Strands Base Agent

Project Status: Available Version

A baseline starter repo from the Agent Foundry team. Teams fork this repo into their own environment and customize it for their use case. Shared infrastructure (DI, lifecycle, middleware, retry, OTel, tool loading) lives in the published foundry-agent-* packages — this repo is the composition root that wires them into a runnable service.

Installing the foundry-* packages

The four foundry-agent-* wheels this repo depends on are published as assets on boozallen/foundry-agent-packages GitHub Releases. The default pyproject.toml pins each package to its GitHub Release wheel URL so a fresh clone runs out of the box — useful for evaluation, demos, and POCs.

Intended adoption pattern: mirror the wheels into your own internal package index (Artifactory, AWS CodeArtifact, Sonatype Nexus, GitLab Package Registry, etc.) and repoint the dependency specs in pyproject.toml at that index. Direct dependence on github.com release URLs is fine for kicking the tires, but production deployments should resolve packages from infrastructure you control.
