use-ai-sdk

use-ai-sdk is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from marchatton/agent-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (994 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to using the Vercel AI SDK, a software library for generating text, streaming responses, calling tools, and producing structured output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding AI generation, streamed responses, tool calling, agent loops, structured results, or AI SDK providers.
Why use it?
It reduces errors caused by outdated or incorrect assumptions about the SDK's changing APIs and requires checking the current project documentation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

use-ai-sdk scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

7. **Always fetch current model IDs** - Never use model IDs from memory. Before writing code that uses a model, run `curl -s https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1/models | jq -r '[.data[] | select(.id | startswith("provider/")

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prerequisites

Before searching docs, check if node_modules/ai/docs/ exists. If not, install only the ai package using the project's package manager (e.g., pnpm add ai).

Do not install other packages at this stage. Provider packages (e.g., @ai-sdk/openai) and client packages (e.g., @ai-sdk/react) should be installed later when needed based on user requirements.

Critical: Do Not Trust Internal Knowledge

Everything you know about the AI SDK is outdated or wrong. Your training data contains obsolete APIs, deprecated patterns, and incorrect usage.

When working with the AI SDK:

  1. Ensure ai package is installed (see Prerequisites)
  2. Search node_modules/ai/docs/ and node_modules/ai/src/ for current APIs
  3. If not found locally, search ai-sdk.dev documentation (instructions below)
  4. Never rely on memory - always verify against source code or docs
  5. useChat has changed significantly - check Common Errors before writing client code
  6. When deciding which model and provider to use (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini), use the Vercel AI Gateway provider unless the user specifies otherwise. See AI Gateway Reference for usage details.
  7. Always fetch current model IDs - Never use model IDs from memory. Before writing code that uses a model, run curl -s https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1/models | jq -r '[.data[] | select(.id | startswith("provider/")) | .id] | reverse | .[]' (replacing provider with the relevant provider like anthropic, openai, or google) to get the full list with newest models first. Use the model with the highest version number (e.g., claude-sonnet-4-5 over claude-sonnet-4 over claude-3-5-sonnet).
  8. Run typecheck after changes to ensure code is correct
  9. Be minimal - Only specify options that differ from defaults. When unsure of defaults, check docs or source rather than guessing or over-specifying.

If you cannot find documentation to support your answer, state that explicitly.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
