Chat Sdk
If you're building chat bots across Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, or GitHub, this skill covers the Vercel Chat SDK's unified approach: write your bot logic once with the Chat class, swap adapters per platform, and handle mentions, threads, streaming, and modals without rewriting event handlers. The chaining rules are smart. It nudges you away from direct @slack/bolt or discord.js imports toward the adapter pattern, suggests AI Gateway when it spots raw API keys, and points to Workflow when it sees polling loops that won't survive serverless. Useful if you're tired of maintaining separate codebases for each platform's quirks.

Chat SDK
Unified TypeScript SDK for building chat bots across Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord, Telegram, GitHub, Linear, WhatsApp, and more. Write your bot logic once, deploy everywhere.
Scaffold a new project
Use create-chat-sdk to scaffold a basic Next.js bot project without prompts. Run npx create-chat-sdk --help to see the available options and how the CLI works.
Start with Chat SDK documentation
When Chat SDK is installed in a user's project, inspect the published docs that ship in node_modules/chat/docs/, the resources in node_modules/chat/resources/, and the available open source templates in node_modules/chat/resources/templates.json.
If those paths do not exist, the chat package is not installed in the project yet. The user can install it with npm i chat.
You can also find the docs on the Chat SDK website and in the Vercel knowledge base.
