# DSPy ReAct Agent Builder ## Goal Build production-quality ReAct agents that use tools to solve complex multi-step tasks with reasoning, acting, and error handling. ## When to Use - Multi-step tasks requiring tool use - Search + reasoning workflows - Complex question answering with external data - Tasks needing calculation, retrieval, or API calls ## Related Skills - Optimize agents: [dspy-gepa-reflective](../dspy-gepa-reflective/SKILL.md) - Connect MCP tools: [dspy-mcp-tool-integration](../dspy-mcp-tool-integration/SKILL.md) - Configure native tool calling: [dspy-adapters-multimodal](../dspy-adapters-multimodal/SKILL.md) - Define signatures: [dspy-signature-designer](../dspy-signature-designer/SKILL.md) - Evaluate performance: [dspy-evaluation-suite](../dspy-evaluation-suite/SKILL.md) ## Inputs | Input | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `signature` | `str` | Task signature (e.g., "question -> answer") | | `tools` | `list[callable]` | Available tools/functions | | `max_iters` | `int` | Max reasoning steps (default: 20) | ## Outputs | Output | Type | Description | |--------|------|-------------| | `agent` | `dspy.ReAct` | Configured ReAct agent | ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Define Tools Tools are Python functions with clear docstrings. The agent uses docstrings to understand tool capabilities: ```python import dspy def search(query: str) -> list[str]: """Search knowledge base for relevant information. Args: query: Search query...
