 ## Coding Practices
 
 ### Code Organization
@@ -100,31 +102,82 @@ Prefer this over `npm view <pkg> version` when you only need the latest version,
 ### ESLint Setup
 
 ```js
-// eslint.config.mjs
+// eslint.config.js
 import antfu from '@antfu/eslint-config'
 
-export default antfu()
+export default antfu({
+  type: 'lib', // or 'app' (default)
+  pnpm: true, // enforce pnpm catalogs in package.json
+  antislop: true, // flag redundant/duplicated AI-style code, ban explicit `any`
+})
 ```
 
-
-When completing tasks, run `pnpm run lint --fix` to format the code and fix coding style.
+Always enable `antislop: true`. It requires `eslint-plugin-slop` and `eslint-plugin-sonarjs` as dev dependencies.
 
 For detailed configuration options: [antfu-eslint-config](references/antfu-eslint-config.md)
 
+### Knip
+
+Use [Knip](https://knip.dev) to catch unused files, exports and dependencies — the linter only sees one file at a time.
+
+```json
+// knip.json
+{
+  "$schema": "https://unpkg.com/knip@6/schema.json",
+  "project": ["src/**/*.ts"],
+  "ignoreDependencies": []
+}
+```
+
+Fix what Knip reports by deleting; only add to `ignoreDependencies` for tools invoked outside `package.json` scripts (e.g. `taze`).
+
+### Scripts and the `ci` Gate
+
+Every project exposes a `ci` script that runs all checks in one command:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "build": "tsdown",
+    "lint": "eslint --cache",
+    "typecheck": "tsc",
+    "knip": "knip",
+    "test": "pnpm run build && vitest",
+    "ci": "pnpm run lint && pnpm run typecheck && pnpm run knip && pnpm run test --run"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Before every commit, run `nr lint --fix` to format, then `nr ci` and make sure it passes.** Do not commit with a failing `ci`; fix the root cause instead of silencing rules or adding ignores.
+
 ### Git Hooks
 
+`simple-git-hooks` + `nano-staged`. The pre-commit hook runs the full `ci` gate; `prepare` also installs agent skills via `skills-npm`:
+
 ```json
 {
+  "scripts": {
+    "prepare": "git config core.hooksPath .githooks && simple-git-hooks && skills-npm"
+  },
   "simple-git-hooks": {

-    "prepare": "npx simple-git-hooks"
+  "nano-staged": {
+    "*": "eslint --fix --no-warn-ignored"
   }
 }
 ```
 
+Add `.githooks` to `.gitignore` and `simple-git-hooks: true` under `allowBuilds` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`.
+
+### skills-npm
+
+[`skills-npm`](https://github.com/antfu/skills-npm) symlinks agent skills shipped inside installed npm packages (and fetches those declared in a `skills` field) into the agent's skills directory on every install. Install as a dev dependency and wire it into `prepare` as above; add `skills/npm-*` to `.gitignore`. Commit the generated `skills-npm-lock.json`.
+
+### Publishing
+
+Prefer npm Trusted Publishing (OIDC) over `NPM_TOKEN` secrets: releases run on CI from a `v*` tag via `release.yml` with `id-token: write`, and `nr release` (`bumpp`) only bumps, tags and pushes. Details: [setting-up](references/setting-up.md#publishing-with-npm-trusted-publishing-oidc).

+Prefer [npm Trusted Publishing](https://docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers) over long-lived `NPM_TOKEN` secrets. The workflow above authenticates with a short-lived GitHub OIDC token (`id-token: write`), so there is nothing to leak or rotate, and every release is built on CI from a tagged commit.
+
+One-time setup per package:
+
+1. Run `pnpm publish` locally once so the package exists on npm.
+2. Open `https://www.npmjs.com/package/<name>/access` and link the GitHub repository + `release.yml` workflow as a trusted publisher.
+
+After that, `nr release` (`bumpp`) bumps the version, commits, tags and pushes; the tag triggers `release.yml`, which publishes. Never add an `NPM_TOKEN` secret to new projects, and don't run `npm publish` from a local machine for subsequent releases.

+Each callback includes outer `team_id`, `event_id`, and integer Unix-seconds `event_time` alongside the inner `event`.

Incoming webhook posts use their webhook record's team, or the target channel's team when no record matches.

+## Custom emulators
+
+The adapter accepts definitions created with `defineEmulator` from `emulate` in `services[name].emulator`. Reuse the definition from CLI/tests; custom inspector is opt-in. Root-relative redirect locations stay under the service mount, while custom HTML bodies pass through unchanged. Await the returned handler's `close()` in test teardown. Install `emulate` as a runtime dependency for deployed definitions. See https://emulate.dev/docs/custom-emulators for seeds, snapshots, persistence, and lifecycle rules.

 Firebase AI Logic is a product of Firebase that allows developers to add gen AI
-to their mobile and web apps using client-side SDKs. You can call Gemini models
-directly from your app without managing a dedicated backend. Firebase AI Logic,
-which was previously known as "Vertex AI for Firebase", represents the evolution

+to their mobile and web apps using client-side SDKs. The app can directly call
+Gemini models via Firebase AI Logic without the developer needing to manage a
+dedicated backend. Firebase AI Logic was previously known as "Vertex AI for
+Firebase".
 
 It supports the two Gemini API providers:
 
--   **Gemini Developer API**: It has a free tier ideal for prototyping, and
-    pay-as-you-go for production
--   **Agent Platform Gemini API** (formerly branded Vertex AI): Ideal for scale
-    with enterprise-grade production readiness, requires Blaze plan
+- **Gemini Developer API**: It has a free tier ideal for prototyping, and
+  pay-as-you-go for production
+- **Agent Platform Gemini API** (formerly branded Vertex AI): Ideal for scale

 Use the Gemini Developer API as a default, and only Agent Platform Gemini API
 (formerly branded Vertex AI) if the application requires it.

+## Setup & initialization
 
 ### Prerequisites
 
--   Before starting, ensure you have **Node.js 16+** and npm installed. Install
-    them if they aren’t already available.
--   Identify the platform the user is interested in building on prior to
-    starting: Android, iOS, Flutter or Web.
--   If their platform is unsupported, Direct the user to Firebase Docs to learn
-    how to set up AI Logic for their application (share this link with the user
-    https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/get-started)
+- Identify the platform the user is interested in building on prior to starting:
+  Android, iOS, Web, or Flutter.
+- If their platform is unsupported, Direct the user to Firebase Docs to learn
+  how to set up AI Logic for their application (share this link with the user
+  https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/get-started)
+- The Firebase CLI commands below run through `npx` on every platform, so they
+  need **Node.js 20+** and npm. Use the `firebase-basics` skill to check for
+  them and to log in to the Firebase CLI. If Node.js is missing or older than
+  version 20, ask the user to install it as that skill describes. Don't install
+  system packages yourself, for example with `sudo apt-get`, because that
+  changes the user's machine without their consent.
+
+### 1. Provision Firebase AI Logic (ALL platforms)
+
+Use the **Firebase CLI** to provision Firebase AI Logic for the Firebase
+Project:
+
+1. Make sure that you're in a firebase directory (with a `firebase.json`).
 
-### Installation
+1. Verify that you're running Firebase CLI commands against the intended
+   Firebase Project. When you run this command, the active project is marked
+   with "current":
 
-The library is part of the standard Firebase Web SDK.
+   ```bash
+   npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:list
+   ```
 
-`npm install firebase@latest`
+1. Make sure there's at least one Firebase App for the target platform
+   registered with the current Firebase Project:
 
-If you're in a firebase directory (with a firebase.json) the currently selected
-project will be marked with "current" using this command:
+   ```bash
+   npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:list
+   ```
 
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:list`
+1. Provision Firebase AI Logic for the Firebase Project:
 
-Ensure there's at least one app associated with the current project
+   ```bash
+   npx -y firebase-tools@latest init ailogic
+   ```
+
+   This command will enable the Gemini Developer API in the Firebase project.
+
+> [!WARNING] **CRITICAL: Provisioning Firebase AI Logic is Required** For all
+> platforms (Android, iOS, Web, or Flutter), even if the app already uses
+> Firebase, you MUST run `npx -y firebase-tools@latest init ailogic` to
+> provision the service. The configuration files of `GoogleService-Info.plist`,
+> `google-services.json`, and `firebase_options.dart` ONLY handle client
+> configuration and do NOT enable the Firebase AI Logic service, leading to
+> `PERMISSION_DENIED` errors.
 
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:list`
+If you can't run `init ailogic` yourself (for example because Node.js is missing
+or the Firebase CLI isn't logged in) do NOT skip it. The app's requests to
+Gemini models will fail until the Firebase AI Logic service is provisioned. Tell
+the user to run this command in their project directory, and include it in your
+final summary:
 
-Initialize AI logic SDK with the init command
+```bash
+npx -y firebase-tools@latest init ailogic
+```
 
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest init ailogic`
+### 2. Add the SDK and initialize the service in the app
 
-This will automatically enable the Gemini Developer API in the Firebase console.
+Adding the SDK dependency and initializing the service are platform-specific.
+Before writing code, read the reference for the target platform listed under
+[Initialization Code References](#initialization-code-references).

+## App Check Debug Provider

+For App Check debug tokens during local development and CI/CD, add the plugin
+with `flutter pub add firebase_app_check`, then activate the debug providers
+right after `Firebase.initializeApp()`:
+
+```dart
+import 'package:firebase_app_check/firebase_app_check.dart';
+import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
+
+// In main(), after `await Firebase.initializeApp();`
+if (kDebugMode) {
+  await FirebaseAppCheck.instance.activate(
+    providerAndroid: const AndroidDebugProvider(),
+    providerApple: const AppleDebugProvider(),
+    providerWeb: WebDebugProvider(),
+  );
+}
+```
+
+- Use `providerAndroid`, `providerApple`, and `providerWeb`. The older
+  `androidProvider` and `appleProvider` parameters (`AndroidProvider.debug`,
+  `AppleProvider.debug`) still appear in many examples but are deprecated.
+- Only use the debug providers in debug builds, as gated by `kDebugMode` above.
+  Release builds must activate the production providers (Play Integrity, App
+  Attest or DeviceCheck, and reCAPTCHA Enterprise) instead; see
+  [App Check for Firebase AI Logic](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/app-check.md.txt).
+- **CI/CD**: Pass the pre-provisioned token to all three debug providers, e.g.
+  `debugToken: const String.fromEnvironment('APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN')`, and build
+  with `--dart-define=APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN=<token>`.
+- **Flutter web**: `providerWeb` is required on web; without it, `activate()`
+  throws. `WebDebugProvider` turns on the web debug token itself, so
+  `web/index.html` doesn't need `self.FIREBASE_APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN`.
+- If the app uses `firebase_ai` 3.11.0 or lower, also set the `appCheck`
+  parameter of `FirebaseAI.googleAI(...)` to `FirebaseAppCheck.instance`. Newer
+  versions don't need this.

 ## 1. Import and Initialize

-let ai = FirebaseAI.firebaseAI()
+// To enable replay protection for generative or preview models, pass
+// useLimitedUseAppCheckTokens: true with your backend:

 let model = ai.generativeModel(modelName: "<latest_supported_model>")
 ```
 
+### App Check Replay Protection
+
+Generative and preview models enforce replay protection with 5-minute
+limited-use App Check tokens. If you call a protected model without enabling

+
+For App Check debug tokens during local development and CI/CD, add the

+`FirebaseApp.configure()`. Otherwise the debug provider isn't used.
+

+import FirebaseAppCheck
+import FirebaseCore

+
+### Debug Token Persistence
+
+When running on simulators or during development, the Firebase iOS SDK generates
+a new debug token UUID whenever `NSUserDefaults` is cleared (e.g., simulator
+reset or fresh install). To avoid invalidating tokens registered in the Firebase
+Console and prevent token churn, persist a stable token by setting the
+`AppCheckDebugToken` environment variable, which the SDK reads automatically at
+runtime:
+
+> [!WARNING] **CRITICAL: Never Hardcode or Commit Debug Tokens** Debug tokens
+> grant access to backend resources without device attestation. Never commit
+> debug tokens to version control or hardcode token strings in source code.
+
+- **In Xcode Scheme (Recommended):** Edit Scheme -> Run -> Arguments ->
+  Environment Variables -> Add `AppCheckDebugToken = <YOUR_DEBUG_TOKEN>`. Keep
+  user schemes (`xcuserdata/`) unshared and gitignored.
+- **In Code (Safe Dynamic Loading Only):** If setting the environment variable
+  in code before configuring `AppCheckDebugProviderFactory`, load the token
+  dynamically from a gitignored local file or environment rather than hardcoding
+  the token literal:
+
+```swift
+#if DEBUG
+// ✅ SAFE: Load from gitignored local file or process environment
+// Note: loadGitIgnoredDebugToken() is a placeholder for your custom helper (e.g., reading from a gitignored plist)
+if let debugToken = loadGitIgnoredDebugToken() {
+  setenv("AppCheckDebugToken", debugToken, 0)
+}
+let providerFactory = AppCheckDebugProviderFactory()
+AppCheck.setAppCheckProviderFactory(providerFactory)
+#endif
+
+FirebaseApp.configure() // Configure Firebase AFTER setting the App Check provider factory

+# Client-Side Text-to-Speech (TTS) Generation with Gemini
+
+Firebase AI Logic enables client-side Text-to-Speech (TTS) generation directly
+from your mobile and web applications without maintaining custom backend speech
+services. Using specialized Gemini TTS models, apps can synthesize natural,
+expressive audio with custom voice personas, multi-speaker dialogues, and
+in-flight audio streaming.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## Supported Models
+
+Always specify a dedicated Gemini TTS model when generating audio:
+
+| Model ID                       | Description                                                                        |
+| :----------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview` | Low-latency speech synthesis (preview); supports single- and multi-speaker output. |
+
+> [!WARNING] Always verify currently supported model availability in the
+> [Firebase AI Logic Models documentation](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/models.md.txt).
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## Core Concepts & Configurations
+
+### 1. Response Modality
+
+To instruct Gemini to synthesize and return audio, configure
+`responseModalities` in the generation configuration to include audio:
+
+- **Swift**: `generationConfig = GenerationConfig(responseModalities: [.audio])`
+- **Kotlin**:
+  `generationConfig { responseModalities = listOf(ResponseModality.AUDIO) }`
+- **Web (JS/TS)**: `generationConfig: { responseModalities: ["AUDIO"] }`
+
+### 2. Single-Speaker `SpeechConfig`
+
+Configure voice persona and optional language code (`languageCode`, e.g.
+`"en-US"`, `"es-ES"`, `"ja-JP"`) using `SpeechConfig`. Voice names map to Google
+prebuilt neural voices (for example: `Puck`, `Charon`, `Kore`, `Fenrir`,
+`Aoede`):
+
+- **Swift**:
+  ```swift
+  let speechConfig = SpeechConfig(
+      voiceConfig: VoiceConfig(
+          prebuiltVoiceConfig: PrebuiltVoiceConfig(voiceName: "Puck")
+      ),
+      languageCode: "en-US"
+  )
+  ```
+- **Kotlin**:
+  ```kotlin
+  val speechConfig = speechConfig {
+      voiceConfig = voiceConfig {
+          prebuiltVoiceConfig = prebuiltVoiceConfig {
+              voiceName = "Puck"
+          }
+      }
+      languageCode = "en-US"
+  }
+  ```
+- **Web**:
+  ```javascript
+  speechConfig: {
+    voiceConfig: {
+      prebuiltVoiceConfig: {
+        voiceName: "Puck"
+      }
+    },
+    languageCode: "en-US"
+  }
+  ```
+
+### 3. Multi-Speaker `MultiSpeakerVoiceConfig` (2-Speaker Dialogues)
+
+For scripts with two distinct characters or roles (e.g., host and guest,
+narrator and character), configure `MultiSpeakerVoiceConfig` with
+`speakerVoiceConfigs` linking speaker names to specific voices:
+
+- **Swift**:
+  ```swift
+  let multiSpeakerConfig = SpeechConfig(
+      multiSpeakerVoiceConfig: MultiSpeakerVoiceConfig(
+          speakerVoiceConfigs: [
+              SpeakerVoiceConfig(
+                  speaker: "Host",
+                  voiceConfig: VoiceConfig(
+                      prebuiltVoiceConfig: PrebuiltVoiceConfig(voiceName: "Puck")
+                  )
+              ),
+              SpeakerVoiceConfig(
+                  speaker: "Guest",
+                  voiceConfig: VoiceConfig(
+                      prebuiltVoiceConfig: PrebuiltVoiceConfig(voiceName: "Aoede")
+                  )
+              )
+          ]
+      )
+  )
+  ```
+- **Kotlin**:
+  ```kotlin
+  val multiSpeakerConfig = speechConfig {
+      multiSpeakerVoiceConfig = multiSpeakerVoiceConfig {
+          speakerVoiceConfigs = listOf(
+              speakerVoiceConfig {
+                  speaker = "Host"
+                  voiceConfig = voiceConfig {
+                      prebuiltVoiceConfig = prebuiltVoiceConfig { voiceName = "Puck" }
+                  }
+              },
+              speakerVoiceConfig {
+                  speaker = "Guest"
+                  voiceConfig = voiceConfig {
+                      prebuiltVoiceConfig = prebuiltVoiceConfig { voiceName = "Aoede" }
+                  }
+              }
+          )
+      }
+  }
+  ```
+- **Web**:
+  ```javascript
+  speechConfig: {
+    multiSpeakerVoiceConfig: {
+      speakerVoiceConfigs: [
+        {
+          speaker: "Host",
+          voiceConfig: { prebuiltVoiceConfig: { voiceName: "Puck" } }
+        },
+        {
+          speaker: "Guest",
+          voiceConfig: { prebuiltVoiceConfig: { voiceName: "Aoede" } }
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## Audio Directives and Emotional Tags
+
+Gemini TTS models accept natural-language directives and inline tags in prompts
+to control tone, cadence, pacing, and emotional expression.
+
+### Directives
+
+Include directives at the start of your prompt to set the overall tone and
+scene:
+
+- `[Audio Profile: Warm, conversational podcast co-host with energetic delivery]`
+- `[Scene: Quiet bedtime story in a calm room]`
+- `[Director's Note: Speak deliberately, pausing for reflection after major questions]`
+
+### Emotional Tags & Delivery Cues
+
+Embed delivery markers inline within dialogue or narration:
+
+- `[whispers]` — Soft, confidential whisper.
+- `[laughs]` / `[chuckles]` — Lighthearted laughter during delivery.
+- `[sighs]` — Expressive exhale.
+- `[slowly]` — Reduced tempo for emphasis or dramatic effect.
+- `[excited]` — Higher energy and faster pacing.
+- `[pause]` — Deliberate silence.
+
+### Multi-Speaker Prompt Example
+
+```text
+[Scene: A lively coffee-shop tech discussion]
+[Director's Note: Host is upbeat and curious; Guest is thoughtful and explanatory]
+
+Host: Welcome back! [excited] Today we are diving into client-side audio.
+Guest: [laughs] It's about time! No servers in between means virtually zero latency.
+Host: [whispers] Tell us the secret... how does it stream?
+Guest: [slowly] Pure linear PCM, chunk by chunk, directly to your device's audio engine.
+```
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## Audio Decoding and Playback
+
+### Format Specifications
+
+Gemini TTS audio format depends on whether the request is unary or streaming:
+
+- **Unary Requests (`generateContent`)**: Returns complete **WAV (`audio/wav`)**
+  audio with a standard 44-byte RIFF header included by default (24 kHz, mono,
+  16-bit signed little-endian PCM). These bytes can be passed directly to
+  standard media players (`AVAudioPlayer`, `MediaPlayer`, `<audio>`).
+
+- **Streaming Requests (`generateContentStream`)**: Returns headerless raw
+  **Linear PCM (`audio/l16; rate=24000; channels=1`)** chunks (24 kHz, mono,
+  16-bit signed little-endian PCM) so chunks can be streamed or concatenated
+  continuously without per-chunk container headers.
+
+- **Audio Parameters**:
+
+  - **Sample Rate**: 24,000 Hz (24 kHz)
+  - **Channels**: 1 channel (mono)
+  - **Bit Depth**: 16-bit linear PCM (little-endian signed integer)
+  - **MIME Types**: `audio/l16` (streaming chunks) or `audio/wav` /
+    `audio/x-wav` (unary)
+
+### Playback Approaches
+
+1. **Direct Low-Latency PCM Streaming**:
+   - Stream raw PCM chunks directly into low-level audio renderers without
+     waiting for the full response:
+     - **iOS**: `AVAudioEngine` + `AVAudioPlayerNode` scheduling
+       `AVAudioPCMBuffer`.
+     - **Android**: `AudioTrack` configured with `ENCODING_PCM_16BIT` and
+       `CHANNEL_OUT_MONO`.
+     - **Web**: Web Audio API (`AudioContext`) scheduling PCM chunks into
+       `AudioBufferSourceNode`.
+1. **WAV Container Format**:
+   - Standard media players (`AVAudioPlayer` on iOS, `MediaPlayer` on Android,
+     `<audio>` on Web) expect a container header (RIFF/WAV).
+   - For unary responses, the RIFF header is already present. For assembled
+     streaming PCM chunks, prepend a standard **44-byte RIFF header** to make
+     the complete audio immediately playable or saveable as `.wav`.

+## Best Practices & Troubleshooting
+
+- **Audio Session & Permissions**: On iOS and Android, make sure the app's audio
+  session/category is configured to allow playback (e.g.,
+  `AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback`).
+- **Buffering & Jitter Prevention**: When streaming audio chunks via
+  `generateContentStream`, queue buffers sequentially with exact timestamps or
+  frame offsets to avoid audio stutter or gaps.
+- **Model Compatibility**: TTS features require Gemini models with dedicated
+  audio synthesis capabilities (`gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview`). Do not use
+  standard text-only model IDs.
+- **App Check Protection**: Generating audio consumes quota. Protect your API
+  endpoints by enforcing App Check on every client build.

+#### App Check Replay Protection on Android
+
+Generative and preview models enforce replay protection using short-lived

+This ensures the SDK requests fresh limited-use tokens (via Play Integrity or

+### App Check Replay Protection
+
+Generative and preview models enforce replay protection with 5-minute
+limited-use App Check tokens. If you call a protected model without enabling
+limited-use tokens, the request fails with:
+
+```text
+HTTP 403: "To access this model, you must enforce Firebase App Check"

+To resolve this error on Web, initialize `getAI` with
+`useLimitedUseAppCheckTokens: true`:
+
+```javascript
+const ai = getAI(app, {
+  backend: new GoogleAIBackend(),
+  useLimitedUseAppCheckTokens: true,
+});
+```
+
+This instructs the SDK to fetch fresh, short-lived limited-use tokens (such as
+via reCAPTCHA Enterprise or the debug provider) for requests rather than reusing
+standard cached App Check tokens.

+App Check debug tokens for local development and CI/CD:

+- **Local development**: Set `self.FIREBASE_APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN = true;` before
+  initializing App Check (generates a token in the browser console; do not
+  hardcode secret strings in client code).
+- **CI/CD**: Pass the pre-provisioned token from the environment instead (e.g.
+  `self.FIREBASE_APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN = process.env.APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN`).
+
+### Debug Token Persistence
+
+When testing AI Logic on Web with App Check, clearing site data, using
+incognito/private windows, or switching browsers generates a new debug token
+when `self.FIREBASE_APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN = true` is used. To avoid this debug
+token churn without leaking secrets into client bundles, load a stable token
+from a gitignored local environment file:
+
+> [!WARNING] **CRITICAL: Never Hardcode or Commit Debug Tokens** Never hardcode
+> debug token strings in web source code. Always load them from a local,
+> gitignored environment file.

+  existing project.
+
+- **If no existing Firebase Project or human user does not want to use an
+  existing project:** Create a new Firebase Project.
+
+  Provide a required unique PROJECT_ID and an optional PROJECT_DISPLAY_NAME:
+
+  ```bash

+  ```
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 3. Register the Android project
+
+Register the app module (package name) of the Android project with the Firebase
+project. Provide an optional APP_DISPLAY_NAME and required PACKAGE_NAME:
+
+```bash
+npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID <APP_DISPLAY_NAME> --package-name <PACKAGE_NAME> --project <PROJECT_ID>
+```
 
-Link your Android app module (package name) to your project. Notice that the
-display name is passed as a positional argument at the end:
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID '<APP_DISPLAY_NAME>' --package-name '<PACKAGE_NAME>' --project <PROJECT_ID>`
 *Example:*
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID 'MyApplication' --package-name 'com.example.myapplication' --project my-cool-app-20260330`
 
-### 3. Download `google-services.json`
+```bash
+npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID MyApplication --package-name com.example.myapplication --project my-cool-app-20260330

+
+NOTE: A package name is often referred to as an *application ID* within an
+Android project. Find an app's package name in the module (app-level) Gradle
+file, usually `app/build.gradle.kts`.

+## 6. App Check (Debug Token Persistence)
+
+When using App Check on Android emulators or local development,
+`DebugAppCheckProviderFactory.getInstance()` generates a UUID token and stores
+it in `SharedPreferences`. Wiping emulator data, clearing app storage, or fresh
+installs generate a new UUID in Logcat, causing debug token churn in the
+Firebase Console.
+
+> [!WARNING] **CRITICAL: Never Hardcode or Commit Debug Tokens** App Check debug
+> tokens allow clients to bypass attestation and access backend resources
+> without a genuine device. **Never hardcode debug token strings in
+> build.gradle.kts, Java, or Kotlin files, and never commit tokens to version
+> control.** If a token is compromised, revoke it immediately in the Firebase
+> Console.
+
+To persist a stable debug token across emulator resets and testing without
+committing secrets:
+
+1. Obtain or generate a stable UUID debug token and register it in the Firebase
+   Console under **Security > App Check > Apps > Manage debug tokens**.
+
+1. Store the token in your project's gitignored `local.properties`:
+
+   ```properties
+   # In local.properties (ensure this file is in your .gitignore!)
+   APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN=<YOUR_DEBUG_TOKEN>
+   ```
+
+1. Inject the secret in `app/build.gradle.kts` for instrumentation/testing:
+
+   ```kotlin
+   val localProperties = java.util.Properties().apply {
+       val localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file("local.properties")
+       if (localPropertiesFile.exists()) {
+           load(localPropertiesFile.inputStream())
+       }
+   }
+   val appCheckDebugToken = localProperties.getProperty("APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN")
+       ?: System.getenv("APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN") ?: ""
+
+   android {
+       defaultConfig {
+           // For normal emulator runs (injects into AndroidManifest)

+           // For instrumentation tests
+           if (appCheckDebugToken.isNotEmpty()) {

+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+1. In your application or activity, install the debug provider for debug builds:
+
+   ```kotlin
+   if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
+       Firebase.appCheck.installAppCheckProviderFactory(
+           DebugAppCheckProviderFactory.getInstance()

+## 4. App Check (Debug Token Persistence)
+
+When using App Check in local development or the iOS Simulator, the Firebase iOS
+SDK generates a new UUID debug token whenever `NSUserDefaults` is erased (such
+as during a simulator reset or fresh install). This causes debug token churn and
+invalidates tokens previously registered in the Firebase console.
+
+> [!WARNING] **CRITICAL: Never Hardcode or Commit Debug Tokens** App Check debug

+> code.** If a token is compromised, revoke it immediately in the Firebase
+> Console.
+
+To persist a stable debug token across simulator resets without committing
+secrets:
+
+1. Obtain or generate a stable UUID debug token and register it in the Firebase
+   Console under **Security > App Check > Apps > Manage debug tokens**.
+
+1. Supply `AppCheckDebugToken` via your local environment instead of hardcoding
+   it in code:
+
+   - **Xcode Scheme Environment Variables (Recommended):**
+
+     - Select **Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme...** (or `Cmd + <`).
+     - Navigate to **Run > Arguments > Environment Variables**.
+     - Add `AppCheckDebugToken = <YOUR_DEBUG_TOKEN>`.
+     - *Tip:* Keep your personal scheme unshared or ensure user scheme data
+       (`xcuserdata/`) is included in `.gitignore` so your personal debug token
+       is not committed.
+
+   - **In Code (Only with Secure / Gitignored Loading):** If setting the
+     environment variable in code before initializing
+     `AppCheckDebugProviderFactory`, load the token dynamically from a
+     gitignored local file or build configuration—never hardcode the raw token
+     string:
+
+     ```swift
+     #if DEBUG
+     // ⛔️ DO NOT hardcode literal tokens: setenv("AppCheckDebugToken", "secret-uuid", 0)
+     // ✅ SAFE: Load dynamically from a gitignored local file, xcconfig, or process environment
+     // Note: loadGitIgnoredDebugToken() is a placeholder for your custom helper (e.g., reading from a gitignored plist)
+     if let debugToken = loadGitIgnoredDebugToken() {
+       setenv("AppCheckDebugToken", debugToken, 0)
+     }
+     let providerFactory = AppCheckDebugProviderFactory()
+     AppCheck.setAppCheckProviderFactory(providerFactory)
+     #endif
+
+     FirebaseApp.configure() // Must be called AFTER setting the App Check provider factory
+     ```
+
+Setting this environment variable avoids invalidating tokens registered in the
+Firebase console by ensuring a consistent debug token is reused across simulator
+resets and fresh app installs.

