Klisk is a framework for building AI agents programmatically. Define agents and tools with a simple API, iterate with an interactive Studio, and deploy to production — all from the CLI.

​
What is Klisk?

Klisk provides a complete development workflow for AI agents:

Define Programmatically

Build agents and tools using a clean Python API built on top of the OpenAI Agents SDK

Interactive Studio

Test and debug your agents in a visual browser-based development environment with hot reload

Multi-Provider Support

Use any LLM provider via LiteLLM — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and more

One-Command Deploy

Deploy to Google Cloud Run with a single CLI command

​
Key Features

​
Simple Agent Definition

Define agents with a declarative API that handles all the complexity: 
from klisk import define_agent, get_tools

agent = define_agent(
    name="Assistant",
    instructions="You are a helpful assistant.",
    model="gpt-5.2",
    tools=get_tools("greet"),
)

​
Custom Tools

Create tools using a simple decorator pattern. Klisk automatically extracts type hints and docstrings to generate tool schemas: 
from klisk import tool

@tool
async def greet(name: str) -> str:
    """Greet someone by name."""
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

​
Visual Development Studio

Launch an interactive development environment that opens in your browser: 
klisk dev my-agent
The Studio provides:
  • Agent graph — visualize agents and their connected tools
  • Live chat — test your agent with file attachments and tool call inspection
  • Inline editing — modify agent configuration directly from the UI
  • Hot reload — code changes update instantly without restarting

​
Multi-Provider LLM Support

Use any LLM provider via LiteLLM integration. Just prefix the model name: 
# OpenAI (default)
define_agent(name="Agent", model="gpt-5.2")

# Anthropic
define_agent(name="Agent", model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929")

# Google
define_agent(name="Agent", model="gemini/gemini-2.5-flash")

# Mistral
define_agent(name="Agent", model="mistral/mistral-large-latest")
Set the corresponding API key in your .env file (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, etc.).

​
Builtin Tools

OpenAI models support provider-hosted tools out of the box: 
define_agent(
    name="Researcher",
    model="gpt-5.2",
    builtin_tools=["web_search", "code_interpreter"],
)
Available builtin tools:
  • web_search — Search the web for information
  • code_interpreter — Execute Python code in a sandboxed environment
  • file_search — Search uploaded files using vector embeddings
  • image_generation — Generate images from text descriptions
Builtin tools are only supported with OpenAI models. If you use a non-OpenAI model, these tools will be automatically disabled with a warning.

​
Reasoning Models

Configure reasoning effort for o-series and gpt-5+ models: 
define_agent(
    name="Analyst",
    model="o3",
    reasoning_effort="high",
)
Supported reasoning effort levels: none, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh.

​
Production Server

Serve your agent with a chat UI and REST API: 
klisk serve my-agent
This starts a production server with:
  • Chat UI at http://localhost:8080
  • REST API at /api/chat (streaming supported)
  • WebSocket endpoint at /ws/chat
  • Embeddable widget via /widget.js
  • Optional API key authentication via KLISK_API_KEY environment variable

​
One-Command Deployment

Deploy to Google Cloud Run in one command: 
klisk deploy init    # Generate Dockerfile and config
klisk deploy         # Deploy to Cloud Run

​
Why Klisk?

Klisk handles all the boilerplate — project scaffolding, hot reload, serving, deployment. You just write agent logic.
The interactive Studio lets you test and debug agents visually without writing test scripts or restarting servers.
Built on LiteLLM, Klisk supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and dozens of other providers with a unified API.
Built-in production server and one-command deployment mean you can go from prototype to production in minutes.

​
Architecture

Klisk is built on top of the OpenAI Agents SDK and uses:
  • LiteLLM for multi-provider LLM support
  • FastAPI for the production server
  • WebSockets for real-time chat streaming
  • Watchfiles for hot reload in development
Your project structure is simple and follows Python best practices: 
my-agent/
├── klisk.config.yaml    # Project configuration
├── .env                 # API keys and environment variables
└── src/
    ├── main.py          # Agent definition
    └── tools/           # Custom tools
        └── example.py
