# LangGraph Cross-Chain Communication Framework

[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

A Python package extending LangGraph to enable cross-chain node communication - allowing nodes in different chains to call and communicate with each other directly.

## 🎯 Project Overview

This framework addresses a critical gap in current AI agent frameworks by enabling:

- **Cross-Chain Node Calls**: Direct communication between nodes in different chains (Chain1.Node2 → Chain2.Node3)
- **Shared State Management**: Share state between separate chain instances
- **Dynamic Inter-Chain Workflows**: Create flexible workflows that span multiple chains
- **Modular Components**: Build reusable chain components that can communicate seamlessly

## 💡 Innovation Gap Being Addressed

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
pip install langgraph-crosschain
```

Or install from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/langgraph-crosschain.git
cd langgraph-crosschain
pip install -e .
```

### Basic Example

```python
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from langgraph_crosschain import ChainRegistry, CrossChainNode

# Create a registry to manage chains
registry = ChainRegistry()

# Define your chains
def analyzer_node(state):
    # Process data
    return {"analyzed": True, "result": state.get("data")}

def processor_node(state):
    # Call a node in another chain
    node = CrossChainNode("chain2", "processor", processor_node)
    result = node.call_remote("chain1", "analyzer", {"data": "test"})
    return {"processed": True, "result": result}

# Build your chains
chain1 = StateGraph(...)
chain2 = StateGraph(...)

# Register chains
registry.register("chain1", chain1.compile())
registry.register("chain2", chain2.compile())

# Now chains can communicate with each other!
```

## 📚 Core Components

### ChainRegistry

Central registry for managing multiple chain instances:

```python
from langgraph_crosschain import ChainRegistry

registry = ChainRegistry()
registry.register("my_chain", chain_instance)
chain = registry.get("my_chain")
```

### CrossChainNode

Base class for nodes that can communicate across chains:

```python
from langgraph_crosschain import CrossChainNode

node = CrossChainNode(
    chain_id="chain1",
    node_id="processor",
    func=my_node_function
)

# Call a node in another chain
result = node.call_remote("chain2", "analyzer", {"data": "test"})

# Broadcast to multiple chains
node.broadcast(["chain2", "chain3"], "receiver", {"data": "broadcast"})
```

### MessageRouter

Handles routing of messages between chains:

```python
from langgraph_crosschain import MessageRouter

router = MessageRouter()
# Messages are automatically routed by CrossChainNode
```

### SharedStateManager

Manages shared state across multiple chains:

```python
from langgraph_crosschain import SharedStateManager

state_manager = SharedStateManager()
state_manager.set("shared_data", {"key": "value"})
data = state_manager.get("shared_data")

# Subscribe to state changes
def on_change(value):
    print(f"State changed: {value}")

state_manager.subscribe("shared_data", on_change)
```

## 📖 Use Cases

### 1. Multi-Agent Systems

Create specialized chains for different tasks that collaborate:

```python
# Analytics chain
analytics_chain = build_analytics_chain()
registry.register("analytics", analytics_chain)

# Execution chain
execution_chain = build_execution_chain()
registry.register("execution", execution_chain)

# Chains can now call each other as needed
```

### 2. Modular Workflows

Break complex workflows into reusable, communicating components:

```python
# Data ingestion chain
ingestion = build_ingestion_chain()

# Processing chain (calls ingestion)
processing = build_processing_chain()

# Output chain (calls processing)
output = build_output_chain()
```

### 3. Distributed Processing

Distribute workload across multiple specialized chains:

```python
# Master chain coordinates work
master_node.broadcast(
    ["worker1", "worker2", "worker3"],
    "process_task",
    {"task": task_data}
)
```

## 🧪 Testing

Run the test suite:

```bash
# Install dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run tests
pytest

# Run with coverage
pytest --cov=langgraph_crosschain --cov-report=html
```

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/langgraph-crosschain.git
cd langgraph-crosschain

# Install in editable mode with dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Install pre-commit hooks
