Jido Architecture Guide

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of Jido’s architecture and design principles.

System Components

Agent System

The agent system is built on top of OTP and provides:

• Supervision trees
• State management
• Message passing
• Fault tolerance

Action Framework

Actions are implemented as behaviours:

defmodule MyAction do
  use Jido.Action

  def execute(params, context) do
    # Implementation
  end
end

Skill System

Skills provide reusable capabilities:

• Modular design
• Composable functionality
• Versioning support

Best Practices

• Follow OTP principles
• Use supervision strategies
• Implement proper error handling
• Design for scalability
