Quick Start

Get up and running with Tarko in just a few minutes.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • npm or pnpm

Installation

Create a New Agent (WIP)

🚧 Work in Progress: The fastest way to get started will be using the Tarko CLI:

bash
npm create tarko  # Coming soon

Install Tarko Packages

For now, install the core packages manually:

bash
npm install @tarko/agent

Basic Usage

1. Define Your Agent

Create an agent.ts file based on the real examples:

typescript
// From multimodal/tarko/agent/examples/tool-calls/basic.ts
import { Agent, Tool, z, LogLevel } from '@tarko/agent';

const locationTool = new Tool({
  id: 'getCurrentLocation',
  description: "Get user's current location",
  parameters: z.object({}),
  function: async () => {
    return { location: 'Boston' };
  },
});

const weatherTool = new Tool({
  id: 'getWeather',
  description: 'Get weather information for a specified location',
  parameters: z.object({
    location: z.string().describe('Location name, such as city name'),
  }),
  function: async (input) => {
    const { location } = input;
    return {
      location,
      temperature: '70°F (21°C)',
      condition: 'Sunny',
      precipitation: '10%',
      humidity: '45%',
      wind: '5 mph',
    };
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  model: {
    provider: 'volcengine',
    id: 'doubao-seed-1-6-vision-250815',
    apiKey: process.env.ARK_API_KEY,
  },
  tools: [locationTool, weatherTool],
  logLevel: LogLevel.DEBUG,
});

export default agent;

2. Run Your Agent

Run your agent directly:

typescript
// Run the agent
const response = await agent.run("How's the weather today?");
console.log(response);

3. Streaming Example

For streaming responses:

typescript
// From multimodal/tarko/agent/examples/streaming/tool-calls.ts
const response = await agent.run({
  input: "How's the weather today?",
  stream: true,
});

for await (const chunk of response) {
  console.log(chunk);
}

Environment Variables

Create a .env file with your API keys:

bash
# .env file
ARK_API_KEY=your-volcengine-api-key
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-api-key
