Installation

npm install @backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise @backendkit-labs/agent-core

For the full web stack:

npm install @backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise @backendkit-labs/agent-core @backendkit-labs/agent-web

Quick start

import { createEnterpriseSetup } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise';
import { ProviderRegistry } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-core';
import { AgentServer } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-web';

// 1. Configure your LLM providers
const providers = new ProviderRegistry();
providers.register('openai', myOpenAIProvider);

// 2. Create the enterprise setup
const enterprise = createEnterpriseSetup({
  vaultPath:       '/shared/obsidian-vault',
  providers,
  defaultProvider: 'openai',
});

// 3. Index the vault (once at startup — subsequent runs only re-index changed files)
await enterprise.indexAll({ verbose: true });

// 4. Start the web server
const server = new AgentServer({
  port:          3000,
  engineFactory: enterprise.engineFactory,
  cors:          '*',
});

await server.start();

createEnterpriseSetup

The main factory. Returns { indexAll, engineFactory }.

Options

interface EnterpriseSetupOptions {
  // Required
  vaultPath:       string;           // absolute path to the Obsidian vault
  providers:       ProviderRegistry;
  defaultProvider: string;           // provider ID used when no per-agent override is set

  // Optional
  indexDir?:       string;           // where to store index files
                                     // default: ~/.bk-agent/rag/enterprise/
  embedder?:       Embedder;         // custom embedder, default: SimpleEmbedder
  sessionsDir?:    string;           // per-session memory dir
                                     // default: ~/.bk-agent/sessions/
  extraProfiles?:  AgentProfile[];   // add custom agent profiles alongside the 6 defaults
  maxIterations?:  number;           // per-engine run limit, default: 20
}

Return value

interface EnterpriseSetup {
  // Call once at startup (or periodically to pick up new vault notes)
  indexAll(opts?: { verbose?: boolean }): Promise<void>;

  // Compatible with AgentServer's engineFactory option
  engineFactory: (sessionId: string, transport: Transport) => AgentEngine;
}

What gets created per session

Each call to engineFactory assembles a fresh, isolated AgentEngine with:

• One ObsidianRAGProvider per department scoped to that department's vault folders
• One global ObsidianRAGProvider for the General agent (all vault folders)
• A shared VaultWriter for persisting knowledge back to the vault
• All six enterprise AgentProfiles plus any extraProfiles
• Per-session episodic, semantic, and procedural MemorySystem stored in sessionsDir/<sessionId>/

Enterprise agent profiles

Six department profiles are built in. Each has a system prompt, a scoped RAG tool, and an optional provider override for on-prem data isolation.

| Profile ID | Agent Name | RAG tool | Default provider | |-----------|-----------|----------|-----------------| | general | General Assistant | search_kb (global vault) | defaultProvider | | support | Support Agent | search_support_kb | defaultProvider | | hr | HR Agent | search_hr_kb | local (sensitive) | | sales | Sales Agent | search_sales_kb | defaultProvider | | finance | Finance Agent | search_finance_kb | local (sensitive) | | ops | Operations Agent | search_ops_kb | defaultProvider |

HR and Finance default to the local provider so sensitive payroll and financial data never leaves your network.

Using profiles individually

import {
  GENERAL_PROFILE,
  SUPPORT_PROFILE,
  HR_PROFILE,
  SALES_PROFILE,
  FINANCE_PROFILE,
  OPS_PROFILE,
  ALL_ENTERPRISE_PROFILES,
  ENTERPRISE_TOOLS,
  VAULT_FOLDERS,
} from '@backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise';

// Register only the profiles you need
const agents = new AgentRegistry();
agents.register(GENERAL_PROFILE);
agents.register(SUPPORT_PROFILE);
agents.register({ ...HR_PROFILE, provider: 'ollama' });      // force on-prem
agents.register({ ...FINANCE_PROFILE, provider: 'ollama' }); // force on-prem

