LangGraph State & Graph Basics (“Basic Graph”)

Minimal stateful agent graph with checkpoints, branching tools, and clear serialization of transitions for debugging and replay.

Year 2026

What was my role?

I was the sole implementer for this coursework module: scoped requirements, wrote the code and experiments for “LangGraph State & Graph Basics (“Basic Graph”),” and produced the write-up with metrics and limitations.

Situation

Course lab for “LangGraph State & Graph Basics (“Basic Graph”)”: short deadlines, public or synthetic data, and rubrics that reward reproducible notebooks and honest limitations.

Task

Produce a small credible artifact—clean repo or notebook—with baselines, evaluation, and a crisp story of what would change in production.

Action

Implemented end-to-end (Minimal stateful agent graph with checkpoints, branching tools, and clear serialization of transitions for debugging and replay.), logged experiments, compared alternatives, and documented dependencies plus failure cases.

Result

Submitted a runnable deliverable with metrics, repeatable setup commands, and a trade-off section suitable for extending to real systems.
