Anthropic Driver

import { anthropic } from '@stacksjs/ai'

anthropic.configure({ apiKey: '...', model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514', maxTokens: 4096 })
const result = await anthropic.chat([{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }])
const stream = await anthropic.streamChat(messages, options)
const response = await anthropic.prompt('Summarize this text...')
const tokens = anthropic.estimateTokens(text)

OpenAI Driver

import { openai } from '@stacksjs/ai'

openai.configure({ apiKey: '...', model: 'gpt-4o', embeddingModel: 'text-embedding-3-small' })
const result = await openai.chat(messages, { temperature: 0.7 })
const stream = await openai.streamChat(messages)
const embeddings = await openai.embed('text to embed')
const image = await openai.generateImage('a sunset over mountains')
const transcription = await openai.transcribe(audioFile)
const speech = await openai.textToSpeech('Hello world')

Provider-Neutral Client

Use the config-driven client for application features that can run against Anthropic, OpenAI, or Ollama. Configuration inspection is safe to return from a status endpoint because it never includes credentials.

import { createAIClient, getAIProviderConfiguration } from '@stacksjs/ai'
import aiConfig from './config/ai'

const configuration = getAIProviderConfiguration(aiConfig)
// { provider: 'openai', model: 'gpt-4o-mini', configured: true, source: 'environment' }

if (configuration.configured) {
  const client = createAIClient(aiConfig)
  const result = await client.generate([{ role: 'user', content: 'Draft a launch plan.' }])
}

Ollama Driver (Local LLMs)

import { ollama } from '@stacksjs/ai'

ollama.configure({ host: 'http://localhost:11434', model: 'llama3' })
const result = await ollama.chat(messages)
const stream = await ollama.streamChat(messages)
const text = await ollama.generate('Write a poem')
const embeddings = await ollama.embed('text')
const models = await ollama.listModels()
await ollama.pullModel('llama3', (progress) => console.log(progress))
await ollama.deleteModel('old-model')
const info = await ollama.showModel('llama3')
const running = await ollama.isRunning()

Image Generation

import { generateImage, editImage, createImageVariation, analyzeImage, analyzeImages } from '@stacksjs/ai'

// Generate (DALL-E 3)
const result = await generateImage('a cat in space', {
  model: 'dall-e-3', size: '1024x1024', quality: 'hd', style: 'vivid', n: 1
})

// Edit (DALL-E 2)
await editImage(imageInput, 'add a hat', { mask: maskInput })

// Variations
await createImageVariation(imageInput, { n: 3 })

// Vision (GPT-4 Vision / Claude)
const analysis = await analyzeImage({ url: 'https://...' }, 'What is in this image?')
const multiAnalysis = await analyzeImages([img1, img2], 'Compare these')

Image inputs: { url: string }, { base64: string }, { file: string } (auto-converted)

RAG & Vector Search

import { createEmbedding, rag, VectorIndex, chunkText, indexText } from '@stacksjs/ai'

// Create embeddings
const embedding = await createEmbedding('text to embed')

// Vector similarity
cosineSimilarity(vecA, vecB)
dotProduct(vecA, vecB)
euclideanDistance(vecA, vecB)

// Text chunking
const chunks = chunkText(longText, { chunkSize: 500, overlap: 50 })

// Build index
const index = await indexText(text, { chunkSize: 500 })

// RAG query
const answer = await rag('What is X?', index, { model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514', maxTokens: 1000 })

// VectorIndex class
const idx = new VectorIndex({ dimensions: 1536 })
await idx.add([{ id: '1', content: 'Hello', metadata: {} }])
const results = await idx.search(, )
 results2 =  idx.(queryEmbedding, )
idx.()
idx.()
idx.      
idx.       

