# Experimental Features
2+
3+
## What are Experimental Features?
4+
5+
Experimental features in Strands Agents are cutting-edge capabilities that are:
6+
- In active development and testing
7+
- Subject to breaking changes
8+
- Available for early feedback and evaluation
9+
- Not recommended for production use without careful consideration
10+
11+
## Current Experimental Features
12+
13+
### Configuration Loaders
14+
Declarative configuration for agents, tools, swarms, and graphs with comprehensive schema validation and IDE integration support.
15+
16+
**Key Features:**
17+
- **Schema Validation**: Comprehensive JSON Schema validation with IDE integration
18+
- **IDE Support**: VSCode, IntelliJ, Vim autocompletion and real-time validation
19+
- **Type Safety**: Enforced structure and types without restrictive constraints
20+
- **Nested Configurations**: Support for agents-as-tools, graphs-as-tools, swarms-as-tools
21+
- **Error Prevention**: Catch configuration errors before runtime
22+
23+
**Configuration Types:**
24+
- **Agent Configuration**: Single agents with tools, structured output, and advanced features
25+
- **Graph Configuration**: Multi-agent workflows with nodes, edges, and conditions
26+
- **Swarm Configuration**: Collaborative agent teams with autonomous coordination
27+
- **Tool Configuration**: Standalone tool definitions and agent-as-tool patterns
28+
29+
## Using Experimental Features
30+
31+
### Installation
32+
```bash
33+
# Experimental features are included in the main SDK
34+
pip install strands-agents
35+
```
36+
37+
### Enabling Experimental Features
38+
```python
39+
from strands.experimental.config_loader import AgentConfigLoader
40+
41+
# All configurations require top-level keys for schema validation
42+
config = {
43+
"agent": {
44+
"model": "us.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0",
45+
"system_prompt": "You are a helpful assistant.",
46+
"tools": [{"name": "calculator"}]
47+
}
48+
}
49+
50+
loader = AgentConfigLoader()
51+
agent = loader.load_agent(config)
52+
```
53+
54+
### IDE Integration Setup
55+
56+
**Global VSCode Settings:**
57+
```json
58+
{
59+
"yaml.schemas": {
60+
"https://strandsagents.com/schemas/config/v1": "*.strands.yml"
61+
}
62+
}
63+
```
64+
65+
## Configuration Examples
66+
67+
### Agent Configuration
68+
```python
69+
config = {
70+
"agent": {
71+
"model": "us.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0",
72+
"system_prompt": "You are a helpful assistant.",
73+
"tools": [
74+
{"name": "calculator"},
75+
{
76+
"name": "research_assistant",
77+
"agent": {
78+
"model": "us.amazon.nova-lite-v1:0",
79+
"system_prompt": "Research: {topic}"
80+
},
81+
"input_schema": {
82+
"type": "object",

]
90+
}
91+
}
92+
```
93+
94+
### Graph Configuration
95+
```python
96+
config = {
97+
"graph": {
98+

99+
{
100+
"node_id": "classifier",
101+

113+
}
114+
}
115+
],
116+
"edges": [
117+
{
118+
"from_node": "classifier",
119+
"to_node": "processor",
120+
"condition": {
121+
"type": "expression",
122+
"expression": "state.results.get('classifier', {}).get('status') == 'complete'"
123+
}
124+
}
125+
],
126+
"entry_points": ["classifier"]
127+
}
128+
}
129+
```
130+
131+

159+
160+
### For Teams
161+
- **Consistency**: Enforced structure across all configurations
162+
- **Error Prevention**: Reduce runtime configuration errors
163+
- **Collaboration**: Clear configuration contracts between team members
164+
- **Maintenance**: Easier to update and maintain complex configurations
165+
166+
## Stability and Support
