Instructions for AI coding agents working with this codebase.
Always check the latest version before installing a package.
Before adding or updating any dependency, verify the current latest version on npm:
npm view <package-name> versionOr check multiple packages at once:
npm view ai version
npm view @ai-sdk/provider-utils version
npm view zod versionThis ensures we don't install outdated versions that may have incompatible types or missing features.
- Do not use emojis in code or UI
- Do not use barrel files (index.ts that re-exports from other files)
- Use shadcn CLI to add shadcn/ui components:
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add <component>
- Run
pnpm type-checkafter each turn to ensure type safety
Source code for dependencies is available in opensrc/ for deeper understanding of implementation details.
See opensrc/sources.json for the list of available packages and their versions.
Use this source code when you need to understand how a package works internally, not just its types/interface.
To fetch source code for a package or repository you need to understand, run:
npx opensrc <package> # npm package (e.g., npx opensrc zod)
npx opensrc pypi:<package> # Python package (e.g., npx opensrc pypi:requests)
npx opensrc crates:<package> # Rust crate (e.g., npx opensrc crates:serde)
npx opensrc <owner>/<repo> # GitHub repo (e.g., npx opensrc vercel/ai)
