WorkflowKind

Namespace AgentPrism · Assembly AgentPrism.Abstractions.dll

Represents the built-in workflow patterns that can be defined through the UI.

[JsonConverter(typeof(JsonStringEnumConverter<WorkflowKind>))]
public enum WorkflowKind

Fields

Section titled “Fields”

Concurrent = 1

Agents run at the same time; results are merged.

GroupChat = 3

A manager distributes turns among participating agents. WorkflowDefinition.MaxIterations limits the turn count.

Handoff = 2

The first agent starts the work and hands off to another agent when needed. The model itself decides on the handoff.

Magentic = 4

The manager agent builds a plan, tracks progress, and replans when needed. WorkflowDefinition.ManagerAgentName is required.

Sequential = 0

Agents run in sequence; each one’s output is the next one’s input.

Remarks

Section titled “Remarks”

This list is deliberately closed. A workflow defined through the UI only wires together agents from the catalog; it produces no new behavior. A free-form graph (custom Executor types) can only be defined in code. The code-only tools rule states that tools are only defined in code“.

Written as a name in JSON ("Sequential"), not a number. Also stored as a name in the database: workflows.definition is a JSON document, and making old rows unreadable if the value order changes is not acceptable.
