Conversation
Implements external agents (Claude/Gemini/Codex/Cursor) as subagents across all PraisonAI UI entry points. Key changes: - Created shared DRY helper: src/praisonai/praisonai/ui/_external_agents.py - Updated ui_chat/default_app.py to use Agent instead of direct OpenAI calls - Added external agent switches to ui/chat.py with settings persistence - Replaced duplicate Claude implementation in ui/code.py (~95 lines removed) - Added external agent support to ui/agents.py AgentTeam workflow - Maintained backward compatibility with claude_code_enabled legacy setting - Added lazy caching and availability gating (hide uninstalled agents) - Comprehensive test coverage in tests/integration/test_ui_external_agents.py Architecture: - Protocol-driven design following AGENTS.md guidelines - Single source of truth eliminates code duplication - Lazy imports for no performance impact - Multi-agent safe with stateless integrations - Dynamic agent instructions reflect available tools Fixes #1418 Co-authored-by: MervinPraison <MervinPraison@users.noreply.github.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR introduces external agent UI integration across all PraisonAI UI entry points through a new centralized module. It enables dynamic discovery, availability detection, UI widget generation, and runtime tool instantiation for external CLI-based agents (Claude, Gemini, Codex, Cursor).

Inline comments:
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/ui_chat/default_app.py`:
- Around line 52-78: The module-global _agent causes cross-user state leaks;
replace it with a session-scoped cache keyed by the per-request/session id and
settings fingerprint: stop using the module-level _agent in _get_agent and
instead store/retrieve agents from a dict (e.g., agents_cache[session_id +
settings_key]); in _get_agent(settings) use the current session id (from aiui
context or equivalent) and include settings in the cache key so different
settings produce different agents; update on_settings (decorated with
aiui.settings) to invalidate only the affected session keys (or clear the whole
cache for that session) rather than setting a global _agent = None; continue to
import Agent and external_agent_tools as before and construct new Agent
instances per session when cache miss occurs.
- Around line 80-96: Replace the blocking synchronous call in on_message by
awaiting the agent's async method: use await agent.achat(str(message)) instead
of agent.start(str(message)); then stream the returned response using the same
token-preserving split logic used in ui/chat.py (preserve original whitespace
rather than str(result).split(" ")). Also update the signature typing from
settings: dict = None to settings: dict | None = None to avoid implicit
Optional, and replace the broad except Exception block with
logger.exception(...) to log the full traceback when the agent call fails so you
can then fall back to OpenAI.
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/ui/_external_agents.py`:
- Around line 33-49: In external_agent_tools, broaden the try/except around
importing, instantiating and calling the integration so that any Exception
raised by getattr(...)[meta["cls"]](workspace=...) or integration.as_tool() (not
just ImportError/AttributeError) is caught and the faulty integration is
skipped; specifically, keep the import and getattr but catch Exception (or add a
second except Exception) for failures during meta["cls"](...) and
integration.as_tool(), log or ignore the exception, and continue so that a
single misbehaving integration does not abort building the full tools list
(referencing external_agent_tools, EXTERNAL_AGENTS, meta['module'], meta['cls'],
integration.is_available, and integration.as_tool()).
- Around line 75-99: The function load_external_agent_settings_from_chainlit
currently imports praisonai.ui.chat.load_setting (causing
circular/import-side-effect issues) and lets empty-string persistent values
overwrite a legacy true flag; change the signature to accept an optional
load_setting callable (e.g. def
load_external_agent_settings_from_chainlit(load_setting:
Optional[Callable[[str], Optional[str]]] = None)), use the injected loader when
provided and only import praisonai.ui.chat.load_setting as a fallback inside the
function (catch ImportError), and when applying persistent values for each
EXTERNAL_AGENTS toggle only write settings[toggle_id] if persistent_value is not
None and persistent_value != "" (or otherwise explicitly indicates "true" or
"false"), so the legacy_claude True (settings["claude_enabled"]) is not silently
clobbered by empty/missing persistent values.
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/ui/agents.py`:
- Around line 698-704: The unconditional import of chainlit_switches will raise
before the try/except for load_external_agent_settings_from_chainlit can catch
missing-module errors; move the import of chainlit_switches into the same try
block (or wrap both imports together) so both from praisonai.ui._external_agents
imports (chainlit_switches and load_external_agent_settings_from_chainlit) are
attempted inside the try and on ImportError you set external_settings = {} and
handle the absence of chainlit_switches accordingly.
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/ui/chat.py`:
- Around line 520-530: The cache invalidation only checks cached_model !=
model_name, so include a comparison of the current external agent settings
(built from EXTERNAL_AGENTS as external_settings via
save_external_agent_settings_to_chainlit) with the cached settings in the
session and clear the cached agent when they differ; update the block that reads
cl.user_session.get("_cached_agent_model") to also read and compare
cl.user_session.get("_cached_agent_external_settings") (or similar key) against
the new external_settings and call cl.user_session.set("_cached_agent", None)
and set the updated model and external settings when invalidating. Also mirror
this change inside _get_or_create_agent so the cache key/lookup includes the
external settings (i.e., include external_settings in whatever key or session
fields you use to decide reuse) so toggling Claude/Gemini/Codex/Cursor forces
rebuilding tools even if model_name is unchanged.
In `@src/praisonai/tests/integration/test_ui_external_agents.py`:
- Around line 123-131: The test test_claude_code_enabled_legacy_support is a
no-op; replace the pass with a real test that verifies
load_external_agent_settings_from_chainlit maps the legacy key
claude_code_enabled to claude_enabled: mock chainlit.user_session to return a
session containing {"claude_code_enabled": True}, monkeypatch
praisonai.ui.chat.load_setting to return None for persistent keys, call
praisonai.ui._external_agents.load_external_agent_settings_from_chainlit(), and
assert the resulting dict has "claude_enabled" == True; reference the test
method name and the function load_external_agent_settings_from_chainlit to
locate where to add the assertions.

