从零开始LLM生活-如何编写一个Agent

LuYanFCP

2025/05/27

本文希望使用通俗的语言表述什么是LLM Agent 和使用python实现一个简单的Agent

1. Agent介绍

1.1 什么是Agent?

LLM Agent并没有一个明确的定义,但是有一个核心特点就是

An LLM serves as the main controller or “brain” that controls a flow of operations needed to complete a task or user request. —《Prompt Engineering Guide》

LLM Agent 是一个基于大型语言模型(LLM)的系统,它不仅仅被动地响应查询,更能自主地制定计划、利用工具/资源与外部环境交互,并根据观察结果调整行为,以达成特定目标。与简单的LLM调用相比,Agent更强调其自主性、规划能力和工具使用能力.

1.2 LLM Agent可以解决什么样的问题?

If that deterministic workflow fits all queries, by all means just code everything! This will give you a 100% reliable system with no risk of error introduced by letting unpredictable LLMs meddle in your workflow. For the sake of simplicity and robustness, it’s advised to regularize towards not using any agentic behaviour.

But what if the workflow can’t be determined that well in advance?

For instance, a user wants to ask : "I can come on Monday, but I forgot my passport so risk being delayed to Wednesday, is it possible to take me and my stuff to surf on Tuesday morning, with a cancellation insurance?" This question hinges on many factors, and probably none of the predetermined criteria above will suffice for this request.

If the pre-determined workflow falls short too often, that means you need more flexibility.

That is where an agentic setup helps.

由于LLM的能力 LLM Agent解决的问题【ML要解决的问题】主要是针对场景是:

  1. 自然语言/图片/视频等非逻辑数据输入的场景。【比如说语义化搜索】。
  2. 有很多根据上下文的分支判断,即规则过于复杂,难以枚举。【比如说推荐系统】。
  3. 模式难以明确表达或未知。 【比如说诈骗邮件】
  4. 依赖于大量不确定或模糊的信息。【对话机器人】

一个笑话:领导和下属的对话,意思意思,这什么意思,这你就不够意思了?小意思,这几个意思 都是什么意思?

以下是 DeepSeek 的回答 DeepSeek的回答

基本的共识:

  1. 如果是一个运维系统,下线机器,每个步骤和处理都是明确的,那么代码就可以了。
  2. 如果是一个涉及到提到上述4点特征的问题,推荐使用LLM Agent。

1.3 LLM 的能力边界【2025年5月】

推荐几个日常分享Benchmark的博主: @karminski3【X】【Github】、

标准的Benchmark:

  1. https://huggingface.co/open-llm-leaderboard
  2. https://livebench.ai/#/
  3. https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/

我个人的一些感受:

  1. 编程辅助类产品【Cursor/Windsurf/Github Copilot】: VibeCode体验上以及非常好了,尤其是Cursor,单个工具实现非常好,但是整体代码工程性不太好。容易走捷径,喜欢偷偷改依赖和配置做临时解决。对Rust等规则规则过于复杂语言补全还是有问题。代码能力JS/TS = Python »> 其他语言,可能训练样本的问题。VibeCode生态衍生的出来的Paas需求巨大,比如说Nextjs-vercel/Firebase/Cloudflare Worker类产品。
  2. 通用类Agent:DeepSearch/Deepwiki/Notebooklm 产品用起来很好用,但是细节有幻觉,核实成本巨大。不严肃的场景非常好用。
  3. 基础模型:编程:Claude3.5/3.7 = Gemini2.5 Pro系列, 非Think > Think,其他推荐直接用Gemini2.5 Pro
  4. 写作:用的不多,但是据说Deepseek R1系列会比较好,幻觉比较严重同样想象力天马行空。

2. 如何写一个LLM Agent程序

LLM Agent中LLM与程序之间的交互需要定义一个规则进行交互,比如说最常用的ReAct框架,就是定义几个关键词和一些输入输出的格式,从而与让框架与LLM之间可以交互。

2.1 核心理念 ReAct Agent

大型语言模型(LLM)本身擅长生成文本和理解语言,但在需要执行多步骤推理、与外部世界交互或使用工具来获取最新信息时,其能力会受到限制。ReAct (Reasoning and Acting) 框架就是为了解决这个问题而提出的。它巧妙地将LLM的推理能力 (Reasoning) 与行动能力 (Acting) 结合起来,使LLM能够像人一样思考并采取行动来解决复杂问题。在构建LLM Agent时,我们期望Agent不仅仅是简单地调用LLM进行问答,而是能够:

ReAct通过一种结构化的Prompt工程方法,引导LLM生成包含“思考(Thought)”和“行动(Action)”的中间步骤,从而实现上述目标。

2.1.1 ReAct简介 (介绍Thought, Action, Observation)

ReAct

ReAct的核心在于一个迭代循环,LLM在这个循环中交替进行思考和行动,直到任务完成。这个循环主要包含以下三个关键元素:

  1. Thought (思考): 这是LLM对当前任务状态的分析、推理和下一步计划的内部独白。它帮助LLM决定接下来应该做什么。例如:“我需要知道X公司的股价,我有一个可以查询股价的工具。”
  2. Action (行动): 基于“思考”,LLM决定采取的具体行动。这通常是调用一个外部工具并提供必要的参数,或者决定直接给出最终答案。例如:Tool: get_stock_price, Arguments: {"company_symbol": "X"}。如果LLM认为已经可以直接回答,则Action可能是 Final Answer: ...
  3. Observation (观察): 这是执行“行动”后从外部环境(如工具的返回结果)得到的信息。这个观察结果会作为新的输入,供LLM进行下一轮的“思考”。例如:{"price": "$150", "change": "+$2"}

