Which AI providers are supported by the integration patterns?

The patterns cover setup and switching for OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), xAI (Grok), and Groq via the Vercel AI SDK.

What are the core patterns included in this skill?

It includes server action validators, tool abstraction systems, multi-AI provider configurations, Zustand state management, and Zod cross-field validation patterns.

How does the tool abstraction system handle runtime types?

It uses branded type tags and runtime narrowing to ensure that different tool types (like MCP or workflow tools) are correctly identified and executed safely within TypeScript.

Does this skill work with different authentication providers?

Yes, the patterns are designed to be adaptable to any authentication system including Better Auth, Clerk, Auth.js, or custom solutions.

Is this skill tied specifically to the better-chatbot project?

No, while these patterns were extracted from that project, they are portable templates intended to be adapted and integrated into any custom AI application.

Desarrollo de API

Implements production-grade architectural patterns for AI chatbots, including validated server actions, multi-provider support, and extensible tool systems.

Acerca de

Better Chatbot Patterns provides a comprehensive set of portable, production-grade templates extracted from the better-chatbot project to accelerate the development of custom AI interfaces. It standardizes complex tasks such as multi-AI provider integration, runtime tool type-checking, and secure server actions with built-in validation. By offering pre-built patterns for Next.js, Zod, and Zustand, it eliminates common architectural hurdles in AI application development, ensuring type safety, state consistency, and robust error handling across different LLM providers.
