ai-sdk

A TypeScript toolkit for building applications that use AI models, including text generation, structured results, tool use, agents, and embeddings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building AI chatbots, agents, retrieval-augmented generation systems, text-generation features, and interfaces connected to AI models.
Why use it?
It provides one programming interface for common AI features and multiple model providers, while version-matched documentation helps avoid outdated code.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

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 2d 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.

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.

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Whatever you remember about the AI SDK is likely outdated.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.

  1. Ensure ai is installed. If node_modules/ai/ does not exist, install only the ai package using the project's package manager (e.g. pnpm add ai). Install provider packages (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai) and framework packages (e.g. @ai-sdk/react) later, when the task requires them.
  2. Read and grep the bundled docs at node_modules/ai/docs/ and the source at node_modules/ai/src/.
  3. Provider and framework packages bundle their own docs at node_modules/@ai-sdk/<name>/docs/.
  4. If something isn't in the bundled docs, search https://ai-sdk.dev/docs. You can append .md to any docs page URL to get its markdown, and search via https://ai-sdk.dev/api/search-docs?q=your_query.
  5. If you cannot find support for an answer in the docs or source, say so explicitly — do not guess.

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.

ai-sdk is a skill published in the GitHub repository pleaseai/claude-code-plugins (13 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 155 tokens to every session and 1,269 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