-Important references:
-
-- Refer to the `firebase-basics` skills, particularly those for project and app
-  setup, before proceeding.
-
-## Project and App Setup
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following. If a `google-services.json`
-file is present, then use that Firebase project and app. Otherwise you may need
-to create them.
-
-- **Firebase CLI**: Installed and logged in (see `firebase-basics`).
-- **Firebase Project**: Created via
-  `npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:create` (see `firebase-basics`).
-- **Firebase App**: Created via
-  `npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID <display-name> --package-name=<package-name>`
-
-The `google-services.json` file must be present in the Android app's module
-directory. If missing, get the config using the Firebase CLI:
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:sdkconfig ANDROID <App-ID>`.

+# Firebase Crashlytics - Android Setup Guide (Kotlin)
+
+This guide describes the SDK setup and basic usage patterns for Firebase
+Crashlytics in an Android app using Kotlin DSL (`build.gradle.kts`) and Kotlin
+code.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+IMPORTANT: Before specifically working with Firebase Crashlytics, make sure to
+use the skill and reference `firebase_basics/references/android_setup` to ensure
+the following is done.
+
+- The Firebase CLI is available and authenticated.
+- An Android project exists and is registered with a Firebase Project.
+- The Android project has a Firebase config file (`google-services.json`) and
+  the Google services Gradle plugin (`google-services`).

-
-Important references:
-
-- Refer to the `firebase-basics` skills, particularly those for project and app
-  setup, before proceeding.
-
-## Project and App Setup
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following. If a `google-services.json`
-file is present, then use that Firebase project and app. Otherwise you may need
-to create them.
-
-- **Firebase CLI**: Installed and logged in (see `firebase-basics`).
-- **Firebase Project**: Created via
-  `npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:create` (see `firebase-basics`).
-- **Firebase App**: Created via
-  `npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID <display-name> --package-name=<package-name>`
-
-The `google-services.json` file must be present in the Android app's module
-directory. If missing, get the config using the Firebase CLI:
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:sdkconfig ANDROID <App-ID>`.
-
-## Add Dependencies to Gradle Build
-
-These changes are made to your Android project's Gradle files. Google Analytics

+
+In the **module (app-level)** `build.gradle.kts` (usually

-   }
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 2. Set in-app defaults
+
+1. Define default values so the app has functional logic before it ever fetches
+   a template from the server. Create an XML file (e.g.,
+   `res/xml/remote_config_defaults.xml`):
+
+   ```xml
+   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+   <!-- Example Remote Config Defaults File -->
+   <defaultsMap>
+       <entry>
+           <key>welcome_message</key>

+   </defaultsMap>
    ```
 
-1. Add the Firebase Remote Config and Analytics dependencies. Using the Firebase
-   Bill of Materials (BoM) is the best practice for version management.
+1. Initialize the SDK in the Activity or Application class:

-       // ... other dependencies
-
-       // Import the Firebase BoM
-       implementation(platform("com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:<latest_bom_version>"))
-

-   }
+   val remoteConfig = Firebase.remoteConfig
+   remoteConfig.setDefaultsAsync(R.xml.remote_config_defaults)
    ```
 
-## Follow up Steps
-
-The following steps cover the essential patterns for using Remote Config
-effectively.
-
-### Set In-App Defaults
-
-Define default values so your app has functional logic before it ever fetches a
-template from the server. Create an XML file (e.g.,
-`res/xml/remote_config_defaults.xml`):
-```xml
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
-<!-- Example Remote Config Defaults File -->
-<defaultsMap>
-    <entry>
-        <key>welcome_message</key>
-        <value>Welcome to the app!</value>
-    </entry>
-    <entry>
-        <key>is_feature_enabled</key>
-        <value>false</value>
-    </entry>
-</defaultsMap>
-```
-
-Then, initialize the SDK in your Activity or Application class:
-
-```kotlin
-import com.google.firebase.Firebase
-import com.google.firebase.remoteconfig.remoteConfig
-
-val remoteConfig = Firebase.remoteConfig
-remoteConfig.setDefaultsAsync(R.xml.remote_config_defaults)
-```

+dedicated backend. Firebase AI Logic was previously known as "Vertex AI for
+Firebase".
 
 It supports the two Gemini API providers:
 
--   **Gemini Developer API**: It has a free tier ideal for prototyping, and
-    pay-as-you-go for production
--   **Agent Platform Gemini API** (formerly branded Vertex AI): Ideal for scale

 ### Prerequisites
 
--   Before starting, ensure you have **Node.js 16+** and npm installed. Install
-    them if they aren’t already available.
--   Identify the platform the user is interested in building on prior to
-    starting: Android, iOS, Flutter or Web.
--   If their platform is unsupported, Direct the user to Firebase Docs to learn
-    how to set up AI Logic for their application (share this link with the user
-    https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/get-started)
+- Identify the platform the user is interested in building on prior to starting:
+  Android, iOS, Web, or Flutter.
+- If their platform is unsupported, Direct the user to Firebase Docs to learn
+  how to set up AI Logic for their application (share this link with the user
+  https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/get-started)
+- The Firebase CLI commands below run through `npx` on every platform, so they
+  need **Node.js 20+** and npm. Use the `firebase-basics` skill to check for
+  them and to log in to the Firebase CLI. If Node.js is missing or older than
+  version 20, ask the user to install it as that skill describes. Don't install
+  system packages yourself, for example with `sudo apt-get`, because that
+  changes the user's machine without their consent.
+
+### 1. Provision Firebase AI Logic (ALL platforms)
+
+Use the **Firebase CLI** to provision Firebase AI Logic for the Firebase
+Project:
+
+1. Make sure that you're in a firebase directory (with a `firebase.json`).
 
-### Installation
+1. Verify that you're running Firebase CLI commands against the intended
+   Firebase Project. When you run this command, the active project is marked
+   with "current":
 
-The library is part of the standard Firebase Web SDK.
+   ```bash
+   npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:list
+   ```
 
-`npm install firebase@latest`
+1. Make sure there's at least one Firebase App for the target platform
+   registered with the current Firebase Project:
 
-If you're in a firebase directory (with a firebase.json) the currently selected
-project will be marked with "current" using this command:
+   ```bash
+   npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:list
+   ```
 
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:list`
+1. Provision Firebase AI Logic for the Firebase Project:
 
-Ensure there's at least one app associated with the current project
+   ```bash
+   npx -y firebase-tools@latest init ailogic
+   ```
+
+   This command will enable the Gemini Developer API in the Firebase project.
+
+> [!WARNING] **CRITICAL: Provisioning Firebase AI Logic is Required** For all
+> platforms (Android, iOS, Web, or Flutter), even if the app already uses
+> Firebase, you MUST run `npx -y firebase-tools@latest init ailogic` to
+> provision the service. The configuration files of `GoogleService-Info.plist`,
+> `google-services.json`, and `firebase_options.dart` ONLY handle client
+> configuration and do NOT enable the Firebase AI Logic service, leading to
+> `PERMISSION_DENIED` errors.
 
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:list`
+If you can't run `init ailogic` yourself (for example because Node.js is missing
+or the Firebase CLI isn't logged in) do NOT skip it. The app's requests to
+Gemini models will fail until the Firebase AI Logic service is provisioned. Tell
+the user to run this command in their project directory, and include it in your
+final summary:
 
-Initialize AI logic SDK with the init command
+```bash
+npx -y firebase-tools@latest init ailogic
+```
 
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest init ailogic`
+### 2. Add the SDK and initialize the service in the app
 
-This will automatically enable the Gemini Developer API in the Firebase console.
+Adding the SDK dependency and initializing the service are platform-specific.
+Before writing code, read the reference for the target platform listed under
+[Initialization Code References](#initialization-code-references).

+```dart
+import 'package:firebase_app_check/firebase_app_check.dart';
+import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
+
+// In main(), after `await Firebase.initializeApp();`

+  await FirebaseAppCheck.instance.activate(
+    providerAndroid: const AndroidDebugProvider(),
+    providerApple: const AppleDebugProvider(),
+    providerWeb: WebDebugProvider(),
+  );
+}
+```
+
+- Use `providerAndroid`, `providerApple`, and `providerWeb`. The older
+  `androidProvider` and `appleProvider` parameters (`AndroidProvider.debug`,
+  `AppleProvider.debug`) still appear in many examples but are deprecated.
+- Only use the debug providers in debug builds, as gated by `kDebugMode` above.
+  Release builds must activate the production providers (Play Integrity, App
+  Attest or DeviceCheck, and reCAPTCHA Enterprise) instead; see
+  [App Check for Firebase AI Logic](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/app-check.md.txt).
+- **CI/CD**: Pass the pre-provisioned token to all three debug providers, e.g.
+  `debugToken: const String.fromEnvironment('APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN')`, and build
+  with `--dart-define=APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN=<token>`.
+- **Flutter web**: `providerWeb` is required on web; without it, `activate()`
+  throws. `WebDebugProvider` turns on the web debug token itself, so
+  `web/index.html` doesn't need `self.FIREBASE_APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN`.
+- If the app uses `firebase_ai` 3.11.0 or lower, also set the `appCheck`
+  parameter of `FirebaseAI.googleAI(...)` to `FirebaseAppCheck.instance`. Newer
+  versions don't need this.

 let model = ai.generativeModel(modelName: "<latest_supported_model>")
 ```
 
+### App Check Replay Protection
+
+Generative and preview models enforce replay protection with 5-minute
+limited-use App Check tokens. If you call a protected model without enabling

+
+For App Check debug tokens during local development and CI/CD, add the
+`FirebaseAppCheck` product to the app target (with the `xcode-project-setup`

+`FirebaseApp.configure()`. Otherwise the debug provider isn't used.
+

+
+### Debug Token Persistence
+
+When running on simulators or during development, the Firebase iOS SDK generates
+a new debug token UUID whenever `NSUserDefaults` is cleared (e.g., simulator
+reset or fresh install). To avoid invalidating tokens registered in the Firebase
+Console and prevent token churn, persist a stable token by setting the
+`AppCheckDebugToken` environment variable, which the SDK reads automatically at
+runtime:
+
+> [!WARNING] **CRITICAL: Never Hardcode or Commit Debug Tokens** Debug tokens
+> grant access to backend resources without device attestation. Never commit
+> debug tokens to version control or hardcode token strings in source code.
+
+- **In Xcode Scheme (Recommended):** Edit Scheme -> Run -> Arguments ->
+  Environment Variables -> Add `AppCheckDebugToken = <YOUR_DEBUG_TOKEN>`. Keep
+  user schemes (`xcuserdata/`) unshared and gitignored.
+- **In Code (Safe Dynamic Loading Only):** If setting the environment variable
+  in code before configuring `AppCheckDebugProviderFactory`, load the token
+  dynamically from a gitignored local file or environment rather than hardcoding

+## Supported Models
+
+Always specify a dedicated Gemini TTS model when generating audio:
+
+| Model ID                       | Description                                                                        |
+| :----------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview` | Low-latency speech synthesis (preview); supports single- and multi-speaker output. |
+
+> [!WARNING] Always verify currently supported model availability in the
+> [Firebase AI Logic Models documentation](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/models.md.txt).
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## Core Concepts & Configurations
+
+### 1. Response Modality
+
+To instruct Gemini to synthesize and return audio, configure
+`responseModalities` in the generation configuration to include audio:
+
+- **Swift**: `generationConfig = GenerationConfig(responseModalities: [.audio])`
+- **Kotlin**:
+  `generationConfig { responseModalities = listOf(ResponseModality.AUDIO) }`
+- **Web (JS/TS)**: `generationConfig: { responseModalities: ["AUDIO"] }`
+
+### 2. Single-Speaker `SpeechConfig`
+
+Configure voice persona and optional language code (`languageCode`, e.g.
+`"en-US"`, `"es-ES"`, `"ja-JP"`) using `SpeechConfig`. Voice names map to Google
+prebuilt neural voices (for example: `Puck`, `Charon`, `Kore`, `Fenrir`,
+`Aoede`):
+
+- **Swift**:
+  ```swift
+  let speechConfig = SpeechConfig(
+      voiceConfig: VoiceConfig(
+          prebuiltVoiceConfig: PrebuiltVoiceConfig(voiceName: "Puck")
+      ),
+      languageCode: "en-US"
+  )
+  ```
+- **Kotlin**:
+  ```kotlin
+  val speechConfig = speechConfig {
+      voiceConfig = voiceConfig {
+          prebuiltVoiceConfig = prebuiltVoiceConfig {
+              voiceName = "Puck"
+          }
+      }
+      languageCode = "en-US"
+  }
+  ```
+- **Web**:
+  ```javascript
+  speechConfig: {
+    voiceConfig: {
+      prebuiltVoiceConfig: {
+        voiceName: "Puck"
+      }
+    },
+    languageCode: "en-US"
+  }
+  ```
+
+### 3. Multi-Speaker `MultiSpeakerVoiceConfig` (2-Speaker Dialogues)
+
+For scripts with two distinct characters or roles (e.g., host and guest,
+narrator and character), configure `MultiSpeakerVoiceConfig` with
+`speakerVoiceConfigs` linking speaker names to specific voices:
+
+- **Swift**:
+  ```swift
+  let multiSpeakerConfig = SpeechConfig(
+      multiSpeakerVoiceConfig: MultiSpeakerVoiceConfig(
+          speakerVoiceConfigs: [
+              SpeakerVoiceConfig(
+                  speaker: "Host",
+                  voiceConfig: VoiceConfig(
+                      prebuiltVoiceConfig: PrebuiltVoiceConfig(voiceName: "Puck")
+                  )
+              ),
+              SpeakerVoiceConfig(
+                  speaker: "Guest",
+                  voiceConfig: VoiceConfig(
+                      prebuiltVoiceConfig: PrebuiltVoiceConfig(voiceName: "Aoede")
+                  )
+              )
+          ]
+      )
+  )
+  ```
+- **Kotlin**:
+  ```kotlin
+  val multiSpeakerConfig = speechConfig {
+      multiSpeakerVoiceConfig = multiSpeakerVoiceConfig {
+          speakerVoiceConfigs = listOf(
+              speakerVoiceConfig {
+                  speaker = "Host"
+                  voiceConfig = voiceConfig {
+                      prebuiltVoiceConfig = prebuiltVoiceConfig { voiceName = "Puck" }
+                  }
+              },
+              speakerVoiceConfig {
+                  speaker = "Guest"
+                  voiceConfig = voiceConfig {
+                      prebuiltVoiceConfig = prebuiltVoiceConfig { voiceName = "Aoede" }
+                  }
+              }
+          )
+      }
+  }
+  ```
+- **Web**:
+  ```javascript
+  speechConfig: {
+    multiSpeakerVoiceConfig: {
+      speakerVoiceConfigs: [
+        {
+          speaker: "Host",
+          voiceConfig: { prebuiltVoiceConfig: { voiceName: "Puck" } }
+        },
+        {
+          speaker: "Guest",
+          voiceConfig: { prebuiltVoiceConfig: { voiceName: "Aoede" } }
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+  ```

+
+## Audio Directives and Emotional Tags
+
+Gemini TTS models accept natural-language directives and inline tags in prompts
+to control tone, cadence, pacing, and emotional expression.
+
+### Directives
+
+Include directives at the start of your prompt to set the overall tone and
+scene:
+
+- `[Audio Profile: Warm, conversational podcast co-host with energetic delivery]`
+- `[Scene: Quiet bedtime story in a calm room]`
+- `[Director's Note: Speak deliberately, pausing for reflection after major questions]`
+
+### Emotional Tags & Delivery Cues
+
+Embed delivery markers inline within dialogue or narration:
+
+- `[whispers]` — Soft, confidential whisper.
+- `[laughs]` / `[chuckles]` — Lighthearted laughter during delivery.
+- `[sighs]` — Expressive exhale.
+- `[slowly]` — Reduced tempo for emphasis or dramatic effect.
+- `[excited]` — Higher energy and faster pacing.
+- `[pause]` — Deliberate silence.
+
+### Multi-Speaker Prompt Example
+
+```text
+[Scene: A lively coffee-shop tech discussion]
+[Director's Note: Host is upbeat and curious; Guest is thoughtful and explanatory]
+
+Host: Welcome back! [excited] Today we are diving into client-side audio.
+Guest: [laughs] It's about time! No servers in between means virtually zero latency.
+Host: [whispers] Tell us the secret... how does it stream?
+Guest: [slowly] Pure linear PCM, chunk by chunk, directly to your device's audio engine.
+```
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## Audio Decoding and Playback
+
+### Format Specifications
+
+Gemini TTS audio format depends on whether the request is unary or streaming:
+
+- **Unary Requests (`generateContent`)**: Returns complete **WAV (`audio/wav`)**
+  audio with a standard 44-byte RIFF header included by default (24 kHz, mono,
+  16-bit signed little-endian PCM). These bytes can be passed directly to
+  standard media players (`AVAudioPlayer`, `MediaPlayer`, `<audio>`).
+
+- **Streaming Requests (`generateContentStream`)**: Returns headerless raw
+  **Linear PCM (`audio/l16; rate=24000; channels=1`)** chunks (24 kHz, mono,
+  16-bit signed little-endian PCM) so chunks can be streamed or concatenated
+  continuously without per-chunk container headers.
+
+- **Audio Parameters**:
+
+  - **Sample Rate**: 24,000 Hz (24 kHz)
+  - **Channels**: 1 channel (mono)
+  - **Bit Depth**: 16-bit linear PCM (little-endian signed integer)
+  - **MIME Types**: `audio/l16` (streaming chunks) or `audio/wav` /
+    `audio/x-wav` (unary)
+
+### Playback Approaches
+
+1. **Direct Low-Latency PCM Streaming**:
+   - Stream raw PCM chunks directly into low-level audio renderers without
+     waiting for the full response:
+     - **iOS**: `AVAudioEngine` + `AVAudioPlayerNode` scheduling
+       `AVAudioPCMBuffer`.
+     - **Android**: `AudioTrack` configured with `ENCODING_PCM_16BIT` and
+       `CHANNEL_OUT_MONO`.
+     - **Web**: Web Audio API (`AudioContext`) scheduling PCM chunks into
+       `AudioBufferSourceNode`.
+1. **WAV Container Format**:
+   - Standard media players (`AVAudioPlayer` on iOS, `MediaPlayer` on Android,
+     `<audio>` on Web) expect a container header (RIFF/WAV).
+   - For unary responses, the RIFF header is already present. For assembled
+     streaming PCM chunks, prepend a standard **44-byte RIFF header** to make
+     the complete audio immediately playable or saveable as `.wav`.
+
+#### Standard 44-Byte WAV (RIFF) Header Construction
+
+```
+Offset  Size  Field              Value
+0       4     ChunkID            "RIFF"
+4       4     ChunkSize          36 + Subchunk2Size (file size - 8)
+8       4     Format             "WAVE"
+12      4     Subchunk1ID        "fmt "
+16      4     Subchunk1Size      16 (for PCM)
+20      2     AudioFormat        1 (PCM linear)
+22      2     NumChannels        1 (Mono)
+24      4     SampleRate         24000
+28      4     ByteRate           48000 (SampleRate * NumChannels * BitsPerSample / 8)
+32      2     BlockAlign         2 (NumChannels * BitsPerSample / 8)
+34      2     BitsPerSample      16
+36      4     Subchunk2ID        "data"
+40      4     Subchunk2Size      Number of PCM bytes
+44+     N     Data               Raw PCM bytes

+## Best Practices & Troubleshooting
+
+- **Audio Session & Permissions**: On iOS and Android, make sure the app's audio
+  session/category is configured to allow playback (e.g.,
+  `AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback`).
+- **Buffering & Jitter Prevention**: When streaming audio chunks via
+  `generateContentStream`, queue buffers sequentially with exact timestamps or
+  frame offsets to avoid audio stutter or gaps.
+- **Model Compatibility**: TTS features require Gemini models with dedicated
+  audio synthesis capabilities (`gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview`). Do not use
+  standard text-only model IDs.
+- **App Check Protection**: Generating audio consumes quota. Protect your API
+  endpoints by enforcing App Check on every client build.

+## Prerequisites
 
-## Before running these commands, ensure you are authenticated: `npx -y firebase-tools@latest login` (or `npx -y firebase-tools@latest login --no-localhost` on remote servers)
+1. **Firebase CLI**: Make sure the Firebase CLI is available and authenticated.
 
-## 0. Create an Android application
+   For detailed instructions about the Firebase CLI, see
+   `firebase_basics/references/local-env-setup`. Here are high-level
+   instructions for setting up the Firebase CLI.
 
-if you haven't already created an android application, create one.
+   1. Ensure the Firebase CLI is available:
 
-## 1. Create a Firebase Project
+      ```bash
+      npx -y firebase-tools@latest --version
+      ```
 
-If you haven't already created a project, create a new cloud project with a
-unique ID:
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:create <UNIQUE_PROJECT_ID> --display-name '<DISPLAY_NAME>'`
-*Example:*
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:create my-cool-app-20260330 --display-name 'MyCoolApp'`
+   1. Login to the CLI:
+
+      - local:
+
+        ```bash
+        npx -y firebase-tools@latest login
+        ```
+
+      - remote servers:
+
+        ```bash
+        npx -y firebase-tools@latest login --no-localhost
+        ```
+
+1. **Android project**: Create or use an existing Android project in an
+   Android-development IDE.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 1. Check if the Android project is connected to a Firebase Project
+
+Check if the Android project already has a `google-services.json` file in its
+**module (app-level)** root directory.
+
+### `google-services.json` file is present
+
+If the Android project already has a `google-services.json` file, do NOT create
+a new Firebase project or re-register the app — skip steps 2 through 4 below.
+Instead, verify the existing Firebase setup within the codebase and fix anything
+that is missing:
+
+- The `google-services.json` file is in the **module (app-level)** root
+  directory: `app/google-services.json`
+
+- The Google services Gradle plugin (`google-services`) is added to *both* the
+  project-level and module (app-level) Gradle build files. If it is missing from
+  either file, add it by following step 5 below.
+
+### `google-services.json` file is NOT present
+
+If the Android project does NOT already have a `google-services.json` file, then
+proceed with the remaining steps in this guide.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 2. Create a new Firebase project or use an existing one
+
+Check if there's an existing Firebase Project available for use with the Android
+project:
+
+```bash
+npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:list
+```
+
+- **If existing Firebase Project:** Ask the human user if they want to use the
+  existing project.
+
+- **If no existing Firebase Project or human user does not want to use an
+  existing project:** Create a new Firebase Project.
+
+  Provide a required unique PROJECT_ID and an optional PROJECT_DISPLAY_NAME:
+
+  ```bash
+  npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:create <UNIQUE_PROJECT_ID> --display-name <PROJECT_DISPLAY_NAME>
+  ```
+
+  *Example:*
 
-### 2. Register Your Android App
+  ```bash
+  npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:create my-cool-app-20260330 --display-name MyCoolApp
+  ```
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 3. Register the Android project
+
+Register the app module (package name) of the Android project with the Firebase
+project. Provide an optional APP_DISPLAY_NAME and required PACKAGE_NAME:
+
+```bash
+npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID <APP_DISPLAY_NAME> --package-name <PACKAGE_NAME> --project <PROJECT_ID>
+```
 
-Link your Android app module (package name) to your project. Notice that the
-display name is passed as a positional argument at the end:
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID '<APP_DISPLAY_NAME>' --package-name '<PACKAGE_NAME>' --project <PROJECT_ID>`
 *Example:*
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID 'MyApplication' --package-name 'com.example.myapplication' --project my-cool-app-20260330`
 
-### 3. Download `google-services.json`
+```bash
+npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID MyApplication --package-name com.example.myapplication --project my-cool-app-20260330
+```
+
+NOTE: A package name is often referred to as an *application ID* within an
+Android project. Find an app's package name in the module (app-level) Gradle
+file, usually `app/build.gradle.kts`.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 4. Obtain and save `google-services.json`
+
+1. Fetch the Firebase configuration file (`google-services.json`) using the
+   Firebase Android APP_ID (which is printed in the output of the previous
+   `apps:create` command):
+
+   ```bash
+   npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:sdkconfig ANDROID <APP_ID> --project <PROJECT_ID>
+   ```
+
+1. Save the configuration file within the **module (app-level)** root directory
+   of the Android project: `app/google-services.json`
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 5. Add the `google-services` plugin
+
+> [!IMPORTANT] **[AGENT] RESOLVING THE PLUGIN VERSION DETERMINISTICALLY** Never

+> ```
+
+These changes are made to the Android project's Gradle files.
+
+### Project-level `build.gradle.kts` (`<project>/build.gradle.kts`)
+
+Add the latest version of the Google services Gradle plugin to the `plugins`

+}
+```
+
+### Module (app-level) `build.gradle.kts` (`<project>/<app-module>/build.gradle.kts`)
+
+Add the Google services Gradle plugin to the `plugins` block:

+## 6. App Check (Debug Token Persistence)
+
+When using App Check on Android emulators or local development,
+`DebugAppCheckProviderFactory.getInstance()` generates a UUID token and stores
+it in `SharedPreferences`. Wiping emulator data, clearing app storage, or fresh
+installs generate a new UUID in Logcat, causing debug token churn in the
+Firebase Console.
+
+> [!WARNING] **CRITICAL: Never Hardcode or Commit Debug Tokens** App Check debug
+> tokens allow clients to bypass attestation and access backend resources
+> without a genuine device. **Never hardcode debug token strings in
+> build.gradle.kts, Java, or Kotlin files, and never commit tokens to version
+> control.** If a token is compromised, revoke it immediately in the Firebase
+> Console.
+
+To persist a stable debug token across emulator resets and testing without
+committing secrets:
+
+1. Obtain or generate a stable UUID debug token and register it in the Firebase
+   Console under **Security > App Check > Apps > Manage debug tokens**.
+
+1. Store the token in your project's gitignored `local.properties`:
+
+   ```properties
+   # In local.properties (ensure this file is in your .gitignore!)
+   APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN=<YOUR_DEBUG_TOKEN>
+   ```
+
+1. Inject the secret in `app/build.gradle.kts` for instrumentation/testing:
+
+   ```kotlin
+   val localProperties = java.util.Properties().apply {
+       val localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file("local.properties")
+       if (localPropertiesFile.exists()) {
+           load(localPropertiesFile.inputStream())
+       }
+   }
+   val appCheckDebugToken = localProperties.getProperty("APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN")
+       ?: System.getenv("APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN") ?: ""
+
+   android {
+       defaultConfig {
+           // For normal emulator runs (injects into AndroidManifest)
+           manifestPlaceholders["firebaseAppCheckDebugSecret"] = appCheckDebugToken
+
+           // For instrumentation tests
+           if (appCheckDebugToken.isNotEmpty()) {
+               testInstrumentationRunnerArguments["firebaseAppCheckDebugSecret"] = appCheckDebugToken
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+1. In your application or activity, install the debug provider for debug builds:
+
+   ```kotlin
+   if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
+       Firebase.appCheck.installAppCheckProviderFactory(
+           DebugAppCheckProviderFactory.getInstance()

+## 4. App Check (Debug Token Persistence)
+
+When using App Check in local development or the iOS Simulator, the Firebase iOS

+
+To persist a stable debug token across simulator resets without committing
+secrets:
+
+1. Obtain or generate a stable UUID debug token and register it in the Firebase
+   Console under **Security > App Check > Apps > Manage debug tokens**.
+
+1. Supply `AppCheckDebugToken` via your local environment instead of hardcoding
+   it in code:
+
+   - **Xcode Scheme Environment Variables (Recommended):**
+
+     - Select **Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme...** (or `Cmd + <`).
+     - Navigate to **Run > Arguments > Environment Variables**.
+     - Add `AppCheckDebugToken = <YOUR_DEBUG_TOKEN>`.
+     - *Tip:* Keep your personal scheme unshared or ensure user scheme data
+       (`xcuserdata/`) is included in `.gitignore` so your personal debug token
+       is not committed.
+
+   - **In Code (Only with Secure / Gitignored Loading):** If setting the
+     environment variable in code before initializing
+     `AppCheckDebugProviderFactory`, load the token dynamically from a
+     gitignored local file or build configuration—never hardcode the raw token
+     string:
+
+     ```swift
+     #if DEBUG
+     // ⛔️ DO NOT hardcode literal tokens: setenv("AppCheckDebugToken", "secret-uuid", 0)
+     // ✅ SAFE: Load dynamically from a gitignored local file, xcconfig, or process environment
+     // Note: loadGitIgnoredDebugToken() is a placeholder for your custom helper (e.g., reading from a gitignored plist)
+     if let debugToken = loadGitIgnoredDebugToken() {
+       setenv("AppCheckDebugToken", debugToken, 0)
+     }
+     let providerFactory = AppCheckDebugProviderFactory()
+     AppCheck.setAppCheckProviderFactory(providerFactory)
+     #endif
+
+     FirebaseApp.configure() // Must be called AFTER setting the App Check provider factory
+     ```
+
+Setting this environment variable avoids invalidating tokens registered in the
+Firebase console by ensuring a consistent debug token is reused across simulator
+resets and fresh app installs.

-## Project and App Setup
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following. If a `google-services.json`
-file is present, then use that Firebase project and app. Otherwise you may need
-to create them.
-
-- **Firebase CLI**: Installed and logged in (see `firebase-basics`).
-- **Firebase Project**: Created via
-  `npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:create` (see `firebase-basics`).
-- **Firebase App**: Created via
-  `npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID <display-name> --package-name=<package-name>`
-
-The `google-services.json` file must be present in the Android app's module
-directory. If missing, get the config using the Firebase CLI:
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:sdkconfig ANDROID <App-ID>`.

-## Project and App Setup
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following. If a `google-services.json`
-file is present, then use that Firebase project and app. Otherwise you may need
-to create them.
-
-- **Firebase CLI**: Installed and logged in (see `firebase-basics`).
-- **Firebase Project**: Created via
-  `npx -y firebase-tools@latest projects:create` (see `firebase-basics`).
-- **Firebase App**: Created via
-  `npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:create ANDROID <display-name> --package-name=<package-name>`
-
-The `google-services.json` file must be present in the Android app's module
-directory. If missing, get the config using the Firebase CLI:
-`npx -y firebase-tools@latest apps:sdkconfig ANDROID <App-ID>`.

-       // ... other dependencies
-
-       // Import the Firebase BoM
-       implementation(platform("com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:<latest_bom_version>"))
-
-       // Add the dependencies for Remote Config and Analytics

    ```
 
-## Follow up Steps
-
-The following steps cover the essential patterns for using Remote Config
-effectively.
-
-### Set In-App Defaults
-
-Define default values so your app has functional logic before it ever fetches a
-template from the server. Create an XML file (e.g.,
-`res/xml/remote_config_defaults.xml`):
-```xml
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
-<!-- Example Remote Config Defaults File -->
-<defaultsMap>
-    <entry>
-        <key>welcome_message</key>
-        <value>Welcome to the app!</value>
-    </entry>
-    <entry>
-        <key>is_feature_enabled</key>
-        <value>false</value>
-    </entry>
-</defaultsMap>
-```
-
-Then, initialize the SDK in your Activity or Application class:
-
-```kotlin
-import com.google.firebase.Firebase
-import com.google.firebase.remoteconfig.remoteConfig
-
-val remoteConfig = Firebase.remoteConfig
-remoteConfig.setDefaultsAsync(R.xml.remote_config_defaults)
-```

+This skill targets Genkit Dart **1.0** (`genkit: ^1.0.0`). Older code and
+training data use pre-1.0 names that no longer compile; the common ones:
+
+- HTTP: `startFlowServer` / per-route `shelfHandler` / `shelf_cors_headers` are
+  now `GenkitRouter` + `serve()` or `asShelfHandler()`, with `CorsOptions`;
+  context providers take `RequestData` ([genkit_shelf.md](references/genkit_shelf.md)).
+- `StatusCodes.UNAUTHENTICATED` is `StatusCode.unauthenticated` (lowerCamelCase,
+  same for `EvalStatus.pass`, `ToolChoice.required`).
+- No `RetryPlugin`; `retry()` is built in and takes `Duration`s
+  (`initialDelay`, `maxDelay`, also `cacheTtl` elsewhere).
+- Renames: `GenerateResponseHelper` -> `GenerateResult` (`modelResponse`,
+  `chunk.modelChunk`), `ExecutablePrompt` -> `Prompt<Input, Output>`,
+  `embedMany` -> `embed`, `ToolFnArgs` -> `ToolFnArg`, `toolOutputSchema` ->
+  `outputSchema`, `underlyingException` -> `cause`, `modelInfo:` -> `info:`,
+  `RemoteAction.dispose()` -> `close()`, `prompt(input, PromptGenerateOptions(config: ...))`
+  -> `prompt(input, config: ...)` (named options, like `generate`), `defineMiddleware` ->
+  `ai.defineGenerateMiddleware` (app) / `generateMiddleware` (plugins).
+- Provider config types are prefixed: `GeminiThinkingConfig`,
+  `GeminiSafetySettings`, `GeminiGoogleSearch`, `GeminiSpeechConfig`,
+  `GoogleGenAiEmbedderOptions`, `AnthropicThinkingConfig`.
+- Removed: `ToolInterruptException` / `ctx.interrupt()` (return `.interrupt(...)`),
+  `GoogleAiModels` / `OpenAIModels` constants (use `googleAI.gemini('...')`,
+  `openAI.model('...')`). Simulated constrained output is opt-in via
+  `simulateConstrainedGeneration()`.

-## CORS for browser clients
-
-A browser `remoteAgent` calling a different origin (e.g. a Jaspr/Flutter web dev
-server on another port) needs CORS. **Streaming requires the
-`X-Genkit-Stream-Id` header** to be allowed. Use `shelf_cors_headers`.
+Without shelf, skip the `Router` and call
+`api.serve(cors: const CorsOptions(...))`; pass `path: '/api/weatherAgent'` to
+`addAgent` to keep the `/api` prefix.
 
-```dart
-import 'dart:io';
+## Auth
 
-import 'package:shelf/shelf.dart';
-import 'package:shelf/shelf_io.dart' as io;
-import 'package:shelf_cors_headers/shelf_cors_headers.dart';
-
-final handler = const Pipeline()
-    .addMiddleware(logRequests())
-    .addMiddleware(
-      corsHeaders(
-        headers: {
-          'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
-          'Access-Control-Allow-Headers':
-              'Content-Type, Accept, X-Genkit-Stream-Id',
-          'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, POST, OPTIONS',
-        },
-      ),
-    )
-    .addHandler(router.call);
+`addAgent(agent, contextProvider: bearerAuth)` applies the provider to every
+route of that agent, so reading or aborting a snapshot is authorized like a
+turn. See [genkit_shelf.md](genkit_shelf.md#auth-contextprovider).
 
-final port = int.tryParse(Platform.environment['PORT'] ?? '') ?? 8080;
-final server = await io.serve(handler, InternetAddress.anyIPv4, port);
-print('Agents API server running on http://localhost:${server.port}');
-```
-
-## Exposing plain flows
-
-Agents are just actions, so you can serve ordinary flows the same way — e.g.
-helper endpoints used by a UI:
+## CORS for browser clients
 
-```dart
-router.post('/api/workspace/files', shelfHandler(listWorkspaceFiles));
-router.post('/api/workspace/file', shelfHandler(readWorkspaceFile));
-```
+Pass `CorsOptions` to `serve()` / `asShelfHandler()` (no `shelf_cors_headers`).
+Browser streaming clients send `X-Genkit-Stream-Id`, which is **not** in the
+default `allowedHeaders`, so list it explicitly as above.
 
 ## Registering agents/flows
 
 Agents register with Genkit when their defining top-level `final` is evaluated.
 Importing the module (e.g. in your server's `bin/server.dart`) and referencing
-the agent — as `mountAgent(...)` does — ensures the `defineAgent` call runs.

+## Custom Middleware (core `package:genkit`)
+
+Extend `GenerateMiddleware` and override the hooks you need (`generate`,
+`model`, `tool`). Register it with `ai.defineGenerateMiddleware` and call the
+returned definition to build the ref for `use:`. `create` runs once per
+`generate` call; `ctx.ai` is a `GenkitAI` the middleware can use for its own
+calls (classifiers, guardrails).
+
+```dart
+class LoggingMiddleware extends GenerateMiddleware {
+  @override
+  Future<ModelResponse> model(
+    ModelRequest request,
+    ActionFnArg<ModelResponseChunk, ModelRequest, void> ctx,
+    Future<ModelResponse> Function(
+      ModelRequest request,
+      ActionFnArg<ModelResponseChunk, ModelRequest, void> ctx,
+    ) next,
+  ) async {
+    print('Calling the model with ${request.messages.length} messages');
+    return next(request, ctx);
+  }
+}
+
+final logging = ai.defineGenerateMiddleware<void>(
+  name: 'logging',
+  create: (config, ctx) => LoggingMiddleware(),
+);
+
+await ai.generate(prompt: 'Hello', use: [logging(), retry(maxRetries: 2)]);
+```
+
+For typed config, pass `configSchema: MyOptions.$schema` (a schemantic type)
+and call `logging(MyOptions(...))`.
+
+To ship middleware in a plugin, build the definition with the top-level
+`generateMiddleware` (it does not register anything) and return it from
+`GenkitPlugin.middleware()`. The definition is callable, so a named-parameter
+helper is a one-liner:
+
+```dart
+final loggerDef = generateMiddleware<LoggerOptions>(
+  name: 'logger',
+  configSchema: LoggerOptions.$schema,
+  create: (config, ctx) => LoggerMiddleware(verbose: config?.verbose ?? false),
+);
+
+class LoggerPlugin extends GenkitPlugin {
+  @override
+  String get name => 'logger';
+
+  @override
+  List<GenerateMiddlewareDef> middleware() => [loggerDef];
+}
+
+GenerateMiddlewareRef<LoggerOptions> logger({bool? verbose}) =>
+    loggerDef(LoggerOptions(verbose: verbose));
+```
+
+There is no `defineMiddleware`. Prefer calling the definition over
+`middlewareRef(name: ...)`, which is only needed to reference middleware by
+name without its definition.

+
+## Auth: `contextProvider`
+
+A `ContextProvider` gets a framework-neutral `RequestData` (lowercased
+`headers`, `method`, parsed `input`) and returns the action context
+(`ctx.context` in the flow). A thrown `GenkitException` is answered with its
+status; anything else with `403`.
+
+```dart
+Future<Map<String, dynamic>> bearerAuth(RequestData request) async {
+  final user = await checkUserToken(request.headers['authorization']);
+  if (user == null) {
+    throw GenkitException('Unauthorized', status: StatusCode.unauthenticated); // 401
+  }
+  return {'userId': user.id};
 }
 ```
 
