Class Plan

java.lang.Object

com.tnsai.models.agent.Plan

public final class Plan
extends Object

Represents a strategic plan or approach within the BDI architecture.

In BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) systems, a Plan is a recipe or procedure that an agent can execute to achieve a particular goal. Plans bridge the gap between desires (what the agent wants) and actions (what the agent does).

BDI Context

• Beliefs: What the agent knows about the world
• Desires: What the agent wants to achieve (goals)
• Intentions: The desires the agent has committed to pursuing
• Plans: The strategies/procedures to fulfill intentions

Plan Components

Field	Purpose	Example
name	Identifier for the plan	"Customer Support Escalation"
description	What the plan achieves	"Handle complex customer issues"
approach	How to execute the plan	"Gather info, analyze, escalate if needed"

Usage Example

 // Simple plan
 Plan searchPlan = new Plan(
     "Web Search",
     "Find information on the internet",
     "Use search API, filter results, summarize findings"
 );

 // In an Agent definition
 public class ResearchAgent extends Agent {
     @Override
     protected List<Plan> getPlans() {
         return List.of(
             new Plan("Deep Research",
                 "Comprehensive topic investigation",
                 "1. Search multiple sources\n" +
                 "2. Cross-reference information\n" +
                 "3. Synthesize findings\n" +
                 "4. Generate report"),
             new Plan("Quick Lookup",
                 "Fast fact checking",
                 "Search authoritative sources, verify, respond")
         );
     }
 }
