@reactive-agents/interaction

Interaction modes for the Reactive Agents framework.

Gives agents 5 levels of autonomy — from fully autonomous to human-in-the-loop collaborative — with dynamic transitions based on confidence and cost.

Installation

bun add @reactive-agents/interaction effect

The 5 Modes

Mode	Autonomy	When it activates
`autonomous`	Full — no interruptions	High confidence, routine tasks
`supervised`	Periodic checkpoints	Moderate confidence
`collaborative`	Human decides key steps	Complex or ambiguous tasks
`consultative`	Human approves before acting	High-cost or risky operations
`interrogative`	Human provides all direction	Information gathering only

Usage

import { ReactiveAgents } from "reactive-agents";

const agent = await ReactiveAgents.create()
  .withName("assistant")
  .withProvider("anthropic")
  .withInteraction({
    defaultMode: "supervised",
    onCheckpoint: async (ctx) => {
      // Called when agent wants human approval
      console.log("Agent wants to: ", ctx.proposedAction);
      return { approved: true };
    },
  })
  .build();

Modes transition automatically — an autonomous agent escalates to consultative if it detects a high-cost operation, then de-escalates when confidence recovers.