-Access deployed flows using genkit client libraries (from Dart or JS).
+## Agents
+
+`addAgent` (from `package:genkit/experimental_io.dart`) mounts the turn route
+plus the `/getSnapshot` and `/abort` companions the agent supports. See
+[agents-deployment.md](agents-deployment.md).
+
+## CORS
+
+`CorsOptions()` defaults: any origin, `Content-Type` + `Authorization`
+request headers, exposes `x-genkit-trace-id` / `x-genkit-span-id`. Browser
+streaming clients (JS `remoteAgent`/`streamFlow`) also send
+`X-Genkit-Stream-Id`, so add it to `allowedHeaders` for those.
+
+## Older clients
+
+Streamed failures end with a `data: {"error": ...}` frame. Dart/Flutter clients
+on `package:genkit` 0.17 or earlier only understand the older frame; while such
+clients are in the field, use `GenkitRouter(sendLegacyErrorFrame: true)` (also
+on `shelfHandler`/`ioHandler`).
+
+Consume served endpoints with `defineRemoteAction` / `defineRemoteModel`
+(`package:genkit/client.dart`), `remoteAgent`, or the JS client.

+
+- **Auth:** Application Default Credentials. Locally run
+  `gcloud auth application-default login`; on Cloud Run and other Google Cloud
+  runtimes it is automatic. The account needs `roles/aiplatform.user`.
+- **No API key.** For API-key access use `genkit_google_genai` (`googleAI()`).
+- `authClient:` takes your own authenticated `http.Client`; the plugin never
+  closes it.

+`gemini-3.5-flash-lite`, ...). The Gemini API's `-latest` aliases
+(`gemini-flash-latest`, `gemini-pro-latest`) **do not exist on Vertex** and

+    outputDimensionality: 256,
+    taskType: 'RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT',
+  ),
+);
+```
+
+`multimodalembedding` embeds text, images and video (`MediaPart` with a `data:`,
+`gs://` or `https` URL plus `contentType`). One document can yield several
+embeddings (one per modality / video segment); map them back with
+`embedding.metadata?['documentIndex']`, `['modality']`, `['partIndex']`,

+## 1.0 vs pre-1.0 APIs
+
+This skill targets Genkit Dart **1.0** (`genkit: ^1.0.0`). Older code and
+training data use pre-1.0 names that no longer compile; the common ones:
+
+- HTTP: `startFlowServer` / per-route `shelfHandler` / `shelf_cors_headers` are
+  now `GenkitRouter` + `serve()` or `asShelfHandler()`, with `CorsOptions`;
+  context providers take `RequestData` ([genkit_shelf.md](references/genkit_shelf.md)).
+- `StatusCodes.UNAUTHENTICATED` is `StatusCode.unauthenticated` (lowerCamelCase,
+  same for `EvalStatus.pass`, `ToolChoice.required`).
+- No `RetryPlugin`; `retry()` is built in and takes `Duration`s
+  (`initialDelay`, `maxDelay`, also `cacheTtl` elsewhere).
+- Renames: `GenerateResponseHelper` -> `GenerateResult` (`modelResponse`,
+  `chunk.modelChunk`), `ExecutablePrompt` -> `Prompt<Input, Output>`,
+  `embedMany` -> `embed`, `ToolFnArgs` -> `ToolFnArg`, `toolOutputSchema` ->
+  `outputSchema`, `underlyingException` -> `cause`, `modelInfo:` -> `info:`,
+  `RemoteAction.dispose()` -> `close()`, `prompt(input, PromptGenerateOptions(config: ...))`
+  -> `prompt(input, config: ...)` (named options, like `generate`), `defineMiddleware` ->
+  `ai.defineGenerateMiddleware` (app) / `generateMiddleware` (plugins).
+- Provider config types are prefixed: `GeminiThinkingConfig`,
+  `GeminiSafetySettings`, `GeminiGoogleSearch`, `GeminiSpeechConfig`,
+  `GoogleGenAiEmbedderOptions`, `AnthropicThinkingConfig`.
+- Removed: `ToolInterruptException` / `ctx.interrupt()` (return `.interrupt(...)`),
+  `GoogleAiModels` / `OpenAIModels` constants (use `googleAI.gemini('...')`,
+  `openAI.model('...')`). Simulated constrained output is opt-in via
+  `simulateConstrainedGeneration()`.

-## CORS for browser clients
-
-A browser `remoteAgent` calling a different origin (e.g. a Jaspr/Flutter web dev
-server on another port) needs CORS. **Streaming requires the
-`X-Genkit-Stream-Id` header** to be allowed. Use `shelf_cors_headers`.
+Without shelf, skip the `Router` and call
+`api.serve(cors: const CorsOptions(...))`; pass `path: '/api/weatherAgent'` to
+`addAgent` to keep the `/api` prefix.
 
-```dart
-import 'dart:io';
+## Auth
 
-import 'package:shelf/shelf.dart';
-import 'package:shelf/shelf_io.dart' as io;
-import 'package:shelf_cors_headers/shelf_cors_headers.dart';
-
-final handler = const Pipeline()
-    .addMiddleware(logRequests())
-    .addMiddleware(
-      corsHeaders(
-        headers: {
-          'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
-          'Access-Control-Allow-Headers':
-              'Content-Type, Accept, X-Genkit-Stream-Id',
-          'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, POST, OPTIONS',
-        },
-      ),
-    )
-    .addHandler(router.call);
+`addAgent(agent, contextProvider: bearerAuth)` applies the provider to every
+route of that agent, so reading or aborting a snapshot is authorized like a
+turn. See [genkit_shelf.md](genkit_shelf.md#auth-contextprovider).
 
-final port = int.tryParse(Platform.environment['PORT'] ?? '') ?? 8080;
-final server = await io.serve(handler, InternetAddress.anyIPv4, port);
-print('Agents API server running on http://localhost:${server.port}');
-```
-
-## Exposing plain flows
-
-Agents are just actions, so you can serve ordinary flows the same way — e.g.
-helper endpoints used by a UI:
+## CORS for browser clients
 
-```dart
-router.post('/api/workspace/files', shelfHandler(listWorkspaceFiles));
-router.post('/api/workspace/file', shelfHandler(readWorkspaceFile));
-```
+Pass `CorsOptions` to `serve()` / `asShelfHandler()` (no `shelf_cors_headers`).
+Browser streaming clients send `X-Genkit-Stream-Id`, which is **not** in the
+default `allowedHeaders`, so list it explicitly as above.
 
 ## Registering agents/flows
 
 Agents register with Genkit when their defining top-level `final` is evaluated.
 Importing the module (e.g. in your server's `bin/server.dart`) and referencing
-the agent — as `mountAgent(...)` does — ensures the `defineAgent` call runs.
+the agent, as `addAgent(...)` does, ensures the `defineAgent` call runs. Agents
+referenced only by name (e.g. sub-agents for `agents(...)` middleware) must be

+## Custom Middleware (core `package:genkit`)
+
+Extend `GenerateMiddleware` and override the hooks you need (`generate`,
+`model`, `tool`). Register it with `ai.defineGenerateMiddleware` and call the
+returned definition to build the ref for `use:`. `create` runs once per
+`generate` call; `ctx.ai` is a `GenkitAI` the middleware can use for its own
+calls (classifiers, guardrails).
+
+```dart
+class LoggingMiddleware extends GenerateMiddleware {
+  @override
+  Future<ModelResponse> model(
+    ModelRequest request,
+    ActionFnArg<ModelResponseChunk, ModelRequest, void> ctx,
+    Future<ModelResponse> Function(
+      ModelRequest request,
+      ActionFnArg<ModelResponseChunk, ModelRequest, void> ctx,
+    ) next,
+  ) async {
+    print('Calling the model with ${request.messages.length} messages');
+    return next(request, ctx);
+  }
+}
+
+final logging = ai.defineGenerateMiddleware<void>(
+  name: 'logging',
+  create: (config, ctx) => LoggingMiddleware(),
+);
+
+await ai.generate(prompt: 'Hello', use: [logging(), retry(maxRetries: 2)]);
+```
+
+For typed config, pass `configSchema: MyOptions.$schema` (a schemantic type)
+and call `logging(MyOptions(...))`.
+
+To ship middleware in a plugin, build the definition with the top-level
+`generateMiddleware` (it does not register anything) and return it from
+`GenkitPlugin.middleware()`. The definition is callable, so a named-parameter
+helper is a one-liner:
+
+```dart
+final loggerDef = generateMiddleware<LoggerOptions>(
+  name: 'logger',

-  final router = Router();
+Unknown paths get a `404`, so it also works in a shelf `Cascade`. To serve one
+action on a route of your choosing: `router.post('/myFlow', shelfHandler(flow, contextProvider: bearerAuth))`.
 
-  // Mount the flow handler at a specific path
-  router.post('/myFlow', shelfHandler(flow));
+## Own `dart:io` server
 
-  // Start the server
-  await io.serve(router.call, 'localhost', 8080);
+```dart
+final server = await HttpServer.bind(InternetAddress.anyIPv4, 8080);
+await for (final request in server) {
+  if (await genkit.handleHttpRequest(request, basePath: '/api')) continue;
+  // ... your own routes; or ioHandler(action) for a single action
+  request.response
+    ..statusCode = HttpStatus.notFound
+    ..close();
+}
+```
+
+Other frameworks: adapt the framework-neutral `GenkitRouter.handle` /
+`actionHandler` (`GenkitHttpRequest` -> `GenkitHttpResponse`), plus `withCors`.
+
+## Auth: `contextProvider`
+
+A `ContextProvider` gets a framework-neutral `RequestData` (lowercased
+`headers`, `method`, parsed `input`) and returns the action context
+(`ctx.context` in the flow). A thrown `GenkitException` is answered with its
+status; anything else with `403`.
+
+```dart
+Future<Map<String, dynamic>> bearerAuth(RequestData request) async {
+  final user = await checkUserToken(request.headers['authorization']);
+  if (user == null) {
+    throw GenkitException('Unauthorized', status: StatusCode.unauthenticated); // 401
+  }
+  return {'userId': user.id};
 }
 ```
 
-Access deployed flows using genkit client libraries (from Dart or JS).
+## Agents
+
+`addAgent` (from `package:genkit/experimental_io.dart`) mounts the turn route
+plus the `/getSnapshot` and `/abort` companions the agent supports. See
+[agents-deployment.md](agents-deployment.md).
+
+## CORS
+
+`CorsOptions()` defaults: any origin, `Content-Type` + `Authorization`
+request headers, exposes `x-genkit-trace-id` / `x-genkit-span-id`. Browser
+streaming clients (JS `remoteAgent`/`streamFlow`) also send
+`X-Genkit-Stream-Id`, so add it to `allowedHeaders` for those.
+
+## Older clients
+
+Streamed failures end with a `data: {"error": ...}` frame. Dart/Flutter clients
+on `package:genkit` 0.17 or earlier only understand the older frame; while such
+clients are in the field, use `GenkitRouter(sendLegacyErrorFrame: true)` (also
+on `shelfHandler`/`ioHandler`).
+
+Consume served endpoints with `defineRemoteAction` / `defineRemoteModel`
+(`package:genkit/client.dart`), `remoteAgent`, or the JS client.

+# Genkit Vertex AI Plugin (`genkit_vertexai`)
+
+Gemini models and embedders through Vertex AI (Gemini Enterprise API), with
+Google Cloud authentication instead of an API key. Same model surface and option
+types as [genkit_google_genai](genkit_google_genai.md), which it re-exports
+(`GeminiOptions`, `GeminiThinkingConfig`, `GoogleGenAiEmbedderOptions`, ...).
+
+```bash
+dart pub add genkit genkit_vertexai
+```
+
+## Setup
+
+```dart
+import 'package:genkit/genkit.dart';
+import 'package:genkit_vertexai/genkit_vertexai.dart';
+
+void main() async {
+  final ai = Genkit(
+    plugins: [
+      vertexAI(
+        projectId: 'my-project', // default: $GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT / $GCLOUD_PROJECT
+        location: 'us-central1', // default: 'global'
+      ),
+    ],
+  );
+
+  final response = await ai.generate(
+    model: vertexAI.gemini('gemini-3.6-flash'),
+    prompt: 'Tell me a joke about a developer.',
+    use: [retry()],
+  );
+  print(response.text);
+}
+```
+
+- **Auth:** Application Default Credentials. Locally run
+  `gcloud auth application-default login`; on Cloud Run and other Google Cloud
+  runtimes it is automatic. The account needs `roles/aiplatform.user`.
+- **No API key.** For API-key access use `genkit_google_genai` (`googleAI()`).
+- `authClient:` takes your own authenticated `http.Client`; the plugin never
+  closes it.
+
+## Model IDs
+
+Use versioned Vertex model IDs (`gemini-3.6-flash`, `gemini-3.1-pro-preview`,
+`gemini-3.5-flash-lite`, ...). The Gemini API's `-latest` aliases
+(`gemini-flash-latest`, `gemini-pro-latest`) **do not exist on Vertex** and
+fail at request time. Vertex TTS models use their own IDs (e.g.
+`gemini-2.5-flash-tts`), not the Gemini API TTS names.
+
+```dart
+final response = await ai.generate(
+  model: vertexAI.gemini('gemini-3.6-flash'),
+  prompt: 'What are the top tech news stories this week?',
+  config: GeminiOptions(
+    thinkingConfig: GeminiThinkingConfig(thinkingLevel: 'LOW'),
+    googleSearch: GeminiGoogleSearch(),
+  ),
+);
+```
+
+## Embeddings
+
+`text-embedding-*`, `gemini-embedding-*` and `multimodalembedding` all go
+through `vertexAI.textEmbedding`:
+
+```dart
+final embeddings = await ai.embed(
+  embedder: vertexAI.textEmbedding('gemini-embedding-001'),
+  documents: [DocumentData(content: [TextPart(text: 'Hello world')])],
+  options: GoogleGenAiEmbedderOptions(
+    outputDimensionality: 256,
+    taskType: 'RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT',
+  ),
+);
+```
+
+`multimodalembedding` embeds text, images and video (`MediaPart` with a `data:`,
+`gs://` or `https` URL plus `contentType`). One document can yield several
+embeddings (one per modality / video segment); map them back with
+`embedding.metadata?['documentIndex']`, `['modality']`, `['partIndex']`,
+`['segmentIndex']`.

+# Reporting feedback to Mastra
+
+Report verified Mastra bugs and concrete documentation defects to the Mastra team. Reports go straight to the team's issue tracker to help drive fixes. Submit one HTTP POST autonomously when the criteria below are met, without asking permission per report. Skip automatic reporting when a finding remains unverified or its relevance is unclear; do not interrupt the user merely to classify it. Respect any instruction not to report.
+
+## What to report
+
+| Report | Don't report |
+| --- | --- |
+| Reproducible unexpected Mastra behavior verified against the current version: wrong output, crashes, or type errors, including CLI, codemod, and upgrade failures. A concrete reproduction is useful even when the root cause is unknown. | Unverified suspicions, guesses about intended behavior, or errors in the user's own code. |
+| Missing, wrong, or contradictory documentation or skill instructions that affected the task, including non-obvious workarounds for verified Mastra issues, with evidence of what was missing or incorrect. | Style opinions, general questions, or claims without concrete evidence. |
+
+Expected rate limits, exhausted credits, configuration mistakes, and validation or unsupported-provider errors are not bugs unless you have concrete evidence of a Mastra defect. Incorrect documentation or misleading diagnostics that caused the mistake may qualify independently. A workaround or recurring failure alone does not establish a Mastra defect.
+
+Distinguish a documented limitation from a defect. Do not submit feature requests, including capabilities the user wants to build. Help draft a feature request when asked, but leave review and submission to a human. Do not relabel unsupported capabilities as bugs, documentation gaps, or `other` to bypass this rule.
+
+For source-only findings, identify the expected contract and trace the relevant path far enough to establish a contradiction. A missing check, assignment, or cleanup in one function is not sufficient if another layer could provide it. If that remains unresolved, skip automatic submission. A live reproduction is not required to establish a deterministic source defect or documentation mismatch.
+
+Distinguish Mastra defects from upstream dependency failures and unresolved compatibility boundaries. Report an upstream failure only when concrete impact on a Mastra integration is established, and identify the upstream ownership rather than presenting it as a Mastra-owned defect. Include exact dependency versions when they affect the finding; omit unrelated dependencies.
+
+An explicit user request to report a bug or documentation defect is itself authorization: report it and state in `note` what was and wasn't verified. Do not present an unverified claim as a confirmed defect.
+
+## How to report
+
+Retain only anonymized facts for feedback, not raw project material. Replace customer, repository, and project names with generic descriptions before collecting a feedback candidate. Do not retain or submit application source code, raw logs, local paths, private URLs, secrets, personal information, or project-specific identifiers as feedback. Keep public Mastra API names, package versions, and concise descriptions of errors when relevant.
+
+Build a JSON body from those anonymized facts. Start `note` with one short sentence naming the affected component and concrete failure or documentation defect; this opening becomes the issue title. Put versions, setup, and verification details afterward, not in a leading "Goal" or package list. Then describe the user's intended outcome and observed impact: blocked progress, a workaround, an incorrect result, or a minor inconvenience. Distinguish behavior observed during the task, a reproduction you actually tested, and explanations inferred from source inspection. Source inspection alone does not prove a runtime symptom. Do not present an inference as a verified explanation or generalize beyond the evidence: duplicate acknowledgement does not prove duplicate execution, stale suspension acceptance does not prove cross-resource disclosure, and passing typecheck does not prove runtime correctness. Omit speculative consequences, unrelated questions, and requests to build additional capabilities.
+
+Include the relevant operation and input shape, what you tried, and what happened. For bugs, give the smallest known reproduction in anonymized prose: relevant package versions, necessary setup, steps, and expected versus observed results. Summarize any attempted workaround and its outcome. State whether the reproduction was actually tested; never invent steps or imply a successful reproduction you did not run. Use evidence already gathered during the task—do not launch an extended investigation solely to file feedback.
+
+This hypothetical bug example illustrates the shape, not a verified finding; replace it with your actual finding and installed package versions before submitting.
+
+```json
+{
+  "category": "bug",
+  "note": "Symptom: a two-step workflow returned the value from the first step instead of the final value. Goal: return the final result of both steps. Setup: two sequential steps accepting and returning an object with a numeric value, without tools or external services. Reproduction: run with value 0; the first step adds 1 and the second adds 2. Expected final value 3; observed value 1 on three tested runs, preventing use of the final result. Workaround tried: combine both additions into one step; this returned value 3. Root cause unknown."
+}
+```
+
+Send the body as JSON (the command below uses that same illustrative body):
+
+```bash
+curl -i -X POST https://mastra.ai/api/feedback \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"category":"bug","note":"Symptom: a two-step workflow returned the value from the first step instead of the final value. Goal: return the final result of both steps.

+- `category` is required: use `bug` or `docs` under this skill. The endpoint also accepts `feature_request` and `other`, but those are outside this skill's submission policy.
+- `note` is required: 20–4,000 characters. Include what was attempted, expected versus observed behavior, and minimal anonymized context such as Mastra package versions, public API names, a prose reproduction, or a concise description of the error.
+- `url` is optional, at most 2,048 characters. Only include an actually encountered public Mastra documentation URL identifying the affected documentation, without private query parameters or identifiers; never invent, fetch, or validate a URL just to submit feedback. Omit it when none is available.
+- Keep the entire JSON body within 16 KiB. Send no other fields: never add email, ratings, agent names, or IDs as body fields.
+- Before sending, check both `note` and `url` against the privacy rules above. If useful evidence cannot be shared safely, skip automatic reporting.
+
+Submit while the evidence is in hand:
+
+- Send one report per distinct issue. Check the current task or conversation for an earlier submission about the same underlying failure, not just matching wording or symptoms. New evidence, affected versions, a better explanation, or another workaround belong with the existing report, not a fresh submission. Retain those facts with any prior report ID available in context for follow-up; do not invent an ID, claim a global duplicate check, or POST again as an update.
+- Keep each report focused on one independently actionable bug or documentation defect. Do not submit separate bug and docs reports for the same underlying finding unless they require independent fixes.
+- `201` means created; `200` with `duplicate: true` means already reported. Either is success; do not send it again.
+- A non-2xx response is not a successful submission. Fix an actual request mistake once if identified; otherwise stop. Never reword a report or loop to force a different result, and do not claim delivery without a success response.

+This endpoint reports to the Mastra team; it is unrelated to Mastra's read-only observability Feedback API for querying trace feedback.

Use it first for aggregate agent-health questions: what users ask for, where outcomes fail or get blocked, which behaviors recur, how sentiment shifts, and where the agent can improve.

-- Switching database providers
-- Configuring connection strings and environment variables
-- Troubleshooting database connection issues
-- Setting up database-specific features

-
-## Rule Categories by Priority
-
-| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
-|----------|----------|--------|--------|
-| 1 | Provider Guides | CRITICAL | provider names |
-| 2 | Prisma Postgres | HIGH | `prisma-postgres` |
-| 3 | Client Setup | CRITICAL | `prisma-client-setup` |
-
-## System Prerequisites
-
-- **Node.js 20.19.0+**
-- **TypeScript 5.4.0+**
-
-## Bun Runtime
-
-If you're using Bun, run Prisma CLI commands with `bunx --bun prisma ...` so Prisma uses the Bun runtime instead of falling back to Node.js.
-
-## Supported Databases
-
-| Database | Provider String | Notes |
-|----------|-----------------|-------|
-| PostgreSQL | `postgresql` | Default, full feature support |
-| MySQL | `mysql` | Widespread support, some JSON diffs |
-| SQLite | `sqlite` | Local file-based, no enum/scalar lists |
-| MongoDB | `mongodb` | Mongo-specific workflow; do not apply SQL driver-adapter guidance |
-| SQL Server | `sqlserver` | Microsoft ecosystem |
-| CockroachDB | `cockroachdb` | Distributed SQL, Postgres-compatible |
-| Prisma Postgres | `postgresql` | Managed serverless database |
-
-## Configuration Files
-
-Your configuration shape depends on the provider and Prisma major version:
-
-1. **All providers** use **`prisma/schema.prisma`**.
-2. **Prisma 7 SQL setups** typically use **`prisma.config.ts`** for datasource URLs.
-3. **MongoDB projects should stay on Prisma 6.x**, keep `url = env("DATABASE_URL")` in the schema, and continue using the classic MongoDB setup.
-
-## Driver Adapters
-
-The standard SQL workflow uses a driver adapter. Choose the adapter and driver for your database and pass the adapter to `PrismaClient`.
-
-| Database | Adapter | JS Driver |
-|----------|---------|-----------|
-| PostgreSQL | `@prisma/adapter-pg` | `pg` |
-| CockroachDB | `@prisma/adapter-pg` | `pg` |
-| Prisma Postgres (Node.js) | `@prisma/adapter-pg` | `pg` |
-| Prisma Postgres (edge/serverless) | `@prisma/adapter-ppg` | `@prisma/ppg` |
-| MySQL / MariaDB | `@prisma/adapter-mariadb` | `mariadb` |
-| SQLite | `@prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3` | `better-sqlite3` |
-| SQLite (Turso/LibSQL) | `@prisma/adapter-libsql` | `@libsql/client` |
-| SQL Server | `@prisma/adapter-mssql` | `node-mssql` |
-
-MongoDB should not follow the Prisma 7 SQL adapter workflow. Use the latest Prisma 6.x release for MongoDB projects and do not install a SQL `@prisma/adapter-*` package for it.
-
-Example (PostgreSQL):
-
-```ts
-import 'dotenv/config'
-import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
-
-const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
-const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-```
-
-## Prisma Client Setup (Required)

-Prisma Client must be installed and generated for any database.
-
-1. Install Prisma CLI and Prisma Client:
-   ```bash
-   npm install prisma --save-dev
-   npm install @prisma/client
-   ```
-
-1. Add a generator block (`prisma-client` requires an explicit output path):
-   ```prisma
-   generator client {
-     provider = "prisma-client"
-     output   = "../generated"
-   }
-   ```
-
-1. Generate Prisma Client:
-   ```bash
-   npx prisma generate
-   ```
-
-1. For SQL providers, instantiate Prisma Client with the database-specific driver adapter:
-   ```typescript
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-1. Re-run `prisma generate` after every schema change.
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-### PostgreSQL
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "postgresql"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-### MySQL
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "mysql"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-### SQLite
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "sqlite"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-### MongoDB
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "mongodb"
-  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client-js"
-}
-```
-
-For MongoDB, stay on the latest Prisma 6.x line and keep the connection URL in `schema.prisma`. Do not move a MongoDB project to the Prisma 7 SQL adapter setup. If a MongoDB project asks about upgrading Prisma versions, route to the `prisma-mongodb-upgrade` skill (stay-on-v6 vs Prisma Next is the real decision; Prisma 7 is not an option).
-
-## Rule Files
-
-See individual rule files for detailed setup instructions:
-
-```
-references/postgresql.md
-references/mysql.md
-references/sqlite.md
-references/mongodb.md
-references/sqlserver.md
-references/cockroachdb.md
-references/prisma-postgres.md
-references/prisma-client-setup.md
-```
-
-## How to Use
-
-Choose the provider reference file for your database, then apply `references/prisma-client-setup.md` to complete client generation and adapter setup. For MongoDB, use `references/mongodb.md` instead of copying the SQL adapter examples or Prisma 7 config pattern.
+This compatibility entry contains no setup recipes. Keep it until consumers have migrated to the replacement.