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

import { MCPClient, MCPManager, connectStdio, connectHTTP } from '@stacksjs/ai'

// Single server
const client = new MCPClient({ name: 'my-server', transport: 'stdio', command: 'npx', args: ['my-mcp-server'] })
await client.connect()
const tools = await client.listTools()
const resources = await client.listResources()
const prompts = await client.listPrompts()
const result = await client.callTool('tool-name', { arg: 'value' })
const resource = await client.readResource('resource://path')
const prompt = await client.getPrompt('prompt-name', { arg: 'value' })
const anthropicTools = client.toAnthropicTools()
const openaiTools = client.toOpenAITools()

// Multiple servers
const manager =  ()
manager.({ : , : , :  })
manager.({ : , : , :  })
 allTools =  manager.()
 manager.(, args)
 manager.()


 client =  (, , [])
 client =  (, , headers)

Transport types: 'stdio' | 'sse' | 'streamable-http'

Personalization

import { analyzeSentiment, classifyText, summarize, recommend, createProfile } from '@stacksjs/ai'

const sentiment = await analyzeSentiment('I love this product!')
// { sentiment: 'positive', score: 0.95, confidence: 0.98, aspects: [...] }

const classification = await classifyText('Fix the login bug', ['bug', 'feature', 'question'])
// { label: 'bug', confidence: 0.92, allLabels: [...] }

const summary = await summarize(longText, { maxLength: 100, style: 'bullet' })

const profile = createProfile('user-123', ['tech', 'gaming'])
recordInteraction(profile, { type: 'view', itemId: 'article-1', weight: 1.0 })
const recs = await recommend(profile, contentItems, { limit: 10 })
const interests = await extractUserInterests(profile, items)

Buddy AI Assistant

import { processCommand, buddyProcessStreaming, buddyStreamSimple, getAvailableDrivers } from '@stacksjs/ai'

const drivers = getAvailableDrivers()  // ['anthropic', 'openai', 'ollama']
const context = await getRepoContext('/path/to/repo')
await processCommand('Add error handling to auth.ts', 'anthropic')
// Streaming
for await (const chunk of buddyProcessStreaming('Refactor this function', 'openai', history)) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk)
}

Compact Project Context

Use the native context contract instead of sending dependency internals, lockfiles, or an arbitrary repository dump to a coding model:

buddy ai:context
buddy ai:context --json
buddy ai:context --json --output storage/framework/runtime/ai-context.json
buddy ai:context --max-chars 4000 --model claude-sonnet-4

Programmatic callers use buildProjectContext(projectRoot, options). Existing getRepoContext(projectRoot) calls return its compact text payload. The contract is deterministic, reports a heuristic token estimate, and describes canonical Model-View-Action roles, application overrides, instruction files, scripts, dependency names, and representative application files. It excludes node_modules, build output, caches, lockfiles, environment files, credentials, private keys, and secret files by default.

The character budget applies to the prompt payload. JSON adds a versioned metadata envelope for tools. Token estimates are planning heuristics, not provider billing counts or evidence that model output is correct.

Claude Agent

import { createClaudeLocalAgent, createClaudeEC2Agent } from '@stacksjs/ai'

const agent = createClaudeLocalAgent({ cwd: '/project' })
for await (const chunk of agent.processCommandStreaming('Fix the tests')) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk)
}

// Remote EC2 agent
const remoteAgent = createClaudeEC2Agent({ ec2Host: '...', ec2User: '...', ec2Key: '...' })

Claude Agent SDK

import { createClaudeAgentSDKDriver } from '@stacksjs/ai'

const driver = createClaudeAgentSDKDriver({
  maxTurns: 10, cwd: '/project', permissionMode: 'auto',
  allowedTools: ['Read', 'Write', 'Edit', 'Bash'],
  customSystemPrompt: 'You are a Stacks expert'
})

for await (const chunk of driver.processStreaming('Build a user registration flow')) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk)
}
const sessionId = driver.getLastSessionId()
await driver.resumeSession(sessionId, 'Add validation')

config/ai.ts

{
  default: 'meta.llama2-70b-chat-v1',
  models: ['meta.llama2-70b-chat-v1', ...],  // AWS Bedrock models
  deploy: true
}

Gotchas

• API keys should be in .env — ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY
• Ollama requires a local server running on port 11434
• Image generation uses OpenAI DALL-E by default
• Vision supports both GPT-4V and Claude models
• VectorIndex is in-memory — not persisted between restarts
• RAG combines chunking + embedding + vector search + LLM generation
• MCP supports stdio (subprocess), SSE, and HTTP transports
• The buddy assistant has git integration (commit, push, apply changes)
• Claude Agent SDK wraps the Claude Code CLI for agentic workflows
• Bedrock utilities are for AWS-hosted model invocation
• Sentiment/classification use AI models — they're not rule-based