// Tool name constants
ENTERPRISE_TOOLS.SEARCH_KB;       // 'search_kb'
ENTERPRISE_TOOLS.SEARCH_SUPPORT;  // 'search_support_kb'
ENTERPRISE_TOOLS.SEARCH_HR;       // 'search_hr_kb'
ENTERPRISE_TOOLS.SEARCH_SALES;    // 'search_sales_kb'
ENTERPRISE_TOOLS.SEARCH_FINANCE;  // 'search_finance_kb'
ENTERPRISE_TOOLS.SEARCH_OPS;      // 'search_ops_kb'

// Vault folder name constants
VAULT_FOLDERS.GENERAL;     // 'General'
VAULT_FOLDERS.SUPPORT;     // 'Support'
VAULT_FOLDERS.HR;          // 'HR'
VAULT_FOLDERS.SALES;       // 'Sales'
VAULT_FOLDERS.FINANCE;     // 'Finance'
VAULT_FOLDERS.OPS;         // 'Operations'

Adding custom profiles

const enterprise = createEnterpriseSetup({
  ...opts,
  extraProfiles: [
    {
      id:           'legal',
      name:         'Legal Advisor',
      systemPrompt: `You are a legal knowledge assistant.
        Search the knowledge base for relevant precedents and policies.
        Always recommend consulting a licensed attorney for case-specific advice.`,
      tools:        ['search_kb'],
      provider:     'local',  // sensitive — stays on-prem
    },
    {
      id:           'engineering',
      name:         'Engineering Assistant',
      systemPrompt: 'You are a software engineering assistant with access to our internal technical documentation.',
      tools:        ['search_kb', 'write_vault'],
    },
  ],
});

RAG pipeline

The RAG pipeline works in two phases: indexing and search.

Indexing phase

At startup, indexAll() walks each vault folder, chunks the markdown files, embeds each chunk with the configured embedder, and saves the index to disk as JSON.

// Full or incremental re-index (skips unchanged files)
await enterprise.indexAll({ verbose: true });
// [VaultIndexer] Indexed 142 files, 1,847 chunks in 4.2s (38 skipped, unchanged)

Search phase

When an agent's RAG tool is called, it performs cosine-similarity search over the pre-built index and injects the top-K chunks as context into the LLM prompt:

User: "What is our parental leave policy?"
  → HR agent selected
  → search_hr_kb("parental leave policy")
  → Top 5 chunks from HR/ and General/ folders returned
  → LLM answers using the retrieved excerpts as grounding context

VaultIndexer

Use VaultIndexer directly for fine-grained control over indexing.

import { VaultIndexer } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise';

const indexer = new VaultIndexer({
  vaultPath:    '/shared/obsidian-vault',
  indexPath:    '/cache/support-index.json',
  embedder:     myEmbedder,
  folders:      ['Support', 'General'],  // only index these folders (omit for all)
  chunkSize:    500,                     // tokens per chunk
  chunkOverlap: 50,                      // overlap between adjacent chunks
});

await indexer.index({ verbose: true });

const stats = indexer.getStats();
// { files: 42, chunks: 587, lastIndexedAt: '2026-06-11T09:00:00.000Z' }

Incremental re-indexing

The indexer tracks file modification times. Re-running index() only processes changed or new files:

// First run — full index (may take seconds to minutes depending on vault size)
await indexer.index({ verbose: true });

// Subsequent runs — only re-indexes changed files (very fast)
await indexer.index({ verbose: true });
// [VaultIndexer] 3 files changed, re-indexed 28 chunks

VaultWriter

VaultWriter lets agents persist knowledge back to the Obsidian vault — closing the knowledge loop.

import { VaultWriter } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise';

const writer = new VaultWriter({
  vaultPath:      '/shared/obsidian-vault',
  allowedFolders: ['General', 'Support'],  // restrict where agents can write
});

// Create a ToolDefinition the engine can call
const writeTool = writer.createTool('general'); // 'write_vault' tool

// Write directly (from non-agent code)
await writer.writeNote({
  folder:   'General',
  filename: 'api-auth-pattern.md',
  content:  '# API Auth Pattern\n\nAll endpoints require a Bearer token...',
  tags:     ['api', 'patterns', 'security'],
});

How agents use VaultWriter

Agents with write_vault in their tool list can invoke it directly in conversation:

User: "Document the new API authentication pattern we agreed on"
  → General agent
  → LLM calls write_vault({
      folder: "General",
      filename: "api-auth-2026.md",
      content: "# API Auth Pattern\n\n..."
    })
  → File created/updated in the vault
  → LLM: "I've documented the auth pattern in General/api-auth-2026.md"

Embedders

Embedders convert text strings into float vectors for similarity search.