-# CockroachDB Setup
-
-Configure Prisma with CockroachDB.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- CockroachDB cluster
-
-## 1. Schema Configuration
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "cockroachdb"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-## 2. Config Configuration
-
-In `prisma.config.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'
-
-export default defineConfig({
-  schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
-  datasource: {
-    url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
-  },
-})
-```
-
-## 3. Environment Variable
-
-In `.env`:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:password@host:26257/db?sslmode=verify-full"
-```
-
-Note: CockroachDB uses the PostgreSQL wire protocol, so the URL often looks like postgresql, but the provider **MUST** be `cockroachdb` in the schema to handle specific CRDB features correctly.
-
-## Driver Adapter
-
-Use a driver adapter for the standard SQL workflow. CockroachDB is PostgreSQL-compatible, so use the PostgreSQL adapter.
-
-1. Install adapter and driver:
-   ```bash
-   npm install @prisma/adapter-pg pg
-   ```
-
-2. Instantiate Prisma Client with the adapter:
-   ```typescript
-   import 'dotenv/config'
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-## ID Generation
-
-CockroachDB uses `BigInt` or `UUID` for IDs efficiently.
-
-```prisma
-model User {
-  id BigInt @id @default(autoincrement()) // Uses unique_rowid()
-}
-```
-
-Or using string UUIDs:
-
-```prisma
-model User {
-  id String @id @default(dbgenerated("gen_random_uuid()")) @db.Uuid
-}
-```
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### Schema Introspection
-Always use `provider = "cockroachdb"` to ensure correct type mapping during `db pull`.

-# MongoDB Setup
-
-MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release. Do not upgrade a MongoDB app to Prisma 7's SQL client path.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- MongoDB 4.2+
-- Replica Set configured (required for transactions)
-- Latest Prisma 6.x release, or your team's pinned Prisma 6 version
-- Node.js 20.19.0+
-- TypeScript 5.4.0+
-
-## 1. Schema Configuration
-
-Use the standard Prisma 6 MongoDB setup with `prisma-client-js`.
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "mongodb"
-  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client-js"
-}
-```
-
-### Driver Adapters
-
-Do **not** apply the Prisma 7 SQL adapter setup here. MongoDB does not use a SQL `@prisma/adapter-*` package.
-
-### ID Field Requirement
-
-MongoDB models **must** have a mapped `_id` field using `@id` and `@map("_id")`, usually of type `String` with `auto()` and `db.ObjectId`.
-
-```prisma
-model User {
-  id    String @id @default(auto()) @map("_id") @db.ObjectId
-  email String @unique
-  name  String?
-}
-```
-
-### Relations
-
-Relations in MongoDB expect IDs to be `db.ObjectId` type.
-
-```prisma
-model Post {
-  id       String @id @default(auto()) @map("_id") @db.ObjectId
-  author   User   @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
-  authorId String @db.ObjectId
-}
-```
-
-## 2. Environment Variable
-
-In `.env`:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="mongodb+srv://user:password@cluster.mongodb.net/mydb?retryWrites=true&w=majority"
-```
-
-## Migrations vs Introspection
-
-- **No Migrations**: MongoDB is schema-less. `prisma migrate` commands **do not work**.
-- **db push**: Use `prisma db push` to sync indexes and constraints.
-- **db pull**: Use `prisma db pull` to generate schema from existing data (sampling).
-
-## Current Verification Notes
-
-- `prisma init --datasource-provider mongodb` is still implemented in Prisma's CLI source.
-- Prisma's upstream repo still contains MongoDB fixtures and tests.
-- Local verification shows Prisma 7 can still recognize MongoDB inputs, but the generated client path does not provide a supported MongoDB upgrade path.
-- Local verification shows Prisma 6.x works end to end with `prisma-client-js`, `prisma db push`, and `new PrismaClient()` against a MongoDB replica set.
-
-## Version Guidance
-
-- For MongoDB, stay on the latest available Prisma 6.x release.
-- Treat Prisma 7 MongoDB migration attempts as unsupported until Prisma ships a real MongoDB upgrade path.
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### "Transactions not supported"
-Ensure your MongoDB instance is a **Replica Set**. Standalone instances do not support transactions. Atlas clusters are replica sets by default.
-
-### "Invalid ObjectID"
-Ensure fields referencing IDs are decorated with `@db.ObjectId` if the target is an ObjectID.

-# MySQL Setup
-
-Configure Prisma with MySQL (or MariaDB).
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- MySQL or MariaDB database
-- Connection string
-
-## 1. Schema Configuration
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "mysql"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-## 2. Config Configuration
-
-In `prisma.config.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'
-
-export default defineConfig({
-  schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
-  datasource: {
-    url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
-  },
-})
-```
-
-## 3. Environment Variable
-
-In `.env`:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="mysql://user:password@localhost:3306/mydb"
-```
-
-### Connection String Format
-
-```
-mysql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE
-```
-
-- **USER**: Database user
-- **PASSWORD**: Password
-- **HOST**: Hostname
-- **PORT**: Port (default 3306)
-- **DATABASE**: Database name
-
-## Driver Adapter
-
-Use a driver adapter for the standard SQL workflow.
-
-1. Install adapter and driver:
-   ```bash
-   npm install @prisma/adapter-mariadb mariadb
-   ```
-
-2. Instantiate Prisma Client with the adapter:
-   ```typescript
-   import 'dotenv/config'
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaMariaDb } from '@prisma/adapter-mariadb'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaMariaDb({
-     host: 'localhost',
-     port: 3306,
-     connectionLimit: 5,
-     user: process.env.MYSQL_USER,
-     password: process.env.MYSQL_PASSWORD,
-     database: process.env.MYSQL_DATABASE,
-   })
-
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-### Text protocol option
-
-If you need the MariaDB driver's text protocol instead of the default binary `execute()` path, enable `useTextProtocol` explicitly:
-
-```typescript
-import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-import { PrismaMariaDb } from '@prisma/adapter-mariadb'
-
-const adapter = new PrismaMariaDb(process.env.DATABASE_URL!, {
-  useTextProtocol: true,
-})
-
-const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-```
-
-Use this only when you specifically need text-protocol compatibility for your MariaDB setup.
-
-## PlanetScale Setup
-
-PlanetScale uses MySQL but requires specific settings because it doesn't support foreign key constraints.
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider     = "mysql"
-  relationMode = "prisma" // Emulate foreign keys in Prisma
-}
-```
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### "Too many connections"
-MySQL has a connection limit. Adjust connection pool size in URL:
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="mysql://...?connection_limit=5"
-```
-
-### JSON Support
-MySQL 5.7+ supports JSON. MariaDB 10.2+ supports JSON (as an alias for LONGTEXT with check constraints). Prisma handles this, but verify your version.

-# Prisma Client Setup
-
-Generate and instantiate Prisma Client for Prisma's standard SQL provider workflow. For MongoDB, follow the provider-specific notes in `references/mongodb.md` instead of copying the SQL adapter example below.
-
-## 1. Install dependencies
-
-```bash
-npm install prisma --save-dev
-npm install @prisma/client
-```
-
-## 2. Add generator block
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-`prisma-client` requires an explicit `output` path and does not generate into `node_modules` by default.
-
-## 3. Generate Prisma Client
-
-```bash
-npx prisma generate
-```
-
-Re-run `prisma generate` after every schema change to keep the client in sync.
-
-## 4. Instantiate Prisma Client
-
-```typescript
-import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
-
-const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
-const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-```
-
-If you change the generator `output`, update the import path to match. For the SQL provider workflow, replace `PrismaPg` with the adapter for your database.
-
-## 5. Use a single instance
-
-Each `PrismaClient` instance creates a connection pool. Reuse a single instance per app process to avoid exhausting database connections.

-# Prisma Postgres Setup
-
-Configure Prisma with Prisma Postgres (Managed).
-
-## Overview
-
-Prisma Postgres is a serverless, managed PostgreSQL database optimized for Prisma.
-
-## Setup via CLI
-
-You can provision a Prisma Postgres instance directly via the CLI:
-
-```bash
-prisma init --db
-```
-
-This will:
-1. Log you into Prisma Data Platform.
-2. Create a new project and database instance.
-3. Update your `.env` with the connection string.
-
-## Connection String
-
-For Prisma CLI flows and Accelerate-style usage, you may see a `prisma+postgres://` URL.
-
-For Prisma Client with a driver adapter in Node.js, prefer the direct TCP connection string from the Prisma Postgres dashboard:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="postgres://identifier:key@db.prisma.io:5432/postgres?sslmode=require"
-```
-
-## 1. Schema Configuration
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "postgresql" // Use postgresql provider
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-## 2. Config Configuration
-
-In `prisma.config.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'
-
-export default defineConfig({
-  schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
-  datasource: {
-    url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
-  },
-})
-```
-
-## Driver Adapter
-
-Use a driver adapter for Prisma Postgres in the standard SQL workflow.
-
-### Recommended for standard Node.js apps
-
-1. Install adapter and driver:
-   ```bash
-   npm install @prisma/adapter-pg pg
-   ```
-
-2. Use the direct TCP connection string from Prisma Console:
-   ```typescript
-   import 'dotenv/config'
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-`PrismaPg` also accepts the connection string directly:
-
-```typescript
-const adapter = new PrismaPg(process.env.DATABASE_URL!)
-const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-```
-
-For PostgreSQL prepared statement naming, pass adapter options as the second argument:
-
-```typescript
-import { createHash } from 'node:crypto'
-
-const adapter = new PrismaPg(process.env.DATABASE_URL!, {
-  statementNameGenerator: ({ sql }) =>
-    `prisma_${createHash('sha1').update(sql).digest('hex').slice(0, 16)}`,
-})
-```
-
-### Edge/serverless option
-
-Use the Prisma Postgres serverless driver only when you need HTTP/WebSocket transport in environments like Workers or Edge Functions:
-
-```bash
-npm install @prisma/adapter-ppg @prisma/ppg
-```
-
-```typescript
-import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-import { PrismaPostgresAdapter } from '@prisma/adapter-ppg'
-
-const prisma = new PrismaClient({
-  adapter: new PrismaPostgresAdapter({
-    connectionString: process.env.PRISMA_DIRECT_TCP_URL,
-  }),
-})
-```
-
-This serverless driver is the specialized path for HTTP/WebSocket-based edge and serverless runtimes, not the default recommendation for standard Node.js apps.
-
-## Features
-
-- **Serverless**: Scales to zero.
-- **Caching**: Integrated query caching (Accelerate).
-- **Real-time**: Database events (Pulse).
-
-## Using with Prisma Client
-
-Use the Prisma Postgres adapter shown above when instantiating Prisma Client.

-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "sqlite"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"

-```
-
-### Connection String Format
-
-```

-```
-
-- **PATH**: Relative path to the database file. Check `prisma.config.ts` if you need to confirm how your app resolves it.
-
-## Driver Adapter
-
-Use a driver adapter for the standard SQL workflow.
-
-1. Install adapter and driver:
-   ```bash
-   npm install @prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3 better-sqlite3
-   ```
-
-2. Instantiate Prisma Client with the adapter:
-   ```typescript
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaBetterSqlite3 } from '@prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaBetterSqlite3({
-     url: process.env.DATABASE_URL ?? 'file:./dev.db',
-   })
-
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-## Using Driver Adapter (LibSQL / Turso)
-
-For edge compatibility or Turso:
-
-1. Install:
-   ```bash
-   npm install @prisma/adapter-libsql @libsql/client
-   ```
-
-2. Instantiate:
-   ```typescript
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaLibSql } from '@prisma/adapter-libsql'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaLibSql({
-     url: process.env.TURSO_DATABASE_URL,
-     authToken: process.env.TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN,
-   })
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-## Limitations
-
-- **No Enums**: SQLite doesn't support enums (Prisma polyfills them or treats as String).
-- **No Scalar Lists**: `String[]` is not supported directly.
-- **Concurrency**: Write operations lock the file.
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### "Database file not found"
-Ensure the path in `DATABASE_URL` is correct relative to where Prisma is running or the schema file. `file:./dev.db` creates it next to schema.

-   npm install @prisma/adapter-mssql mssql
-   ```
-
-2. Instantiate Prisma Client with the adapter:
-   ```typescript
-   import 'dotenv/config'
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaMssql } from '@prisma/adapter-mssql'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaMssql({
-     server: 'localhost',
-     port: 1433,
-     database: 'mydb',
-     user: process.env.SQLSERVER_USER,
-     password: process.env.SQLSERVER_PASSWORD,
-     options: {
-       encrypt: true,
-       trustServerCertificate: true,
-     },
-   })
-
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### "Login failed for user"
-- SQL Server auth vs Windows auth. Prisma typically uses SQL Server authentication (username/password).
-- Ensure TCP/IP is enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager.
-
-### "Table not found" (dbo schema)
-Prisma assumes `dbo` schema by default. If using another schema, update the model or connection string? SQL Server provider mostly sticks to default schema.

-Guidance for creating, managing, and integrating Prisma Postgres across interactive and programmatic workflows.
+Load `prisma-postgres-setup` with the host's skill loader or read its installed `SKILL.md`. If unavailable, install it from [prisma/skills](https://github.com/prisma/skills/tree/main/prisma-postgres-setup) before continuing.
 
-## When to Apply
-
-Reference this skill when:
-- Setting up Prisma Postgres from Prisma Console
-- Provisioning instant temporary databases with `create-db`
-- Linking an existing local project with `prisma postgres link`
-- Managing Prisma Postgres resources via Management API
-- Using `@prisma/management-api-sdk` in TypeScript/JavaScript
-- Handling claim URLs, connection strings, regions, and auth flows
-
-## Rule Categories by Priority
-
-| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
-|----------|----------|--------|--------|
-| 1 | CLI Provisioning | CRITICAL | `create-db-cli` |
-| 2 | Management API | CRITICAL | `management-api` |
-| 3 | Management API SDK | HIGH | `management-api-sdk` |
-| 4 | Console and Connections | HIGH | `console-and-connections` |
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-- `create-db-cli` - instant databases and current CLI flags (`--ttl`, `--copy`, `--quiet`, `--open`)
-- `management-api` - service token and OAuth API workflows
-- `management-api-sdk` - typed SDK usage with token storage
-- `console-and-connections` - Console operations, `prisma postgres link`, direct TCP connections, and serverless-driver choices
-
-## Core Workflows
-
-### 1. Console-first workflow
-
-Use Prisma Console for manual setup and operations:
-
-- Open `https://console.prisma.io`
-- Create/select workspace and project
-- Use Studio in the project sidebar to view/edit data
-- Retrieve direct connection details from the project UI
-
-### 2. Quick provisioning with create-db
-
-Use `create-db` when you need a database immediately:
-
-```bash
-npx create-db@latest
-```
-
-Aliases:
-
-```bash
-npx create-pg@latest
-npx create-postgres@latest
-```
-
-For app integrations, you can also use the programmatic API (`create()` / `regions()`) from the `create-db` npm package.
-
-Temporary databases auto-delete after ~24 hours unless claimed.
-
-### 2b. Persistent databases with the Platform CLI
-
-For databases that belong to a Project (not throwaway `create-db` databases), use `@prisma/cli`:
-
-```bash
-npx -y @prisma/cli@latest database create --help
-npx -y @prisma/cli@latest database list --json
-npx -y @prisma/cli@latest database connection create db_123
-npx -y @prisma/cli@latest database usage db_123
-npx -y @prisma/cli@latest database backup list db_123
-```
-
-`database create` and `database connection create` print a one-time connection URL; store it immediately. Destructive commands (`remove`, `restore`) require exact `--confirm <id>`.
-
-For automation, prefer `--json --no-interactive`, resolve ids before mutations, and verify the installed command's help because this CLI is beta.
-
-### 3. Link an existing local project
-
-Use `prisma postgres link` when the database already exists and you want to wire a local project to it:
-
-```bash
-prisma postgres link
-```
-
-For CI or other non-interactive environments:
-
-```bash
-prisma postgres link --api-key "<your-api-key>" --database "db_..."
-```
-
-This flow updates your local `.env` with `DATABASE_URL`, then you can run `prisma generate` and `prisma migrate dev`.
-
-### 4. Programmatic provisioning with Management API
-
-Use API endpoints on:
-
-```text
-https://api.prisma.io/v1
-```
-
-Explore the schema and endpoints using:
-
-- OpenAPI docs: `https://api.prisma.io/v1/doc`
-- Swagger Editor: `https://api.prisma.io/v1/swagger-editor`
-
-Auth options:
-
-- Service token (workspace server-to-server)
-- OAuth 2.0 (act on behalf of users)
-
-### 5. Type-safe integration with Management API SDK
-
-Install and use:
-
-```bash
-npm install @prisma/management-api-sdk
-```
-
-Use `createManagementApiClient` for existing tokens, or `createManagementApiSdk` for OAuth + token refresh.
-
-The SDK exposes typed workspace service-token list, create, and revoke routes. A newly created token value is returned exactly once. Let the installed SDK types or OpenAPI document settle exact beta endpoint shapes.
-
-## Rule Files
-
-Detailed guidance lives in:
-
-```
-references/console-and-connections.md
-references/create-db-cli.md
-references/management-api.md
-references/management-api-sdk.md
-```
-
-## How to Use
-
-Start with `references/create-db-cli.md` for fast setup, then switch to `references/management-api.md` or `references/management-api-sdk.md` when you need programmatic provisioning.
+This compatibility entry contains no setup recipes. Keep it until consumers have migrated to the replacement.

-# console-and-connections
-
-Use Prisma Console workflows for project visibility, data inspection, and connection setup.
-
-## Priority
-
-HIGH
-
-## Why It Matters
-
-Many Prisma Postgres tasks are quickest in the Console: viewing Studio data, checking metrics, and retrieving connection details. This avoids unnecessary API or CLI work for simple operational tasks.
-
-## Console workflow
-
-1. Open `https://console.prisma.io`.
-2. Select workspace and project.
-3. Use dashboard metrics for usage and billing visibility.
-4. Open the **Studio** tab in the sidebar to inspect and edit data.
-
-## Local Studio
-
-You can also inspect data locally:
-
-```bash
-npx prisma studio
-```
-
-## Linking an existing project
-
-If the Prisma Postgres database already exists, link the local project instead of provisioning a new one:
-
-```bash
-prisma postgres link
-```
-
-For CI or non-interactive usage:
-
-```bash
-prisma postgres link --api-key "<your-api-key>" --database "db_..."
-```
-
-This command updates or creates `.env` with `DATABASE_URL`. If the project is already linked, use `--force` to re-link. After linking, run `prisma generate`, then `prisma migrate dev` if you need to apply the schema.
-
-## Connection setup
-
-For direct PostgreSQL tools and drivers:
-
-- Generate/copy direct connection credentials from the project connection UI.
-- Use the resulting PostgreSQL URL as `DATABASE_URL` for `pg` and `@prisma/adapter-pg`.
-- For Prisma Postgres direct TCP, include `sslmode=require`.
-
-Typical direct TCP format:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="postgres://identifier:key@db.prisma.io:5432/postgres?sslmode=require"
-```
-
-Management API connection responses expose both `endpoints.direct` (`db.prisma.io:5432`) and `endpoints.pooled` (`pooled.db.prisma.io:5432`); prefer those fields over the deprecated flat `connectionString`. Connection secrets are shown once at creation (one-time view); store them immediately.
-
-## Adapter choices
-
-- Standard Node.js apps: prefer `@prisma/adapter-pg` with the direct TCP URL above.
-- Edge/serverless runtimes: use `@prisma/adapter-ppg` with `@prisma/ppg` only when you specifically need the Prisma Postgres serverless driver.

-# create-db-cli
-
-Use `create-db` for instant Prisma Postgres provisioning from the terminal.
-
-## Priority
-
-CRITICAL
-
-## Why It Matters
-
-`create-db` is the fastest way to get a working Prisma Postgres instance for development, demos, and CI previews. It can also emit machine-readable output and write env variables directly.
-
-## Commands
-
-```bash
-npx create-db@latest
-npx create-db@latest create [options]
-npx create-db@latest regions
-```
-
-Aliases:
-
-```bash
-npx create-pg@latest
-npx create-postgres@latest
-```
-
-## Command discovery (`--help`)
-
-Always use `--help` first when integrating CLI commands:
-
-```bash
-npx create-db@latest --help
-npx create-db@latest create --help
-npx create-db@latest regions --help
-```
-
-Top-level commands currently exposed:
-
-- `create` (default) to provision a database
-- `regions` to list available regions
-
-## `create` options
-
-| Flag | Shorthand | Description |
-|---|---|---|
-| `--region [string]` | `-r` | Region choice: `ap-southeast-1`, `ap-northeast-1`, `eu-central-1`, `eu-west-3`, `us-east-1`, `us-west-1` |
-| `--interactive [boolean]` | `-i` | Open region selector |
-| `--json [boolean]` | `-j` | Output machine-readable JSON |
-| `--env [string]` | `-e` | Write `DATABASE_URL` and `CLAIM_URL` into a target `.env` |
-| `--ttl [string]` | `-t` | Auto-delete after a TTL like `30m` or `1h-24h` |
-| `--copy [boolean]` | `-c` | Copy the connection string to the clipboard |
-| `--quiet [boolean]` | `-q` | Only print the connection string |
-| `--open [boolean]` | `-o` | Open the claim URL in your browser |
-
-## Lifecycle and claim flow
-
-- Databases are temporary by default.
-- Unclaimed databases are auto-deleted after ~24 hours.
-- Claim the database using the URL shown in command output to keep it permanently.
-
-## Programmatic usage (library API)
-
-You can also use `create-db` programmatically in Node.js/Bun instead of shelling out to the CLI.
-
-Install:
-
-```bash
-npm install create-db
-# or
-bun add create-db
-```
-
-Create a database:
-
-```ts
-import { create, isDatabaseSuccess, isDatabaseError } from "create-db";
-
-const result = await create({
-  region: "us-east-1",
-  userAgent: "my-app/1.0.0",
-});
-
-if (isDatabaseSuccess(result)) {
-  console.log(result.connectionString);
-  console.log(result.claimUrl);
-  console.log(result.deletionDate);
-}
-
-if (isDatabaseError(result)) {
-  console.error(result.error, result.message);
-}
-```
-
-List regions programmatically:
-
-```ts
-import { regions } from "create-db";
-
-const available = await regions();
-console.log(available);
-```
-
-Programmatic `create()` defaults to `us-east-1` if no region is passed.
-
-## Common patterns
-
-```bash
-# quick database
-npx create-db@latest
-
-# region-specific database
-npx create-db@latest --region eu-central-1
-
-# interactive region selection
-npx create-db@latest --interactive
-
-# write env vars for app bootstrap
-npx create-db@latest --env .env
-
-# auto-delete sooner
-npx create-db@latest --ttl 2h
-
-# copy connection string to clipboard
-npx create-db@latest --copy
-
-# print only the connection string
-npx create-db@latest --quiet
-
-# CI-friendly output
-npx create-db@latest --json
-```

-# management-api-sdk
-
-Use `@prisma/management-api-sdk` for typed API integration with optional OAuth and token refresh.
-
-The Platform API evolves independently from Prisma ORM. Inspect the installed package's generated `api.d.ts` for exact paths and request/response shapes.
-
-## Priority
-
-HIGH
-
-## Why It Matters
-
-The SDK provides typed endpoint methods and removes boilerplate around auth and refresh handling, which reduces errors in production provisioning flows.
-
-## Install
-
-```bash
-npm install @prisma/management-api-sdk
-```
-
-## Simple client (existing token)
-
-```typescript
-import { createManagementApiClient } from '@prisma/management-api-sdk'
-
-const client = createManagementApiClient({ token: process.env.PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN! })
-const { data: workspaces } = await client.GET('/v1/workspaces')
-```
-
-Check the generated client result before using `data`; typed clients surface HTTP failures separately. Never log a full response from connection/key creation because it may contain one-time credentials.
-
-## Workspace service tokens
-
-The typed client exposes routes to list, create, and revoke workspace service tokens:
-
-- `GET /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/service-tokens`
-- `POST /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/service-tokens`
-- `DELETE /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/service-tokens/{serviceTokenId}`
-
-Creation accepts a display `name`. The response's `data.value` is the complete token and is returned exactly once; transfer it directly to the intended secret store without logging the response. Later list calls return metadata and `valueHint`, not the token value. Treat revocation as destructive and resolve both ids explicitly.
-
-## Full SDK (OAuth + refresh)
-
-```typescript
-import { createManagementApiSdk, type TokenStorage } from '@prisma/management-api-sdk'
-
-const tokenStorage: TokenStorage = {
-  async getTokens() { return null },
-  async setTokens(tokens) {},
-  async clearTokens() {},
-}
-
-const api = createManagementApiSdk({
-  clientId: process.env.PRISMA_CLIENT_ID!,
-  redirectUri: 'https://your-app.com/auth/callback',
-  tokenStorage,
-})
-```
-
-## OAuth SDK flow
-
-1. Call `getLoginUrl()` and persist `state` + `verifier`.
-2. Redirect user to login URL.
-3. Handle callback with `handleCallback()`.
-4. Use `api.client` for typed endpoint calls.
-5. Call `logout()` when needed.

-# management-api
-
-Use Prisma Management API for programmatic provisioning and workspace/project/database management.
-
-## Priority
-
-CRITICAL
-
-## Why It Matters
-
-When you need backend automation, multi-tenant onboarding flows, or controlled resource provisioning, the Management API is the source of truth and is more reliable than interactive workflows.
-
-## Base URL
-
-```text
-https://api.prisma.io/v1
-```
-
-## API exploration
-
-- OpenAPI docs: `https://api.prisma.io/v1/doc`
-- Swagger Editor: `https://api.prisma.io/v1/swagger-editor`
-
-## Authentication methods
-
-- Service token: best for server-to-server operations in your own workspace
-- OAuth 2.0: best for acting on behalf of users across workspaces
-
-## Service token flow
-
-1. Create token in Prisma Console workspace settings.
-2. Send token as Bearer auth:
-
-```text
-Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN
-```
-
-## OAuth flow summary
-
-1. Redirect user to `https://auth.prisma.io/authorize` with `client_id`, `redirect_uri`, `response_type=code`, and scopes.
-2. Receive `code` on callback.
-3. Exchange code at `https://auth.prisma.io/token`.
-4. Use returned access token in Management API requests.
-
-## Resource model
-
-Workspace -> Project -> Branch -> Database. Branches are a first-class resource: databases attach to a Branch, and branch-scoped env/databases are how preview isolation works.
-
-## Current resource inventory
-
-The 1.55 OpenAPI surface includes:
-
-- workspaces, subscriptions, workspace integrations, workspace service tokens, and current-user metadata
-- projects, transfers, project databases, and project/branch environment variables
-- branches under a project plus branch get/update/delete operations
-- databases, usage, backups, restore, connections, and connection rotation
-- apps, deployments, promotion/rollback, runtime logs, domains, and build logs
-- buckets and bucket keys
-- source repositories, SCM installations/install intents, and repositories
-- integrations and regions
-
-App/deployment, branch mutation, SCM, and bucket routes include experimental surfaces. Read the installed SDK types or live OpenAPI before building durable automation around them.
-
-Connection create/rotate responses reveal credentials once. Later reads redact or omit the secret, so store the URL immediately. Use the structured direct/pooled endpoint returned by the concrete operation; do not assume a historical flat response shape.
-
-Workspace service-token creation also returns the complete token value exactly once. List calls expose only metadata and a `valueHint`; delete revokes the token. Keep workspace and token ids opaque, and never log a create response.
-
-Database create supports explicit project, region, branch, and source context. A source may be empty, a backup, or another database. Backup records are incremental; rely on current fields and documented units rather than old full-backup examples.
-
-## Notes
-
-- Management API mutation responses may include direct connection credentials; treat the entire response as secret until redacted.
-- Prefer an API-provided connection string over manually assembling one from fields.

-| 3 | Client Setup | CRITICAL | `prisma-client-setup` |
-
-## System Prerequisites
-
-- **Node.js 20.19.0+**
-- **TypeScript 5.4.0+**
-
-## Bun Runtime
-
-If you're using Bun, run Prisma CLI commands with `bunx --bun prisma ...` so Prisma uses the Bun runtime instead of falling back to Node.js.
-
-## Supported Databases
-
-| Database | Provider String | Notes |
-|----------|-----------------|-------|
-| PostgreSQL | `postgresql` | Default, full feature support |
-| MySQL | `mysql` | Widespread support, some JSON diffs |
-| SQLite | `sqlite` | Local file-based, no enum/scalar lists |
-| MongoDB | `mongodb` | Mongo-specific workflow; do not apply SQL driver-adapter guidance |
-| SQL Server | `sqlserver` | Microsoft ecosystem |
-| CockroachDB | `cockroachdb` | Distributed SQL, Postgres-compatible |
-| Prisma Postgres | `postgresql` | Managed serverless database |
-
-## Configuration Files
-
-Your configuration shape depends on the provider and Prisma major version:
-
-1. **All providers** use **`prisma/schema.prisma`**.
-2. **Prisma 7 SQL setups** typically use **`prisma.config.ts`** for datasource URLs.
-3. **MongoDB projects should stay on Prisma 6.x**, keep `url = env("DATABASE_URL")` in the schema, and continue using the classic MongoDB setup.
-
-## Driver Adapters
-
-The standard SQL workflow uses a driver adapter. Choose the adapter and driver for your database and pass the adapter to `PrismaClient`.
-
-| Database | Adapter | JS Driver |
-|----------|---------|-----------|
-| PostgreSQL | `@prisma/adapter-pg` | `pg` |
-| CockroachDB | `@prisma/adapter-pg` | `pg` |
-| Prisma Postgres (Node.js) | `@prisma/adapter-pg` | `pg` |
-| Prisma Postgres (edge/serverless) | `@prisma/adapter-ppg` | `@prisma/ppg` |
-| MySQL / MariaDB | `@prisma/adapter-mariadb` | `mariadb` |
-| SQLite | `@prisma/adapter-better-sqlite3` | `better-sqlite3` |
-| SQLite (Turso/LibSQL) | `@prisma/adapter-libsql` | `@libsql/client` |
-| SQL Server | `@prisma/adapter-mssql` | `node-mssql` |
-
-MongoDB should not follow the Prisma 7 SQL adapter workflow. Use the latest Prisma 6.x release for MongoDB projects and do not install a SQL `@prisma/adapter-*` package for it.
-
-Example (PostgreSQL):
-
-```ts
-import 'dotenv/config'
-import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
-
-const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
-const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-```
-
-## Prisma Client Setup (Required)
-
-Prisma Client must be installed and generated for any database.
-
-1. Install Prisma CLI and Prisma Client:
-   ```bash
-   npm install prisma --save-dev
-   npm install @prisma/client
-   ```
-
-1. Add a generator block (`prisma-client` requires an explicit output path):
-   ```prisma
-   generator client {
-     provider = "prisma-client"
-     output   = "../generated"
-   }
-   ```
-
-1. Generate Prisma Client:
-   ```bash
-   npx prisma generate
-   ```
-
-1. For SQL providers, instantiate Prisma Client with the database-specific driver adapter:
-   ```typescript
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-1. Re-run `prisma generate` after every schema change.
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-### PostgreSQL
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "postgresql"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-### MySQL
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "mysql"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-### SQLite
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "sqlite"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-### MongoDB
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "mongodb"
-  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client-js"
-}
-```
-
-For MongoDB, stay on the latest Prisma 6.x line and keep the connection URL in `schema.prisma`. Do not move a MongoDB project to the Prisma 7 SQL adapter setup. If a MongoDB project asks about upgrading Prisma versions, route to the `prisma-mongodb-upgrade` skill (stay-on-v6 vs Prisma Next is the real decision; Prisma 7 is not an option).
-
-## Rule Files
-
-See individual rule files for detailed setup instructions:
-
-```
-references/postgresql.md
-references/mysql.md
-references/sqlite.md
-references/mongodb.md
-references/sqlserver.md
-references/cockroachdb.md
-references/prisma-postgres.md
-references/prisma-client-setup.md
-```
-
-## How to Use
-
-Choose the provider reference file for your database, then apply `references/prisma-client-setup.md` to complete client generation and adapter setup. For MongoDB, use `references/mongodb.md` instead of copying the SQL adapter examples or Prisma 7 config pattern.
+This compatibility entry contains no setup recipes. Keep it until consumers have migrated to the replacement.

