# Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework Declarative

Please install this package via pip:

```bash
pip install agent-framework-declarative --pre
```

## Release stage

This package ships at two different stability levels:

- **Declarative workflows** (`WorkflowFactory`, executors, handlers, and the
  `_workflows` surface) are at **release-candidate** stability and may receive only
  minor refinements before GA.
- **Declarative agents** (`AgentFactory` and the YAML agent loading/parsing path:
  `DeclarativeLoaderError`, `ProviderLookupError`, `ProviderTypeMapping`) are
  **experimental** and may change or be removed in future versions without notice.
  Using any of these symbols emits an `ExperimentalWarning` on first use.

## Declarative features

The declarative packages provides support for building agents based on a declarative yaml specification.