SimpleEmbedder (default — no external dependencies)

A deterministic, hash-based embedder. Requires no API key or running service. Lower accuracy than neural models but always available and zero-latency:

import { SimpleEmbedder } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise';

const embedder = new SimpleEmbedder();
// Good for: prototyping, CI/CD, air-gapped systems, and fallback

OllamaEmbedder (recommended for production)

Uses a local Ollama embedding model for high-quality semantic embeddings. Requires a running Ollama instance with an embedding model installed:

ollama pull nomic-embed-text    # 274 MB — general purpose, fast
ollama pull mxbai-embed-large   # 669 MB — higher accuracy

import { OllamaEmbedder, OLLAMA_EMBED_DEFAULT_HOST, OLLAMA_EMBED_DEFAULT_MODEL } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise';

const embedder = new OllamaEmbedder({
  host:  'http://localhost:11434',  // default: OLLAMA_EMBED_DEFAULT_HOST
  model: 'nomic-embed-text',        // default: OLLAMA_EMBED_DEFAULT_MODEL
});

const enterprise = createEnterpriseSetup({
  vaultPath:       '/vault',
  providers,
  defaultProvider: 'local',
  embedder,
});

Custom embedder (OpenAI, Cohere, Hugging Face, etc.)

import type { Embedder } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise';

class OpenAIEmbedder implements Embedder {
  async embed(texts: string[]): Promise<number[][]> {
    const res = await openai.embeddings.create({
      model: 'text-embedding-3-small',
      input: texts,
    });
    return res.data.map(d => d.embedding);
  }
}

const enterprise = createEnterpriseSetup({
  ...opts,
  embedder: new OpenAIEmbedder(),
});

ObsidianRAGProvider

Combines VaultIndexer + VectorStore in one class with a search API and a tool factory. Use it directly for custom RAG configurations.

import { ObsidianRAGProvider } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise';

const rag = new ObsidianRAGProvider({
  vaultPath: '/shared/obsidian-vault',
  indexPath: '/cache/support-index.json',
  embedder:  new OllamaEmbedder({ model: 'nomic-embed-text' }),
  folders:   ['Support', 'General'],
  topK:       5,      // return top 5 results
  minScore:   0.15,   // discard results below this similarity threshold
});

// Index the vault
await rag.index({ verbose: true });

// Search
const results = await rag.search('How do I reset my password?');
// [
//   { content: "To reset your password...", score: 0.82, source: "Support/password-reset.md" },
//   { content: "Users can request a reset...", score: 0.71, source: "General/user-guide.md" },
// ]

// Create a typed ToolDefinition for the engine
const searchTool = rag.createTool('search_support_kb');
// → ToolDefinition with name 'search_support_kb' that calls rag.search()

VectorStore

Low-level cosine-similarity search engine. Use it when you have your own embedding pipeline.

import { VectorStore } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise';
import type { VectorChunk, SearchResult } from '@backendkit-labs/agent-enterprise';

const store = new VectorStore();

// Add pre-embedded chunks
store.add([
  { id: 'c1', content: 'Password reset procedure...', embedding: [...512 floats...], source: 'support.md' },
  { id: 'c2', content: 'Password policy requires...', embedding: [...512 floats...], source: 'policy.md' },
]);

// Search by query embedding
const queryEmbeddings = await embedder.embed(['reset password steps']);
const results: SearchResult[] = store.search(queryEmbeddings[0], { topK: 3, minScore: 0.1 });

// Persist index to disk
store.saveToFile('/cache/my-index.json');

// Load from disk (on restart)
const loaded = VectorStore.loadFromFile('/cache/my-index.json');