-# CockroachDB Setup
-
-Configure Prisma with CockroachDB.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- CockroachDB cluster
-
-## 1. Schema Configuration
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "cockroachdb"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-## 2. Config Configuration
-
-In `prisma.config.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'
-
-export default defineConfig({
-  schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
-  datasource: {
-    url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
-  },
-})
-```
-
-## 3. Environment Variable
-
-In `.env`:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:password@host:26257/db?sslmode=verify-full"
-```
-
-Note: CockroachDB uses the PostgreSQL wire protocol, so the URL often looks like postgresql, but the provider **MUST** be `cockroachdb` in the schema to handle specific CRDB features correctly.
-
-## Driver Adapter
-
-Use a driver adapter for the standard SQL workflow. CockroachDB is PostgreSQL-compatible, so use the PostgreSQL adapter.
-
-1. Install adapter and driver:
-   ```bash
-   npm install @prisma/adapter-pg pg
-   ```
-
-2. Instantiate Prisma Client with the adapter:
-   ```typescript
-   import 'dotenv/config'
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-## ID Generation
-
-CockroachDB uses `BigInt` or `UUID` for IDs efficiently.
-
-```prisma
-model User {
-  id BigInt @id @default(autoincrement()) // Uses unique_rowid()
-}
-```
-
-Or using string UUIDs:
-
-```prisma
-model User {
-  id String @id @default(dbgenerated("gen_random_uuid()")) @db.Uuid
-}
-```
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### Schema Introspection
-Always use `provider = "cockroachdb"` to ensure correct type mapping during `db pull`.

-# MongoDB Setup
-
-MongoDB projects should stay on the latest Prisma 6.x release. Do not upgrade a MongoDB app to Prisma 7's SQL client path.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- MongoDB 4.2+
-- Replica Set configured (required for transactions)
-- Latest Prisma 6.x release, or your team's pinned Prisma 6 version
-- Node.js 20.19.0+
-- TypeScript 5.4.0+
-
-## 1. Schema Configuration
-
-Use the standard Prisma 6 MongoDB setup with `prisma-client-js`.
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "mongodb"
-  url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client-js"
-}
-```
-
-### Driver Adapters
-
-Do **not** apply the Prisma 7 SQL adapter setup here. MongoDB does not use a SQL `@prisma/adapter-*` package.
-
-### ID Field Requirement
-
-MongoDB models **must** have a mapped `_id` field using `@id` and `@map("_id")`, usually of type `String` with `auto()` and `db.ObjectId`.
-
-```prisma
-model User {
-  id    String @id @default(auto()) @map("_id") @db.ObjectId
-  email String @unique
-  name  String?
-}
-```
-
-### Relations
-
-Relations in MongoDB expect IDs to be `db.ObjectId` type.
-
-```prisma
-model Post {
-  id       String @id @default(auto()) @map("_id") @db.ObjectId
-  author   User   @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
-  authorId String @db.ObjectId
-}
-```
-
-## 2. Environment Variable
-
-In `.env`:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="mongodb+srv://user:password@cluster.mongodb.net/mydb?retryWrites=true&w=majority"
-```
-
-## Migrations vs Introspection
-
-- **No Migrations**: MongoDB is schema-less. `prisma migrate` commands **do not work**.
-- **db push**: Use `prisma db push` to sync indexes and constraints.
-- **db pull**: Use `prisma db pull` to generate schema from existing data (sampling).
-
-## Current Verification Notes
-
-- `prisma init --datasource-provider mongodb` is still implemented in Prisma's CLI source.
-- Prisma's upstream repo still contains MongoDB fixtures and tests.
-- Local verification shows Prisma 7 can still recognize MongoDB inputs, but the generated client path does not provide a supported MongoDB upgrade path.
-- Local verification shows Prisma 6.x works end to end with `prisma-client-js`, `prisma db push`, and `new PrismaClient()` against a MongoDB replica set.
-
-## Version Guidance
-
-- For MongoDB, stay on the latest available Prisma 6.x release.
-- Treat Prisma 7 MongoDB migration attempts as unsupported until Prisma ships a real MongoDB upgrade path.
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### "Transactions not supported"
-Ensure your MongoDB instance is a **Replica Set**. Standalone instances do not support transactions. Atlas clusters are replica sets by default.
-
-### "Invalid ObjectID"
-Ensure fields referencing IDs are decorated with `@db.ObjectId` if the target is an ObjectID.

-# MySQL Setup
-
-Configure Prisma with MySQL (or MariaDB).
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- MySQL or MariaDB database
-- Connection string
-
-## 1. Schema Configuration
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "mysql"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-## 2. Config Configuration
-
-In `prisma.config.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'
-
-export default defineConfig({
-  schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
-  datasource: {
-    url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
-  },
-})
-```
-
-## 3. Environment Variable
-
-In `.env`:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="mysql://user:password@localhost:3306/mydb"
-```
-
-### Connection String Format
-
-```
-mysql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE
-```
-
-- **USER**: Database user
-- **PASSWORD**: Password
-- **HOST**: Hostname
-- **PORT**: Port (default 3306)
-- **DATABASE**: Database name
-
-## Driver Adapter
-
-Use a driver adapter for the standard SQL workflow.
-
-1. Install adapter and driver:
-   ```bash
-   npm install @prisma/adapter-mariadb mariadb
-   ```
-
-2. Instantiate Prisma Client with the adapter:
-   ```typescript
-   import 'dotenv/config'
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaMariaDb } from '@prisma/adapter-mariadb'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaMariaDb({
-     host: 'localhost',
-     port: 3306,
-     connectionLimit: 5,
-     user: process.env.MYSQL_USER,
-     password: process.env.MYSQL_PASSWORD,
-     database: process.env.MYSQL_DATABASE,
-   })
-
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-### Text protocol option
-
-If you need the MariaDB driver's text protocol instead of the default binary `execute()` path, enable `useTextProtocol` explicitly:
-
-```typescript
-import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-import { PrismaMariaDb } from '@prisma/adapter-mariadb'
-
-const adapter = new PrismaMariaDb(process.env.DATABASE_URL!, {
-  useTextProtocol: true,
-})
-
-const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-```
-
-Use this only when you specifically need text-protocol compatibility for your MariaDB setup.
-
-## PlanetScale Setup
-
-PlanetScale uses MySQL but requires specific settings because it doesn't support foreign key constraints.
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider     = "mysql"
-  relationMode = "prisma" // Emulate foreign keys in Prisma
-}
-```
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### "Too many connections"
-MySQL has a connection limit. Adjust connection pool size in URL:
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="mysql://...?connection_limit=5"
-```
-
-### JSON Support
-MySQL 5.7+ supports JSON. MariaDB 10.2+ supports JSON (as an alias for LONGTEXT with check constraints). Prisma handles this, but verify your version.

-# Prisma Client Setup
-
-Generate and instantiate Prisma Client for Prisma's standard SQL provider workflow. For MongoDB, follow the provider-specific notes in `references/mongodb.md` instead of copying the SQL adapter example below.
-
-## 1. Install dependencies
-
-```bash
-npm install prisma --save-dev
-npm install @prisma/client
-```
-
-## 2. Add generator block
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-`prisma-client` requires an explicit `output` path and does not generate into `node_modules` by default.
-
-## 3. Generate Prisma Client
-
-```bash
-npx prisma generate
-```
-
-Re-run `prisma generate` after every schema change to keep the client in sync.
-
-## 4. Instantiate Prisma Client
-
-```typescript
-import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
-
-const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
-const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-```
-
-If you change the generator `output`, update the import path to match. For the SQL provider workflow, replace `PrismaPg` with the adapter for your database.
-
-## 5. Use a single instance
-
-Each `PrismaClient` instance creates a connection pool. Reuse a single instance per app process to avoid exhausting database connections.

