chat-sdk

A TypeScript toolkit for building chat bots that work across services such as Slack, Teams, Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scaffolding bots, handling messages and mentions, responding to commands, and working with reactions, threads, cards, modals, and files.
Why use it?
It lets developers share bot logic across several chat services instead of building each integration separately.

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

chat-sdk scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to chat-sdk — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.

Guides

  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/how-to-build-an-ai-agent-for-slack-with-chat-sdk-and-ai-sdk.md — Build a Slack AI agent using Chat SDK, AI SDK's ToolLoopAgent, and Vercel AI Gateway. Covers project setup, tool definitions, streaming responses, deployment to Vercel, and scaling tool selection with toolpick.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/human-in-the-loop-with-chat-sdk-and-workflow-sdk.md — Pause durable workflows on Slack approval cards using Chat SDK and Workflow SDK. Uses createWebhook to suspend workflows until a button click, with patterns for multi-stage approvals, timeouts via durable sleep, and approver validation.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/liveblocks-chat-sdk-ai-sdk.md — Build an AI agent that replies to @-mentions in Liveblocks comment threads with streamed responses and tool calling. Uses Chat SDK, the Liveblocks adapter, AI SDK's ToolLoopAgent, and Redis for thread subscriptions and distributed locking.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/slack-bot-vercel-blob.md — Build a Slack bot that lists, reads, uploads, and deletes files in Vercel Blob through tool calls. Uses Chat SDK, AI SDK's ToolLoopAgent, and Files SDK's createFileTools factory with approval-gated write tools and a read-only mode.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/run-and-track-deploys-from-slack.md — Build a Slack deploy bot with Chat SDK and Vercel Workflow. Dispatch GitHub Actions from a slash command, gate production behind approval, poll for completion, and notify Linear and GitHub when the run finishes.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/triage-form-submissions-with-chat-sdk.md — Build a Slack bot that triages form submissions with interactive cards. Forward, edit, or mark as spam without leaving Slack. Built with Chat SDK, Hono, and Resend.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/how-to-build-a-slack-bot-with-next-js-and-redis.md — This guide walks through building a Slack bot with Next.js, covering project setup, Slack app configuration, event handling, interactive features, and deployment.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/create-a-discord-support-bot-with-nuxt-and-redis.md — This guide walks through building a Discord support bot with Nuxt, covering project setup, Discord app configuration, Gateway forwarding, AI-powered responses, and deployment.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/ship-a-github-code-review-bot-with-hono-and-redis.md — This guide walks through building a GitHub bot that reviews pull requests on demand. When a user @mentions the bot on a PR, Chat SDK picks up the mention, spins up a Vercel Sandbox with the repo cloned, and uses AI SDK to analyze the diff.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/build-a-slack-bot-with-vercel-connect.md — Learn how to build your very own Slackbot with Chat SDK and AI SDK. Vercel Connect supplies runtime Slack tokens and forwards triggers, so you never store a long-lived bot token.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/vercel-connect.md — Use Vercel Connect to call provider APIs like Slack, GitHub, and Snowflake from your agents and services with short-lived, user-authorized tokens instead of long-lived secrets.
  • node_modules/chat/resources/guides/ai-gateway-and-ai-sdk.md — Build AI agents on Vercel with AI Gateway and AI SDK, then make them reliable, capable, and durable with Sandbox, Chat SDK, Vercel Connect, and Workflow.

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.
