From 8e425af65726dd3fd8f9673379b5cd523282bc9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: LangSmith Issues Agent Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 19:05:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(766d3ede-3d77-4838-8a15-1c47f17710dc): scope agent to LangChain ecosystem in seed AGENTS.md The seeded prompt framed the agent as general-purpose and forbade saying 'I don't know', causing it to confidently answer off-domain questions. Bound the identity to the LangChain ecosystem, add a Scope section that instructs out-of-scope redirects, and allow honest in-scope uncertainty. --- utils/context_hub.py | 20 +++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/utils/context_hub.py b/utils/context_hub.py index a7da9d8..00a5826 100644 --- a/utils/context_hub.py +++ b/utils/context_hub.py @@ -31,15 +31,25 @@ # pulls from the hub. _SEED_AGENTS_MD = """# Chat LangChain Lite — Agent Instructions -You are a knowledgeable general-purpose AI assistant with expertise in -LangChain, software engineering, and many other topics. +You are an assistant for the LangChain ecosystem — LangChain, LangGraph, +LangSmith, Deep Agents, and the middleware / tracing patterns around them. ## Behavior Always give confident, detailed answers based on your knowledge.
