}
```

### 2. Advanced Initialization

```python
from zeuslab.hercules import Hercules
from zeuslab.hercules.tools import DEFAULT_TOOLS

hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    tools=True,
    tools_config=DEFAULT_TOOLS,
    max_rounds=15,
    speaker_selection="auto",  # or "manual", "round_robin"
    enable_code_execution=True,
    custom_prompts={
        "Researcher": "You are a senior research analyst with 10+ years of experience...",
        "Writer": "You are a technical writer specializing in clear, engaging content..."
    }
)
```

## 🛠️ Tools System

### Built-in Tools

HERCULES comes with a comprehensive set of built-in tools:

```python
from zeuslab.hercules.tools import (
    write_file,      # Write content to files
    read_file,       # Read file contents
    web_search,      # Web search capabilities
    calculate,       # Mathematical calculations
    list_files,      # Directory operations
    FILE_TOOLS,      # Tools categories for easy selection
    WEB_TOOLS,
    DATABASE_TOOLS,
    CODE_TOOLS,
    COMMUNICATION_TOOLS,
    DEFAULT_TOOLS    # All default tools
)
```

### Using Built-in Tools

```python
# Use all default tools
hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    tools=True,
    tools_config=DEFAULT_TOOLS
)

# Use specific tools only
hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    tools=True,
    tools_config=[write_file, read_file, calculate]
)
```

### Creating Custom Tools

Tools must use proper type annotations with `Annotated` for AutoGen compatibility:

```python
from typing import Annotated

def custom_api_call(
    endpoint: Annotated[str, "API endpoint to call"],
    method: Annotated[str, "HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.)"] = "GET"
) -> str:
    """Make an API call and return the response."""
    import requests
    try:
        response = requests.request(method, endpoint)
        return f"API Response: {response.text[:500]}..."
    except Exception as e:
        return f"Error calling API: {str(e)}"

def data_analyzer(
    data: Annotated[str, "Data to analyze (JSON, CSV, or text)"],
    analysis_type: Annotated[str, "Type of analysis to perform"] = "summary"
) -> str:
    """Analyze data and provide insights."""
    # Your analysis logic here
    return f"Analysis of {analysis_type}: {data[:100]}..."

# Add custom tools
hercules.add_tool(custom_api_call)
hercules.add_tool(data_analyzer)
```

### Tool Configuration Patterns

```python
# Dictionary-based tool configuration
tools_config = {
    "file_operations": write_file,
    "calculations": calculate,
    "web_search": web_search
}

# List-based configuration
tools_config = [write_file, calculate, web_search]

# Mixed configuration with custom tools
def email_sender(to: Annotated[str, "Email recipient"], 
                subject: Annotated[str, "Email subject"],
                body: Annotated[str, "Email body"]) -> str:
    """Send an email (mock implementation)."""
    return f"Email sent to {to} with subject: {subject}"

tools_config = DEFAULT_TOOLS + [email_sender]
```

## 👥 Agent System

### How Agents Work

HERCULES automatically generates specialized agents based on your task:

1. **Role Generation**: Analyzes the task and creates 3-5 relevant roles
2. **Prompt Creation**: Generates specialized system prompts for each role
3. **Agent Creation**: Instantiates agents with specific capabilities
4. **Collaboration**: Orchestrates communication between agents

### Custom Role Generation

```python
def custom_role_generator(task: str) -> List[str]:
    """Generate custom roles based on task analysis."""
    if "machine learning" in task.lower():
        return ["Data Scientist", "ML Engineer", "Model Validator", "Technical Writer"]
    elif "web development" in task.lower():
        return ["Frontend Developer", "Backend Developer", "DevOps Engineer", "QA Tester"]
    else:
        return ["Analyst", "Developer", "Reviewer"]

hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    roles_generator=custom_role_generator
)
```

### Custom Agent Factory

```python
def custom_agent_factory(role: str, config: dict, system_prompt: str):
    """Create agents with custom configurations."""
    from autogen import AssistantAgent
    
    # Customize configuration based on role
    if role == "Researcher":
        config["temperature"] = 0.3  # More focused
    elif role == "Writer":
        config["temperature"] = 0.8  # More creative
    
    return AssistantAgent(
        name=role,
        llm_config=config,
        system_message=system_prompt
    )

hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    custom_agent_factory=custom_agent_factory
)
```

### Custom Prompts

```python
custom_prompts = {
    "Researcher": """
    You are a world-class research analyst with expertise in data gathering, 
    fact verification, and trend analysis. Your role is to:
    - Conduct thorough research on assigned topics
    - Verify information from multiple sources
    - Identify key trends and insights
    - Present findings in a structured format
    """,
    
    "Technical Writer": """
    You are a senior technical writer specializing in making complex 
    information accessible. Your responsibilities include:
    - Creating clear, concise documentation
    - Structuring information logically
    - Using appropriate technical terminology
    - Ensuring content is audience-appropriate
    """
}

hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    custom_prompts=custom_prompts
)
```

## 🎛️ Advanced Configuration

### Group Chat Settings

