Starter Kit - Ships with your template. You own it - modify freely.
Overview
The Starter Kit includes a collection of debug utilities designed to help you develop, test, and troubleshoot your Conductor applications. These utilities provide simple, predictable endpoints that help you verify routing, test middleware, inspect request context, and measure performance characteristics. Debug utilities are separated into two categories:- Debug Agents: Simple agents for testing agent-specific functionality
- Debug Ensembles: Ensemble endpoints for testing routing, headers, and request handling
Debug Agents
The following debug agents are included in the starter kit:Echo Agent
Returns the input message back to the caller, useful for verifying agent communication and message passing.Delay Agent
Introduces a configurable delay before responding, helpful for testing timeouts, async behavior, and loading states.Inspect Context Agent
Returns detailed information about the request context, including headers, parameters, and environment data. Essential for debugging context propagation.Debug Ensembles
The following debug ensemble endpoints are available:Ping
A minimal endpoint that returns a simple success response, perfect for health checks and connectivity testing.Echo
Returns the request body back to the caller, useful for verifying request serialization and deserialization.Headers
Returns all request headers, helpful for debugging authentication, CORS, and custom header handling.Info
Provides detailed information about the request including method, path, headers, and query parameters.Slow
Introduces artificial delays to simulate slow network conditions or long-running operations.When to Use
Debug utilities are intended for development and testing environments only. They provide valuable insights during development:- Verify routing and middleware configuration
- Test error handling and timeout behavior
- Inspect request/response flow
- Debug context propagation issues
- Measure performance characteristics
- Validate authentication and authorization
