## How does Pocket Flow work? The [100 lines](https://github.com/The-Pocket/PocketFlow/blob/main/pocketflow/__init__.py) capture the core abstraction of LLM frameworks: Graph!

From there, it's easy to implement popular design patterns like ([Multi-](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/design_pattern/multi_agent.html))[Agents](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/design_pattern/agent.html), [Workflow](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/design_pattern/workflow.html), [RAG](https://the-pocket.github.io/PocketFlow/design_pattern/rag.html), etc.
