Migrate Python LangChain Deep Agents applications to Pydantic AI and Pydantic AI Harness. Use when the source uses the upstream `deepagents` package or demonstrably reproduces its middleware, backends, skills, memory, subagents, or sandbox contracts. Use `migrating-langchain-to-pydantic-ai` for plain LangChain, LangGraph, or LCEL migrations and `pydantic-ai-harness` for greenfield Harness usage.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Migrate Deep Agents to Pydantic AI Harness

Preserve the application's observed contracts, not the shape of `create_deep_agent`. Compose Pydantic AI primitives and Harness capabilities; keep infrastructure with the application that already owns it.

## Establish the source contract

1. Resolve the `deepagents` import origin before applying these mappings. Route a local module or project-owned `create_deep_agent` to the ordinary LangChain migration only when its implementation has ordinary LangChain or LangGraph semantics; vendored implementations that reproduce Deep Agents contracts remain in scope. Read repository instructions, manifests, lockfiles, tests, runtime entrypoints, and the resolved source. Record exact Deep Agents, LangChain, LangGraph, Pydantic AI, and Harness versions.
   If the locked source is unavailable, reproduce its environment without changing the target lockfile. If that is not possible, mark affected behavior unverified and do not claim parity.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pydantic/pydantic-ai-harness/migrating-deep-agents-to-pydantic-ai-harness@sha256:21a58bbcc65d9470

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.ea12b7f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
