Scaffold a minimal local LangChain agent in TypeScript by following the official quickstart. Use when the user wants to quickly build or try a LangChain agent…

LangChain TypeScript quickstart

Follow the live docs — do not invent an alternate API from memory:

https://docs.langchain.com/oss/javascript/langchain/quickstart

Fetch that page (Docs MCP or HTTP) and implement what it shows (weather agent + createAgent). Requires Node 22+.

Local setup constraints

Apply these on top of the quickstart (they keep setup minimal and model-agnostic):

Ask which provider/model to use. Showcase that LangChain is model-agnostic. Suggested prompt:

Which model should this agent use? Pass a provider:model string — e.g. openai:gpt-5.5, anthropic:claude-sonnet-5, google-genai:gemini-2.5-flash-lite. Default if you're unsure: anthropic:claude-sonnet-5.

Swap the quickstart's model string for their choice (or the default).

Create a new directory (e.g. langchain-agent/) and do all work there — do not pollute the open project.
