- Type-Safe Serialization
Complete state persistence with Pydantic v2, supporting complex types and custom serializers
Core Schema Components¶
StateSchema Foundation¶
- class haive.core.schema.StateSchema(*, engine=None, engines=<factory>)[source]¶
Bases:
BaseModel,Generic[TEngine,TEngines]Enhanced base class for state schemas in the Haive framework.
StateSchema extends Pydantic’s BaseModel with features for AI agent state management and graph-based workflows. It serves as the core component of the Haive Schema System, providing extensive capabilities for state management in complex agent architectures.
- Key Features:
Field sharing: Control which fields are shared between parent and child graphs
Reducer functions: Define how field values are combined during state updates
Engine I/O tracking: Map which fields are inputs/outputs for which engines
Message handling: Methods for working with conversation message fields
Serialization: Convert states to/from dictionaries and JSON
State manipulation: Update, merge, compare, and diff state objects
Integration: Support for LangGraph and engine components
Visualization: Rich display options for state inspection
- Special Class Variables:
__shared_fields__ (List[str]): Fields to share with parent graphs __serializable_reducers__ (Dict[str, str]): Serializable reducer function names __engine_io_mappings__ (Dict[str, Dict[str, List[str]]]): Engine I/O mappings __input_fields__ (Dict[str, List[str]]): Input fields for each engine __output_fields__ (Dict[str, List[str]]): Output fields for each engine __structured_models__ (Dict[str, str]): Paths to structured output models __structured_model_fields__ (Dict[str, List[str]]): Fields for structured models __reducer_fields__ (Dict[str, Callable]): Runtime reducer functions (not stored)
Field sharing enables parent and child graphs to maintain synchronized state for specific fields, which is critical for nested graph execution. Reducer functions define how field values are combined during updates, enabling sophisticated state merging operations beyond simple assignment.
Examples
from typing import List from langchain_core.messages import BaseMessage from pydantic import Field from haive.core.schema import StateSchema
- class MyState(StateSchema):

# Share only messages with parent graphs __shared_fields__ = [“messages”]
# Define reducer for messages __reducer_fields__ = {
“messages”: add_messages # From langgraph.graph
}
# Create state instance state = MyState()

composer.add_field(
"messages",
List[BaseMessage],
default_factory=list,
shared=True,

)
# Add fields from engine
composer.add_fields_from_engine(
llm_engine,
include_input=True,
include_output=True
)

def migrate_user_state(old_state: UserStateV1) -> UserStateV2:
"""Migrate from V1 to V2 with intelligent defaults."""
new_state = UserStateV2(
name=old_state.name,
preferences=old_state.preferences,
interaction_history=[] # Start fresh
)
# Generate embeddings from preferences
if old_state.preferences:
new_state.preference_embeddings = generate_embeddings(
old_state.preferences
)
return new_state
# Apply migration
manager = SchemaManager()
new_state = manager.migrate(old_state, target_version="2.0")
Field Management System¶
Field utilities for the Haive Schema System.
from typing import Any This module provides a comprehensive set of utilities for creating, extracting, and manipulating Pydantic fields within the Haive Schema System. It ensures consistent handling of field metadata, types, and defaults across the entire framework.
The utilities in this module serve as the low-level foundation for the Schema System, handling technical details like: - Creating fields with standardized metadata - Working with Annotated types for metadata embedding - Extracting metadata from type annotations - Type inference and manipulation - Resolver functions for reducers
Core functions include: - create_field: Create a standard Pydantic field with metadata - create_annotated_field: Create a field using Python’s Annotated type for metadata - extract_type_metadata: Extract base type and metadata from annotations - infer_field_type: Intelligently determine types from values - get_common_reducers: Access standard reducer functions - resolve_reducer: Convert reducer names to functions
These utilities are primarily used by FieldDefinition, SchemaComposer, and StateSchemaManager to implement higher-level functionality.
Examples
- from haive.core.schema.field_utils import (
create_field, create_annotated_field, get_common_reducers
) from typing import List import operator
# Create a standard field field_type, field_info = create_field(
field_type=List[str], default_factory=list, description=”List of items”, shared=True, reducer=operator.add
)
# Create an annotated field with embedded metadata field_type, field_info = create_annotated_field(
field_type=List[str], default_factory=list, description=”List of items”, shared=True, reducer=operator.add
)
# Get common reducer functions reducers = get_common_reducers() add_messages = reducers[“add_messages”] # LangGraph’s message list combiner
- class haive.core.schema.field_utils.FieldMetadata(description=None, shared=False, reducer=None, source=None, input_for=None, output_from=None, structured_model=None, title=None, **extra)[source]¶
Standardized container for field metadata in the Haive Schema System.
This class encapsulates all metadata associated with a field, serving as a comprehensive representation of field properties beyond what Pydantic directly supports. It provides a structured way to manage:
Basic field properties (description, title, etc.)
Haive-specific properties (shared status, reducer functions, etc.)
Engine I/O tracking (input/output relationships with engines)
Structured output model associations
FieldMetadata provides methods for converting between different metadata representations, including dictionaries for Field instantiation and annotation objects for Annotated types. It also supports merging metadata from different sources and serializing reducer functions.
This class serves as a single source of truth for field metadata throughout the Schema System, ensuring consistent handling of field properties across schema composition, manipulation, and serialization operations.
- Parameters:
Whether the field is shared with parent graphs