-# Prisma Postgres Setup
-
-Configure Prisma with Prisma Postgres (Managed).
-
-## Overview
-
-Prisma Postgres is a serverless, managed PostgreSQL database optimized for Prisma.
-
-## Setup via CLI
-
-You can provision a Prisma Postgres instance directly via the CLI:
-
-```bash
-prisma init --db
-```
-
-This will:
-1. Log you into Prisma Data Platform.
-2. Create a new project and database instance.
-3. Update your `.env` with the connection string.
-
-## Connection String
-
-For Prisma CLI flows and Accelerate-style usage, you may see a `prisma+postgres://` URL.
-
-For Prisma Client with a driver adapter in Node.js, prefer the direct TCP connection string from the Prisma Postgres dashboard:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="postgres://identifier:key@db.prisma.io:5432/postgres?sslmode=require"
-```
-
-## 1. Schema Configuration
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "postgresql" // Use postgresql provider
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-## 2. Config Configuration
-
-In `prisma.config.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'
-
-export default defineConfig({
-  schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
-  datasource: {
-    url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
-  },
-})
-```
-
-## Driver Adapter
-
-Use a driver adapter for Prisma Postgres in the standard SQL workflow.
-
-### Recommended for standard Node.js apps
-
-1. Install adapter and driver:
-   ```bash
-   npm install @prisma/adapter-pg pg
-   ```
-
-2. Use the direct TCP connection string from Prisma Console:
-   ```typescript
-   import 'dotenv/config'
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaPg } from '@prisma/adapter-pg'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaPg({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL })
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-`PrismaPg` also accepts the connection string directly:
-
-```typescript
-const adapter = new PrismaPg(process.env.DATABASE_URL!)
-const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-```
-
-For PostgreSQL prepared statement naming, pass adapter options as the second argument:
-
-```typescript
-import { createHash } from 'node:crypto'
-
-const adapter = new PrismaPg(process.env.DATABASE_URL!, {
-  statementNameGenerator: ({ sql }) =>
-    `prisma_${createHash('sha1').update(sql).digest('hex').slice(0, 16)}`,
-})
-```
-
-### Edge/serverless option
-
-Use the Prisma Postgres serverless driver only when you need HTTP/WebSocket transport in environments like Workers or Edge Functions:
-
-```bash
-npm install @prisma/adapter-ppg @prisma/ppg
-```
-
-```typescript
-import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-import { PrismaPostgresAdapter } from '@prisma/adapter-ppg'
-
-const prisma = new PrismaClient({
-  adapter: new PrismaPostgresAdapter({
-    connectionString: process.env.PRISMA_DIRECT_TCP_URL,
-  }),
-})
-```
-
-This serverless driver is the specialized path for HTTP/WebSocket-based edge and serverless runtimes, not the default recommendation for standard Node.js apps.
-
-## Features
-
-- **Serverless**: Scales to zero.
-- **Caching**: Integrated query caching (Accelerate).
-- **Real-time**: Database events (Pulse).
-
-## Using with Prisma Client
-
-Use the Prisma Postgres adapter shown above when instantiating Prisma Client.

-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaLibSql } from '@prisma/adapter-libsql'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaLibSql({
-     url: process.env.TURSO_DATABASE_URL,
-     authToken: process.env.TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN,
-   })
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-## Limitations
-
-- **No Enums**: SQLite doesn't support enums (Prisma polyfills them or treats as String).
-- **No Scalar Lists**: `String[]` is not supported directly.
-- **Concurrency**: Write operations lock the file.
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### "Database file not found"
-Ensure the path in `DATABASE_URL` is correct relative to where Prisma is running or the schema file. `file:./dev.db` creates it next to schema.

-# SQL Server Setup
-
-Configure Prisma with Microsoft SQL Server.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- SQL Server 2017, 2019, 2022, or Azure SQL
-- TCP/IP enabled
-
-## 1. Schema Configuration
-
-In `prisma/schema.prisma`:
-
-```prisma
-datasource db {
-  provider = "sqlserver"
-}
-
-generator client {
-  provider = "prisma-client"
-  output   = "../generated"
-}
-```
-
-## 2. Config Configuration
-
-In `prisma.config.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-import { defineConfig, env } from 'prisma/config'
-
-export default defineConfig({
-  schema: 'prisma/schema.prisma',
-  datasource: {
-    url: env('DATABASE_URL'),
-  },
-})
-```
-
-## 3. Environment Variable
-
-In `.env`:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="sqlserver://localhost:1433;database=mydb;user=sa;password=Password123;encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=true"
-```
-
-### Connection String Format
-
-```
-sqlserver://HOST:PORT;database=DB;user=USER;password=PASS;encrypt=true;trustServerCertificate=true
-```
-
-- **encrypt**: Required for Azure (true).
-- **trustServerCertificate**: True for self-signed certs (local dev).
-
-## Driver Adapter
-
-Use a driver adapter for the standard SQL workflow.
-
-1. Install adapter and driver:
-   ```bash
-   npm install @prisma/adapter-mssql mssql
-   ```
-
-2. Instantiate Prisma Client with the adapter:
-   ```typescript
-   import 'dotenv/config'
-   import { PrismaClient } from '../generated/client'
-   import { PrismaMssql } from '@prisma/adapter-mssql'
-
-   const adapter = new PrismaMssql({
-     server: 'localhost',
-     port: 1433,
-     database: 'mydb',
-     user: process.env.SQLSERVER_USER,
-     password: process.env.SQLSERVER_PASSWORD,
-     options: {
-       encrypt: true,
-       trustServerCertificate: true,
-     },
-   })
-
-   const prisma = new PrismaClient({ adapter })
-   ```
-
-## Common Issues
-
-### "Login failed for user"
-- SQL Server auth vs Windows auth. Prisma typically uses SQL Server authentication (username/password).
-- Ensure TCP/IP is enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager.
-
-### "Table not found" (dbo schema)
-Prisma assumes `dbo` schema by default. If using another schema, update the model or connection string? SQL Server provider mostly sticks to default schema.

-Guidance for creating, managing, and integrating Prisma Postgres across interactive and programmatic workflows.
+Load `prisma-postgres-setup` with the host's skill loader or read its installed `SKILL.md`. If unavailable, install it from [prisma/skills](https://github.com/prisma/skills/tree/main/prisma-postgres-setup) before continuing.
 
-## When to Apply
-
-Reference this skill when:
-- Setting up Prisma Postgres from Prisma Console
-- Provisioning instant temporary databases with `create-db`
-- Linking an existing local project with `prisma postgres link`
-- Managing Prisma Postgres resources via Management API
-- Using `@prisma/management-api-sdk` in TypeScript/JavaScript
-- Handling claim URLs, connection strings, regions, and auth flows
-
-## Rule Categories by Priority
-
-| Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix |
-|----------|----------|--------|--------|
-| 1 | CLI Provisioning | CRITICAL | `create-db-cli` |
-| 2 | Management API | CRITICAL | `management-api` |
-| 3 | Management API SDK | HIGH | `management-api-sdk` |
-| 4 | Console and Connections | HIGH | `console-and-connections` |
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-- `create-db-cli` - instant databases and current CLI flags (`--ttl`, `--copy`, `--quiet`, `--open`)
-- `management-api` - service token and OAuth API workflows
-- `management-api-sdk` - typed SDK usage with token storage
-- `console-and-connections` - Console operations, `prisma postgres link`, direct TCP connections, and serverless-driver choices
-
-## Core Workflows
-
-### 1. Console-first workflow
-
-Use Prisma Console for manual setup and operations:
-
-- Open `https://console.prisma.io`
-- Create/select workspace and project
-- Use Studio in the project sidebar to view/edit data
-- Retrieve direct connection details from the project UI
-
-### 2. Quick provisioning with create-db
-
-Use `create-db` when you need a database immediately:
-
-```bash
-npx create-db@latest
-```
-
-Aliases:
-
-```bash
-npx create-pg@latest
-npx create-postgres@latest
-```
-
-For app integrations, you can also use the programmatic API (`create()` / `regions()`) from the `create-db` npm package.
-
-Temporary databases auto-delete after ~24 hours unless claimed.
-
-### 2b. Persistent databases with the Platform CLI
-
-For databases that belong to a Project (not throwaway `create-db` databases), use `@prisma/cli`:
-
-```bash
-npx -y @prisma/cli@latest database create --help
-npx -y @prisma/cli@latest database list --json
-npx -y @prisma/cli@latest database connection create db_123
-npx -y @prisma/cli@latest database usage db_123
-npx -y @prisma/cli@latest database backup list db_123
-```
-
-`database create` and `database connection create` print a one-time connection URL; store it immediately. Destructive commands (`remove`, `restore`) require exact `--confirm <id>`.
-
-For automation, prefer `--json --no-interactive`, resolve ids before mutations, and verify the installed command's help because this CLI is beta.
-
-### 3. Link an existing local project
-
-Use `prisma postgres link` when the database already exists and you want to wire a local project to it:
-
-```bash
-prisma postgres link
-```
-
-For CI or other non-interactive environments:
-
-```bash
-prisma postgres link --api-key "<your-api-key>" --database "db_..."
-```
-
-This flow updates your local `.env` with `DATABASE_URL`, then you can run `prisma generate` and `prisma migrate dev`.
-
-### 4. Programmatic provisioning with Management API
-
-Use API endpoints on:
-
-```text
-https://api.prisma.io/v1
-```
-
-Explore the schema and endpoints using:
-
-- OpenAPI docs: `https://api.prisma.io/v1/doc`
-- Swagger Editor: `https://api.prisma.io/v1/swagger-editor`
-
-Auth options:
-
-- Service token (workspace server-to-server)
-- OAuth 2.0 (act on behalf of users)
-
-### 5. Type-safe integration with Management API SDK
-
-Install and use:
-
-```bash
-npm install @prisma/management-api-sdk
-```
-
-Use `createManagementApiClient` for existing tokens, or `createManagementApiSdk` for OAuth + token refresh.
-
-The SDK exposes typed workspace service-token list, create, and revoke routes. A newly created token value is returned exactly once. Let the installed SDK types or OpenAPI document settle exact beta endpoint shapes.
-
-## Rule Files
-
-Detailed guidance lives in:
-
-```
-references/console-and-connections.md
-references/create-db-cli.md
-references/management-api.md
-references/management-api-sdk.md
-```
-
-## How to Use
-
-Start with `references/create-db-cli.md` for fast setup, then switch to `references/management-api.md` or `references/management-api-sdk.md` when you need programmatic provisioning.
+This compatibility entry contains no setup recipes. Keep it until consumers have migrated to the replacement.

-# console-and-connections
-
-Use Prisma Console workflows for project visibility, data inspection, and connection setup.
-
-## Priority
-
-HIGH
-
-## Why It Matters
-
-Many Prisma Postgres tasks are quickest in the Console: viewing Studio data, checking metrics, and retrieving connection details. This avoids unnecessary API or CLI work for simple operational tasks.
-
-## Console workflow
-
-1. Open `https://console.prisma.io`.
-2. Select workspace and project.
-3. Use dashboard metrics for usage and billing visibility.
-4. Open the **Studio** tab in the sidebar to inspect and edit data.
-
-## Local Studio
-
-You can also inspect data locally:
-
-```bash
-npx prisma studio
-```
-
-## Linking an existing project
-
-If the Prisma Postgres database already exists, link the local project instead of provisioning a new one:
-
-```bash
-prisma postgres link
-```
-
-For CI or non-interactive usage:
-
-```bash
-prisma postgres link --api-key "<your-api-key>" --database "db_..."
-```
-
-This command updates or creates `.env` with `DATABASE_URL`. If the project is already linked, use `--force` to re-link. After linking, run `prisma generate`, then `prisma migrate dev` if you need to apply the schema.
-
-## Connection setup
-
-For direct PostgreSQL tools and drivers:
-
-- Generate/copy direct connection credentials from the project connection UI.
-- Use the resulting PostgreSQL URL as `DATABASE_URL` for `pg` and `@prisma/adapter-pg`.
-- For Prisma Postgres direct TCP, include `sslmode=require`.
-
-Typical direct TCP format:
-
-```env
-DATABASE_URL="postgres://identifier:key@db.prisma.io:5432/postgres?sslmode=require"
-```
-
-Management API connection responses expose both `endpoints.direct` (`db.prisma.io:5432`) and `endpoints.pooled` (`pooled.db.prisma.io:5432`); prefer those fields over the deprecated flat `connectionString`. Connection secrets are shown once at creation (one-time view); store them immediately.
-
-## Adapter choices
-
-- Standard Node.js apps: prefer `@prisma/adapter-pg` with the direct TCP URL above.
-- Edge/serverless runtimes: use `@prisma/adapter-ppg` with `@prisma/ppg` only when you specifically need the Prisma Postgres serverless driver.

-# create-db-cli
-
-Use `create-db` for instant Prisma Postgres provisioning from the terminal.
-
-## Priority
-
-CRITICAL
-
-## Why It Matters
-
-`create-db` is the fastest way to get a working Prisma Postgres instance for development, demos, and CI previews. It can also emit machine-readable output and write env variables directly.
-
-## Commands
-
-```bash
-npx create-db@latest
-npx create-db@latest create [options]
-npx create-db@latest regions
-```
-
-Aliases:
-
-```bash
-npx create-pg@latest
-npx create-postgres@latest
-```
-
-## Command discovery (`--help`)
-
-Always use `--help` first when integrating CLI commands:
-
-```bash
-npx create-db@latest --help
-npx create-db@latest create --help
-npx create-db@latest regions --help
-```
-
-Top-level commands currently exposed:
-
-- `create` (default) to provision a database
-- `regions` to list available regions
-
-## `create` options
-
-| Flag | Shorthand | Description |
-|---|---|---|
-| `--region [string]` | `-r` | Region choice: `ap-southeast-1`, `ap-northeast-1`, `eu-central-1`, `eu-west-3`, `us-east-1`, `us-west-1` |
-| `--interactive [boolean]` | `-i` | Open region selector |
-| `--json [boolean]` | `-j` | Output machine-readable JSON |
-| `--env [string]` | `-e` | Write `DATABASE_URL` and `CLAIM_URL` into a target `.env` |
-| `--ttl [string]` | `-t` | Auto-delete after a TTL like `30m` or `1h-24h` |
-| `--copy [boolean]` | `-c` | Copy the connection string to the clipboard |
-| `--quiet [boolean]` | `-q` | Only print the connection string |
-| `--open [boolean]` | `-o` | Open the claim URL in your browser |
-
-## Lifecycle and claim flow
-
-- Databases are temporary by default.
-- Unclaimed databases are auto-deleted after ~24 hours.
-- Claim the database using the URL shown in command output to keep it permanently.
-
-## Programmatic usage (library API)
-
-You can also use `create-db` programmatically in Node.js/Bun instead of shelling out to the CLI.
-
-Install:
-
-```bash
-npm install create-db
-# or
-bun add create-db
-```
-
-Create a database:
-
-```ts
-import { create, isDatabaseSuccess, isDatabaseError } from "create-db";
-
-const result = await create({
-  region: "us-east-1",
-  userAgent: "my-app/1.0.0",
-});
-
-if (isDatabaseSuccess(result)) {
-  console.log(result.connectionString);
-  console.log(result.claimUrl);
-  console.log(result.deletionDate);
-}
-
-if (isDatabaseError(result)) {
-  console.error(result.error, result.message);
-}
-```
-
-List regions programmatically:
-
-```ts
-import { regions } from "create-db";
-
-const available = await regions();
-console.log(available);
-```
-
-Programmatic `create()` defaults to `us-east-1` if no region is passed.
-
-## Common patterns
-
-```bash
-# quick database
-npx create-db@latest
-
-# region-specific database
-npx create-db@latest --region eu-central-1
-
-# interactive region selection
-npx create-db@latest --interactive
-
-# write env vars for app bootstrap
-npx create-db@latest --env .env
-
-# auto-delete sooner
-npx create-db@latest --ttl 2h
-
-# copy connection string to clipboard
-npx create-db@latest --copy
-
-# print only the connection string
-npx create-db@latest --quiet
-
-# CI-friendly output
-npx create-db@latest --json
-```

-# management-api-sdk
-
-Use `@prisma/management-api-sdk` for typed API integration with optional OAuth and token refresh.
-
-The Platform API evolves independently from Prisma ORM. Inspect the installed package's generated `api.d.ts` for exact paths and request/response shapes.
-
-## Priority
-
-HIGH
-
-## Why It Matters
-
-The SDK provides typed endpoint methods and removes boilerplate around auth and refresh handling, which reduces errors in production provisioning flows.
-
-## Install
-
-```bash
-npm install @prisma/management-api-sdk
-```
-
-## Simple client (existing token)
-
-```typescript
-import { createManagementApiClient } from '@prisma/management-api-sdk'
-
-const client = createManagementApiClient({ token: process.env.PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN! })
-const { data: workspaces } = await client.GET('/v1/workspaces')
-```
-
-Check the generated client result before using `data`; typed clients surface HTTP failures separately. Never log a full response from connection/key creation because it may contain one-time credentials.
-
-## Workspace service tokens
-
-The typed client exposes routes to list, create, and revoke workspace service tokens:
-
-- `GET /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/service-tokens`
-- `POST /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/service-tokens`
-- `DELETE /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/service-tokens/{serviceTokenId}`
-
-Creation accepts a display `name`. The response's `data.value` is the complete token and is returned exactly once; transfer it directly to the intended secret store without logging the response. Later list calls return metadata and `valueHint`, not the token value. Treat revocation as destructive and resolve both ids explicitly.
-
-## Full SDK (OAuth + refresh)
-
-```typescript
-import { createManagementApiSdk, type TokenStorage } from '@prisma/management-api-sdk'
-
-const tokenStorage: TokenStorage = {
-  async getTokens() { return null },
-  async setTokens(tokens) {},
-  async clearTokens() {},
-}
-
-const api = createManagementApiSdk({
-  clientId: process.env.PRISMA_CLIENT_ID!,
-  redirectUri: 'https://your-app.com/auth/callback',
-  tokenStorage,
-})
-```
-
-## OAuth SDK flow
-
-1. Call `getLoginUrl()` and persist `state` + `verifier`.
-2. Redirect user to login URL.
-3. Handle callback with `handleCallback()`.
-4. Use `api.client` for typed endpoint calls.
-5. Call `logout()` when needed.

-# management-api
-
-Use Prisma Management API for programmatic provisioning and workspace/project/database management.
-
-## Priority
-
-CRITICAL
-
-## Why It Matters
-
-When you need backend automation, multi-tenant onboarding flows, or controlled resource provisioning, the Management API is the source of truth and is more reliable than interactive workflows.
-
-## Base URL
-
-```text
-https://api.prisma.io/v1
-```
-
-## API exploration
-
-- OpenAPI docs: `https://api.prisma.io/v1/doc`
-- Swagger Editor: `https://api.prisma.io/v1/swagger-editor`
-
-## Authentication methods
-
-- Service token: best for server-to-server operations in your own workspace
-- OAuth 2.0: best for acting on behalf of users across workspaces
-
-## Service token flow
-
-1. Create token in Prisma Console workspace settings.
-2. Send token as Bearer auth:
-
-```text
-Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN
-```
-
-## OAuth flow summary
-
-1. Redirect user to `https://auth.prisma.io/authorize` with `client_id`, `redirect_uri`, `response_type=code`, and scopes.
-2. Receive `code` on callback.
-3. Exchange code at `https://auth.prisma.io/token`.
-4. Use returned access token in Management API requests.
-
-## Resource model
-
-Workspace -> Project -> Branch -> Database. Branches are a first-class resource: databases attach to a Branch, and branch-scoped env/databases are how preview isolation works.
-
-## Current resource inventory
-
-The 1.55 OpenAPI surface includes:
-
-- workspaces, subscriptions, workspace integrations, workspace service tokens, and current-user metadata
-- projects, transfers, project databases, and project/branch environment variables
-- branches under a project plus branch get/update/delete operations
-- databases, usage, backups, restore, connections, and connection rotation
-- apps, deployments, promotion/rollback, runtime logs, domains, and build logs
-- buckets and bucket keys
-- source repositories, SCM installations/install intents, and repositories
-- integrations and regions
-
-App/deployment, branch mutation, SCM, and bucket routes include experimental surfaces. Read the installed SDK types or live OpenAPI before building durable automation around them.
-
-Connection create/rotate responses reveal credentials once. Later reads redact or omit the secret, so store the URL immediately. Use the structured direct/pooled endpoint returned by the concrete operation; do not assume a historical flat response shape.
-
-Workspace service-token creation also returns the complete token value exactly once. List calls expose only metadata and a `valueHint`; delete revokes the token. Keep workspace and token ids opaque, and never log a create response.
-
-Database create supports explicit project, region, branch, and source context. A source may be empty, a backup, or another database. Backup records are incremental; rely on current fields and documented units rather than old full-backup examples.
-
-## Notes
-
-- Management API mutation responses may include direct connection credentials; treat the entire response as secret until redacted.
-- Prefer an API-provided connection string over manually assembling one from fields.

    - **Skip**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`. Only updates config and CSS, leaves components as-is.
    - **Important**: Always run preset commands inside the user's project directory. `apply` only works in an existing project with a `components.json` file. The CLI automatically preserves the current base (`base` vs `radix`) from `components.json`. If you must use a scratch/temp directory (e.g. for `--dry-run` comparisons), pass `--base <current-base>` explicitly — preset codes do not encode the base.
 
+## Design Systems from DESIGN.md
+
+When the user asks for a design system from a `DESIGN.md` (or a brand spec), with or without a preset, follow [design-system.md](./design-system.md) end to end:
+
+1. `init --preset <code> --template <vite|next> --name <app> --no-monorepo -y`. Without a preset code, pick the closest style and pass `--base base --preset <style>`. Then `add --all -y`.
+2. Read the DESIGN.md frontmatter, Do's and Don'ts, and Known Gaps before editing.
+3. Map its tokens onto the shadcn variables in `tailwindCssFile`. Pin the radius scale, shadows, fonts and `type-*` utilities.
+4. Restyle components by editing their `cva` variants. Change control heights together.
+5. Build the design system page per [design-system-page.md](./design-system-page.md): contrast-checked color roles, type specimens, pinned state matrices, edge cases, do/don't pairs, recipes. Check coverage with `scripts/showcase-coverage.mjs`.
+6. Verify in a browser: typecheck, no console errors, loads at the top, no horizontal overflow, dark mode.

 When the user asks to update a component from upstream while keeping their local changes, use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to intelligently merge. **NEVER fetch raw files from GitHub manually — always use the CLI.**

+# The Design System Page
+
+What goes on a design system page, and how to show it. Distilled from Primer, Carbon, Atlassian, GitLab Pajamas, Cloudscape, Twilio Paste, Salesforce Lightning, Material 3, Evergreen and Orbit, and from EightShapes' component documentation guidance.

+- Page outline
+- Foundations
+- Components: tiers and block anatomy
+- States without interaction
+- Edge cases
+- Do and Don't
+- Recipes and example screens
+- Helpers
+- Checklist
+

+
+## Principles
+
+1. **Foundations, then components, then compositions.** Every mature system follows this order (Primer, Carbon, Paste, Cloudscape, M3).
+2. **Roles, not palettes.** Show each color as a surface paired with its foreground and the measured contrast. The raw palette comes second.
+3. **Lead with the typical case.** Each component opens with its most common use in real content. Then come variants in priority order, then shared axes (size, icon), then states.
+4. **Pin states so reviewers can see them.** Hover, focus and pressed render side by side without interaction. Use one consistent label, and never put the state name inside the component.
+5. **Don't render every combination.** Primitives get a variant × state matrix. Composed components get a typical example plus additions. Exhaustive combinations belong in tests (Material 3 cut its list kit from 700+ variants to about 45).
+6. **Real content in the brand's voice.** No lorem ipsum. Include the awkward cases: long text, empty, error, loading.
+7. **Composition proves the system.** End with the DESIGN.md's own recipes and one realistic screen built only from the tokens and components.
+8. **Make the DESIGN.md's rules visible.** Turn its Do's and Don'ts into rendered do/don't pairs.
+

+## Page Outline
+
+| #   | Section                    | Contents                                                                                                                             |
+| --- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| 1   | Header                     | System name, "Themed from DESIGN.md", section anchors, light/dark toggle, primary CTA.                                               |
+| 2   | Overview                   | The DESIGN.md hero recipe: display type, one-line personality, its signature artifact.                                               |
+| 3   | Foundations                | Color roles, palette, typography, spacing, radius, elevation, motion (if specified), icons.                                          |
+| 4   | Actions                    | Button, ButtonGroup, Toggle, ToggleGroup, Badge, Kbd.                                                                                |
+| 5   | Inputs                     | Field, Input, InputGroup, Textarea, Select, NativeSelect, Combobox, Checkbox, RadioGroup, Switch, Slider, InputOTP, Calendar, Label. |
+| 6   | Navigation                 | Tabs, Breadcrumb, Pagination, NavigationMenu, Menubar, Sidebar.                                                                      |
+| 7   | Data display               | Card, Table, Chart, Item, Avatar, Accordion, Collapsible, Carousel, ScrollArea, Resizable, AspectRatio, Separator.                   |
+| 8   | Feedback                   | Alert, toast (and Sonner in Base UI projects), Progress, Spinner, Skeleton, Empty.                                                   |
+| 9   | Overlays                   | Dialog, AlertDialog, Sheet, Drawer, Popover, HoverCard, Tooltip, DropdownMenu, ContextMenu, Command.                                 |
+| 10  | Conversation               | MessageScroller, Message, Bubble, Attachment, Marker, Questionnaire. See [rules/chat.md](./rules/chat.md).                           |
+| 11  | Do and Don't               | Rendered pairs for the DESIGN.md's rules.                                                                                            |
+| 12  | Recipes and example screen | The DESIGN.md's named components, then one realistic screen.                                                                         |
+| 13  | Footer                     | The DESIGN.md footer recipe.                                                                                                         |
+
+DirectionProvider goes wherever RTL matters (an RTL row in Inputs or Navigation).
+
+Alternate section surfaces the way the DESIGN.md paces its bands. Use `className="dark"` on a section to render a dark band with the same components.
+
+---
+
+## Foundations
+
+### Color roles
+
+A grid of pairs, each rendered as the surface with "Aa" in its foreground color, plus the token names, resolved value and measured contrast (Paste, Material 3, Pajamas):
+
+| Pair                                  | Required     |
+| ------------------------------------- | ------------ |
+| `background` / `foreground`           | Yes          |
+| `card` / `card-foreground`            | Yes          |
+| `popover` / `popover-foreground`      | Yes          |
+| `primary` / `primary-foreground`      | Yes          |
+| `secondary` / `secondary-foreground`  | Yes          |
+| `muted` / `muted-foreground`          | Yes          |
+| `accent` / `accent-foreground`        | Yes          |
+| `destructive` on `background`         | Yes          |
+| Each extra text token on `background` | When defined |
+
+Use `ColorPair` from the helpers. It measures contrast live and re-measures when the theme changes. Report any pair below 4.5:1 for body-size text, even when the DESIGN.md specifies it. A brand primary at 3:1 behind 14px labels is a real finding.
+
+### Palette
+
+Swatches grouped the way the DESIGN.md groups them (brand, surfaces, text, status, accents). Label each with its DESIGN.md name and token, for example "Warm Stone · `surface-warm`". Show `border`, `input`, `ring`, `chart-1…5` and `sidebar-*` here too.
+
+### Typography
+
+A specimen table, one row per type token (Cloudscape, Carbon, Atlassian):
+
+| Column   | Content                                           |
+| -------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| Token    | `type-display-lg`                                 |
+| Spec     | size / line height / weight / tracking            |
+| Use      | "Section heads", taken from the DESIGN.md         |
+| Specimen | Real copy set in the token, truncated to one line |
+
+Group the rows display → title → body → label/caption → code. Below the table, show one paragraph of running text at body size, with a link and inline code, so line length and rhythm are visible.
+
+### Spacing
+
+The base unit and the scale as labeled horizontal bars (Carbon, Atlassian), then a semantic ladder: inside a component, between related items, between groups, between sections (Pajamas). Skip it if the DESIGN.md defines no spacing.
+
+### Radius
+
+The same box at every step, labeled with the token, the value and what uses it (Material 3). Example: `md · 8px · buttons, inputs`.
+
+### Elevation
+
+Each level as a raised surface with the components that rest there (Pajamas, Material 3): flat for canvas and bands, hairline for cards, soft for popovers and menus, deep for dialogs.
+
+### Motion and icons
+
+Show motion only if the DESIGN.md defines durations or easings: a table of token, milliseconds and use. For icons, show one row with the icon library at each size used by components, in `foreground` and `muted-foreground`.
+
+---
+
+## Components: Tiers and Block Anatomy
+
+### Tiers
+
+| Tier         | Components                                                                                                                                                                                                            | How to show                                                         |
+| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Primitives   | Button, Badge, Toggle, ToggleGroup, Input, Textarea, Select, NativeSelect, Checkbox, RadioGroup, Switch, Slider, Tabs                                                                                                 | Variant × state matrix, size ladder, icon row.                      |
+| Fields       | Field, InputGroup, Combobox, InputOTP, Calendar, Label                                                                                                                                                                | Typical field, then description, error, disabled, required.         |
+| Composed     | Card, Table, Item, Avatar, Alert, Empty, toast, Sonner, Accordion, Collapsible, Breadcrumb, Pagination, Progress, Skeleton, Spinner, Carousel, Chart, ScrollArea, Resizable, AspectRatio, Separator, Kbd, ButtonGroup | Typical example, then one element added at a time, then edge cases. |
+| Overlays     | Dialog, AlertDialog, Sheet, Drawer, Popover, HoverCard, Tooltip, DropdownMenu, ContextMenu, Menubar, NavigationMenu, Command                                                                                          | A real trigger per overlay, labeled with what it opens.             |
+| Shell        | Sidebar, DirectionProvider                                                                                                                                                                                            | Inline in a framed preview (`collapsible="none"`).                  |
+| Conversation | MessageScroller, Message, Bubble, Attachment, Marker, Questionnaire                                                                                                                                                   | One realistic thread, then variant rows.                            |
+
+### Block anatomy
+
+Each component block, in this order. Skip the parts that don't apply:
+
+1. **Name and one line on when to use it.** Take the wording from the DESIGN.md recipe when there is one.
+2. **Typical example** in real content.
+3. **Variants** in priority order (primary before secondary before ghost), each with a one-line "when".
+4. **Sizes** as a ladder, smallest to largest.
+5. **With icon**: leading, trailing, icon-only.
+6. **States**: the matrix for primitives, single examples for the rest.
+7. **Edge cases** (see below).
+
+Wide components (Table, NavigationMenu, Menubar, Sidebar, Chart, MessageScroller) span the full row.
+
+---
+
+## States Without Interaction
+
+Pin interaction states with a `data-preview` attribute. Override the hover, focus-visible and active variants so each also matches the attribute. Copy [assets/showcase/preview-states.css](./assets/showcase/preview-states.css) into `tailwindCssFile`:
+
+```css
+@custom-variant hover {
+  @media (hover: hover) {
+    &:hover {
+      @slot;
+    }
+  }
+  &[data-preview~="hover"] {
+    @slot;
+  }
+}
+@custom-variant focus-visible (&:focus-visible, &[data-preview~="focus"]);
+@custom-variant active (&:active, &[data-preview~="active"]);
+```
+
+If the theme adds an unlayered focus rule (for an outline-style focus), add `[data-preview~="focus"]` to its selector too.
+
+Render the matrix with `StateMatrix` and `previewState` from the helpers:
+
+```tsx
+const variants = ["default", "secondary", "outline", "ghost", "destructive", "link"] as const
+
+<StateMatrix
+  rows={variants}
+  render={(variant, state) => (
+    <Button variant={variant} {...previewState(state)}>
+      Save draft
+    </Button>
+  )}
+/>
+```
+
+The columns are default, hover, focus, active and disabled. Add `loading` with Spinner + `disabled` for Button, and `invalid` (`aria-invalid`) for fields:
+
+```tsx
+<StateMatrix
+  rows={["input"] as const}
+  states={["default", "hover", "focus", "disabled", "invalid"]}
+  render={(_, state) => (
+    <Input
+      placeholder="you@company.com"
