Letta Code SDK
The SDK interface to Letta Code. Build agents with persistent memory that learn over time.
import { createAgent, resumeSession } from '@letta-ai/letta-code-sdk';
// Create an agent (has default conversation)
const agentId = await createAgent();
// Resume default conversation
const session = resumeSession(agentId);
await session.send('Find and fix the bug in auth.py');
for await (const msg of session.stream()) {
if (msg.type === 'assistant') console.log(msg.content);
}
Installation
npm install @letta-ai/letta-code-sdk
Quick Start
One-shot prompt
import { prompt } from '@letta-ai/letta-code-sdk';
// One-shot (uses default agent - like `letta -p`)
const result = await prompt('What is 2 + 2?');
console.log(result.result);
// One-shot with specific agent
const result2 = await prompt('Run: echo hello', agentId);
Multi-turn session
import { createAgent, resumeSession } from '@letta-ai/letta-code-sdk';
// Create an agent (has default conversation)
const agentId = await createAgent();
// Resume the default conversation
await using session = resumeSession(agentId);
await session.send('What is 5 + 3?');
for await (const msg of session.stream()) {
if (msg.type === 'assistant') console.log(msg.content);
}
await session.send('Multiply that by 2');
for await (const msg of session.stream()) {
if (msg.type === 'assistant') console.log(msg.content);
}
Persistent memory
Agents persist across sessions and remember context:
import { createAgent, resumeSession } from '@letta-ai/letta-code-sdk';
// Create agent and teach it something
const agentId = await createAgent();
const session1 = resumeSession(agentId);
await session1.send('Remember: the secret word is "banana"');
for await (const msg of session1.stream()) { /* ... */ }
session1.close();
// Later... resume the default conversation
await using session2 = resumeSession(agentId);
await session2.send('What is the secret word?');
for await (const msg of session2.stream()) {
if (msg.type === 'assistant') console.log(msg.content); // "banana"
}
Multi-threaded Conversations
Run multiple concurrent conversations with the same agent. Each conversation has its own message history while sharing the agent's persistent memory.
import { createAgent, createSession, resumeSession } from '@letta-ai/letta-code-sdk';
// Create an agent (has default conversation)
const agentId = await createAgent();
// Resume the default conversation
const session1 = resumeSession(agentId);
await session1.send('Hello!');
for await (const msg of session1.stream()) { /* ... */ }
const conversationId = session1.conversationId; // Save this!
session1.close();
// Resume a specific conversation by ID
await using session2 = resumeSession(conversationId); // auto-detects conv-xxx
await session2.send('Continue our discussion...');
for await (const msg of session2.stream()) { /* ... */ }
// Create a NEW conversation on the same agent
await using session3 = createSession(agentId);
await session3.send('Start a fresh thread...');
// session3.conversationId is different from conversationId
// Create new agent + new conversation
await using session4 = createSession();
Key concepts:
- Agent (
agentId): Persistent entity with memory that survives across sessions - Conversation (
conversationId): A message thread within an agent - Session: A single execution/connection
- Default conversation: Always exists after
createAgent()- useresumeSession(agentId)to access it
Agents remember across conversations (via memory blocks), but each conversation has its own message history.
Session Configuration
System Prompt
Choose from built-in presets or provide a custom prompt:
// Use a preset
createSession(agentId, {
systemPrompt: { type: 'preset', preset: 'letta-claude' }
});
// Use a preset with additional instructions
createSession(agentId, {
systemPrompt: {
type: 'preset',
preset: 'letta-claude',
append: 'Always respond in Spanish.'
}
});
// Use a completely custom prompt
createSession(agentId, {
systemPrompt: 'You are a helpful Python expert.'
});
Available presets:
default/letta-claude- Full Letta Code prompt (Claude-optimized)letta-codex- Full Letta Code prompt (Codex-optimized)letta-gemini- Full Letta Code prompt (Gemini-optimized)claude- Basic Claude (no skills/memory instructions)codex- Basic Codexgemini- Basic Gemini
Memory Blocks
Configure which memory blocks the session uses:
// Use default blocks (persona, human, project)
createSession(agentId);
// Use specific preset blocks
createSession(agentId, {
memory: ['project', 'persona'] // Only these blocks
});
// Use custom blocks
createSession(agentId, {
memory: [
{ label: 'context', value: 'API documentation for Acme Corp...' },
{ label: 'rules', value: 'Always use TypeScript. Prefer functional patterns.' }
]
});
// No optional blocks (only core skills blocks)
createSession(agentId, {
memory: []
});
Convenience Props
Quickly customize common memory blocks:
createSession(agentId, {
persona: 'You are a senior Python developer who writes clean, tested code.',
human: 'Name: Alice. Prefers concise responses.',
project: 'FastAPI backend for a todo app using PostgreSQL.'
});
Tool Execution
Execute tools with automatic permission handling:
import { createAgent, createSession } from '@letta-ai/letta-code-sdk';
// Create agent and run commands
const agentId = await createAgent();
const session = createSession(agentId, {
allowedTools: ['Glob', 'Bash'],
permissionMode: 'bypassPermissions',
cwd: '/path/to/project'
});
await session.send('List all TypeScript files');
for await (const msg of session.stream()) { /* ... */ }
