Lazy-loaded StreamEventEmitter for real-time events (zero overhead when not used). Allow setting stream\_emitter directly. AutoMemory instance for automatic memory extraction. Instance method. PolicyEngine instance for execution control. Instance method. BackgroundRunner instance for async task execution. Instance method. CheckpointService instance for file-level undo/restore. Instance method. OutputStyle instance for response formatting. Instance method. ThinkingBudget instance for extended thinking control. Instance method. ContextManager instance for unified context management. Set context manager directly. Lazily initialize Rich Console only when needed AND verbose is True. Lazily initialize SkillManager only when skills are accessed. Get the XML prompt for available skills. Lazily generate agent ID when first accessed. Safe display name that never returns None. Analyze prompt for autonomy signals. Get recommended execution stage for prompt. Run an autonomous task execution loop. Async variant of run\_autonomous() for concurrent agent execution. Programmatically hand off a task to another agent. Run agent iteratively until output meets quality criteria. Async version of run\_until(). Asynchronously hand off a task to another agent. Get tools available to this agent, filtered by plan\_mode if enabled. Lazy-initialized RulesManager for persistent rules/instructions. Get rules context for the current conversation. Get memory context for the current conversation. Get learning context for injection into system prompt. Store content in memory. Unified property to get the LLM model regardless of configuration type. Get the unified retrieval configuration. Lazy-loaded RAG instance for advanced retrieval with citations. Retrieve context from knowledge without LLM generation. Query knowledge and get a structured answer with citations. Query knowledge using RAG pipeline with citations. Chat with pre-retrieved context. Generate a Task object from the agent's instructions Execute a tool dynamically based on the function name and arguments. Instance method. Prune chat history to keep only the last N messages. Delete a specific message from chat history by index. Delete all messages matching a pattern. Get the current number of messages in chat history. Context manager for ephemeral conversations. Get the current session ID. Chat with the agent. Clean and extract JSON from response text. Async version of chat method with self-reflection support. Async version of run() - silent, non-streaming, returns structured result. Async version of start() - interactive, streaming-aware. Execute agent silently and return structured result. Switch the agent's LLM model while preserving conversation history. Start the agent interactively with verbose output. Stream agent response as an iterator of chunks. Execute a task synchronously - backward compatibility method Execute a task asynchronously - backward compatibility method Async version of execute\_tool Launch the agent as an HTTP API endpoint or an MCP server. ## Source `praisonaiagents/agent/agent.py` at line 155 *** ## Related Documentation
