skills/ai-sdk/SKILL.md
Answer questions about the AI SDK and help build AI-powered features. Use when developers: (1) Ask about AI SDK functions like generateText, streamText, ToolLoopAgent, or tools, (2) Want to build AI agents, chatbots, or text generation features, (3) Have questions about AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), streaming, tool calling, or structured output.

When you need up-to-date information about the AI SDK:
Search the bundled documentation and source code in node_modules/ai/:
grep "your query" node_modules/ai/docs/grep "your query" node_modules/ai/src/To find specific files:
glob "node_modules/ai/docs/**/*.mdx" for documentation filesglob "node_modules/ai/src/**/*.ts" for source filesProvider packages (@ai-sdk/openai, @ai-sdk/anthropic, etc.) also include bundled docs in their respective node_modules/@ai-sdk/<provider>/docs/ directories.
When in doubt, update to the latest version of the AI SDK.
https://ai-sdk.dev/api/search-docs?q=your_query.md.md URLs directly to get plain text content (e.g. https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/agents/building-agents.md)Use these resources for current API details, examples, and usage patterns.
For common errors and troubleshooting, see Common Errors Reference.
For using Vercel AI Gateway, see AI Gateway Reference.
For questions about specific providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.), search their dedicated packages:
grep "your query" node_modules/@ai-sdk/<provider>/docs/grep "your query" node_modules/@ai-sdk/<provider>/src/To find provider files:
glob "node_modules/@ai-sdk/<provider>/docs/**/*.mdx" for provider documentationglob "node_modules/@ai-sdk/<provider>/src/**/*.ts" for provider source filesThis is especially important for providerOptions, which are provider-specific settings passed to model calls. Each provider has unique options documented in their package.
development
Guides a founder through the full Y Combinator batch application end-to-end. A 10-phase workflow that captures the live YC form, profiles the founders, stress-tests the idea via an embedded grill loop, runs a mandatory 5-agent parallel external research pass on the startup, drafts every form field with anti-pattern and accepted-example checks, produces founder-video bullet notes (no script), runs a final adversarial gate, generates paste-ready submission answers, unlocks an interview-prep simulator after invite, and supports reapplicant delta tracking and post-decision post-mortems. Writes a documented markdown trail under a user-chosen workspace. Use when a founder wants to prepare a YC batch application, build their founder video, drill mock YC interview questions, or reapply with delta evidence. Don't use for pitch-deck design unrelated to YC, generic startup advice without applying, or post-funding work.
development
Authors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
tools
Provides guardrails for user-facing UI work: usability heuristics, accessibility floors, design-system discipline, component states, microcopy, motion, dark mode, responsive behavior, and human-AI UX. Use when designing, generating, reviewing, or refactoring visible product surfaces such as components, pages, dashboards, forms, dialogs, loading/empty/error states, or AI interfaces. Do not use for backend-only work, infrastructure, CLI/TUI design, or pure documentation editing.
tools
Master TypeScript's advanced type system including generics, conditional types, mapped types, template literals, and utility types for building type-safe applications. Use when implementing complex type logic, creating reusable type utilities, or ensuring compile-time type safety in TypeScript projects. Don't use for plain JavaScript, runtime validation libraries (Zod, Yup), or basic TypeScript syntax questions.
