💡 Pro Tips

1. Start Simple: Use one agent type first, add complexity as needed
2. Monitor Costs: Always enable TokenTracker for LLM agents
3. Use Templates: Don't hardcode prompts - use PromptManager
4. Vector DB Choice:
   • Local/Testing → Chroma (free, local)
   • Production → Pinecone (managed, scalable)
   • Self-hosted → Weaviate (open source)
   • High-performance → FAISS (fastest)
5. Hybrid Approach: Combine LLM agents for reasoning + RL agents for optimization

🐛 Troubleshooting

"ImportError: No module named langchain"

pip install langchain langchain-openai

"OPENAI_API_KEY not set"

export OPENAI_API_KEY='sk-...'  # Linux/Mac
set OPENAI_API_KEY='sk-...'     # Windows

"ChromaDB not found"

pip install chromadb

High token costs

• Check TokenTracker.get_summary() for usage breakdown
• Reduce max_tokens in config
• Use cheaper models (gpt-3.5-turbo instead of gpt-4)
• Enable caching in llm_config.yaml
