Concepts
Deep dives into the core ideas behind sOAP: how agentic objects are composed, invoked, and persisted.
Basic
| Topic |
Description |
| Invocation |
invoke_agent(), invoke(), output schemas, thread IDs, sub-agents |
| Error Handling |
Error objects vs exceptions — when each arises and what they mean |
| Steering the Agent |
Tool return values and queued messages — two ways to guide the agent mid-invocation |
| Media Handling |
Attaching images, video, and PDFs to prompts; agent-initiated media access |
| Composition |
Multi-inheritance, MRO-based system prompts, config merging across agentic parents |
Advanced
| Topic |
Description |
| Invocation Hooks |
Observing, controlling, and measuring agent invocations |
| Agentic Object Roles |
Role naming, canonical role building, user overrides, model selection |
| Adaptive Objects |
Objects that manipulate and extend their own code at runtime across class, instance, and session levels |
| State and Persistence |
Internal state, session serialization, context forking, token counting, compaction |
