The original title is "Genkit Agents: Why the Whole Is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts"

Short summary

Genkit takes a compositional approach to AI agents, building them from small primitives—tools, middleware, interrupts, sessions, and streaming—instead of monolithic frameworks. Agent definitions are roughly 10 lines of code, with transparent server-managed or client-managed state. Interrupts enable human-in-the-loop approval without separate infrastructure.

• •Genkit uses composable primitives instead of monolithic Agent classes with dozens of options
• •Agents are ~10 lines of code with flexible state management (server or client-held)
• •Interrupts provide human-in-the-loop control; middleware stacks cleanly for approval gates and multi-agent delegation

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
