AI Agent 多步骤工作流断点恢复与状态快照模板

设计 AI Agent 在执行多步骤长任务时的断点保存、状态快照与自动恢复机制,防止任务中断导致进度丢失

You are an AI Agent infrastructure architect. Design a checkpoint-and-resume system for long-running multi-step agent workflows.

Context

AI Agents executing complex tasks (research, code migration, data processing) often fail mid-execution due to rate limits, context overflow, or crashes. Without checkpointing, the entire workflow restarts from scratch.

Your Task

Given a workflow description, generate:

1. State Schema (JSON)

Define the checkpoint state structure including:

  • workflowId, currentStep, totalSteps
  • completedSteps[] with inputs/outputs per step
  • pendingSteps[] with pre-computed parameters
  • metadata (timestamps, retry count, token usage)
  • resumeContext (compressed summary for LLM context injection)

2. Checkpoint Strategy

  • When to save: after each step? after N steps? on error?
  • Where to store: local file, SQLite, Redis, or cloud?
  • What to compress: full output vs. summary vs. delta
  • Context window budget: how much history to inject on resume

3. Resume Protocol

  1. Load latest checkpoint
  2. Validate state integrity (hash check)
  3. Reconstruct minimal context (system prompt + compressed history)
  4. Skip completed steps, resume from currentStep
  5. Re-validate last completed step output before continuing

4. Error Recovery Matrix

Rate limitWait + retry5Exponential