2.2.2 ReAct Prompt设计模式

为了引导LLM遵循ReAct的思考和行动模式,一个比较典型的ReAct Prompt通常会包含以下部分:

  1. 角色和目标定义: 清晰地告诉LLM它扮演的角色以及需要完成的任务。
  2. 可用工具描述: 列出LLM可以使用的工具,包括工具的名称、功能描述以及输入参数的格式。这非常关键,LLM会根据这些描述来决定使用哪个工具以及如何使用。
  3. 思考和行动的格式指令: 明确指示LLM如何输出它的思考过程和行动指令。这通常会要求LLM严格按照 Thought: ... 和 Action: ... (或者 Final Answer: ...) 的格式进行输出。
  4. Few-shot examples - 可选但推荐 :提供输出要求

# Task

You are a helpful AI assistant that can use tools to solve problems step by step.


# Tools

You can use the following tools:
{tools_prompt}

# Instructions

1. Think about the problem step by step
2. When you need to use a tool, use the following format:
   Thought: <your reasoning about what to do>
   Action: <tool_name>
   Action Input: <tool parameters in JSON format>
3. Tools will respond with:
   Observation: <tool result>
4. After receiving an observation, continue your reasoning
5. When you have a final answer, respond with:
   Thought: <your final reasoning>
   Answer: <your final answer>


# Important Rules

- ALWAYS follow the Thought/Action/Observation/Answer format
- If using a tool, only one tool at a time.
- NEVER make up tool results
- If a tool fails, try a different approach
- Be thorough and detailed in your reasoning
- If you can't find an answer, say "I don't know" instead of making something up
- If python execution is exist, you can generate code and execute it.
- Do NOT provide an Answer if you are uncertain or unable to complete all required actions
- If you cannot fully solve the problem, use your memory to explain your limitations and what additional information or tools you would need to complete it.
- Additionally, please include a reference to the original article at the end of your summary. The reference should be formatted as follows:

[Article Title](URL) by [Author Name], published on [Publication Date] and accessed on [Access Date].
Make sure to use proper Markdown syntax for headings, lists, and the hyperlink in the reference. Here is an example of how the reference should look:

# User Prompt:
{user_prompt}

Now Begin! If you solve the task correctly, you will receive a reward of $1,000,000.

LLM -> Agent:


Thought: The Python code executed successfully and generated the chart image. I can now provide the user with the location of the saved image.

Answer: I have successfully created a chart depicting Alibaba's stock price changes over the last 7 days. You can view the chart by accessing the following file: ![](file:///Volumes/ssd/repos/github/minimal_agent/test/pic/image_path)

The chart shows the closing prices for each day within the specified period, allowing you to visualize the fluctuations in Alibaba's stock performance.

2.2 事件循环:

根据如上的ReAct的框架,我们就可以将框架与LLM的交互抽象为一个事件循环,LLM返回以后首选通过parser函数,捕获返回中的事件,比如说Action EventAnswer Event,一个比较简单的逻辑就是使用正则表达式去匹配:

    event_type: EventType
    context: Context
    data: EventDataType
    timestamp: datetime = Field(default_factory=datetime.now)

AnyEvent: TypeAlias = ThinkingEvent | ActionEvent | ObservationEvent | FinalAnswerEvent | ErrorEvent

2.4 Prompt 和 LLM 结果解析

一个 Prompt 模板的 Case


# Task

You are a helpful AI assistant that can use tools to solve problems step by step.


# Tools

You can use the following tools:
{tools_prompt}

# Instructions

1. Think about the problem step by step
2. When you need to use a tool, use the following format:
   Thought: <your reasoning about what to do>
   Action: <tool_name>
   Action Input: <tool parameters in JSON format>
3. Tools will respond with:
   Observation: <tool result>
4. After receiving an observation, continue your reasoning
5. When you have a final answer, respond with:
   Thought: <your final reasoning>
   Answer: <your final answer>


# Important Rules

- ALWAYS follow the Thought/Action/Observation/Answer format
- If using a tool, only one tool at a time.
- NEVER make up tool results
- If a tool fails, try a different approach
- Be thorough and detailed in your reasoning
- If you can't find an answer, say "I don't know" instead of making something up
- If python execution is exist, you can generate code and execute it.
- Do NOT provide an Answer if you are uncertain or unable to complete all required actions
- If you cannot fully solve the problem, use your memory to explain your limitations and what additional information or tools you would need to complete it.
- Additionally, please include a reference to the original article at the end of your summary. The reference should be formatted as follows:

[Article Title](URL) by [Author Name], published on [Publication Date] and accessed on [Access Date].
Make sure to use proper Markdown syntax for headings, lists, and the hyperlink in the reference. Here is an example of how the reference should look:

> [The Impact of AI on Society](https://www.example.com/ai-impact-society) by John Doe, published on 2023-06-15 and accessed on 2025-04-06.

# User Prompt:
{user_prompt}

Now Begin! If you solve the task correctly, you will receive a reward of $1,000,000.

3. 从FunctionCall 到 MCP

从软工角度讲,Prompt 构建/ActionFunction 都可以直接从框架中抽离出来,并通过协议的方式进行拓展,这个过程其实类似于 Local Call 和 Rpc 之前的关系,也就是现在比较火的 MCP 协议。总体来说就是将 Prompt/Tools/Resource 已接口和外部工具的方式被集成到 LLM Client 上。同时通过通用的 Prompt 自动路由并选择对应的 Prompt/Tools/Resource资源,进行多轮的分析和执行。
