Workflow Compilation

Compile visual workflow canvas designs to executable Google ADK Python code.

Input Format (WorkflowCanvas)

interface WorkflowCanvas {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  description: string;
  nodes: WorkflowNode[];
  edges: WorkflowEdge[];
  rootAgentId: string;
}

interface WorkflowNode {
  id: string;
  type: 'llm' | 'sequential' | 'parallel' | 'loop' | 'condition' | 'custom';
  position: { x: number; y: number };
  data: {
    label: string;
    config: Partial<AgentConfig>;
    children?: string[];
  };
}

interface WorkflowEdge {
  id: string;
  source: string;
  target: string;
  type: 'default' | 'conditional' | 'loop';
  data?: {
    label?: string;
    condition?: string;
    outputKey?: string;
  };

Multi-Model Support

# Gemini (native)
model="gemini-2.5-flash"

# OpenAI via LiteLLM
model=LiteLlm(model="openai/gpt-4o")

# Anthropic via LiteLLM
model=LiteLlm(model="anthropic/claude-3-haiku-20240307")

# Ollama via LiteLLM
model=LiteLlm(model="ollama_chat/llama3.2")

Validation Before Compilation

1. Root agent exists: rootAgentId points to valid node
2. No orphan nodes: All nodes reachable from root
3. No cycles: DAG structure (except loops)
4. Children exist: All children[] IDs are valid
5. Output keys unique: Parallel agents have distinct keys