later overwrites agent.tools with role_tools built only from

external_tools when existing_tools is a string); fix by removing or keeping
all_tools only as fallback in the Agent(...) call and instead merge
external_tools into role_tools after role tool-resolution: when you build
role_tools (the value later assigned to agent.tools), resolve YAML names into
callables as before and then extend/append the external_tools list (handling the
case where existing_tools is a string by treating it as a module reference but
still appending external_tools to role_tools when role_tools is a list),

- Around line 419-428: The tools list is mutating the cached list returned by

tavily_web_search and extend with external_agent_tools(external_settings,
workspace=...) after loading external_settings via
load_external_agent_settings_from_chainlit so the cached
_get_interactive_tools() value remains unchanged.
- Around line 801-815: The resumed chat UI is missing external-agent toggles;
update on_chat_resume to include chainlit_switches(external_settings) when
constructing the ChatSettings (same pattern used in start()), so the model/tool
switches (Claude/Gemini/Codex/Cursor) are preserved on resume; also update
setup_agent to persist the legacy flag by writing claude_code_enabled when
calling save_external_agent_settings_to_chainlit (keep the same
external_settings object shape) so backward compatibility matches code.py and
start().

Module-global _agent breaks session isolation (cross-user state leak).
_agent is a module-level singleton shared across every request/session served by this aiui app. In a multi-user deployment, User A's Agent (with their external-agent toggles, instructions, and any accumulated state) will be returned to User B, and User B's settings change in on_settings invalidates the agent for all users simultaneously.
This conflicts with the session-isolation design used in ui/chat.py and ui/code.py, which key the cached agent off cl.user_session. Since aiui likely exposes a per-session context similar to Chainlit, the cache should be session-scoped there as well.
Also:
- The cache key doesn't include
settings, so once_agentis built for one set of toggles,_get_agent(different_settings)returns the stale agent (invalidation only happens viaon_settings, not on natural settings changes passed toon_message).
Based on learnings: "Maintain multi-agent safety: avoid shared mutable global state between agents, ensure each agent owns its context/memory/session".

