+### NativeReActAgent
+
+**Registry key:** `native_react` (alias: `react`)
+
+A ReAct (Reasoning + Acting) agent that implements a **Thought-Action-Observation** loop. Extends `ToolUsingAgent`. The LLM is prompted to output structured text with `Thought:`, `Action:`, `Action Input:`, and `Final Answer:` fields, which the agent parses to drive tool execution.
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+ Q["User Query"] --> SYS["Build system prompt
with tool names"]
+ SYS --> GEN["Generate response"]
+ GEN --> PARSE["Parse ReAct output"]
+ PARSE --> FINAL{"Final Answer?"}

+ EXEC --> OBS["Append Observation"]
+ OBS --> MAXCHECK{"Max turns
exceeded?"}
+ MAXCHECK -->|No| GEN
+ MAXCHECK -->|Yes| TIMEOUT["Return max_turns_result"]
+```
+
+How it works:
+
+1. Builds a system prompt listing available tool names
+2. Generates a response and parses the ReAct-structured output
+3. If a `Final Answer:` is found, returns it
+4. If an `Action:` is found, executes the tool and feeds the result back as an `Observation:`
+5. Loops until a final answer is produced or `max_turns` is exceeded
+
+!!! note "Backward compatibility"
+ The old `from openjarvis.agents.react import ReActAgent` import path still works via a backward-compat shim. The registry alias `"react"` also maps to `NativeReActAgent`.
+
+```python
+from openjarvis.agents.native_react import NativeReActAgent
+
+agent = NativeReActAgent(
+ engine,
+ model="qwen3:8b",
+ tools=[CalculatorTool(), ThinkTool()],
+ max_turns=10,
+)
+result = agent.run("What is the square root of 256?")
+```
+
+### NativeOpenHandsAgent
+
+**Registry key:** `native_openhands`
+
+A CodeAct-style agent that generates and executes Python code. Extends `ToolUsingAgent`. It can also invoke tools via structured `Action:` / `Action Input:` output. URLs in the input are automatically pre-fetched and inlined for the LLM.
+
+How it works:
+
+1. Builds a detailed system prompt with tool descriptions and code execution instructions
+2. Pre-fetches any URLs in the user input, inlining the content directly
+3. For each turn:
+ - Generates a response and strips `` tags
+ - If a `\`\`\`python` code block is found, executes it via `code_interpreter`
+ - If an `Action:` / `Action Input:` is found, dispatches the tool
+ - If neither is found, returns the content as the final answer
+4. Handles context window overflow with automatic truncation
+
+```python
+from openjarvis.agents.native_openhands import NativeOpenHandsAgent
+
+agent = NativeOpenHandsAgent(
+ engine,
+ model="qwen3:8b",
+ tools=[CalculatorTool(), WebSearchTool()],
+ max_turns=3,
+ max_tokens=2048,
+)
+result = agent.run("Summarize https://example.com/article")
+```
+
+### RLMAgent
+
+**Registry key:** `rlm`
+
+A Recursive Language Model agent based on the [RLM paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.24601). Instead of passing long context directly in the LLM prompt, RLM stores context as a Python variable in a persistent REPL. A "Root LM" writes Python code to inspect, decompose, and process context using recursive sub-LM calls via `llm_query()` and `llm_batch()`. Extends `ToolUsingAgent`.
+
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+ Q["User Query +
Context"] --> REPL["Create persistent REPL
(context stored as variable)"]
+ REPL --> GEN["Generate code"]
+ GEN --> CODE{"Code block
found?"}

+ CODE -->|Yes| EXEC["Execute in REPL"]
+ EXEC --> TERM{"FINAL() called?"}
+ TERM -->|Yes| RESULT["Return final answer"]

