentLike<TState>[]

A list of agents that are part of this workflow.

Returns
BaseAgentLike[]

getEntryNode

protected Method
Signature
getEntryNode (agents: BaseAgentLike<TState>[]): string | undefined

Returns the id of the first node in the workflow graph.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
agents
Returns
string | undefined

isTerminalAgent

protected Method
Signature
isTerminalAgent (agents: BaseAgentLike<TState>[], index: number): boolean

Returns whether the agent at this position should expose terminal runtime fields.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
agents
index
Returns
boolean

validateAgents

protected Method
Signature
validateAgents (agents: BaseAgentLike<TState>[]): void

Validates the workflow configuration and throws if invalid.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
agents
Returns
void