Use await agent.achat() instead of agent.start() to avoid blocking the event loop.
Line 90 calls agent.start(str(message)) synchronously from an async function. Since start() is a synchronous method that calls chat() (which performs LLM network I/O and tool execution), the entire async handler blocks while the agent works—preventing other requests from being served. The async equivalent achat() exists and is used correctly in ui/chat.py line 600.
Additionally, str(result).split(" ") collapses whitespace and mangles formatting; the pattern in chat.py splits words and preserves inter-word spacing more faithfully.
Also note: PEP 484 prohibits implicit Optional in the signature (settings: dict = None → settings: dict | None = None), and the broad except Exception at line 95 should log with logger.exception(...) for debuggability.
🛠️ Proposed fix
- # Use agent.start() for synchronous call - agent handles async internally

- # Stream the response token by token
- for chunk in str(result).split(" "):
- await aiui.stream_token(chunk + " ")

Too-narrow except — non-import errors from integration init/as_tool() will crash tool assembly.
importlib.import_module raises ImportError, and getattr raises AttributeError. But cls(workspace=workspace) and integration.as_tool() can raise anything (TypeError for signature mismatches, OSError during availability probes, third-party errors, etc.).

Hard-codingchat.load_settingmeans loadingcode.py's UI still pullschat.py's module-level side effects (logger setup,CHAINLIT_AUTH_SECRETgeneration, deferred DB access paths) into the process. - Minor correctness risk:

Cache invalidation check doesn't actually compare external-agent settings.
The comment at line 525 claims the cache is invalidated "if model changed or external agents changed", but the condition at line 527 only compares cached_model != model_name. If the user toggles Claude/Gemini/Codex/Cursor without changing the model, the cached agent is reused and the updated tools list is never assembled — toggle changes won't take effect until the next model change or session.
🛠️ Proposed fix
- # Invalidate cached agent if model changed or external agents changed
+ # Invalidate cached agent if model changed or external agents changed
cached_model = cl.user_session.get("_cached_agent_model")
- if cached_model != model_name:
+ cached_external = cl.user_session.get("_cached_agent_external", {})
+ if cached_model != model_name or cached_external != external_settings:
cl.user_session.set("_cached_agent", None)
cl.user_session.set("_cached_agent_model", None)
+ cl.user_session.set("_cached_agent_external", None)You'll also need to mirror this in _get_or_create_agent (cache key must include the external settings), as code.py already does at lines 336-340.

test_claude_code_enabled_legacy_support is a pass — legacy behavior isn't actually tested.
The PR objectives specifically call out "legacy key handling" as an acceptance criterion, and the _external_agents.load_external_agent_settings_from_chainlit function contains non-trivial logic for mapping claude_code_enabled → claude_enabled from both persistent storage and cl.user_session. The test body is just a pass with a comment that this is "tested elsewhere" — but there is no other test covering it in this file.

Greptile SummaryThis PR introduces a shared Key changes:
Issues found:
Confidence Score: 3/5Not safe to merge yet — two P1 issues in code.py (unguarded imports crash three core handlers; env-var priority silently overrides user settings) need fixing before ship. The shared helper is well-designed, the agents.py tool-merge bug is correctly fixed, and test coverage is solid. However, code.py has two concrete P1 issues: bare imports of _external_agents without try/except will crash start(), on_chat_resume(), and main() if the module fails to load; and the env-var priority logic permanently ignores the user's explicit persistent disable of Claude — a behavior that diverges from every other entry point. These are straightforward fixes but affect the core message-handling path of praisonai ui code. src/praisonai/praisonai/ui/code.py — bare imports and legacy migration priority Important Files Changed

lru_cache on installed_external_agents is process-lifetime — consider documenting the restart requirement
The @lru_cache(maxsize=1) caches the PATH check for the entire lifetime of the process. If a user installs a new CLI tool (e.g., npm install -g @google/gemini-cli) while the UI server is running, the new agent will not appear without restarting the server. This can be confusing.
At a minimum, add a docstring note:
@lru_cache(maxsize=1)
def installed_external_agents() -> List[str]:
"""Return toggle ids of external agents whose CLI is on PATH.
Result is cached for the lifetime of the process. Restart the
UI server after installing a new external agent CLI for it to appear.
"""Alternatively, cache with a TTL (e.g., using cachetools.TTLCache) or expose a installed_external_agents.cache_clear() call via a settings-refresh hook.

