Technical Specification + +### 3.1 BackpackNode API + +```typescript +/** + * BackpackNode with optional internal flow support + */ +abstract class BackpackNode extends BaseNode { + protected namespace: string; + protected backpack: Backpack; + protected eventStreamer?: EventStreamer; + + private _internalFlow?: Flow; + + /** + * Get internal flow (if this is a composite node) + * Used by FlowLoader for serialization and UI for visualization + */ + get internalFlow(): Flow | undefined { + return this._internalFlow;

+ } +} +``` + +### 3.2 Usage Pattern + +```typescript +/** + * Example: YouTube Research Agent (Composite Node) + */ +class YouTubeResearchAgentNode extends BackpackNode { + static namespaceSegment = "agent"; + + async prep(shared: any): Promise { + const query = this.unpackRequired('searchQuery'); + return { query }; + } + + async _exec(input: any): Promise { + // Create internal flow using standard helper + const flow = this.createInternalFlow();

+analysisNode.on('complete', summaryNode); +decisionNode.on('needs_search', searchNode); +decisionNode.on('direct_answer', answerNode); +``` + +**Issues:** +- ❌ String typos: `'complete'` vs `'completed'` +- ❌ Not discoverable (what actions exist?) +- ❌ Verbose for simple linear flows (90% case) + +### Solution: FlowAction Enum + Convenience Methods + +```typescript +/** + * Standard flow actions + */ +export enum FlowAction { + COMPLETE = 'complete', + ERROR = 'error', + SUCCESS = 'success', + FAILURE = 'failure', + RETRY = 'retry', + DEFAULT = 'default' +} + +/** + * Extended BaseNode with convenience methods + */ +class BaseNode { + // Core API (unchanged - accepts string or enum) + on(action: string | FlowAction, node: BaseNode): this { + this._successors.set(action.toString(), node);

+ } + + onSuccess(node: BaseNode): this { + return this.on(FlowAction.SUCCESS, node); + } + + // Alias for backward compatibility + next(node: T): T { + this.on(FlowAction.DEFAULT, node); + return node; + } +} +``` + +### Three Usage Styles + +```typescript +// Style 1: Convenience methods (cleanest for simple flows) βœ… +searchNode.onComplete(analysisNode); +analysisNode.onComplete(summaryNode); + +// Style 2: Enums (type-safe for standard actions) βœ… +searchNode.on(FlowAction.COMPLETE, analysisNode); +searchNode.on(FlowAction.ERROR, errorHandler); + +// Style 3: Custom strings (full flexibility) βœ… +decisionNode.on('needs_search', searchNode); +decisionNode.on('direct_answer', answerNode); +``` + +### Benefits + +**Progressive Disclosure:** +- Beginners: Use `.onComplete()` for simple flows +- Intermediate: Use `FlowAction` enum for type safety +- Advanced: Use custom strings for complex routing + +**Not "Too Many Ways":** +- Different APIs for different use cases +- Similar pattern to Express.js (`.get()`, `.post()`, `.use()`) +- Similar pattern to jQuery (`.click()`, `.on('click')`) + +### Updated Usage Example + +```typescript +class YouTubeResearchAgentNode extends BackpackNode { + async _exec(input: any): Promise { + const flow = this.createInternalFlow();
