An agent isn't a chat loop with tools bolted on.

Model, memory, tools, planner, orchestrator, eval: six components with explicit contracts between them. Skip the contracts and you get a demo that collapses in week two.

Two research projects converged into one enterprise SDK.

AutoGen taught Microsoft conversation loops; Semantic Kernel taught it enterprise plumbing. The Agent Framework is the merger, and the migration story matters more than the feature list.

State machines beat agent improv.

Letting agents riff produces great demos and terrible audits. Explicit planner–worker–critic loops encode rejection at the orchestration layer. The same move as scaling-your-no, but structural.

Framework choice is a state-management bet.

LangGraph makes state explicit; CrewAI abstracts roles. Neither is 'better'. The choice is whether your team needs inspectable graphs or faster role-based prototyping.

Same model tier on every step kills ROI.

If your planner, worker, and critic all hit a frontier model, your margin dies. Cost architecture; model routing by task criticality: is as important as prompt architecture.

Chatting with a model isn't a skill. Programming an agent is.

Five learnable skills and two frameworks that separate the people writing their own ticket from the people sending out their hundredth résumé.

Golden traces beat prompt tweaks.

An eval harness isn't a leaderboard; it's rejection infrastructure. Golden traces, regression suites, and critic gates turn encoded judgment into CI for your agents.

Four names, four jobs. Lets stop conflating them.

The LangChain brand spans an abstraction library, a graph runtime, an eval/observability platform, and an expression language. Teams that blur them ship the wrong tool for the layer. Here's the clean mental model.

ADK treats agent development like software engineering. That is the entire trick.

Google's Agent Development Kit is the same framework that powers Agentspace and Gemini Enterprise, open-sourced. Here is the complete map: agents, orchestration, tools, MCP, A2A, A2UI, the dev UI, and a working enterprise build you can deploy with one call.

ADK wins on governance and eval, not API surface.

ADK makes sense when you're already in Google Cloud and need governed agent deployment. The playbook isn't learning the SDK; it's eval gates, IAM boundaries, and critic loops.

Replay the critic's last veto.

Multi-agent bugs look like model failures but they're state-machine failures. The fix is replaying the critic's last rejection and finding the fork, not re-prompting the worker.
