Enables the transfer of an AI agent's accumulated knowledge, goals, and task states between the CrewAI framework and other agent platforms.
Allows exporting and importing agent cognitive state, including conversation history and working memory, to enable migration between LangGraph and other supported frameworks.
Supports exporting and importing cognitive states for OpenAI Agents, preserving knowledge such as conversation history and tool results.
StateWeave is a cross-framework cognitive state serializer for AI agents. It lets agents migrate between LangGraph, MCP, CrewAI, AutoGen, DSPy, LlamaIndex, OpenAI Agents, Haystack, Letta, and Semantic Kernel while preserving their accumulated knowledge — conversation history, working memory, goals, tool results, and trust parameters.
No more rebuilding agent state from scratch when switching frameworks. No more vendor lock-in for your agent's brain.
Why StateWeave?
Every time you move an agent between frameworks, you lose everything it learned. StateWeave solves this with a Universal Schema — a canonical representation of agent cognitive state that all frameworks translate to and from. One schema, N adapters, zero data loss (with explicit warnings for anything non-portable).

The Universal Schema
Every agent's state is represented as a StateWeavePayload:
StateWeavePayload(
stateweave_version="0.3.0",
source_framework="langgraph",
exported_at=datetime,
cognitive_state=CognitiveState(
conversation_history=[...], # Full message history
working_memory={...}, # Current task state
goal_tree={...}, # Active goals
tool_results_cache={...}, # Cached tool outputs
trust_parameters={...}, # Confidence scores
long_term_memory={...}, # Persistent knowledge
episodic_memory=[...], # Past experiences
),
metadata=AgentMetadata(
agent_id="my-agent",
access_policy="private",
),
audit_trail=[...], # Full operation history
non_portable_warnings=[...], # Explicit data loss docs
)Security
AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption with unique nonce per operation
PBKDF2 key derivation (600K iterations, OWASP recommended)
Ed25519 payload signing — digital signatures verify sender identity and detect tampering
Credential stripping — API keys, tokens, and passwords are flagged as non-portable and stripped during export
Non-portable warnings — every piece of state that can't fully transfer is explicitly documented (no silent data loss)
Associated data — encrypt with AAD to bind ciphertext to specific agent metadata
Payload Signing
from stateweave import EncryptionFacade
# Generate a signing key pair
private_key, public_key = EncryptionFacade.generate_signing_keypair()
# Sign serialized payload
signature = EncryptionFacade.sign(payload_bytes, private_key)
# Verify on receipt
is_authentic = EncryptionFacade.verify(payload_bytes, signature, public_key)Delta State Transport
For large state payloads, send only the changes:
from stateweave.core.delta import create_delta, apply_delta
# Create delta: only the differences
delta = create_delta(old_payload, new_payload)
# Apply delta on the receiver side
updated = apply_delta(base_payload, delta)Agent Time Travel
Version, checkpoint, rollback, and branch agent cognitive state:
from stateweave.core.timetravel import CheckpointStore
store = CheckpointStore()
# Save a checkpoint
store.checkpoint(payload, label="before-experiment")
# View history
print(store.format_history("my-agent"))
# Roll back to a previous version
restored = store.rollback("my-agent", version=3)
# Branch from a checkpoint
store.branch("my-agent", version=3, new_agent_id="my-agent-experiment")
# Diff two versions
diff = store.diff_versions("my-agent", version_a=1, version_b=5)
print(diff.to_report())Content-addressable storage (SHA-256), parent hash chains, delta compression between versions.
A2A Bridge
Bridge between the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol and StateWeave. A2A defines how agents communicate — StateWeave adds what agents know:
from stateweave.a2a import A2ABridge
bridge = A2ABridge()
# Package state for A2A handoff
artifact = bridge.create_transfer_artifact(payload)
# Extract state from received A2A message
extracted = bridge.extract_payload(a2a_message_parts)
