Step 1: Foundational patterns: Executors and edges
What this example shows
- Two ways to define a unit of work (an Executor node):
1) Custom class that subclasses Executor with an async method marked by @handler.
Possible handler signatures:
- (text: str, ctx: WorkflowContext) -> None,
- (text: str, ctx: WorkflowContext[str]) -> None, or
- (text: str, ctx: WorkflowContext[Never, str]) -> None.
The first parameter is the typed input to this node, the input type is str here.
The second parameter is a WorkflowContext[T_Out, T_W_Out].
WorkflowContext[T_Out] is used for nodes that send messages to downstream nodes with ctx.send_message(T_Out).
WorkflowContext[T_Out, T_W_Out] is used for nodes that also yield workflow
output with ctx.yield_output(T_W_Out).
WorkflowContext without type parameters is equivalent to WorkflowContext[Never, Never], meaning this node
neither sends messages to downstream nodes nor yields workflow output.
2) Standalone async function decorated with @executor using the same signature.
Simple steps can use this form; a terminal step can yield output
using ctx.yield_output() to provide workflow results.
- Fluent WorkflowBuilder API:
add_edge(A, B) to connect nodes, set_start_executor(A), then build() -> Workflow.
- Running and results:
workflow.run(initial_input) executes the graph. Terminal nodes yield
outputs using ctx.yield_output(). The workflow runs until idle.
Prerequisites
- No external services required.
"""
# Example 1: A custom Executor subclass
# ------------------------------------
#
# Subclassing Executor lets you define a named node with lifecycle hooks if needed.
# The work itself is implemented in an async method decorated with @handler.
#
# Handler signature contract:
# - First parameter is the typed input to this node (here: text: str)
# - Second parameter is a WorkflowContext[T_Out], where T_Out is the type of data this
# node will emit via ctx.send_message (here: T_Out is str)
#
# Within a handler you typically:
# - Compute a result
# - Forward that result to downstream node(s) using ctx.send_message(result)
class UpperCase(Executor):
def __init__(self, id: str):
super().__init__(id=id)
@handler
async def to_upper_case(self, text: str, ctx: WorkflowContext[str]) -> None:
"""Convert the input to uppercase and forward it to the next node.
Note: The WorkflowContext is parameterized with the type this handler will
emit. Here WorkflowContext[str] means downstream nodes should expect str.
"""
result = text.upper()
# Send the result to the next executor in the workflow.
await ctx.send_message(result)
# Example 2: A standalone function-based executor
# -----------------------------------------------
#
# For simple steps you can skip subclassing and define an async function with the
# same signature pattern (typed input + WorkflowContext[T_Out, T_W_Out]) and decorate it with
# @executor. This creates a fully functional node that can be wired into a flow.
@executor(id="reverse_text_executor")
async def reverse_text(text: str, ctx: WorkflowContext[Never, str]) -> None:
"""Reverse the input string and yield the workflow output.
This node yields the final output using ctx.yield_output(result).
The workflow will complete when it becomes idle (no more work to do).
The WorkflowContext is parameterized with two types:
- T_Out = Never: this node does not send messages to downstream nodes.
- T_W_Out = str: this node yields workflow output of type str.

Step 2: Agents in a Workflow non-streaming
This sample uses two custom executors. A Writer agent creates or edits content,
then hands the conversation to a Reviewer agent which evaluates and finalizes the result.
Purpose:
Show how to wrap chat agents created by AzureOpenAIChatClient inside workflow executors. Demonstrate how agents
automatically yield outputs when they complete, removing the need for explicit completion events.
The workflow completes when it becomes idle.
Prerequisites:
- Azure OpenAI configured for AzureOpenAIChatClient with required environment variables.

- Basic familiarity with WorkflowBuilder, executors, edges, events, and streaming or non streaming runs.

Step 3: Agents in a workflow with streaming
A Writer agent generates content,
then passes the conversation to a Reviewer agent that finalizes the result.
The workflow is invoked with run_stream so you can observe events as they occur.
Purpose:
Show how to wrap chat agents created by AzureOpenAIChatClient inside workflow executors, wire them with WorkflowBuilder,
and consume streaming events from the workflow. Demonstrate the @handler pattern with typed inputs and typed
WorkflowContext[T_Out, T_W_Out] outputs. Agents automatically yield outputs when they complete.
The streaming loop also surfaces WorkflowEvent.origin so you can distinguish runner-generated lifecycle events
from executor-generated data-plane events.
