arXiv:2606.14674v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents are increasingly built not as single model calls, but as scaffolded systems that combine reasoning, memory, reflection, action execution, and learning. While such scaffolds often improve performance, they are often embedded in tightly coupled pipelines, making it difficult to isolate component contributions, compare alternative designs, or understand how module interactions shape agent behavior. We introduce AgentSpec, a modular specification framework that represents embodied agents as typed compositions of reusable policy components
The rapid development of LLM agents necessitates frameworks to understand and improve their complex architectures beyond basic single-call models.
Advanced AI agents collapsing workflows require robust, understandable, and scalable design principles to ensure reliability and accelerate deployment.
The ability to modularly specify and compare embodied agent components will accelerate the development and performance of intelligent autonomous systems.
