Pocket Flow - LLM Framework in 100 Lines
[](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/)
A [100-line](pocketflow/__init__.py) minimalist LLM framework for ([Multi-](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/multi_agent.html))[Agents](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/agent.html), [Prompt Chaining](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/decomp.html), [RAG](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/rag.html), etc.
- Install via ```pip install pocketflow```, or just copy the [source code](pocketflow/__init__.py) (only 100 lines).

## Why Pocket Flow? Let LLM Agents Build LLM Agents for You!
Pocket Flow is designed to be **the framework used by LLM Agents**:
- 🧑 Human users only need to specify LLM project requirements.
- 🤖 LLM Agents build the LLM project for you, using *Pocket Flow*.
To build LLM projects with LLM Agents (Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.):
- **[Cursor Rules](https://docs.cursor.com/context/rules-for-ai)**: Copy and paste the [.cursorrules](https://github.com/The-Pocket/PocketFlow/blob/main/assets/.cursorrules) (created from [docs](docs)) into the root of your project.
- **[ChatGPT Project](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10169521-using-projects-in-chatgpt)**: Create a project and upload the [docs](docs) to project knowledge.
- **[Claude Project](https://www.anthropic.com/news/projects)**: Create a project and upload the [docs](docs) to project knowledge.
- **GPT Store**: Try this [GPT assistant](https://chatgpt.com/g/g-677464af36588191b9eba4901946557b-mini-llm-flow-assistant). However, it uses older models and is not very good at coding.
## What Is Pocket Flow? Graph + Shared Store
The [100 lines](pocketflow/__init__.py) capture what we believe to be the core abstraction of LLM projects:
- **Computation Model**: A *graph* that breaks down tasks into multiple nodes, with *branching, recursion, and nesting*.
- **Communication Model**: A *shared store* that all graph nodes can read and write to.
From there, it’s easy to implement popular design patterns like ([Multi-](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/multi_agent.html))[Agents](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/agent.html), [Prompt Chaining](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/decomp.html), [RAG](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/rag.html), etc.
