Community ADE Project State

Project: Letta Community Agentic Development Environment Orchestrator: Ani (Annie Tunturi) Created: March 18, 2026 Last Updated: March 21, 2026 Status: Active Development — Full Platform Operational

Project History

Ani initiated the research phase on March 18, commissioning competitive analysis, orchestration design, and execution planning. After reviewing the outputs and identifying that the implementation needed a unified, SDK-first architecture, she took direct control.

Key architectural decisions:

Unified codebase — one mvp-unified/ project, not fragmented per-model experiments
SDK-first mandate — every feature flows through @letta-ai/letta-client or @letta-ai/letta-code-sdk
Host-native deployment — SDK sessions require letta-code CLI on the host (Docker for Redis only)
Full lifecycle management — create, configure, chat with, and delete agents from a single dashboard
Sequential build plan — 11 ordered steps, each verified against the live Letta server

Current State (March 21, 2026)

What's Working

Express backend on :4421 connected to Letta server via @letta-ai/letta-client
React dashboard on :4422 with hot-reload dev server
Agent Management:
- Agent listing with grid view
- 5-step agent creation wizard (name → model → tools → system prompt → review)
- Full config editor (all LLM params: model, context window, reasoning, sleeptime, etc.)
- Memory block viewing and inline editing
- System prompt viewing and editing
- Tool listing per agent
- Agent deletion with confirmation
- Cross-tab navigation (Chat with Agent from detail view)
Chat:
- SDK session creation via @letta-ai/letta-code-sdk
- SSE streaming with typed message rendering (assistant, reasoning, tool calls, results)
- Cost and duration tracking per turn
Task Queue:
- Redis Streams task queue with consumer groups
- Worker pool (configurable count, default 2)
- Task creation, cancellation, retry from dashboard
- Stats bar (pending, running, completed, failed, workers)
- Exponential backoff retry with jitter
Models:
- Unified model listing with provider filter
- Live data from Letta server (29+ tools, 38+ agents)
Infrastructure:
- Redis on :4420 (Docker container ade-redis)
- Graceful shutdown handling
- CORS enabled for cross-origin dev

Architecture

React Dashboard (:4422) → Express Backend (:4421) → Letta Server (:8283)
                                                  → Redis (:4420)
                                                  → letta-code CLI (SDK sessions)
