The
langgraph.prebuilt.create_react_agentimport and itsprompt=argument were officially deprecated in LangGraph(November 2025). The recommended and maintained path forward is nowlangchain.agents.create_agent.This PR updates the primary quickstart example in the README to:
from langchain.agents import create_agentprompt=with correctsystem_prompt=The example remains functionally identical (still prints "It's always sunny in sf!") but now reflects current best practices and works out-of-the-box with the latest versions of
langchainandlanggraph.