# Generate AgentCard skill for capability advertisement
caps = bridge.get_agent_capabilities()
skill = caps.to_agent_card_skill()State Merge (CRDT Foundation)
Merge state from parallel agents:
from stateweave.core.merge import merge_payloads, ConflictResolutionPolicy
result = merge_payloads(
agent_a_state, agent_b_state,
policy=ConflictResolutionPolicy.LAST_WRITER_WINS,
)
merged_payload = result.payloadNon-Portable State
Not everything can transfer between frameworks. StateWeave handles this honestly:
Category | Example | Behavior |
DB connections |
| ⚠️ Stripped, warning emitted |
Credentials |
| 🔴 Stripped, CRITICAL warning |
Framework internals | LangGraph | ⚠️ Stripped, warning emitted |
Thread/async state |
| ⚠️ Stripped, warning emitted |
Live connections | Network sockets, file handles | ⚠️ Stripped, warning emitted |
All non-portable elements appear in payload.non_portable_warnings[] with severity, reason, and remediation guidance.
Building a Custom Adapter
Extend StateWeaveAdapter to add support for any framework:
from stateweave.adapters.base import StateWeaveAdapter
from stateweave.schema.v1 import StateWeavePayload, AgentInfo
class MyFrameworkAdapter(StateWeaveAdapter):
@property
def framework_name(self) -> str:
return "my-framework"
def export_state(self, agent_id: str, **kwargs) -> StateWeavePayload:
# Translate your framework's state → Universal Schema
...
def import_state(self, payload: StateWeavePayload, **kwargs):
# Translate Universal Schema → your framework's state
...
def list_agents(self) -> list[AgentInfo]:
# Return available agents
...The UCE adapter_contract scanner automatically validates that all adapters correctly implement the ABC.
CLI
# Show version and available adapters
stateweave version
# Dump the Universal Schema as JSON Schema
stateweave schema -o schema.json
# Validate a payload file
stateweave validate state.json
# Export/import/diff
stateweave export -f langgraph -a my-agent -o state.json
stateweave import -f mcp --payload state.json
stateweave diff before.json after.json
# Auto-detect source framework
stateweave detect state.json
# Scan environment for installed frameworks
stateweave scan
# Time travel — checkpoint, history, rollback
stateweave checkpoint state.json --label "before-experiment"
stateweave history my-agent
stateweave rollback my-agent 3 -o restored.json
# Run diagnostic health checks
stateweave doctor
# List all available adapters
stateweave adapters
# Scaffold a new adapter
stateweave generate-adapter my-framework --output-dir ./adaptersCompliance (UCE)
StateWeave enforces its own architectural standards via the Universal Compliance Engine — 10 automated scanners that run on every commit:
Scanner | What It Checks | Mode |
| Universal Schema models have required fields | BLOCK |
| All adapters implement the full ABC | BLOCK |
| No raw pickle/json.dumps outside serializer | BLOCK |
| All crypto goes through EncryptionFacade | BLOCK |
| MCP server has all required tools | BLOCK |
| No cross-layer imports | BLOCK |
| All loggers use | BLOCK |
| Minimum test file coverage ratio | BLOCK |
| No orphan files outside MANIFEST | WARN |
| No circular imports | BLOCK |

python scripts/uce.py --mode=CI --jsonWhy Not Just Serialize to JSON Yourself?
You could — and it'll work for one framework. Here's what you'd have to build:
Problem | DIY JSON | StateWeave |
Map LangGraph's | Write it yourself for each pair | Handled by adapters |
Detect credentials in state (API keys, OAuth tokens) | Easy to miss → leaked secrets | Auto-stripped with warnings |
Validate state structure after migration | Write your own schema checks | Pydantic models + UCE scanners |
Track what was lost during migration | Hope you remember |
|
Encrypt state for transport | DIY crypto (dangerous) | AES-256-GCM + Ed25519 |
Roll back if migration goes wrong | No undo |
|
Support 10 frameworks | 90 translation pairs (N²) | 10 adapters (N) |
StateWeave exists because the translation layer between frameworks is boring, error-prone work that every team rebuilds. We built it once.

We welcome contributions! The highest-impact way to contribute is building a new framework adapter. See Building a Custom Adapter above.
