+- **Key example directories**:
+  - `/examples/python/` - Main Python examples
+  - `/examples/context/` - Context management examples

+  - `/docs/guides/` - User guides
+  - `/docs/examples/` - Example documentation
+
+## 4. Agent API Signature (Current)
+
+The Agent class uses a consolidated API pattern. Key parameters:
+
+```python
+class Agent:
+    def __init__(
+        self,
+        name: str = "Agent",
+        role: str = "Assistant",
+        goal: str = "Help the user",
+        backstory: str = "",
+        instructions: str = "",
+        llm: Optional[str] = None,
+        tools: Optional[List] = None,
+        
+        # Consolidated feature params (Instance > Config > String > Bool > Default)
+        memory: Optional[Any] = None,      # bool | str | MemoryConfig | Memory instance
+        knowledge: Optional[Any] = None,   # bool | str | KnowledgeConfig | Knowledge instance
+        output: Optional[Any] = None,      # bool | str | OutputConfig
+        execution: Optional[Any] = None,   # bool | str | ExecutionConfig
+        guardrails: Optional[Any] = None,  # bool | str | GuardrailConfig | List
+        context: Optional[Any] = None,     # bool | str | ContextConfig
+        
+        # Other params
+        verbose: bool = False,
+        markdown: bool = True,
+        self_reflect: bool = False,
+        max_reflect: int = 3,
+        min_reflect: int = 1,
+        ...
+    )

+| 2026-01-09 | Workflow markdown parser fixed | ✅ Complete |
+
+## 7. Final Verification (2026-01-09)
+
+```
+=== AGENT API VERIFICATION ===
+✅ Agent class has consolidated params: memory, knowledge, planning, reflection, guardrails, web, context, autonomy, output, execution, caching, hooks, skills
+✅ Agent follows Instance > Config > String > Bool > Default precedence
+✅ Agent creation with consolidated params works correctly
+```
+
+## 8. Notes
+
+The Agent class already uses a well-designed consolidated API pattern:
+- All feature params support: `False` (disabled), `True` (defaults), `Config` (custom)
+- Precedence: Instance > Config > String > Bool > Default
+- Agent-centric imports: `from praisonaiagents import Agent`
+
+No legacy patterns found in examples or docs that require updating.

+Workflow Configuration Classes for PraisonAI Agents.

+Provides dataclasses for consolidated workflow feature configuration:
+- WorkflowOutputConfig: Output and verbosity settings

+- WorkflowHooksConfig: Workflow lifecycle callbacks
+- WorkflowStepContextConfig: Step context settings
+- WorkflowStepOutputConfig: Step output settings
