Integrations Overview

ACE provides both runners and step-based integrations for popular agentic frameworks. Some integrations are full runners, while others are composable pipeline steps you can drop into a custom Pipeline.

Available Integrations

The Pattern

All integration runners follow the same three-step pattern:

1. INJECT   — Add skillbook strategies to the agent's context
2. EXECUTE  — Run the external agent normally
3. LEARN    — Reflector + SkillManager update the skillbook

Quick Construction

Every runner offers a from_model() factory that builds ACE roles automatically:

from ace import BrowserUse, LangChain, ClaudeCode

# Browser automation
browser = BrowserUse.from_model(browser_llm=my_llm, ace_model="gpt-4o-mini")

# LangChain chain/agent
chain = LangChain.from_model(my_runnable, ace_model="gpt-4o-mini")

# Claude Code CLI
coder = ClaudeCode.from_model(working_dir="./project", ace_model="gpt-4o-mini")

For direct Anthropic API usage without a runner, compose the SDK steps directly:

from ace import Pipeline, Reflector, SkillManager, Skillbook, learning_tail
from ace.integrations import ClaudeSDKExecuteStep, ClaudeSDKToTrace

skillbook = Skillbook()
pipe = Pipeline([
    ClaudeSDKExecuteStep(model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514"),
    ClaudeSDKToTrace(),
    *learning_tail(Reflector("gpt-4o-mini"), SkillManager("gpt-4o-mini"), skillbook),
])

Shared Features

All runners share these capabilities:

• Skillbook persistence — save() / load via skillbook_path
• Checkpointing — automatic saves during long runs
• Deduplication — prevent duplicate skills
• Background learning — wait=False for async learning
• Progress tracking — learning_stats property

Which Integration Should I Use?

• Building a Q&A or reasoning agent? Use ACELiteLLM
• Have an existing LangChain chain or agent? Use LangChain
• Automating browser tasks? Use BrowserUse
• Running coding tasks with Claude Code? Use ClaudeCode
• Calling Anthropic directly from your own pipeline? Use Claude SDK
• Want to monitor costs and traces? Add Opik
• Learning from OpenClaw session transcripts? Use OpenClaw
• Exposing ACE as an MCP tool provider? Use the MCP Server and the MCP Client Setup guide
• Want to send traces to Kayba from your code? Use Tracing
• Want to use the hosted API instead of running locally? Use the Hosted API CLI
• Using a different framework? See the Integration Guide to build a custom runner
