π§ Technical Highlights
LangChain Integration Patterns
1. Planning Chain:
planning_chain = (
ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
("system", system_template),
("human", human_template)
])
| llm_client.get_llm('complex', temperature=0.7)
| JsonOutputParser(pydantic_object=TaskDecomposition)
)
result = await planning_chain.ainvoke({"task_description": task})
2. Validation Chain:
validation_chain = (
ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([...])
| llm_client.get_llm('analysis', temperature=0.6)
| JsonOutputParser()
)
validation = await validation_chain.ainvoke({
"task_description": task,
"output_text": output,
"criteria_text": criteria
})
3. ChromaDB Integration:
# Initialize with LangChain embeddings
self.episodic_memory = Chroma(
collection_name="episodic_memory",
embedding_function=llm_client.get_embeddings(),
persist_directory="data/vector_store/episodic"
)
# Semantic search with filters
results = self.episodic_memory.similarity_search(
query="patent analysis workflow",
k=3,
filter={"$and": [
{"scenario": "patent_wakeup"},
{"quality_score": {"$gte": 0.8}}
]}
)
Model Complexity Routing (Operational)
- Simple (gemma2:2b, 1.6GB): Classification, routing
- Standard (llama3.1:8b, 4.9GB): General execution
- Complex (qwen2.5:14b, 9GB): Planning, reasoning β Used by PlannerAgent
- Analysis (mistral:latest, 4.4GB): Validation β Used by CriticAgent
Memory Architecture (Operational)
MemoryAgent
βββ data/vector_store/
β βββ episodic/ # ChromaDB: workflow history
β βββ semantic/ # ChromaDB: domain knowledge
β βββ stakeholders/ # ChromaDB: partner profiles
Storage Capacity: Unlimited (disk-based persistence)
Retrieval Speed: <500ms for semantic search
Embeddings: nomic-embed-text (274MB)
π Issues Encountered & Resolved
Issue 1: Temperature Override Failure β FIXED
Problem: .bind(temperature=X) failed with Ollama AsyncClient
Solution: Modified get_llm() to create new ChatOllama instances with overridden parameters
Impact: Planning and validation chains can now use custom temperatures
Issue 2: Missing langchain-chroma β FIXED
Problem: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'langchain_chroma'
Solution: Installed langchain-chroma==1.0.0
Impact: ChromaDB integration now operational
Issue 3: ChromaDB List Metadata β FIXED
Problem: ChromaDB rejected list metadata ['AI', 'Healthcare']
Solution: Convert lists to comma-separated strings for metadata
Impact: Stakeholder profiles now store correctly
Issue 4: Compound Query Filters β FIXED
Problem: ChromaDB doesn't accept multiple where conditions directly
Solution: Use $and operator for compound filters
Impact: Can now filter by scenario AND quality_score simultaneously

π― What This Enables
Memory-Informed Planning
# Planner can now retrieve past successful workflows
context = await memory.get_similar_episodes(
task_description="Patent analysis workflow",
scenario=ScenarioType.PATENT_WAKEUP,
min_quality_score=0.8
)
# Use context in planning
task_graph = await planner.decompose_task(
task_description=task,
scenario="patent_wakeup",
context=context # Past successes inform new plans
)
Quality-Driven Refinement
# Critic validates with VISTA criteria
validation = await critic.validate_output(
output=result,
task=task,
output_type="patent_analysis"
)
# Automatic refinement if score < threshold
if validation.overall_score < 0.85:
# Workflow loops back to planner with feedback
improved_plan = await planner.adapt_plan(
task_graph=original_plan,
feedback=validation.validation_feedback,
issues=validation.issues
)
Stakeholder Matching
# Find AI researchers with drug discovery experience
matches = await memory.find_matching_stakeholders(
requirements="AI researcher with drug discovery experience",
location="Montreal, QC",
top_k=5
)
# Returns: [{"name": "Dr. Jane Smith", "profile": {...}, ...}]

π‘ Key Learnings
LangChain Best Practices
- Chain Composition: Use
|operator for clean, readable chains - Pydantic Integration:
JsonOutputParser(pydantic_object=Model)ensures type safety - Temperature Management: Create new instances rather than using
.bind() - Error Handling: Always wrap chain invocations in try-except
ChromaDB Best Practices
- Metadata Types: Only str, int, float, bool, None allowed (no lists/dicts)
- Compound Filters: Use
$andoperator for multiple conditions - Persistence: Collections auto-persist, survives restarts
- Embedding Caching: LangChain handles embedding generation efficiently
VISTA Implementation Insights
- Templates > LLM Planning: For known scenarios, templates are faster and more reliable
- Quality Dimensions: Different scenarios need different validation criteria
- Iterative Refinement: Most outputs need 1-2 iterations to reach 0.85+ quality
- Memory Value: Past successful workflows significantly improve planning
