Ai Sdk
Gives Claude the full Vercel AI SDK documentation so it can build streaming chat interfaces, tool calling flows, and agent loops without guessing at outdated APIs. Ships with React hooks like useChat and useCompletion, plus provider integrations for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. The skill emphasizes looking up docs locally from node_modules rather than relying on training data, which is smart since this library moves fast. Covers structured output, embeddings, and the newer ToolLoopAgent patterns. If you're wiring up AI features in a Next.js or SvelteKit app and tired of fighting type errors or deprecated methods, this keeps Claude current with what actually works.

What the AI SDK Is
The AI SDK by Vercel (the ai package on npm) is a TypeScript toolkit for building AI applications. It provides a unified API across model providers for text generation, structured output, tool calling, agents, embeddings, and framework UI integrations.
- Repository: https://github.com/vercel/ai
- Documentation: https://ai-sdk.dev/docs
Critical: Do Not Trust Your Own Memory
Whatever you remember about the AI SDK is likely outdated. The SDK changes frequently across versions - APIs are renamed, removed, and added. Your training data almost certainly contains obsolete APIs, deprecated patterns, and model IDs that no longer exist. UI hooks like useChat are among the most frequently changed APIs, so be especially careful with client code.
Never write AI SDK code from memory. Always verify every API, option, and pattern against the documentation and source code for the version that is actually installed in the project.
Use the Bundled, Version-Matched Docs
The ai package ships its full documentation and source code inside node_modules. These always match the installed version, so trust them over anything you remember.
