Key Features

1. Multi-Algorithm Support

All 9 AgentDB RL algorithms accessible via simple API:

// Switch algorithms at runtime
await trainer.switchAlgorithm('ppo');
await trainer.switchAlgorithm('actor-critic');
await trainer.switchAlgorithm('decision-transformer');

// Train with specific algorithm
await trainer.train(experiences, 'sac');

// Predict with specific algorithm
await trainer.predictAction(state, 'ddpg');

2. Automatic Experience Collection

class MyAgent extends BaseAgent {
  private neuralExt: NeuralAgentExtension;

  protected async onPostTask(data: PostTaskData) {
    await super.onPostTask(data);
    // Automatic experience collection with reward calculation
    await this.neuralExt.collectExperience(data);
  }
}

3. Model Persistence

// Auto-save every N episodes
const trainer = new NeuralTrainer(id, memory, agentDB, {
  modelSaveInterval: 100,
  checkpointInterval: 500,
  maxCheckpoints: 5
});

// Manual save/load
await trainer.saveModel('my-model', './models');
const model = await trainer.loadModel('./models/my-model.json');

4. Training Pipeline

// Collect experiences during task execution
const experiences: Experience[] = [];
for (const task of tasks) {
  const { state, action, reward, nextState } = executeTask(task);
  experiences.push({ state, action, reward, nextState, done: true });
}

// Train with collected experiences
const result = await trainer.train(experiences);
console.log(`Loss: ${result.metrics.loss}, Episodes: ${result.episodeCount}`);

5. Action Prediction

// Predict best action from current state
const prediction = await trainer.predictAction({
  taskComplexity: 0.7,
  capabilities: ['test-generation'],
  resourceAvailability: 0.8
});

console.log(`Best action: ${prediction.action.type}`);
console.log(`Confidence: ${prediction.confidence}`);
console.log(`Q-Value: ${prediction.qValue}`);
console.log(`Alternatives:`, prediction.alternativeActions);

  private neuralExt: NeuralAgentExtension;

  constructor(config: BaseAgentConfig) {
    super(config);
    this.neuralExt = new NeuralAgentExtension(
      this.agentId.id,
      this.memoryStore as SwarmMemoryManager,
      this.agentDB!,
      { algorithm: 'ppo', learningRate: 0.001 },
      { enabled: true, autoTrain: true }
    );
  }

  protected async performTask(task: QETask): Promise<any> {
    // Get neural recommendation
    const state = this.extractState(task);
    const prediction = await this.neuralExt.predictAction(state);

    // Execute with recommended strategy
    const result = await this.generateTests(task, prediction.action);
    return result;
  }

  protected async onPostTask(data: PostTaskData) {
    await super.onPostTask(data);
    // Automatic learning
    await this.neuralExt.collectExperience(data);
  }
}

Example 2: Coverage Analyzer with Actor-Critic

class CoverageAnalyzerAgent extends BaseAgent {
  private neuralExt: NeuralAgentExtension;

  constructor(config: BaseAgentConfig) {
    super(config);
    this.neuralExt = new NeuralAgentExtension(
      this.agentId.id,
      this.memoryStore as SwarmMemoryManager,
      this.agentDB!,
      { algorithm: 'actor-critic' },
      { enabled: true, collectionInterval: 5 }
    );
  }

  protected async performTask(task: QETask): Promise<any> {
    // Analyze coverage with neural-guided strategy
    const prediction = await this.neuralExt.predictAction({
      taskComplexity: 0.6,
      capabilities: ['coverage-analysis']
    });

    // Use predicted strategy for gap detection
    const gaps = await this.detectGaps(task, prediction.action);
    return gaps;
  }
}

Example 3: Multi-Algorithm Ensemble

const trainer = new NeuralTrainer(id, memory, agentDB);

// Train with multiple algorithms
const algorithms: RLAlgorithm[] = ['q-learning', 'ppo', 'sac'];
const predictions: PredictionResult[] = [];

for (const algo of algorithms) {
  const pred = await trainer.predictAction(state, algo);
  predictions.push(pred);
}

// Ensemble voting
const bestPrediction = predictions.reduce((best, pred) =>
  pred.confidence > best.confidence ? pred : best
);

// Or weighted average
const ensembleAction = weightedAverage(predictions);