- haive.core.schema.field_utils.create_annotated_field(field_type, default=None, default_factory=None, metadata=None, description=None, shared=False, reducer=None, make_optional=True, **kwargs)[source]¶
Create a Pydantic field using Python’s Annotated type for embedded metadata.
This function creates a field for Pydantic models using the Annotated type to embed metadata directly in the type annotation. This approach aligns with Pydantic v2’s design and provides better support for schema composition and manipulation.
By embedding metadata in the Annotated type, field properties like shared status and reducer functions stay attached to the field type itself, which allows them to be preserved during operations like schema composition and subclassing.
The function supports both direct metadata parameters (description, shared, reducer) and a comprehensive FieldMetadata object for more complex metadata.
- Parameters:
field_type (Type[T]) – The Python type of the field (e.g., str, List[int])
default (Any, optional) – Default value for the field. Used if default_factory is not provided. Defaults to None.
default_factory (Optional[Callable[[], T]], optional) – Factory function that returns the default value. Takes precedence over default if both are provided. Defaults to None.
metadata (Optional[FieldMetadata], optional) – Comprehensive field metadata object. If provided, other metadata parameters (description, shared, reducer) are ignored. Defaults to None.
description (Optional[str], optional) – Human-readable description of the field. Ignored if metadata is provided. Defaults to None.
shared (bool, optional) – Whether the field is shared with parent graphs. Ignored if metadata is provided. Defaults to False.
reducer (Optional[Callable], optional) – Function to combine field values during updates. Ignored if metadata is provided. Defaults to None.
make_optional (bool, optional) – Whether to make the field Optional[T] if it’s not already. This ensures the field can be None, which is important for state management. Defaults to True.
**kwargs – Additional field parameters passed to FieldMetadata or Field.
- Returns:
- A tuple containing:
field_type: The annotated type with embedded metadata
field_info: The Pydantic Field object with standard properties
- Return type:
Tuple[Type, Field]

