[Feature]: Replace manual engine adapters with ai-sdk-core #500

Description

I’ve noticed that the engine implementations for different AI providers (like OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) are being maintained manually in this repo.

This makes it cumbersome to support each third-party API individually. For example:

  • Handling the API response from OpenAI manually:
    const completion = await this.client.chat.completions.create(params);
    const message = completion.choices[0].message;
    let content = message?.content;
    return removeContentTags(content, 'think');
  • Dealing with Anthropic’s error response shapes:
    if (
    axios.isAxiosError<{ error?: { message: string } }>(error) &&
    error.response?.status === 401
    ) {
    const anthropicAiError = error.response.data.error;
    if (anthropicAiError?.message) outro(anthropicAiError.message);
    outro(
    'For help look into README https://github.com/di-sukharev/opencommit#setup'
    );
    }

This approach will make it harder to keep up with rapidly evolving APIs and newer models being released. The boilerplate can become difficult to maintain at scale.

Suggested Solution

Instead of manually handling each engine and response type, I’d recommend offloading this work to a well-maintained abstraction layer.

AI SDK Core by Vercel is an excellent candidate. It provides:

  • A unified interface for calling different LLM providers
  • Built-in support for OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Cohere, Fireworks, Groq, etc.
  • Stream handling, errors, and provider-specific quirks abstracted away
  • Plug-and-play architecture for future provider support

By integrating ai-sdk-core, opencommit could reduce technical debt and improve forward compatibility while maintaining flexibility.

Let me know your thoughts — happy to help if needed!