+      aria-invalid={state === "invalid" || undefined}
+      {...previewState(state)}
+    />
+  )}
+/>
+```
+
+If the DESIGN.md says a state doesn't change ("primary darkens on press only"), leave that column identical. The matrix shows the spec is followed.
+
+---
+
+## Edge Cases
+
+Show these next to the component they stress:
+
+| Case          | Where                                                                     |
+| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Long text     | Button label, Badge, Item title, Table cell, Breadcrumb (truncation).     |
+| Empty         | Table with no rows → Empty, Combobox with no matches, empty Command.      |
+| Error         | Field with FieldError, Alert destructive, Attachment `state="error"`.     |
+| Loading       | Button with Spinner, Skeleton for Card and Item, Progress, toast loading. |
+| Many items    | AvatarGroup with count, Pagination with ellipsis, ScrollArea list.        |
+| Missing image | Avatar falling back to AvatarFallback.                                    |
+| Disabled      | Every field and its Field `data-disabled`.                                |
+| RTL           | One row inside `DirectionProvider` with `dir="rtl"`.                      |
+
+---
+
+## Do and Don't
+
+Pick the two to four DESIGN.md rules that are easiest to break and render each as a pair (Primer, Orbit, Carbon):
+
+```tsx
+<div className="grid gap-4 md:grid-cols-2">
+  <Example title="Do">
+    <Button>Get started</Button>
+    <Button variant="outline">Contact sales</Button>
+  </Example>
+  <Example title="Don't">
+    <Button>Get started</Button>
+    <Button>Contact sales</Button>
+  </Example>
+</div>
+```
+
+Caption each with the rule in one line, for example "One primary action per group." Mark Don't with `destructive` text, not a new color.
+
+---
+
+## Recipes and Example Screens
+
+**Recipes.** Build each named component in the DESIGN.md (`hero-band`, `feature-card`, `pricing-tier-card`, `callout-card-coral`, `footer`) from shadcn components and tokens. These are the spec's acceptance tests. If a recipe can't be built without raw values, the token mapping is incomplete.
+
+**Example screen.** One realistic screen in the brand's domain (Cloudscape demos, Paste page templates): a settings page (FieldGroup, Switch, Select, Button) or a list view (Table, Badge, Pagination, Empty). Use only tokens and components.
+
+---
+
+## Helpers
+
+Copy from `assets/showcase/` into the showcase folder:
+
+| File                 | Purpose                                                                    |
+| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `preview-states.css` | Variant overrides that pin hover, focus and active through `data-preview`. |
+| `state-matrix.tsx`   | `StateMatrix` (labeled variant × state table) and `previewState(state)`.   |
+| `color-pair.tsx`     | `ColorPair`: surface + foreground with live contrast ratio and WCAG level. |
+
+They import `cn` from `@/lib/utils`. Rewrite that path to the project's `utils` alias.
+
+---
+
+## Checklist

+## Inputs to Confirm
+
+| Input     | Default                             | Notes                                                                                                                                    |
+| --------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Preset    | Optional                            | Code (`b0`), style name (`luma`) or URL. Pass it through. Never decode it by hand. Without one, pick a style (see Step 1).               |
+| DESIGN.md | Required                            | A path, URL or pasted content. Copy it into the new app root as `DESIGN.md`.                                                             |
+| Template  | `vite`                              | Use `next` when the user says Next.js, App Router or SSR.                                                                                |
+| App name  | Derived from the brand in DESIGN.md | Kebab-case.                                                                                                                              |
+| Base      | `base`                              | Pass `--base` when no preset code is given. Use `radix` only when the user asks. `info --json` after init decides `render` vs `asChild`. |
+
+If the DESIGN.md path can't be read (macOS privacy blocks `~/Downloads` and `~/Desktop` for some hosts), ask the user to copy it into the working directory. Don't guess its contents.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Scaffold
+
+With a preset code from the user:
+
+```bash
+npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --template vite --name <app> --no-monorepo -y
+```
+
+Without one, pick the style whose geometry is closest to the DESIGN.md and pass it with `--base`:
+
+```bash
+npx shadcn@latest init --base base --preset <style> --template vite --name <app> --no-monorepo -y
+```
+
+Then:
+
+```bash
+cd <app>
+npx shadcn@latest info --json
+```
+
+`init` with neither `--preset` nor `--base` stops at an interactive library prompt, even with `-y`. Always pass one of them, plus `--no-monorepo`.
+
+### Picking a style
+
+The theme gets replaced by the DESIGN.md anyway. The style decides geometry the CSS variables can't reach: control padding, density, how rounded and how raised the components are. Read the DESIGN.md's radius scale, control heights, shadows and layout density, then pick:
+
+| Style  | Character                                             | Pick when the DESIGN.md has                                            |
+| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `vega` | The classic shadcn/ui look.                           | Neutral, conventional SaaS geometry; nothing extreme.                  |
+| `nova` | Reduced padding and margins for compact layouts.      | 32–36px controls, 6–8px radius, hairlines over shadows.                |
+| `maia` | Soft and rounded, with generous spacing.              | 40px+ controls, 12px+ card radius, generous padding, editorial pacing. |
+| `lyra` | Boxy and sharp.                                       | 0–4px radius, hard edges, mono or technical type.                      |
+| `mira` | Compact.                                              | Dense data UIs, 28–32px controls, tight tables.                        |
+| `luma` | Rounded geometry, soft elevation, breathable layouts. | Pill buttons, soft layered shadows, glassy or macOS-like surfaces.     |
+| `rhea` | Luma, but more compact.                               | Luma's softness with product-UI density.                               |
+| `sera` | Editorial and typographic.                            | Serif display type, editorial pacing, magazine-like hierarchy.         |
+
+State the choice and the reason in one line ("Picked maia: 40px controls, 12–16px cards, generous padding"). If the user names a style, use it. Read `base`, `style`, `iconLibrary`, `tailwindCssFile` and `aliases` from `info` before writing any code.
+
+## Step 2: Install Everything
+
+```bash
+npx shadcn@latest add --all -y
+ls <resolvedPaths.ui>/*.tsx | wc -l
+```
+
+Count the component files on disk. Never quote a component count from memory.
+
+Then wire up the providers in the app root:
+
+- Wrap the app in `TooltipProvider`.
+- Base UI: wrap the app in `Toaster` from the `toast` component and call `toast.add({ title, description, type })`. Radix: render `<Toaster />` from `sonner`.
+
+Then typecheck the app sources. In Vite apps, the root `tsc --noEmit` checks nothing because the root tsconfig only has project references:
+
+```bash
+npx tsc -p tsconfig.app.json --noEmit   # Vite.
+npx tsc --noEmit                        # Next.js.
+```
+
+Fix generated files that fail strict checks (for example, an unused `React` import) before moving on, or `vite build` will fail.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Read the DESIGN.md
+
+DESIGN.md files usually carry YAML frontmatter (`colors`, `typography`, `rounded`, `spacing`, `components`) and prose sections (Overview, Colors, Typography, Layout, Elevation, Shapes, Components, Do's and Don'ts, Responsive, Known Gaps). Some only have prose with `{colors.x}` references. Handle both.
+
+Long files exceed one read. Grep the headings first, then read frontmatter, **Do's and Don'ts**, **Iteration Guide** and **Known Gaps** in full. Those sections hold the rules that override defaults.
+
+Extract into a working table before editing anything:
+
+| Extract               | Look for                                                              |
+| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Canvas and ink        | `canvas`, `surface`, `ink`, "page floor", "body text"                 |
+| Action color + states | `primary`, `-hover`, `-active`, `-pressed`, `-disabled`, `on-primary` |
+| Secondary actions     | `button-secondary` fill, text and border                              |
+| Surfaces              | card fills, soft bands, dark product surfaces                         |
+| Lines                 | `hairline`, border alpha, "1px solid"                                 |
+| Focus                 | outline vs ring, color, width, offset, alpha                          |
+| Type families         | display, body, mono, and the documented **substitutes**               |
+| Type scale            | size, weight, line height, tracking per token                         |
+| Radius scale          | every value and what it applies to                                    |
+| Elevation             | each shadow tier, verbatim                                            |
+| Control heights       | button, input, ghost, icon-button heights and padding                 |
+| Hard rules            | every "Don't" and "never"                                             |
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Map Tokens to the Theme
+
+Edit only `tailwindCssFile`. Keep hex values when the DESIGN.md gives hex. Don't convert them to OKLCH.
+
+### Role mapping
+
+| DESIGN.md role                               | shadcn variable                                             |
+| -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| canvas / surface / page floor                | `--background`                                              |
+| ink / headline text                          | `--foreground`, `--card-foreground`, `--popover-foreground` |
+| primary CTA fill / on-primary                | `--primary` / `--primary-foreground`                        |
+| primary hover, pressed or active fill        | new `--primary-active` (or `--primary-pressed`)             |
+| secondary button fill / text                 | `--secondary` / `--secondary-foreground`                    |
+| soft band, alternating section               | `--muted`                                                   |
+| secondary or descriptive text                | `--muted-foreground`                                        |
+| ghost hover wash, active tab, menu highlight | `--accent` / `--accent-foreground`                          |
+| card / feature card fill                     | `--card`                                                    |
+| floating layer (menus, dialogs)              | `--popover` (usually the canvas)                            |
+| hairline / structural border                 | `--border`, `--input`                                       |
+| focus color                                  | `--ring`                                                    |
+| error / validation                           | `--destructive`                                             |
+| illustration accents                         | `--chart-1` … `--chart-5`, plus named tokens                |
+| sidebar or nav rail surface                  | `--sidebar-*`                                               |
+
+Every token without a shadcn slot gets a variable in `:root` (and `.dark` when it changes) and a registration in `@theme inline`:
+
+```css
+:root {
+  --primary-active: #a9583e;
+  --surface-card: #efe9de;
+}
+
+@theme inline {
+  --color-primary-active: var(--primary-active);
+  --color-surface-card: var(--surface-card);
+}
+```
+
+### Radius
+
+A DESIGN.md radius scale rarely fits the `--radius` multipliers. Pin each step in `@theme inline` instead. These are the classes base-nova components use:
+
+| Class         | Used by                                         |
+| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| `rounded-sm`  | Small accents                                   |
+| `rounded-md`  | Menu, select and command items                  |
+| `rounded-lg`  | Buttons, inputs, selects, tabs, popovers, menus |
+| `rounded-xl`  | Cards, dialogs, command                         |
+| `rounded-2xl` | Toasts, large containers                        |
+| `rounded-4xl` | Badges (pill)                                   |
+
+```css
+@theme inline {
+  /* DESIGN.md step → Tailwind class used by that component. */
+  --radius-sm: 4px; /* xs: accents. */
+  --radius-md: 6px; /* sm: menu items. */
+  --radius-lg: 8px; /* md: buttons, inputs. */
+  --radius-xl: 12px; /* lg: cards, dialogs. */
+  --radius-2xl: 16px; /* xl: toasts, hero containers. */
+  --radius-3xl: 16px;
+  --radius-4xl: 9999px; /* pill: badges. */
+}
+```
+
+Replace the existing `--radius-*` lines in `@theme inline` rather than adding a second block. Confirm the classes for the installed style:
+
+```bash
+grep -ohE "rounded-(\[[^ \"]+\]|[a-z0-9]+)" <ui>/*.tsx | sort | uniq -c
+```
+
+`rounded-[min(var(--radius-md),Npx)]` caps small buttons and select triggers. Edit the cap when the DESIGN.md wants rounder small controls.
+
+### Elevation
+
+Override Tailwind's shadow scale in `@theme`, not `@theme inline`. Copy multi-layer shadows verbatim. Set `--shadow-xs` to `0 0 #0000` when the system is hairline-only, because inputs and outline buttons use it.
+
+```css
+@theme {
+  --shadow-xs: 0 0 #0000;
+  --shadow-sm: 0 1px 3px rgb(20 20 19 / 0.08);
+  --shadow-lg: 0 1px 3px rgb(20 20 19 / 0.08), 0 8px 24px rgb(20 20 19 / 0.06);
+}
+```
+
+### Fonts
+
+Brand fonts are usually licensed. Use the substitutes the DESIGN.md names, installed from Fontsource with the project's package manager, and import every face you reference at the top of the CSS file:
+
+```bash
+npm install @fontsource-variable/inter @fontsource-variable/cormorant-garamond @fontsource-variable/jetbrains-mono
+```
+
+```css
+@import "@fontsource-variable/inter";
+@import "@fontsource-variable/cormorant-garamond";
+@import "@fontsource-variable/jetbrains-mono";
+
+@theme inline {
+  --font-sans: "Inter Variable", -apple-system, system-ui, sans-serif;
+  --font-serif: "Cormorant Garamond Variable", Garamond, serif;
+  --font-mono: "JetBrains Mono Variable", ui-monospace, monospace;
+  --font-heading: var(--font-sans);
+}
+```
+
+`--font-heading` styles small component titles (`CardTitle`, `DialogTitle`, `SheetTitle`). Point it at the display face only when that face reads well at 16px. Otherwise keep it on the sans and use display tokens for page headings.
+
+### Type scale
+
+Turn every typography token into a `type-*` utility. Don't use `--text-*` theme keys for this, because `cn()` treats unknown `text-*` classes as colors and drops whichever comes first when one sits next to `text-muted-foreground`.
+
+```css
+@utility type-display-lg {
+  font-family: var(--font-serif);
+  font-size: clamp(34px, 3vw + 16px, 48px);
+  font-weight: 500;
+  line-height: 1.1;
+  letter-spacing: -0.021em;
+}
+
+@utility type-caption-upper {
+  font-size: 12px;
+  font-weight: 500;
+  letter-spacing: 1.5px;
+  text-transform: uppercase;
+}
+```
+
+- Clamp display sizes so mobile works. Convert pixel tracking to `em` (`-1px / 48px = -0.021em`) so the ratio holds as the size shrinks.
+- Respect the rules on tracking (none below a size) and weight (display never bold).
+
+### Dark mode
+
+- **DESIGN.md defines dark surfaces** (product mockups, footers): put them in `.dark`. Because shadcn's `@custom-variant dark (&:is(.dark *))` scopes to descendants, `className="dark"` on any section renders every component inside it with dark tokens. Use it for dark bands, featured pricing cards and footers.
+- **DESIGN.md is light-only**: derive `.dark` from the brand's known dark surfaces and tell the user it's derived.
+
+### Focus
+
+Match the documented focus treatment:
+
+- **Ring with alpha** (for example "3px coral at 15%"): replace `ring-ring/50` with the documented alpha on field components (`input`, `textarea`, `input-group`, `select`, `native-select`, `combobox`, `input-otp`).
+- **Solid outline with offset**: add an unlayered rule so it beats `outline-none`, and cancel the ring shadow:
+
+```css
+:is(
+  button,
+  a[href],
+  [role="button"],
+  [role="tab"],
+  [role="checkbox"],
+  [role="radio"],
+  [role="switch"],
+  [role="slider"]
+):focus-visible {
+  outline: 2px solid var(--ring);
+  outline-offset: 2px;
+  --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000;
+}
+```
+
+This covers actions only. Field controls keep their ring. When the DESIGN.md applies the outline to fields too, add `input, textarea, select, [role="combobox"]` to the selector.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Map Component Recipes to Variants
+
+Restyle by editing the `cva` variants in the installed component source. Keep existing variant names so usage stays standard. Add a variant only when the DESIGN.md defines a distinct recipe.
+
+| DESIGN.md recipe                     | shadcn target                                |
+| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
+| `button-primary`                     | `Button` `default`                           |
+| `button-secondary` (tinted fill)     | `Button` `secondary`                         |
+| `button-secondary` (canvas + border) | `Button` `outline`                           |
+| `button-ghost`, nav links            | `Button` `ghost`                             |
+| text link                            | `Button` `link`                              |
+| circular icon button                 | `Button` `icon*` sizes + `rounded-full`      |
+| `badge-pill`, `badge-<accent>`       | `Badge` `secondary`, `default`, new variants |
+| `card`, `feature-card`               | `Card` (fill, ring, `--card-spacing`)        |
+| `text-input`, `-focused`             | `Input`, `InputGroup`, `Select`, `Textarea`  |
+| `category-tab`, filter row           | `Tabs` `default` list + trigger              |
+
+**Control heights move together.** When the button height changes, change the field controls to match, or forms misalign. In base-nova the 32px default lives in:
+
+| File                | Class                            |
+| ------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| `button.tsx`        | `h-8`, `size-8` (icon)           |
+| `input.tsx`         | `h-8`                            |
+| `input-group.tsx`   | `h-8`                            |
+| `select.tsx`        | `data-[size=default]:h-8`        |
+| `native-select.tsx` | `h-8`                            |
+| `combobox.tsx`      | `min-h-8` (chips)                |
+| `toggle.tsx`        | `h-8 min-w-8`                    |
+| `input-otp.tsx`     | `size-8` (slot)                  |
+| `tabs.tsx`          | `group-data-horizontal/tabs:h-8` |
+| `menubar.tsx`       | `h-8`                            |
+| `command.tsx`       | `h-8!` (input group)             |
+
+Re-grep before editing (`grep -n "\bh-8\b\|size-8\b" <ui>/*.tsx`); other styles use different values.
+
+**States.** Follow the documented states exactly. If the DESIGN.md says "darken on press only", use `active:` instead of `hover:`. Keep hover on ghost buttons and menu items even when the spec omits it, and tell the user you did.
+
+**Hard rules.** Turn each "Don't" into a check before you finish, for example: no radius outside the scale, no accent color on buttons, no bold display type.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6: Build the Design System Page
+
+Follow [design-system-page.md](./design-system-page.md). It sets the section outline, how to present each foundation, the component tiers and block anatomy, pinned state matrices, edge cases, do/don't pairs, and recipes.
+
+In short:
+
+1. Foundations first: color roles as contrast-checked pairs, palette, type specimen table, spacing, radius and elevation ladders.
+2. Components by tier: primitives get a variant × state matrix, size ladder and icon row. Composed components get a typical example, additions and edge cases. Overlays get real triggers.
+3. Then rendered do/don't pairs for the DESIGN.md's rules, the DESIGN.md's named recipes rebuilt from components, and one example screen.
+
+Copy the helpers from `assets/showcase/` (`preview-states.css`, `state-matrix.tsx`, `color-pair.tsx`). Put sections in `src/showcase/<section>.tsx` (Vite) or `app/design-system/` (Next.js). Write copy in the brand's voice.
+
+### Known traps
+
+| Component           | Trap                                                                        | Fix                                                                         |
+| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `Command` inline    | cmdk scrolls its first item into view on mount, which jumps the page to it. | Control it: `value={value} onValueChange={setValue}` with initial `"none"`. |
+| `Sidebar`           | Default sidebar is `fixed` and escapes the preview frame.                   | `<SidebarProvider className="min-h-0">` + `<Sidebar collapsible="none">`.   |
+| `MessageFooter`     | Placed beside `MessageContent`, it becomes a squeezed flex column.          | Put it inside `MessageContent`.                                             |
+| `Select` (base)     | `SelectValue` shows the raw value.                                          | Pass `items` to `Select`.                                                   |
+| `Resizable`         | react-resizable-panels v4 dropped `direction` and numeric sizes.            | `orientation="horizontal"`, `defaultSize="40%"`.                            |
+| `DirectionProvider` | Provider alone doesn't flip layout.                                         | Also set `dir="rtl"` on the wrapper.                                        |
+| `NavigationMenu`    | The content is clipped by the example frame.                                | Leave bottom padding in that frame.                                         |
+| Header nav links    | `Button` renders a `<button>`.                                              | Base: `nativeButton={false} render={<a href="#…" />}`. Radix: `asChild`.    |
+
+### Coverage check
+
+```bash
+node <skill-dir>/scripts/showcase-coverage.mjs src/components/ui src   # Vite.
+node <skill-dir>/scripts/showcase-coverage.mjs components/ui app      # Next.js.
+```
+
+It lists every component file that no showcase file imports. Fix the list until it's empty. `add --all` installs both `toast` and `sonner` in Base UI projects; show `sonner` in Feedback next to `toast` so the list can reach zero.
+
+---
+
+## Step 7: Verify
+
+Start the dev server and check it in a browser:
+
+1. App typecheck passes (see Step 2).
+2. No console errors.
+3. Loads at `scrollY === 0`. Anything else means a component is stealing scroll on mount.
+4. No horizontal overflow at 375px and 1280px: `document.documentElement.scrollWidth <= innerWidth`.
+5. Screenshot the hero, Foundations, one form section and one dark band. Compare against the DESIGN.md: canvas color, CTA color, display font, radius, focus ring.
+6. Toggle dark mode once.
+

    - **Skip**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`. Only updates config and CSS, leaves components as-is.
    - **Important**: Always run preset commands inside the user's project directory. `apply` only works in an existing project with a `components.json` file. The CLI automatically preserves the current base (`base` vs `radix`) from `components.json`. If you must use a scratch/temp directory (e.g. for `--dry-run` comparisons), pass `--base <current-base>` explicitly — preset codes do not encode the base.
 
+## Design Systems from DESIGN.md
+
+When the user asks for a design system from a `DESIGN.md` (or a brand spec), with or without a preset, follow [design-system.md](./design-system.md) end to end:
+
+1. `init --preset <code> --template <vite|next> --name <app> --no-monorepo -y`. Without a preset code, pick the closest style and pass `--base base --preset <style>`. Then `add --all -y`.
+2. Read the DESIGN.md frontmatter, Do's and Don'ts, and Known Gaps before editing.
+3. Map its tokens onto the shadcn variables in `tailwindCssFile`. Pin the radius scale, shadows, fonts and `type-*` utilities.
+4. Restyle components by editing their `cva` variants. Change control heights together.
+5. Build the design system page per [design-system-page.md](./design-system-page.md): contrast-checked color roles, type specimens, pinned state matrices, edge cases, do/don't pairs, recipes. Check coverage with `scripts/showcase-coverage.mjs`.
+6. Verify in a browser: typecheck, no console errors, loads at the top, no horizontal overflow, dark mode.

+# The Design System Page
+
+What goes on a design system page, and how to show it. Distilled from Primer, Carbon, Atlassian, GitLab Pajamas, Cloudscape, Twilio Paste, Salesforce Lightning, Material 3, Evergreen and Orbit, and from EightShapes' component documentation guidance.

+
+## Principles
+
+1. **Foundations, then components, then compositions.** Every mature system follows this order (Primer, Carbon, Paste, Cloudscape, M3).
+2. **Roles, not palettes.** Show each color as a surface paired with its foreground and the measured contrast. The raw palette comes second.
+3. **Lead with the typical case.** Each component opens with its most common use in real content. Then come variants in priority order, then shared axes (size, icon), then states.
+4. **Pin states so reviewers can see them.** Hover, focus and pressed render side by side without interaction. Use one consistent label, and never put the state name inside the component.
+5. **Don't render every combination.** Primitives get a variant × state matrix. Composed components get a typical example plus additions. Exhaustive combinations belong in tests (Material 3 cut its list kit from 700+ variants to about 45).
+6. **Real content in the brand's voice.** No lorem ipsum. Include the awkward cases: long text, empty, error, loading.
+7. **Composition proves the system.** End with the DESIGN.md's own recipes and one realistic screen built only from the tokens and components.
+8. **Make the DESIGN.md's rules visible.** Turn its Do's and Don'ts into rendered do/don't pairs.

+## Page Outline
+
+| #   | Section                    | Contents                                                                                                                             |
+| --- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| 1   | Header                     | System name, "Themed from DESIGN.md", section anchors, light/dark toggle, primary CTA.                                               |
+| 2   | Overview                   | The DESIGN.md hero recipe: display type, one-line personality, its signature artifact.                                               |
+| 3   | Foundations                | Color roles, palette, typography, spacing, radius, elevation, motion (if specified), icons.                                          |
+| 4   | Actions                    | Button, ButtonGroup, Toggle, ToggleGroup, Badge, Kbd.                                                                                |
+| 5   | Inputs                     | Field, Input, InputGroup, Textarea, Select, NativeSelect, Combobox, Checkbox, RadioGroup, Switch, Slider, InputOTP, Calendar, Label. |
+| 6   | Navigation                 | Tabs, Breadcrumb, Pagination, NavigationMenu, Menubar, Sidebar.                                                                      |
+| 7   | Data display               | Card, Table, Chart, Item, Avatar, Accordion, Collapsible, Carousel, ScrollArea, Resizable, AspectRatio, Separator.                   |
+| 8   | Feedback                   | Alert, toast (and Sonner in Base UI projects), Progress, Spinner, Skeleton, Empty.                                                   |
+| 9   | Overlays                   | Dialog, AlertDialog, Sheet, Drawer, Popover, HoverCard, Tooltip, DropdownMenu, ContextMenu, Command.                                 |
+| 10  | Conversation               | MessageScroller, Message, Bubble, Attachment, Marker, Questionnaire. See [rules/chat.md](./rules/chat.md).                           |
+| 11  | Do and Don't               | Rendered pairs for the DESIGN.md's rules.                                                                                            |
+| 12  | Recipes and example screen | The DESIGN.md's named components, then one realistic screen.                                                                         |
+| 13  | Footer                     | The DESIGN.md footer recipe.                                                                                                         |
+
+DirectionProvider goes wherever RTL matters (an RTL row in Inputs or Navigation).
+
+Alternate section surfaces the way the DESIGN.md paces its bands. Use `className="dark"` on a section to render a dark band with the same components.
+
+---
+
+## Foundations
+
+### Color roles
+
+A grid of pairs, each rendered as the surface with "Aa" in its foreground color, plus the token names, resolved value and measured contrast (Paste, Material 3, Pajamas):
+
+| Pair                                  | Required     |
+| ------------------------------------- | ------------ |
+| `background` / `foreground`           | Yes          |
+| `card` / `card-foreground`            | Yes          |
+| `popover` / `popover-foreground`      | Yes          |
+| `primary` / `primary-foreground`      | Yes          |
+| `secondary` / `secondary-foreground`  | Yes          |
+| `muted` / `muted-foreground`          | Yes          |
+| `accent` / `accent-foreground`        | Yes          |
+| `destructive` on `background`         | Yes          |
+| Each extra text token on `background` | When defined |
+
+Use `ColorPair` from the helpers. It measures contrast live and re-measures when the theme changes. Report any pair below 4.5:1 for body-size text, even when the DESIGN.md specifies it. A brand primary at 3:1 behind 14px labels is a real finding.
+
+### Palette
+
+Swatches grouped the way the DESIGN.md groups them (brand, surfaces, text, status, accents). Label each with its DESIGN.md name and token, for example "Warm Stone · `surface-warm`". Show `border`, `input`, `ring`, `chart-1…5` and `sidebar-*` here too.
+
+### Typography
+
+A specimen table, one row per type token (Cloudscape, Carbon, Atlassian):
+
+| Column   | Content                                           |
+| -------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| Token    | `type-display-lg`                                 |
+| Spec     | size / line height / weight / tracking            |
+| Use      | "Section heads", taken from the DESIGN.md         |
+| Specimen | Real copy set in the token, truncated to one line |
+
+Group the rows display → title → body → label/caption → code. Below the table, show one paragraph of running text at body size, with a link and inline code, so line length and rhythm are visible.
+
+### Spacing
+
+The base unit and the scale as labeled horizontal bars (Carbon, Atlassian), then a semantic ladder: inside a component, between related items, between groups, between sections (Pajamas). Skip it if the DESIGN.md defines no spacing.
+
+### Radius
+
+The same box at every step, labeled with the token, the value and what uses it (Material 3). Example: `md · 8px · buttons, inputs`.
+
+### Elevation
+
+Each level as a raised surface with the components that rest there (Pajamas, Material 3): flat for canvas and bands, hairline for cards, soft for popovers and menus, deep for dialogs.
+
+### Motion and icons
+
+Show motion only if the DESIGN.md defines durations or easings: a table of token, milliseconds and use. For icons, show one row with the icon library at each size used by components, in `foreground` and `muted-foreground`.
+
+---
+
+## Components: Tiers and Block Anatomy
+
+### Tiers
+
+| Tier         | Components                                                                                                                                                                                                            | How to show                                                         |
+| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Primitives   | Button, Badge, Toggle, ToggleGroup, Input, Textarea, Select, NativeSelect, Checkbox, RadioGroup, Switch, Slider, Tabs                                                                                                 | Variant × state matrix, size ladder, icon row.                      |
+| Fields       | Field, InputGroup, Combobox, InputOTP, Calendar, Label                                                                                                                                                                | Typical field, then description, error, disabled, required.         |
+| Composed     | Card, Table, Item, Avatar, Alert, Empty, toast, Sonner, Accordion, Collapsible, Breadcrumb, Pagination, Progress, Skeleton, Spinner, Carousel, Chart, ScrollArea, Resizable, AspectRatio, Separator, Kbd, ButtonGroup | Typical example, then one element added at a time, then edge cases. |
+| Overlays     | Dialog, AlertDialog, Sheet, Drawer, Popover, HoverCard, Tooltip, DropdownMenu, ContextMenu, Menubar, NavigationMenu, Command                                                                                          | A real trigger per overlay, labeled with what it opens.             |
+| Shell        | Sidebar, DirectionProvider                                                                                                                                                                                            | Inline in a framed preview (`collapsible="none"`).                  |
+| Conversation | MessageScroller, Message, Bubble, Attachment, Marker, Questionnaire                                                                                                                                                   | One realistic thread, then variant rows.                            |
+
+### Block anatomy
+
+Each component block, in this order. Skip the parts that don't apply:
+
+1. **Name and one line on when to use it.** Take the wording from the DESIGN.md recipe when there is one.
+2. **Typical example** in real content.
+3. **Variants** in priority order (primary before secondary before ghost), each with a one-line "when".
+4. **Sizes** as a ladder, smallest to largest.
+5. **With icon**: leading, trailing, icon-only.
+6. **States**: the matrix for primitives, single examples for the rest.
+7. **Edge cases** (see below).
+
+Wide components (Table, NavigationMenu, Menubar, Sidebar, Chart, MessageScroller) span the full row.
+
+---
+
+## States Without Interaction
+
+Pin interaction states with a `data-preview` attribute. Override the hover, focus-visible and active variants so each also matches the attribute. Copy [assets/showcase/preview-states.css](./assets/showcase/preview-states.css) into `tailwindCssFile`:
+
+```css
+@custom-variant hover {
+  @media (hover: hover) {
+    &:hover {
+      @slot;
+    }
+  }
+  &[data-preview~="hover"] {
+    @slot;
+  }
+}
+@custom-variant focus-visible (&:focus-visible, &[data-preview~="focus"]);
