Vercel AI SDK Skills — Setup Guide

Source: vercel/ai GitHub: vercel/ai Skills: 3 skills · 51.1K total installs Category: TypeScript AI Development First Seen: ai-sdk on skills.sh January 23, 2026; catalogued August 16, 2026 sweep Quality Tier: 🟡 Trusted — official Vercel org; ai-sdk carries a Snyk Warn (see Limitations)

Vercel's official skills make the AI SDK (ai package on npm) safe for agents to work with: version-matched documentation, migration playbooks, and a guardrail against the single biggest agent failure mode — writing AI SDK code from memory against obsolete APIs.

Installation

npx skills add vercel/ai

Individual skills install with the explicit repo form:

npx skills add https://github.com/vercel/ai --skill ai-sdk

Prerequisites

Requirement Details
Node.js + npx For the skill installer
TypeScript project The SDK is TypeScript-first
Vercel AI SDK npm install ai in the target project

What It Provides

Skill Installs Purpose
ai-sdk 48.0K Core SDK docs: generateText, streamText, ToolLoopAgent, embed, tool calling across providers
migrate-ai-sdk-v6-to-v7 3.1K Breaking-change migration playbook
island-rescue 9 Early-access helper

The core ai-sdk skill covers the unified API across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other providers; React hooks (useChat, useCompletion); type-safe agent consumption via InferAgentUIMessage; and local DevTools debugging. Its central doctrine: never write AI SDK code from memory — always verify against the version-matched docs bundled inside node_modules.

Quick Start

  1. Install: npx skills add vercel/ai
  2. Ask the agent to scaffold an agent loop: "build a TypeScript agent with generateText + tool calling per the bundled AI SDK docs"
  3. For upgrades, invoke the migration skill: "migrate this project from AI SDK v6 to v7"

CorpusIQ Use Cases

Use Case How
Agent infrastructure ToolLoopAgent and streaming patterns are reference architecture for CorpusIQ's own agent loops
Multi-provider routing One unified API across providers maps directly onto our DeepSeek-primary, Claude-fallback model routing
Client delivery Version-matched scaffolding for clients building LLM-powered products
Migration discipline The v6→v7 playbook is a template for how we document breaking changes in our own stack

Limitations / Verification

  • Security audits on ai-sdk: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass, Snyk Warn — trusted with the audit named
  • Publisher-page install counts verified (48.0K ai-sdk); GitHub 26.2K stars
  • island-rescue shows 9 installs — experimental content, ignore it
  • Skills assume a Next.js/Vercel-adjacent stack; React hooks guidance is client-framework-specific
npx skills add vercel/ai   # verify install works
