SGR Agent Core
SGR Agent Core is an open-source agentic framework for building intelligent research agents using Schema-Guided Reasoning (SGR). The project provides a core library with an extendable BaseAgent interface implementing a three-phase architecture and multiple ready-to-use research agent implementations built on top of it.
The library includes extensible tools for search, reasoning, and clarification, real-time streaming responses, and an OpenAI-compatible REST API. Works with any OpenAI-compatible LLM, including local models for fully private research.
Why use SGR Agent Core?
- Schema-Guided Reasoning — SGR combines structured reasoning with flexible tool selection
- Multiple Agent Types — Choose from
SGRAgent,ToolCallingAgent, orSGRToolCallingAgent - Extensible Architecture — Easy to create custom agents and tools
- OpenAI-Compatible API — Drop-in replacement for OpenAI API endpoints
- Real-time Streaming — Built-in support for streaming responses via SSE
- Production Ready — Battle-tested with comprehensive test coverage and Docker support
Quick Start
Running with Docker
The fastest way to get started is using Docker:
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/vamplabai/sgr-agent-core.git
cd sgr-agent-core
# Create directories with write permissions for all
sudo mkdir -p logs reports
sudo chmod 777 logs reports
# Copy and edit the configuration file
cp examples/sgr_deep_research/config.yaml.example examples/sgr_deep_research/config.yaml
# Edit examples/sgr_deep_research/config.yaml and set your API keys
# Run the container
docker run --rm -i \
--name sgr-agent \
-p 8010:8010 \
-v $(pwd)/examples/sgr_deep_research:/app/examples/sgr_deep_research:ro \
-v $(pwd)/logs:/app/logs \
-v $(pwd)/reports:/app/reports \
ghcr.io/vamplabai/sgr-agent-core:latest \
--config-file /app/examples/sgr_deep_research/config.yaml \
--host 0.0.0.0 \
--port 8010
The API server will be available at http://localhost:8010. Interactive API documentation (Swagger UI) is available at http://localhost:8010/docs.