```python
hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    max_rounds=20,  # Maximum conversation rounds
    speaker_selection="auto",  # How to select next speaker
    enable_code_execution=True  # Enable code execution
)
```

### Speaker Selection Methods

- **"auto"**: LLM decides the next speaker intelligently
- **"round_robin"**: Agents speak in turn
- **"manual"**: Manual speaker selection (for interactive use)

### Code Execution Configuration

```python
hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    enable_code_execution=True,
    # Code execution happens in hercules_workspace directory
    # Docker disabled by default for security
)
```

### Custom User Proxy

```python
from autogen import UserProxyAgent

custom_proxy = UserProxyAgent(
    name="CustomUser",
    human_input_mode="ALWAYS",  # Always ask for human input
    max_consecutive_auto_reply=5,
    code_execution_config={
        "work_dir": "custom_workspace",
        "use_docker": True
    }
)

hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    custom_user_proxy=custom_proxy
)
```

    custom_agent_factory=multi_model_factory
)
```

## 🔍 Monitoring and Debugging

### Accessing Agent Information

```python
# Run a task
result = hercules.run("Your task here")

# Access created agents
agents = hercules.get_agents()
for agent in agents:
    print(f"Agent: {agent.name}")

# Access chat history
groupchat = hercules.get_groupchat()
if groupchat:
    print(f"Total messages: {len(groupchat.messages)}")

# Access user proxy and manager
user_proxy = hercules.get_user_proxy()
manager = hercules.get_manager()
```

### Tool Management

except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error occurred: {e}")
    
    # Access agents for debugging
    if hercules.get_agents():
        print("Agents were created successfully")
    else:
        print("No agents were created - check LLM configuration")
```

## 🚀 Production Deployment

### Environment Variables

```bash
# Set up environment variables for production
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key"
export AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY="your-azure-key"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-anthropic-key"
```

### Production Configuration

```python
import os
from zeuslab.hercules import Hercules

# Production-ready configuration
llm_config = {
    "model": "gpt-4",
    "api_key": os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "timeout": 120,
    "max_retries": 3
}

hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    tools=True,
    tools_config=DEFAULT_TOOLS,
    max_rounds=10,  # Limit rounds for cost control
    enable_code_execution=False  # Disable for security
)
```

### Docker Deployment

```dockerfile
FROM python:3.9-slim

WORKDIR /app

COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

COPY . .

CMD ["python", "your_hercules_app.py"]
```

## 🔒 Security Considerations

### API Key Management

- Use environment variables for API keys
- Implement key rotation policies
- Monitor API usage and costs

### Code Execution Security

```python
# Disable code execution in production
hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    enable_code_execution=False
)

# Or use Docker for isolation
hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    enable_code_execution=True,
    # Docker will be used automatically if available
)
```

### Tool Safety

```python
# Implement safe tools with validation
def safe_file_writer(
    filename: Annotated[str, "Filename to write"],
    content: Annotated[str, "Content to write"]
) -> str:
    """Write file with safety checks."""
    # Validate filename
    if ".." in filename or filename.startswith("/"):
        return "Error: Invalid filename for security reasons"
    
    # Limit file size
    if len(content) > 1000000:  # 1MB limit
        return "Error: Content too large"
    
    # Proceed with safe write
    try:
        with open(f"safe_workspace/{filename}", "w") as f:
            f.write(content)
        return f"Safely wrote to {filename}"
    except Exception as e:
        return f"Error: {str(e)}"
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues and Solutions

#### 1. API Key Issues
```python
# Verify API key is set correctly
import os
api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
if not api_key:
    print("API key not found in environment variables")
```

#### 2. Agent Creation Failures
```python
# Check if roles are generated correctly
def debug_role_generator(task: str):
    hercules = Hercules(llm_config=llm_config)
    roles = hercules._generate_roles(task)
    print("Generated roles:", roles)
    return roles

# Test role generation
debug_role_generator("Your test task")
```

#### 3. Tool Registration Issues
```python
# Verify tool signatures
from typing import get_type_hints

def check_tool_signature(tool_func):
    hints = get_type_hints(tool_func, include_extras=True)
    print(f"Tool: {tool_func.__name__}")
    print(f"Type hints: {hints}")
    print(f"Docstring: {tool_func.__doc__}")

# Check your custom tools
check_tool_signature(your_custom_tool)
```

### Performance Optimization

```python
# Optimize for cost and speed
llm_config = {
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",  # Faster, cheaper model
    "temperature": 0.7,
    "max_tokens": 1000,  # Limit response length
    "timeout": 30
}

hercules = Hercules(
    llm_config=llm_config,
    max_rounds=8,  # Limit conversation rounds
    speaker_selection="round_robin"  # Faster speaker selection
)
```
