    .WithModel(model)
    .WithIdentity(
        persona: "Financial Advisor",
        instruction: "Provide general financial education and guidance. " +
                     "Always recommend consulting a licensed professional " +
                     "for specific financial decisions."
    )
    .Build();

Sets the agent's identity from an existing AgentIdentity instance.

public AgentBuilder WithIdentity(AgentIdentity identity)

Parameters

identity AgentIdentity

The identity to use.

Returns

AgentBuilder

This builder instance for method chaining.

Examples

Using a shared identity:

using LMKit.Model;
using LMKit.Agents;

// Define a reusable identity
var supportIdentity = new AgentIdentity(
    persona: "Customer Support Agent",
    instruction: "Help customers resolve issues. Be patient and thorough."
);

using var model = new LM("path/to/model.gguf");

// Create multiple agents with the same identity
var agent1 = new AgentBuilder()
    .WithModel(model)
    .WithIdentity(supportIdentity)
    .Build();

var agent2 = new AgentBuilder()
    .WithModel(model)
    .WithIdentity(supportIdentity)
    .WithPlanning(PlanningStrategy.ChainOfThought)
    .Build();

Remarks

Use this overload when you have a pre-configured identity or want to share identity definitions across multiple agents.
