# AbstractFlow

Diagram-based, **durable** AI workflows for Python.

AbstractFlow is part of the [AbstractFramework ecosystem](https://github.com/lpalbou/AbstractFramework) and is built on:
- [AbstractRuntime](https://github.com/lpalbou/abstractruntime): durable runs, waits, subworkflows, stores
- [AbstractCore](https://github.com/lpalbou/abstractcore): providers/models/tools (used via runtime integrations)

It provides:
- A small programmatic API (`Flow`, `FlowRunner`) for building and running flows in Python.
- A portable workflow format (`VisualFlow` JSON) + helpers to execute it from any host (`abstractflow.visual`).
- A Gateway-first visual editor app in `web/` (React frontend + `/api/gateway/*` proxy).

Project status: **Pre-alpha** (`pyproject.toml`: `Development Status :: 2 - Pre-Alpha`). Expect breaking changes.

Evidence (code): [abstractflow/runner.py](abstractflow/runner.py), [abstractflow/visual/executor.py](abstractflow/visual/executor.py), [abstractflow/cli.py](abstractflow/cli.py), [web/backend/routes/ws.py](web/backend/routes/ws.py).

## Installation

```bash
pip install abstractflow
```

Requirements: Python **3.10+** (`pyproject.toml`: `requires-python`).

Optional extras (declared in `pyproject.toml`):
- Host profiles for local programmatic/VisualFlow execution compatibility (`Flow`, `FlowRunner`, `execute_visual_flow`, workflow bundles): `pip install "abstractflow[apple]"` or `pip install "abstractflow[gpu]"`
- Full host profiles:
  - Apple-capable: `pip install "abstractflow[apple]"`
  - GPU-capable: `pip install "abstractflow[gpu]"`
- `abstractflow[apple]` and `abstractflow[gpu]` include the local compatibility stack and Visual Agent node support; install `abstractgateway[apple]` or `abstractgateway[gpu]` separately when you need the Gateway server.
- Agent nodes only, without the host profile: `pip install "abstractflow[agent]"`
- Documentation site tools: `pip install "abstractflow[docs]"`

## Quickstart (programmatic)

```python
# Requires: `abstractflow[apple]` or `abstractflow[gpu]`
from abstractflow import Flow, FlowRunner

flow = Flow("linear")
flow.add_node("double", lambda x: x * 2, input_key="value", output_key="doubled")
flow.add_node("add_ten", lambda x: x + 10, input_key="doubled", output_key="final")
flow.add_edge("double", "add_ten")
flow.set_entry("double")

print(FlowRunner(flow).run({"value": 5}))
# {"success": True, "result": 20}
```

## Quickstart (execute a VisualFlow JSON)

```python
import json
from abstractflow.visual import VisualFlow, execute_visual_flow

# Requires: `abstractflow[apple]` or `abstractflow[gpu]`
with open("my-flow.json", "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    vf = VisualFlow.model_validate(json.load(f))

print(execute_visual_flow(vf, {"prompt": "Hello"}, flows={vf.id: vf}))
```

If your flow uses subflows, load all referenced `*.json` into the `flows={...}` mapping (see [docs/getting-started.md](docs/getting-started.md)).

## Visual editor (Gateway-first)

The visual editor talks to AbstractGateway. The Flow server keeps the Gateway bearer token server-side while proxying browser requests.

```bash
# Terminal 1: Gateway
pip install "abstractgateway[http]" abstractflow
export ABSTRACTGATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN=dev-token
abstractgateway serve --port 8080

# Terminal 2: editor UI (static server + /api/gateway proxy)
export ABSTRACTGATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN=dev-token
npx @abstractframework/flow --gateway-url http://127.0.0.1:8080
```

Open:
- UI: http://localhost:3003
- Gateway capabilities: http://localhost:8080/api/gateway/discovery/capabilities

Media nodes use Gateway as the catalog source. Generate Image, Generate Voice,
Transcribe Audio, and Listen Voice expose Gateway Media controls populated from
`/api/gateway/voice/voices`, `/api/gateway/audio/speech/models`,
`/api/gateway/audio/transcriptions/models`, `/api/gateway/vision/provider_models`,
and `/api/gateway/vision/models`.

The `abstractflow serve`/FastAPI host is a Gateway proxy by default. Its old local `/api/flows`, `/api/ws`, and `/api/runs` compatibility routes are available only when `ABSTRACTFLOW_ENABLE_LOCAL_RUNTIME=1` is set. See [docs/web-editor.md](docs/web-editor.md) and [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md).

## CLI (WorkflowBundle `.flow`)

```bash
abstractflow bundle pack web/flows/ac-echo.json --out /tmp/ac-echo.flow
abstractflow bundle inspect /tmp/ac-echo.flow
abstractflow bundle unpack /tmp/ac-echo.flow --dir /tmp/ac-echo
```

See [docs/cli.md](docs/cli.md) and `abstractflow/cli.py`.