Multi-Agent State Coordination¶
- class haive.core.schema.MultiAgentStateSchema(*, engine=None, engines=<factory>)[source]¶
Enhanced StateSchema for multi-agent architectures.
This class extends the base StateSchema with features specifically designed for multi-agent scenarios, solving common issues with engine handling and access in nested agent structures. It ensures that engines are properly accessible to EngineNodeConfig via the state.engines dictionary.
Key Features: - Automatic engines field creation and population - Consolidation of engines from sub-agents - Engine visibility for engine nodes - Compatibility with EngineNodeConfig._get_engine()
This schema should be used as the base class for states in multi-agent architectures to ensure proper engine access and visibility.
- classmethod from_state_schema(schema_class, name=None)[source]¶
Create a MultiAgentStateSchema from an existing StateSchema class.
- Parameters:
schema_class (type[StateSchema]) – Original StateSchema class to convert
name (str | None) – Optional name for the new schema (defaults to original name with ‘Multi’ prefix)
- Returns:
A new MultiAgentStateSchema subclass with all fields and behaviors from the original
- Return type:
- populate_engines_dict()[source]¶
Populate the engines dictionary with all available engines.
This validator runs after the model is created and: 1. Collects engines from individual fields 2. Collects engines from class-level .engines 3. Collects engines from sub-agents if present 4. Consolidates all engines into the state.engines dictionary
- Return type:
- model_config: ClassVar[ConfigDict] = {}¶
Configuration for the model, should be a dictionary conforming to [ConfigDict][pydantic.config.ConfigDict].
Orchestrating Complex Multi-Agent Systems
The MultiAgentStateSchema provides advanced patterns for coordinating state across multiple agents with different schemas.
Multi-Agent Coordination Example:
from haive.core.schema import MultiAgentStateSchema, AgentView
class ResearchTeamState(MultiAgentStateSchema):
"""State for a research team of specialized agents."""
# Global research objective
research_goal: str = Field(description="Main research objective")
# Shared research data
research_data: Dict[str, Any] = Field(
default_factory=dict,
description="Accumulated research data"
)
# Agent-specific states with schemas
agent_schemas = {
"researcher": ResearcherState,
"analyst": AnalystState,
"writer": WriterState,
"reviewer": ReviewerState
}
# Define agent interactions
__agent_edges__ = {
"researcher": ["analyst"], # Researcher → Analyst
"analyst": ["writer"], # Analyst → Writer
"writer": ["reviewer"], # Writer → Reviewer
"reviewer": ["writer"] # Reviewer ↔ Writer (revision loop)
}
# Custom view for each agent
def get_researcher_view(self) -> AgentView[ResearcherState]:
"""Get view tailored for researcher agent."""
return AgentView(
agent_state=self.get_agent_state("researcher"),
shared_data={
"goal": self.research_goal,
"keywords": self.extract_keywords()
},
permissions=["read", "write:findings"]
)
def get_analyst_view(self) -> AgentView[AnalystState]:
"""Get view tailored for analyst agent."""
researcher_state = self.get_agent_state("researcher")
return AgentView(
agent_state=self.get_agent_state("analyst"),
shared_data={
"findings": researcher_state.findings,
"research_data": self.research_data
},
permissions=["read", "write:analysis"]
)
Reducer Patterns¶
Intelligent State Merging Strategies
Advanced Reducer Implementations:
from haive.core.schema.reducers import (
create_reducer,
combine_reducers,
conditional_reducer
)
# Create custom reducers
@create_reducer
def merge_insights(old: List[Dict], new: List[Dict]) -> List[Dict]:
"""Merge insights with deduplication and scoring."""
# Create insight map with scores
insight_map = {}
for insight in old + new:
key = insight.get("key", str(insight))
if key in insight_map:
# Increase confidence for repeated insights
insight_map[key]["confidence"] *= 1.1
insight_map[key]["sources"].extend(insight.get("sources", []))
else:
insight_map[key] = insight
# Sort by confidence and return top insights
sorted_insights = sorted(
insight_map.values(),
key=lambda x: x.get("confidence", 0),
reverse=True
)
return sorted_insights[:10] # Keep top 10
# Conditional reducers
message_reducer = conditional_reducer(
condition=lambda old, new: len(old) + len(new) < 100,
if_true=lambda old, new: old + new, # Append if under limit
if_false=lambda old, new: old[-50:] + new # Keep last 50 + new
)
# Combine multiple reducers
complex_reducer = combine_reducers([
dedup_reducer, # Remove duplicates
sort_by_timestamp, # Sort chronologically
limit_size(1000), # Limit total size
enrich_metadata # Add metadata
])
Schema Validation & Testing¶
Ensuring Schema Integrity
Comprehensive Validation Patterns:
from haive.core.schema.validation import (
SchemaValidator,
create_test_suite,
validate_reducers
)
# Create validator
validator = SchemaValidator(strict_mode=True)
# Validate schema definition
validation_result = validator.validate_schema(
MyComplexState,
checks=[
"field_types", # Type annotations valid
"default_values", # Defaults match types
"reducer_compatibility", # Reducers match field types
"circular_dependencies", # No circular refs
"serialization" # Can serialize/deserialize
]
)
if not validation_result.is_valid:
for error in validation_result.errors:
print(f"Error: {error.field} - {error.message}")
# Test reducer logic
reducer_test = validate_reducers(
MyComplexState,
test_cases=[
{
"field": "messages",
"old": [msg1, msg2],
"new": [msg3],
"expected": [msg1, msg2, msg3]
}
]
)
# Generate comprehensive test suite
test_suite = create_test_suite(
MyComplexState,
include_edge_cases=True,
include_performance=True
)
# Run all tests
results = test_suite.run()
print(f"Passed: {results.passed}/{results.total}")
Performance Optimization¶
Schema Performance Metrics¶
Lightning-Fast State Operations
Creation: < 1ms for complex schemas with 50+ fields
Validation: < 5ms for deep nested structures
Serialization: 100MB/s for state persistence
Reducer Execution: < 0.1ms per field update

