# Claw-R1: Step-Level Data Middleware for Agentic RL

Interactive data middleware system that connects heterogeneous agent runtimes with RL training backends, treating agent interaction traces as managed data assets.

## Architecture

### Gateway Server
```python
class AgentGatewayServer:
    def __init__(self, unified_api_entry):
        self.api_entry = unified_api_entry
        self.step_capture = StepCaptureEngine()
    
    def capture_step(self, request):
        # Intercept agent-environment interactions
        prompt_id = request['prompt_id']
        response_id = generate_response_id()
        
        # Capture multi-turn step
        step_record = {
            'prompt_id': prompt_id,
            'response_id': response_id,
            'action': request['action'],
            'state': request['state'],
            'timestamp': time.now()
        }
        return step_record
```

### Data Pool Organization
```python
class AgentDataPool:
    def __init__(self, storage_backend):
        self.pool = storage_backend
    
    def organize_step_record(self, step):
        # Create step-level record
        record = StepLevelRecord(
            prompt_id=step['prompt_id'],
            response_id=step['response_id'],
            reward=step['reward'],
            metadata=step['metadata'],
            readiness=compute_readiness(step)
        )
        self.pool.store(record)
    
    def curate_by_quality(self, quality_threshold):
        # Filter steps by quality metrics
        return self.pool.query(quality > quality_threshold)
    
    def configure_training_batch(self, batch_spec):
        # Prepare training-ready batches for downstream RL
        curated = self.curate_by_quality(batch_spec['quality'])
        return batch(curated, batch_spec['size'])
```

### Interactive Inspection
```python
def inspect_trajectory(data_pool, trajectory_id):
    # Interactive visualization of agent trajectory
    steps = data_pool.get_trajectory(trajectory_id)
    
    for step in steps:
        print(f"State: {step.state}")
        print(f"Action: {step.action}")
        print(f"Reward: {step.reward}")
        print(f"Metadata: {step.metadata}")
```

## Key Concepts

1. **Step-Level Records**: Fine-grained capture of each agent-environment interaction
2. **Managed Data Assets**: Treat traces as persistent data, not ephemeral logs
3. **Quality Curation**: Filter data by quality and readiness metrics
4. **Training-Ready Batches**: Configure data for different downstream RL algorithms

## When to Use

- Agentic RL training pipelines
- OpenAI-compatible agent runtimes
- Multi-turn conversation agents
- Post-training for LLM agents

## Activation Triggers

- `agentic RL data`, `step-level middleware`, `agent trajectory management`, `Claw-R1`, `LLM agent training`
