+# task-agent — system design
+
+## Problem
+Recruiters want evidence of agentic systems: planning, tool use, reflection, and grounded output.
+This project is an autonomous research-analyst agent that takes a question, plans, calls real tools,
+reflects on evidence, and returns a cited report with a visible tool-call trace.
+
+## Constraints
+- $0 infra (HF Spaces CPU, free LLM tier).
+- NVIDIA NIM (OpenAI-compatible) primary LLM; Groq/Gemini optional fallback only.
+- No local GPU. Windows + PowerShell dev host (sandbox must not rely on Unix `signal.SIGALRM`).
+
+## Architecture
+```
+User question
+   ↓
+LangGraph StateGraph: plan → act → reflect → (route: act | finalize) → END
+   ↓
+Tools (act node chooses one per step via JSON):
+  • web_search   — DuckDuckGo (ddgs)
+  • web_fetch    — httpx + trafilatura main-text extraction
+  • python_repl  — AST-vetted restricted sandbox, thread-timeout, no imports/I/O
+  • summarize    — NIM-backed abstractive summary
+   ↓
+NVIDIA NIM (nvidia/llama-3.3-nemotron-super-49b-v1) drives planner/actor/reflector/finalizer
+   ↓
+Final cited report + live tool-call trace (Gradio)
+```
+
+## Trade-offs
+- **Rule-based judge vs LLM-as-judge:** benchmark uses deterministic keyword/source checks so
+  pass/fail is reproducible and free (no judge LLM spend).
+- **Single-tool-per-step actor** (JSON) over parallel tool arrays: simpler control flow, easier to
+  trace; capped at `MAX_STEPS=6` to bound cost.
+- **Cross-platform sandbox:** AST safety check + `ThreadPoolExecutor` timeout (works on Windows;
+  `signal.SIGALRM` is Unix-only). Threads can't be hard-killed, so the AST gate is the real safety
+  barrier — execution time is a liveness guard, not a security boundary.
+- **Smoke mocks** the agent entirely in CI (zero network/LLM spend); live run behind local exec.
+
+## Eval strategy
+5-task benchmark (`eval/benchmark_tasks.json`) over stable, verifiable facts (sum of squares 1..20 =
+2870; 2024 Nobel Physics = Hopfield & Hinton; PyPI metadata; Kaggle/HF leaderboard URLs). Pass
+threshold ≥ 4/5. Judge = required keywords + optional source-URL presence.

+A LangGraph agent that plans → acts (web_search, web_fetch, restricted python_repl, summarize) →
+reflects → produces a cited report, with a Gradio UI showing the live tool-call trace.
+
+## What it does
+Give it a research question. It writes a plan, calls tools step-by-step, reflects on whether it has
+enough evidence, then writes a final report with inline source citations. Every tool call is shown
+in the trace panel.
+
+## Architecture
+```
+question → LangGraph (plan → act → reflect → route → finalize)
+  tools: web_search (ddgs) · web_fetch (httpx+trafilatura) · python_repl (sandboxed) · summarize
+  LLM:   NVIDIA NIM (nvidia/llama-3.3-nemotron-super-49b-v1), Groq/Gemini optional fallback
+→ cited report + tool-call trace (Gradio)
+```

+## Skills demonstrated (mapped to JD-corpus demand)
+
+| Skill | Demand % (1,483 AI/ML JDs) | Where in this repo |
+|---|---|---|
+| agent | 17% overall · 30% genai | `src/task_agent/graph.py` LangGraph loop |
+| function calling / tool use | core genai agent skill | `src/task_agent/tools/` |
+| planning & orchestration | agent JDs | plan→act→reflect→finalize nodes |

+| LLM integration | 23% | `src/task_agent/llm.py` (NVIDIA NIM) |
+| CI/CD · Docker | 13% | `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, `Dockerfile` |
+
+## Eval results
+| Task | Pass |
+|---|---|
+| b1 Kaggle LLM prizes | see `eval/results.json` |
+| b2 HF Open LLM Leaderboard | see `eval/results.json` |
+| b3 LangGraph PyPI Python version | see `eval/results.json` |
+| b4 sum of squares 1..20 = 2870 | deterministic |
+| b5 2024 Nobel Physics | see `eval/results.json` |
+
+Threshold: **>=4/5**. Smoke (mocked) runs in CI; full live eval needs `NVIDIA_API_KEY` + network.
+
+## Run locally
+```powershell
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+python -m task_agent.app     # Gradio at http://127.0.0.1:7860
+# or CLI:
+python -m task_agent.cli "Who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics?"
+```
+
+## How it was built (agent-driven note)
+Built by Claude Code via TDD micro-steps. NVIDIA NIM is the primary LLM (OpenAI-compatible);
+Groq/Gemini are optional fallbacks only. Sandbox is AST-vetted and cross-platform (no Unix-only
+signals). CI runs a fully mocked smoke; live benchmark run is local-only to bound API spend.