on_settings never clears any cached agent, causing a memory leak
_get_agent stores agents under composite keys of the form f"{session_id}:{settings_key}" (e.g., "abc123:[('claude_enabled', False)]"), but on_settings tries to delete using the plain session_id (e.g., "abc123"). That key never exists in _agents_cache, so the if session_id in _agents_cache: branch is always False and nothing is ever removed.
The functional consequence is a memory leak: every distinct settings combination per session adds a new entry to the module-level dict that is never evicted. In a long-running server this dict grows without bound.
Fix the handler to remove all entries that belong to the current session:
@aiui.settings
async def on_settings(new_settings):
session_id = getattr(aiui.current_session, 'id', 'default')
prefix = f"{session_id}:"
stale_keys = [k for k in _agents_cache if k.startswith(prefix)]
for k in stale_keys:

_external_agents inside a hot path
Every other call-site that imports from praisonai.ui._external_agents wraps the import in a try/except ImportError (see agents.py lines 431–437, code.py start(), etc.). Here, the import is bare — if the module fails to load (e.g., a circular import during startup, a missing transitive dependency), _get_or_create_agent raises an unhandled ImportError that bubbles up on every message, effectively making the chat UI unusable.
Apply the same defensive pattern used elsewhere:
# Add external agent tools
try:
from praisonai.ui._external_agents import external_agent_tools
tools.extend(
external_agent_tools(
external_agents_settings,
workspace=os.environ.get("PRAISONAI_WORKSPACE", "."),
)

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The identical PRAISONAI_CLAUDECODE_ENABLED → claude_enabled migration block (legacy env-var check + load_setting loop) appears verbatim in both start() (lines ~403–426) and on_chat_resume() (lines ~709–774). If the migration logic needs to change, it must be updated in two places — precisely the duplication the PR set out to eliminate.
Extract it to a small helper (or add it to _external_agents.py) and call it from both functions:
def _load_code_external_settings() -> dict:
"""Load external agent settings for code.py with legacy backward compat."""
from praisonai.ui._external_agents import EXTERNAL_AGENTS
external_settings = {}
legacy_claude = os.getenv("PRAISONAI_CLAUDECODE_ENABLED", "false").lower() == "true"
if not legacy_claude:
legacy_claude = (load_setting("claude_code_enabled") or "false").lower() == "true"
if legacy_claude:
external_settings["claude_enabled"] = True
for toggle_id in EXTERNAL_AGENTS:
if toggle_id not in external_settings:
setting_value = load_setting(toggle_id)
external_settings[toggle_id] = bool(setting_value and setting_value.lower() == "true")
return external_settings

_external_agents crash three core handlers
start() (line 409), on_chat_resume() (line 715), and main() (line 546) all import from praisonai.ui._external_agents without any try/except ImportError guard. If the module fails to load (circular import, missing transitive dependency, packaging issue), every incoming message and every chat-start event raises an unhandled ImportError that kills the request for every user.
The same pattern was previously flagged in chat.py. Apply the same defensive wrapper here:
# start() — load external agent settings with backward compatibility
try:
from praisonai.ui._external_agents import chainlit_switches, EXTERNAL_AGENTS
except ImportError:
chainlit_switches = lambda _settings: []
EXTERNAL_AGENTS = {}
external_settings = {}The same guard should be applied in on_chat_resume() (line 715) and in main() (line 546).
Fixes #1418
Summary
