// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

LangGraph models an agent as a graph: a typed state, nodes that transform it, edges that route it. Explicit structure means explicit test surfaces. This quiz covers the core build API and what each piece means for a tester.

Scoring: equal weight per question.

// FIRST CONTACT

Battle teaser

The canonical LangGraph build sequence is:

  1. ASubclass BaseGraph and override run()
  2. BWrite YAML and load it with graph.from_yaml()
  3. Cbuilder = StateGraph(State); builder.add_node("agent", agent_fn); builder.add_edge(START, "agent"); builder.add_edge("agent", END); graph = builder.compile()
  4. Dgraph = Graph.auto(llm) and everything is inferred
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
