LangChain Chains Skill

SkillDev tools

LangChain chain composition including SequentialChain, RouterChain, and LCEL patterns

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the LangChain Chains Skill skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/specializations/ai-agents-conversational/skills/langchain-chains/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Capabilities

  • Compose LangChain chains using LCEL (LangChain Expression Language)
  • Implement sequential chain patterns
  • Design router chains for conditional logic
  • Create parallel execution chains
  • Handle chain fallbacks and retries
  • Implement streaming chains

Target Processes

  • dialogue-flow-design
  • chatbot-design-implementation

Implementation Details

Chain Patterns

  1. LCEL Pipelines: Modern composition with | operator
  2. SequentialChain: Linear chain execution (legacy)
  3. RouterChain: Conditional routing based on input
  4. RunnableParallel: Parallel execution branches
  5. RunnableBranch: Conditional branching

Configuration Options

  • Input/output key mapping
  • Error handling strategies
  • Retry configuration
  • Streaming settings
  • Batch processing options

Best Practices

  • Use LCEL for new implementations
  • Implement proper input/output schemas
  • Add fallback chains for resilience
  • Use streaming for long operations

Dependencies

  • langchain-core
  • langchain
