I Built a Multi-Agent Starter Kit with LangGraph — 6 Patterns, 5 Providers, One Command

Abhishek Chauhan — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 14:09:08 +0000

If you've built more than one LangGraph project, you know the drill. Supervisor setup. Provider config. Handoff tools. Persistence. Streaming endpoint. Same boilerplate, different repo.

So I stopped rewriting it and packaged the whole thing.

LangGraph Starter Kit

npx create-langgraph-app

Interactive CLI. Pick your provider, pick your patterns, get a project that runs.

Or clone the full kit with everything included.

6 Patterns

Each one is a standalone app you can use, modify, or delete:

Supervisor — central coordinator routes tasks to worker agents
Swarm — agents hand off to each other with transfer tools, no central brain
Human-in-the-Loop — graph pauses for approval before destructive actions
Structured Output — typed JSON responses validated by Zod
Research Agent — web search + scraping, supervisor coordinates a researcher and writer
RAG — in-memory vector store, semantic retrieval, no external DB

5 Providers

LLM_PROVIDER=anthropic
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...

Two lines. Done.

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Ollama (local). Each has a sensible default model. Override with LLM_MODEL if you want.

Extending It

export function createMyApp() {
  const agent = makeAgent({
    name: "my_agent",
    llm,
    tools: [/* your tools */],
    system: "You are a helpful assistant.",
  });

  return makeSupervisor({
    agents: [agent],
    llm,
    outputMode: "last_message",
    supervisorName: "my_supervisor",
  });
}

Also Ships With

MCP tool integration (stdio + HTTP)
SSE streaming on every endpoint
LangGraph Studio config
LangSmith tracing (one env var)
Docker Compose with Postgres
25+ tests, GitHub Actions CI

Get Started

npx create-langgraph-app

Or:

git clone https://github.com/ac12644/langgraph-starter-kit.git
cd langgraph-starter-kit
npm install && cp .env.example .env
npm run dev

ac12644 / langgraph-starter-kit

Boilerplate for building multi-agent AI systems with LangGraph. Includes Swarm and Supervisor patterns, memory, tools, and HTTP API out of the box.

LangGraph Starter Kit

The fastest way to build production-ready multi-agent apps with LangGraph

6 patterns. 5 providers. One command.

Why This Exists

Building multi-agent systems with LangGraph means writing the same boilerplate over and over — setting up supervisors, wiring handoff tools, configuring providers, adding persistence. This starter kit gives you all of that out of the box so you can focus on your agent logic, not infrastructure.

npx create-langgraph-app

What you get:

Pick your LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, or local Ollama)
Choose which agent patterns you need
Get a ready-to-run project with tests, types, and a Fastify server

Or clone the full kit with all 6 patterns included.