as user message"]
+ FEED --> MAXCHECK{"Max turns
exceeded?"}
+ MAXCHECK -->|No| GEN
+ MAXCHECK -->|Yes| TIMEOUT["Return max_turns_result"]
+```
+
+How it works:
+
+1. Creates a persistent REPL with `llm_query()` and `llm_batch()` callbacks
+2. Injects context from `AgentContext` metadata or memory results into the REPL as a variable
+3. Generates code and executes it in the REPL
+4. If `FINAL(value)` or `FINAL_VAR("name")` is called, returns the final answer
+5. If no code block is found, treats the content as a direct answer
+
+The agent supports configurable sub-model parameters for recursive calls:
+
+| Parameter | Default | Description |
+|-----------|---------|-------------|
+| `sub_model` | same as `model` | Model for sub-LM calls |
+| `sub_temperature` | `0.3` | Temperature for sub-LM calls |
+| `sub_max_tokens` | `1024` | Max tokens for sub-LM calls |
+| `max_output_chars` | `10000` | Max REPL output characters |
+| `system_prompt` | `RLM_SYSTEM_PROMPT` | Override the system prompt |
+
+```python
+from openjarvis.agents.rlm import RLMAgent
+
+agent = RLMAgent(
+ engine,
+ model="qwen3:8b",
+ max_turns=10,
+ sub_model="qwen3:1.7b", # smaller model for sub-queries
+ sub_temperature=0.3,
+)
+result = agent.run("Summarize this document", context=ctx)
+```
+
+### OpenHandsAgent (SDK)
+
+**Registry key:** `openhands`
+
+A thin wrapper around the real `openhands-sdk` package for AI-driven software development tasks. Extends `BaseAgent` directly (does not use `ToolUsingAgent` since tool management is handled by the SDK).
+
+!!! warning "Optional dependency"
+ This agent requires the `openhands-sdk` package (`pip install openjarvis[openhands]`). The SDK requires Python 3.12+.
+
+How it works:
+
+1. Imports `openhands.sdk` at runtime (lazy import)
+2. Creates an LLM, Agent, and Conversation from the SDK
+3. Sends the user input as a message and runs the conversation
+4. Extracts the final message content from the conversation
+
+```python
+from openjarvis.agents.openhands import OpenHandsAgent
+
+agent = OpenHandsAgent(
+ engine,

The agent hierarchy is organized around `BaseAgent` (ABC with concrete helpers) and `ToolUsingAgent` (intermediate base for agents that accept tools, with `accepts_tools = True`).

Agent behavior is configured through `[agent]` in `config.toml`, including the default agent, turn limits, tool list, optional system prompt, and the `context_from_memory` flag (previously `context_injection`) that controls automatic memory context injection. All agents implement the `BaseAgent` ABC with a `run()` method, and are registered via `@AgentRegistry.register("name")`.

+## NativeReActAgent
+
+The `NativeReActAgent` implements a **Thought-Action-Observation** loop following the ReAct pattern. It prompts the LLM to produce structured output (`Thought:`, `Action:`, `Action Input:`, `Final Answer:`) and parses the response to drive tool execution. Extends `ToolUsingAgent`.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. Builds a system prompt listing available tool names.
+2. Generates a response and parses the ReAct-structured output.
+3. If a `Final Answer:` is found, returns it.
+4. If an `Action:` is found, executes the tool and feeds the result back as an `Observation:`.

+## NativeOpenHandsAgent
+
+The `NativeOpenHandsAgent` is a CodeAct-style agent that generates and executes Python code alongside structured tool calls. It can also pre-fetch URL content from user input to provide direct context to the LLM. Extends `ToolUsingAgent`.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. Builds a detailed system prompt with tool descriptions and code execution instructions.
+2. Pre-fetches any URLs in the user input, inlining the content directly.
+3. For each turn, generates a response and attempts to extract code blocks or tool calls.
+4. Code is executed via `code_interpreter`; tool calls are dispatched via `ToolExecutor`.
+5. If neither is found, returns the content as the final answer.
+
+**Constructor parameters:**
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|---------------|-------------------|---------|------------------------------------|
+| `engine` | `InferenceEngine` | -- | The inference engine to use |

+| `temperature` | `float` | `0.7` | Sampling temperature |
+| `max_tokens` | `int` | `2048` | Maximum tokens to generate |
+
+**When to use:** For queries involving URL content, code execution, or tasks where the LLM can write and run Python to solve the problem.
+
+---
+
+## RLMAgent
+
+The `RLMAgent` implements recursive decomposition via a persistent REPL, based on the RLM paper. Context is stored as a Python variable rather than injected into the prompt, enabling processing of arbitrarily long inputs through recursive sub-LM calls. Extends `ToolUsingAgent`.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. Creates a persistent REPL with `llm_query()` and `llm_batch()` callbacks.
+2. Injects context from `AgentContext` into the REPL as a variable.
+3. Generates code and executes it in the REPL.
+4. If `FINAL(value)` is called, returns the value as the final answer.
+5. If no code block is found, treats the content as a direct text answer.

+| `max_tokens` | `int` | `2048` | Maximum tokens to generate |
+| `sub_model` | `str` | same as `model` | Model for sub-LM calls |

+1. Imports `openhands.sdk` at runtime.
+2. Creates an LLM, Agent, and Conversation from the SDK.
+3. Sends the input and runs the conversation.
+4. Returns the final message content.

+| `workspace` | `str` | `os.getcwd()` | Working directory for the agent |
+| `api_key` | `str` | `$LLM_API_KEY`| API key for the LLM provider |
+
+**When to use:** For software development tasks (debugging, code editing, test fixing) where the OpenHands SDK provides a full development agent runtime.
+
+!!! warning "Optional dependency"
+ Requires `openhands-sdk` (`pip install openjarvis[openhands]`) and Python 3.12+.