Optimization Techniques:
from haive.core.schema.optimization import (
OptimizedSchema,
enable_caching,
lazy_field
)
@enable_caching
class HighPerformanceState(OptimizedSchema):
"""Optimized state for high-frequency updates."""
# Lazy-loaded expensive fields
embeddings: List[float] = lazy_field(
loader=lambda self: generate_embeddings(self.text),
cache_ttl=3600 # Cache for 1 hour
)
# Batched updates
metrics: Dict[str, float] = Field(
default_factory=dict,
metadata={"batch_updates": True}
)
# Custom optimized reducer
__reducer_fields__ = {
"metrics": optimized_merge_metrics # C-extension reducer
}
class Config:
# Performance optimizations
validate_assignment = False # Skip validation on assignment
copy_on_model_validation = False # Reference, don't copy
use_enum_values = True # Store enum values, not objects
Advanced Patterns¶
Schema Inheritance Hierarchies¶
Building Complex Schema Hierarchies:
from haive.core.schema import StateSchema, create_schema_hierarchy
# Base schema for all agents
class BaseAgentState(StateSchema):
id: str
created_at: datetime
messages: List[BaseMessage] = Field(default_factory=list)
class Meta:
abstract = True
# Specialized schemas
class ResearchAgentState(BaseAgentState):
sources: List[str] = Field(default_factory=list)
findings: Dict[str, Any] = Field(default_factory=dict)
credibility_scores: Dict[str, float] = Field(default_factory=dict)
class AnalysisAgentState(BaseAgentState):
hypotheses: List[str] = Field(default_factory=list)
evidence: Dict[str, List[str]] = Field(default_factory=dict)
confidence_matrix: List[List[float]] = Field(default_factory=list)
# Create hierarchy with shared behavior
hierarchy = create_schema_hierarchy({
"base": BaseAgentState,
"research": ResearchAgentState,
"analysis": AnalysisAgentState,
"synthesis": SynthesisAgentState
})
# Automatic schema selection
appropriate_schema = hierarchy.select_schema(
task_type="research",
capabilities_required=["web_search", "source_validation"]
)
Dynamic Schema Generation¶
Runtime Schema Creation from Data:
from haive.core.schema import infer_schema, generate_schema
# Infer schema from data
sample_data = {
"user_id": "123",
"preferences": {"theme": "dark", "language": "en"},
"history": [
{"action": "click", "timestamp": "2024-01-01"},
{"action": "purchase", "item": "book", "price": 29.99}
]
}
InferredSchema = infer_schema(
data=sample_data,
name="UserActivityState",
include_validators=True,
detect_patterns=True # Detect emails, URLs, etc.
)
# Generate schema from specification
spec = {
"fields": {
"query": {"type": "str", "description": "User query"},
"embedding": {"type": "List[float]", "length": 1536},
"metadata": {"type": "Dict[str, Any]", "optional": True}
},
"reducers": {
"embedding": "average_vectors"
},
"shared": ["query"]
}
GeneratedSchema = generate_schema(spec, name="QueryState")
Schema Composition Patterns¶
Advanced Composition Techniques:
from haive.core.schema import (
compose_schemas,
merge_schemas,
extend_schema
)
# Compose multiple schemas
ComposedState = compose_schemas({
"conversation": ConversationState,
"knowledge": KnowledgeState,
"planning": PlanningState
}, name="SuperAgentState")
# Merge with conflict resolution
MergedState = merge_schemas(
[StateA, StateB, StateC],
conflict_resolution="last_wins", # or "first_wins", "error"
name="MergedState"
)
# Extend with additional fields
ExtendedState = extend_schema(
BaseState,
additional_fields={
"new_field": (str, Field(default="")),
"computed": (int, Field(default_factory=lambda: 42))
},
name="ExtendedState"
)
