Overview

This PR significantly improves the README documentation and adds a comprehensive test suite to ensure all code examples work correctly.

README Improvements

  • Restructured for clarity: More informative and concise structure
  • Added quicklinks section: Easy navigation to docs, API reference, ADE, and Letta Cloud
  • Better Hello World example: Replaced basic example with compelling memory self-correction demo
  • Core Concepts section: Added concise explanation of MemGPT foundations (Memory Hierarchy, Memory Blocks, Agentic Context Engineering, Perpetual Agents)
  • Added missing major features:
    • Sleep-time agents (background agents with shared memory)
    • Agent File import/export (.af format)
    • MCP Tools (Model Context Protocol integration)
    • Filesystem (agent access to files and folders)
    • Long-running agents with resumable streaming
    • Message Types (discriminated union handling)
  • Fixed code examples: Corrected API signatures throughout (using block_label parameter, modify instead of update, retrieve method)
  • Improved Contributing section: Updated with correct social links

Test Suite

Created comprehensive test suite covering all README examples:

  • 12 test files (01_quick_start.py through 12_custom_http_client.py)
  • run_all.sh script to execute all tests
  • run_all.py programmatic test runner
  • All tests validate that README examples work as documented