+@custom-variant active (&:active, &[data-preview~="active"]);
+```
+
+If the theme adds an unlayered focus rule (for an outline-style focus), add `[data-preview~="focus"]` to its selector too.
+
+Render the matrix with `StateMatrix` and `previewState` from the helpers:
+
+```tsx
+const variants = ["default", "secondary", "outline", "ghost", "destructive", "link"] as const
+
+<StateMatrix
+  rows={variants}
+  render={(variant, state) => (
+    <Button variant={variant} {...previewState(state)}>
+      Save draft
+    </Button>
+  )}
+/>
+```
+
+The columns are default, hover, focus, active and disabled. Add `loading` with Spinner + `disabled` for Button, and `invalid` (`aria-invalid`) for fields:
+
+```tsx
+<StateMatrix
+  rows={["input"] as const}
+  states={["default", "hover", "focus", "disabled", "invalid"]}
+  render={(_, state) => (
+    <Input
+      placeholder="you@company.com"
+      aria-invalid={state === "invalid" || undefined}
+      {...previewState(state)}
+    />
+  )}
+/>
+```
+
+If the DESIGN.md says a state doesn't change ("primary darkens on press only"), leave that column identical. The matrix shows the spec is followed.
+
+---
+
+## Edge Cases
+
+Show these next to the component they stress:
+
+| Case          | Where                                                                     |
+| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Long text     | Button label, Badge, Item title, Table cell, Breadcrumb (truncation).     |
+| Empty         | Table with no rows → Empty, Combobox with no matches, empty Command.      |
+| Error         | Field with FieldError, Alert destructive, Attachment `state="error"`.     |
+| Loading       | Button with Spinner, Skeleton for Card and Item, Progress, toast loading. |
+| Many items    | AvatarGroup with count, Pagination with ellipsis, ScrollArea list.        |
+| Missing image | Avatar falling back to AvatarFallback.                                    |
+| Disabled      | Every field and its Field `data-disabled`.                                |
+| RTL           | One row inside `DirectionProvider` with `dir="rtl"`.                      |
+
+---
+
+## Do and Don't
+
+Pick the two to four DESIGN.md rules that are easiest to break and render each as a pair (Primer, Orbit, Carbon):
+
+```tsx
+<div className="grid gap-4 md:grid-cols-2">
+  <Example title="Do">
+    <Button>Get started</Button>
+    <Button variant="outline">Contact sales</Button>
+  </Example>
+  <Example title="Don't">
+    <Button>Get started</Button>
+    <Button>Contact sales</Button>
+  </Example>
+</div>
+```
+
+Caption each with the rule in one line, for example "One primary action per group." Mark Don't with `destructive` text, not a new color.
+
+---
+
+## Recipes and Example Screens
+
+**Recipes.** Build each named component in the DESIGN.md (`hero-band`, `feature-card`, `pricing-tier-card`, `callout-card-coral`, `footer`) from shadcn components and tokens. These are the spec's acceptance tests. If a recipe can't be built without raw values, the token mapping is incomplete.
+
+**Example screen.** One realistic screen in the brand's domain (Cloudscape demos, Paste page templates): a settings page (FieldGroup, Switch, Select, Button) or a list view (Table, Badge, Pagination, Empty). Use only tokens and components.
+
+---
+
+## Helpers
+
+Copy from `assets/showcase/` into the showcase folder:
+
+| File                 | Purpose                                                                    |
+| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `preview-states.css` | Variant overrides that pin hover, focus and active through `data-preview`. |
+| `state-matrix.tsx`   | `StateMatrix` (labeled variant × state table) and `previewState(state)`.   |
+| `color-pair.tsx`     | `ColorPair`: surface + foreground with live contrast ratio and WCAG level. |
+
+They import `cn` from `@/lib/utils`. Rewrite that path to the project's `utils` alias.
+
+---
+

+| DESIGN.md | Required                            | A path, URL or pasted content. Copy it into the new app root as `DESIGN.md`.                                                             |
+| Template  | `vite`                              | Use `next` when the user says Next.js, App Router or SSR.                                                                                |
+| App name  | Derived from the brand in DESIGN.md | Kebab-case.                                                                                                                              |
+| Base      | `base`                              | Pass `--base` when no preset code is given. Use `radix` only when the user asks. `info --json` after init decides `render` vs `asChild`. |
+
+If the DESIGN.md path can't be read (macOS privacy blocks `~/Downloads` and `~/Desktop` for some hosts), ask the user to copy it into the working directory. Don't guess its contents.
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Scaffold
+
+With a preset code from the user:
+
+```bash
+npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --template vite --name <app> --no-monorepo -y
+```
+
+Without one, pick the style whose geometry is closest to the DESIGN.md and pass it with `--base`:
+
+```bash
+npx shadcn@latest init --base base --preset <style> --template vite --name <app> --no-monorepo -y
+```
+
+Then:
+
+```bash
+cd <app>
+npx shadcn@latest info --json
+```
+
+`init` with neither `--preset` nor `--base` stops at an interactive library prompt, even with `-y`. Always pass one of them, plus `--no-monorepo`.
+
+### Picking a style
+
+The theme gets replaced by the DESIGN.md anyway. The style decides geometry the CSS variables can't reach: control padding, density, how rounded and how raised the components are. Read the DESIGN.md's radius scale, control heights, shadows and layout density, then pick:
+
+| Style  | Character                                             | Pick when the DESIGN.md has                                            |
+| ------ | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `vega` | The classic shadcn/ui look.                           | Neutral, conventional SaaS geometry; nothing extreme.                  |
+| `nova` | Reduced padding and margins for compact layouts.      | 32–36px controls, 6–8px radius, hairlines over shadows.                |
+| `maia` | Soft and rounded, with generous spacing.              | 40px+ controls, 12px+ card radius, generous padding, editorial pacing. |
+| `lyra` | Boxy and sharp.                                       | 0–4px radius, hard edges, mono or technical type.                      |
+| `mira` | Compact.                                              | Dense data UIs, 28–32px controls, tight tables.                        |
+| `luma` | Rounded geometry, soft elevation, breathable layouts. | Pill buttons, soft layered shadows, glassy or macOS-like surfaces.     |
+| `rhea` | Luma, but more compact.                               | Luma's softness with product-UI density.                               |
+| `sera` | Editorial and typographic.                            | Serif display type, editorial pacing, magazine-like hierarchy.         |
+
+State the choice and the reason in one line ("Picked maia: 40px controls, 12–16px cards, generous padding"). If the user names a style, use it. Read `base`, `style`, `iconLibrary`, `tailwindCssFile` and `aliases` from `info` before writing any code.
+
+## Step 2: Install Everything
+
+```bash
+npx shadcn@latest add --all -y
+ls <resolvedPaths.ui>/*.tsx | wc -l
+```
+
+Count the component files on disk. Never quote a component count from memory.
+
+Then wire up the providers in the app root:
+
+- Wrap the app in `TooltipProvider`.
+- Base UI: wrap the app in `Toaster` from the `toast` component and call `toast.add({ title, description, type })`. Radix: render `<Toaster />` from `sonner`.
+
+Then typecheck the app sources. In Vite apps, the root `tsc --noEmit` checks nothing because the root tsconfig only has project references:
+
+```bash
+npx tsc -p tsconfig.app.json --noEmit   # Vite.
+npx tsc --noEmit                        # Next.js.
+```
+
+Fix generated files that fail strict checks (for example, an unused `React` import) before moving on, or `vite build` will fail.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3: Read the DESIGN.md
+
+DESIGN.md files usually carry YAML frontmatter (`colors`, `typography`, `rounded`, `spacing`, `components`) and prose sections (Overview, Colors, Typography, Layout, Elevation, Shapes, Components, Do's and Don'ts, Responsive, Known Gaps). Some only have prose with `{colors.x}` references. Handle both.
+
+Long files exceed one read. Grep the headings first, then read frontmatter, **Do's and Don'ts**, **Iteration Guide** and **Known Gaps** in full. Those sections hold the rules that override defaults.
+
+Extract into a working table before editing anything:
+
+| Extract               | Look for                                                              |
+| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Canvas and ink        | `canvas`, `surface`, `ink`, "page floor", "body text"                 |
+| Action color + states | `primary`, `-hover`, `-active`, `-pressed`, `-disabled`, `on-primary` |
+| Secondary actions     | `button-secondary` fill, text and border                              |
+| Surfaces              | card fills, soft bands, dark product surfaces                         |
+| Lines                 | `hairline`, border alpha, "1px solid"                                 |
+| Focus                 | outline vs ring, color, width, offset, alpha                          |
+| Type families         | display, body, mono, and the documented **substitutes**               |
+| Type scale            | size, weight, line height, tracking per token                         |
+| Radius scale          | every value and what it applies to                                    |
+| Elevation             | each shadow tier, verbatim                                            |
+| Control heights       | button, input, ghost, icon-button heights and padding                 |
+| Hard rules            | every "Don't" and "never"                                             |
+
+---
+
+## Step 4: Map Tokens to the Theme
+
+Edit only `tailwindCssFile`. Keep hex values when the DESIGN.md gives hex. Don't convert them to OKLCH.
+
+### Role mapping
+
+| DESIGN.md role                               | shadcn variable                                             |
+| -------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| canvas / surface / page floor                | `--background`                                              |
+| ink / headline text                          | `--foreground`, `--card-foreground`, `--popover-foreground` |
+| primary CTA fill / on-primary                | `--primary` / `--primary-foreground`                        |
+| primary hover, pressed or active fill        | new `--primary-active` (or `--primary-pressed`)             |
+| secondary button fill / text                 | `--secondary` / `--secondary-foreground`                    |
+| soft band, alternating section               | `--muted`                                                   |
+| secondary or descriptive text                | `--muted-foreground`                                        |
+| ghost hover wash, active tab, menu highlight | `--accent` / `--accent-foreground`                          |
+| card / feature card fill                     | `--card`                                                    |
+| floating layer (menus, dialogs)              | `--popover` (usually the canvas)                            |
+| hairline / structural border                 | `--border`, `--input`                                       |
+| focus color                                  | `--ring`                                                    |
+| error / validation                           | `--destructive`                                             |
+| illustration accents                         | `--chart-1` … `--chart-5`, plus named tokens                |
+| sidebar or nav rail surface                  | `--sidebar-*`                                               |
+
+Every token without a shadcn slot gets a variable in `:root` (and `.dark` when it changes) and a registration in `@theme inline`:
+
+```css
+:root {
+  --primary-active: #a9583e;
+  --surface-card: #efe9de;
+}
+
+@theme inline {
+  --color-primary-active: var(--primary-active);
+  --color-surface-card: var(--surface-card);
+}
+```
+
+### Radius
+
+A DESIGN.md radius scale rarely fits the `--radius` multipliers. Pin each step in `@theme inline` instead. These are the classes base-nova components use:
+
+| Class         | Used by                                         |
+| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| `rounded-sm`  | Small accents                                   |
+| `rounded-md`  | Menu, select and command items                  |
+| `rounded-lg`  | Buttons, inputs, selects, tabs, popovers, menus |
+| `rounded-xl`  | Cards, dialogs, command                         |
+| `rounded-2xl` | Toasts, large containers                        |
+| `rounded-4xl` | Badges (pill)                                   |
+
+```css
+@theme inline {
+  /* DESIGN.md step → Tailwind class used by that component. */
+  --radius-sm: 4px; /* xs: accents. */
+  --radius-md: 6px; /* sm: menu items. */
+  --radius-lg: 8px; /* md: buttons, inputs. */
+  --radius-xl: 12px; /* lg: cards, dialogs. */
+  --radius-2xl: 16px; /* xl: toasts, hero containers. */
+  --radius-3xl: 16px;
+  --radius-4xl: 9999px; /* pill: badges. */
+}
+```
+
+Replace the existing `--radius-*` lines in `@theme inline` rather than adding a second block. Confirm the classes for the installed style:
+
+```bash
+grep -ohE "rounded-(\[[^ \"]+\]|[a-z0-9]+)" <ui>/*.tsx | sort | uniq -c
+```
+
+`rounded-[min(var(--radius-md),Npx)]` caps small buttons and select triggers. Edit the cap when the DESIGN.md wants rounder small controls.
+
+### Elevation
+
+Override Tailwind's shadow scale in `@theme`, not `@theme inline`. Copy multi-layer shadows verbatim. Set `--shadow-xs` to `0 0 #0000` when the system is hairline-only, because inputs and outline buttons use it.
+
+```css
+@theme {
+  --shadow-xs: 0 0 #0000;
+  --shadow-sm: 0 1px 3px rgb(20 20 19 / 0.08);
+  --shadow-lg: 0 1px 3px rgb(20 20 19 / 0.08), 0 8px 24px rgb(20 20 19 / 0.06);
+}
+```
+
+### Fonts
+
+Brand fonts are usually licensed. Use the substitutes the DESIGN.md names, installed from Fontsource with the project's package manager, and import every face you reference at the top of the CSS file:
+
+```bash
+npm install @fontsource-variable/inter @fontsource-variable/cormorant-garamond @fontsource-variable/jetbrains-mono
+```
+
+```css
+@import "@fontsource-variable/inter";
+@import "@fontsource-variable/cormorant-garamond";
+@import "@fontsource-variable/jetbrains-mono";
+
+@theme inline {
+  --font-sans: "Inter Variable", -apple-system, system-ui, sans-serif;
+  --font-serif: "Cormorant Garamond Variable", Garamond, serif;
+  --font-mono: "JetBrains Mono Variable", ui-monospace, monospace;
+  --font-heading: var(--font-sans);
+}
+```
+
+`--font-heading` styles small component titles (`CardTitle`, `DialogTitle`, `SheetTitle`). Point it at the display face only when that face reads well at 16px. Otherwise keep it on the sans and use display tokens for page headings.
+
+### Type scale
+
+Turn every typography token into a `type-*` utility. Don't use `--text-*` theme keys for this, because `cn()` treats unknown `text-*` classes as colors and drops whichever comes first when one sits next to `text-muted-foreground`.
+
+```css
+@utility type-display-lg {
+  font-family: var(--font-serif);
+  font-size: clamp(34px, 3vw + 16px, 48px);
+  font-weight: 500;
+  line-height: 1.1;
+  letter-spacing: -0.021em;
+}
+
+@utility type-caption-upper {
+  font-size: 12px;
+  font-weight: 500;
+  letter-spacing: 1.5px;
+  text-transform: uppercase;
+}
+```
+
+- Clamp display sizes so mobile works. Convert pixel tracking to `em` (`-1px / 48px = -0.021em`) so the ratio holds as the size shrinks.
+- Respect the rules on tracking (none below a size) and weight (display never bold).
+
+### Dark mode
+
+- **DESIGN.md defines dark surfaces** (product mockups, footers): put them in `.dark`. Because shadcn's `@custom-variant dark (&:is(.dark *))` scopes to descendants, `className="dark"` on any section renders every component inside it with dark tokens. Use it for dark bands, featured pricing cards and footers.
+- **DESIGN.md is light-only**: derive `.dark` from the brand's known dark surfaces and tell the user it's derived.
+
+### Focus
+
+Match the documented focus treatment:
+
+- **Ring with alpha** (for example "3px coral at 15%"): replace `ring-ring/50` with the documented alpha on field components (`input`, `textarea`, `input-group`, `select`, `native-select`, `combobox`, `input-otp`).
+- **Solid outline with offset**: add an unlayered rule so it beats `outline-none`, and cancel the ring shadow:
+
+```css
+:is(
+  button,
+  a[href],
+  [role="button"],
+  [role="tab"],
+  [role="checkbox"],
+  [role="radio"],
+  [role="switch"],
+  [role="slider"]
+):focus-visible {
+  outline: 2px solid var(--ring);
+  outline-offset: 2px;
+  --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000;
+}
+```
+
+This covers actions only. Field controls keep their ring. When the DESIGN.md applies the outline to fields too, add `input, textarea, select, [role="combobox"]` to the selector.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5: Map Component Recipes to Variants
+
+Restyle by editing the `cva` variants in the installed component source. Keep existing variant names so usage stays standard. Add a variant only when the DESIGN.md defines a distinct recipe.
+
+| DESIGN.md recipe                     | shadcn target                                |
+| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
+| `button-primary`                     | `Button` `default`                           |
+| `button-secondary` (tinted fill)     | `Button` `secondary`                         |
+| `button-secondary` (canvas + border) | `Button` `outline`                           |
+| `button-ghost`, nav links            | `Button` `ghost`                             |
+| text link                            | `Button` `link`                              |
+| circular icon button                 | `Button` `icon*` sizes + `rounded-full`      |
+| `badge-pill`, `badge-<accent>`       | `Badge` `secondary`, `default`, new variants |
+| `card`, `feature-card`               | `Card` (fill, ring, `--card-spacing`)        |
+| `text-input`, `-focused`             | `Input`, `InputGroup`, `Select`, `Textarea`  |
+| `category-tab`, filter row           | `Tabs` `default` list + trigger              |
+
+**Control heights move together.** When the button height changes, change the field controls to match, or forms misalign. In base-nova the 32px default lives in:
+
+| File                | Class                            |
+| ------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| `button.tsx`        | `h-8`, `size-8` (icon)           |
+| `input.tsx`         | `h-8`                            |
+| `input-group.tsx`   | `h-8`                            |
+| `select.tsx`        | `data-[size=default]:h-8`        |
+| `native-select.tsx` | `h-8`                            |
+| `combobox.tsx`      | `min-h-8` (chips)                |
+| `toggle.tsx`        | `h-8 min-w-8`                    |
+| `input-otp.tsx`     | `size-8` (slot)                  |
+| `tabs.tsx`          | `group-data-horizontal/tabs:h-8` |
+| `menubar.tsx`       | `h-8`                            |
+| `command.tsx`       | `h-8!` (input group)             |
+
+Re-grep before editing (`grep -n "\bh-8\b\|size-8\b" <ui>/*.tsx`); other styles use different values.
+
+**States.** Follow the documented states exactly. If the DESIGN.md says "darken on press only", use `active:` instead of `hover:`. Keep hover on ghost buttons and menu items even when the spec omits it, and tell the user you did.
+
+**Hard rules.** Turn each "Don't" into a check before you finish, for example: no radius outside the scale, no accent color on buttons, no bold display type.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6: Build the Design System Page
+
+Follow [design-system-page.md](./design-system-page.md). It sets the section outline, how to present each foundation, the component tiers and block anatomy, pinned state matrices, edge cases, do/don't pairs, and recipes.
+
+In short:
+
+1. Foundations first: color roles as contrast-checked pairs, palette, type specimen table, spacing, radius and elevation ladders.
+2. Components by tier: primitives get a variant × state matrix, size ladder and icon row. Composed components get a typical example, additions and edge cases. Overlays get real triggers.
+3. Then rendered do/don't pairs for the DESIGN.md's rules, the DESIGN.md's named recipes rebuilt from components, and one example screen.
+
+Copy the helpers from `assets/showcase/` (`preview-states.css`, `state-matrix.tsx`, `color-pair.tsx`). Put sections in `src/showcase/<section>.tsx` (Vite) or `app/design-system/` (Next.js). Write copy in the brand's voice.
+
+### Known traps
+
+| Component           | Trap                                                                        | Fix                                                                         |

+
+### Coverage check
+
+```bash
+node <skill-dir>/scripts/showcase-coverage.mjs src/components/ui src   # Vite.
+node <skill-dir>/scripts/showcase-coverage.mjs components/ui app      # Next.js.
+```
+
+It lists every component file that no showcase file imports. Fix the list until it's empty. `add --all` installs both `toast` and `sonner` in Base UI projects; show `sonner` in Feedback next to `toast` so the list can reach zero.
+
+---
+
+## Step 7: Verify
+
+Start the dev server and check it in a browser:
+
+1. App typecheck passes (see Step 2).
+2. No console errors.
+3. Loads at `scrollY === 0`. Anything else means a component is stealing scroll on mount.
+4. No horizontal overflow at 375px and 1280px: `document.documentElement.scrollWidth <= innerWidth`.
+5. Screenshot the hero, Foundations, one form section and one dark band. Compare against the DESIGN.md: canvas color, CTA color, display font, radius, focus ring.
+6. Toggle dark mode once.
+
+---
+
+## Report Back
+
+- App path, dev URL, component count from disk.
+- The style picked (when no preset was given) and why.
+- What maps where: colors, fonts (and substitutes), radius, shadows, focus.
+- Contrast pairs under 4.5:1, including ones the DESIGN.md itself specifies.
+- Every component file you edited and why.
+- Every deliberate deviation from the DESIGN.md (derived dark mode, kept hover, substituted fonts).

+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the

+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must

+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or

+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and

+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.

+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions

+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.

+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,

+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# Slack Agent Skill
+
+A skill for building and deploying Slack agents on Vercel with **[eve](https://eve.dev/docs)** (Vercel's durable agent framework) and **[Vercel Connect](https://vercel.com/kb/guide/vercel-connect)** (managed Slack credentials — no bot tokens or signing secrets to handle).
+
+## Features
+
+- **Interactive Setup Wizard**: Step-by-step guidance from project creation to production deployment
+- **eve Framework**: Filesystem-first agents — `instructions.md`, `defineAgent`, tools in `agent/tools/`, a Slack channel in `agent/channels/` — with a durable, crash-safe runtime
+- **Vercel Connect Integration**: Managed Slack OAuth, token rotation, and webhook verification; the only Slack env var is `SLACK_CONNECTOR`
+- **Custom Implementation Planning**: Generates a tailored plan based on your agent's purpose before scaffolding
+- **Quality Standards**: Embedded testing and code quality requirements
+- **AI Integration**: Vercel AI Gateway (`anthropic/claude-sonnet-5` by default) — no AI API keys on Vercel
+- **Comprehensive Patterns**: eve tools, approval gating, thread context, and Slack delivery patterns
+- **Testing Framework**: Vitest configuration and sample tests

+git clone https://github.com/vercel-labs/slack-agent-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/slack-agent-skill
+
+## Usage
+
+### Starting a New Project
+
+Run the slash command:
+
+```
+/slack-agent
+
+Or with arguments:
+/slack-agent new       # Start fresh project (scaffolds with eve)
+/slack-agent configure # Configure existing project (auto-detects eve)
+/slack-agent deploy    # Deploy to production
+/slack-agent test      # Set up testing
+```
+
+The wizard will guide you through:
+1. Project setup with custom implementation plan generation and approval
+2. Slack connector creation with Vercel Connect
+3. Environment configuration
+4. Local agent testing with the eve dev TUI
+5. Production deployment to Vercel
+6. Test framework setup
+
+Note: Slack events route through Vercel Connect to your deployed project, so the Slack surface itself is tested after deploy — no ngrok tunnel needed. Everything else (tools, instructions, conversations) is tested locally in the `eve dev` TUI.
+
+### Development
+
+When working on an existing Slack agent project, the skill detects eve from `package.json`:
+- **`"eve"` in dependencies** — Uses eve patterns (tools in `agent/tools/`, Slack channel in `agent/channels/slack.ts`)
+
+The skill then provides:
+- Code quality standards (linting, testing, TypeScript)
+- eve-specific patterns (tools, skills, channels, hooks, approval gating)
+- AI integration guidance (Vercel AI Gateway)
+- Deployment best practices
+
+## Key Commands
+
+```bash
+# Setup
+npx eve@latest init my-agent          # Scaffold a new eve project (Node 24+)
+vercel connect create slack --triggers # Create the Slack connector
+vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+
+# Development
+eve dev               # Local dev server + terminal TUI
+
+# Quality
+pnpm lint             # Check linting
+pnpm lint --write     # Auto-fix lint issues
+pnpm typecheck        # TypeScript check
+pnpm test             # Run tests
+
+# Deployment
+eve deploy            # Production deployment (wraps vercel deploy --prod)
+```
+
+## Quality Standards
+
+The skill enforces these requirements:
+
+- **Unit tests** for all exported functions
+- **E2E tests** for user-facing changes
+- **Linting** must pass (Biome)
+- **TypeScript** must compile without errors
+- **All tests** must pass before completion

+# Slack Development Patterns
+
+This document covers Slack-specific patterns and best practices for building agents with eve and Vercel Connect. The Slack channel lets your agent respond to @mentions and DMs, reply in threads, show typing indicators, and render human-in-the-loop prompts as native Slack buttons — with credentials brokered by Vercel Connect instead of long-lived tokens.
+
+> **Note:** The Slack surface cannot be tested locally. Events route through Vercel Connect to your deployed project. Use the local TUI (`npx eve dev`) to test agent behavior, then deploy with `eve deploy` to test the Slack surface end to end.
+
+## Channel Setup
+
+The Slack channel is a single file in `agent/channels/`. The filename registers the channel — `slack.ts` registers the `slack` channel, served at `/eve/v1/slack`.
+
+```typescript
+// agent/channels/slack.ts
+import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
+import { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"),
+});
+```
+
+`connectSlackCredentials` returns `{ botToken, webhookVerifier }`:
+
+- **`botToken`** — resolved fresh through Vercel Connect on each Slack API request. Short-lived, auto-rotated, scoped by the connector's bot scopes. No `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` to store or leak.
+- **`webhookVerifier`** — confirms each forwarded event genuinely came from Connect (Connect verifies the event with Slack, then forwards it to your deployment). No `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`, no signature/timestamp checks in your code.
+
+The connector's trigger must point at eve's Slack route:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect create slack --triggers
+vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+```
+
+`--triggers` enables Slack Event Subscriptions — without it, `app_mention` and `message.im` events never arrive.
+
+---
+
+## Inbound Dispatch
+
+The channel exposes three dispatch hooks that decide whether an incoming Slack event starts (or continues) a session. Each hook returns:
+
+- `{ auth }` — dispatch to the agent
+- `null` — drop the event silently
+- `{ auth, context }` — dispatch, injecting extra background context for the model
+
+```typescript
+// agent/channels/slack.ts
+import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
+import { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"),
+
+  // app_mention events. Default behavior: derive workspace-scoped auth
+  // and post a "Thinking…" indicator.
+  async onAppMention(ctx, message) {
+    // Example: only respond in a specific channel
+    if (message.channelId !== "C0123456789") return null;
+    return { auth: { workspaceId: message.teamId } };
+  },
+
+  // message.im events (requires the im:history bot scope).
+  // Bot messages and message edits are filtered before this hook runs.
+  async onDirectMessage(ctx, message) {
+    return {
+      auth: { workspaceId: message.teamId },
+      context: "This is a private DM conversation. Be concise.",
+    };
+  },
+
+  // block_actions not consumed by human-in-the-loop prompts.
+  async onInteraction(action, ctx) {
+    return { auth: { workspaceId: action.teamId } };
+  },
+});
+```
+
+**Speaker attribution:** the triggering Slack user's ID is attached to the model message automatically, so in multi-user threads the model knows who said what. You don't need to prepend usernames yourself.
+
+---
+
+## Custom Event Handlers
+
+Beyond dispatch, the channel accepts an `events` map for reacting to runtime stream events. Each handler receives `(eventData, channel, ctx)`, where `channel` provides `channel.thread` (post, mention helpers) and `channel.slack` (API handle).
+
+```typescript
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"),
+  events: {
+    "message.completed"(eventData, channel, ctx) {
+      // Skip intermediate turns that ended in tool calls
+      if (eventData.finishReason === "tool-calls") return;
+      if (eventData.message) channel.thread.post(eventData.message);
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Useful stream events include `session.started`, `actions.requested`, `action.result`, `message.completed`, and `session.completed`. Rich tool outputs are a good fit here: give a tool a `toModelOutput` projection so the model sees a compact summary, while your event handler receives the full output on `action.result` and renders it in Slack.
+
+---
+
+## Thread Context
+
+By default the agent sees only the triggering message. Enable `threadContext` to load prior thread messages into the session:
+
+```typescript
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"),
+  threadContext: { since: "last-agent-reply" },
+});
+```
+
+`since` options:
+
+| Value | Behavior |
+|-------|----------|
+| `"thread-root"` | All prior messages in the thread (default when `threadContext` is enabled) |
+| `"last-agent-reply"` | Only messages since the agent last replied (incremental) |
+| `(message: SlackThreadMessage) => boolean` | Custom cutoff — includes the messages **after the last one the predicate matches** |
+
+**Caveats:**
+
+- Costs one `conversations.replies` API call per triggering reply.
+- Requires the matching history scope on the connector (`channels:history`, `groups:history`, or `im:history` depending on where the thread lives).
+- For custom filtering beyond a predicate, use `loadThreadContextMessages` directly.
+
+---
+
+## Typing Indicators & Delivery
+
+The channel manages the delivery lifecycle automatically — no refresh loops or manual acks:
+
+1. **"Thinking…"** posts as soon as an inbound event dispatches.
+2. **"Working…"** replaces it on `turn.started`.
+3. **Reasoning snippets** stream in on `reasoning.appended`, so users see what the agent is doing.
+4. **Action labels** show on `actions.requested` when the agent calls tools.
+
+If the model narrates before a tool call ("Let me check the weather…"), that narration takes precedence over the generic action label.
+
+**Batching:** reasoning deltas shorter than 4 characters batch on a five-second refresh, avoiding a Slack API request per token.
+
+---
+
+## Mentions
+
+Use Slack's mention syntax or the thread helper — a bare `@name` stays literal text:
+
+```typescript
+// In an event handler
+channel.thread.post(`<@${userId}> your report is ready.`);
+
+// Or with the helper
+channel.thread.post(`${channel.thread.mentionUser(userId)} your report is ready.`);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Human-in-the-Loop
+
+When the agent needs approval or input (e.g. a tool gated with `approval` from `eve/tools/approval`), the prompt renders as Slack buttons or select menus in the thread. The user's response resumes the parked session durably — the session survives redeploys and cold starts while waiting.
+
+**Sign-in challenges** (OAuth URLs, device codes from Connect-brokered connections) are sent **ephemerally** to the triggering user — never posted publicly. A public status message posts in-thread and updates when `authorization.completed` fires.
+
+HITL handler context deliberately offers a narrow surface:
+
+- `postEphemeral` — message visible only to the triggering user
+- `postDirectMessage` — DM the user (requires the `im:write` bot scope)
+- `state` — carry data across the park/resume boundary
+
+There is **no public `post` and no raw API access** in HITL handlers — this keeps approval flows from accidentally leaking prompts or secrets into channels.
+
+---
+
+## Raw Slack API Access
+
+For anything the channel doesn't cover (reactions, pins, custom messages):
+
+**Inside channel handlers** — use the context handle:
+
+```typescript
+events: {
+  async "session.completed"(eventData, channel, ctx) {
+    await ctx.slack.request("reactions.add", {
+      channel: eventData.channelId,
+      timestamp: eventData.messageTs,
+      name: "white_check_mark",
+    });
+  },
+},
+```
+
+**Outside handlers** (schedules, tools, hooks) — resolve a token and call the API directly:
+
+```typescript
+import { callSlackApi, resolveSlackBotToken } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+const botToken = await resolveSlackBotToken(credentials);
+await callSlackApi({
+  botToken,
+  operation: "chat.postMessage",
+  body: { channel: "C0123456789", text: "Scheduled report is ready." },
+});
+```
+
+**Form encoding:** `callSlackApi` form-encodes request bodies. Slack's JSON support is partial across its API surface, so form encoding is the safe default — don't hand-roll JSON `fetch` calls against Slack methods that don't accept them.
+
+---
+
+## Proactive Sessions
+
+Schedules (and other non-Slack triggers) can start a session that delivers into Slack via `receive`:
+
+```typescript
+// inside a schedule's run (see https://eve.dev/docs/schedules for schedule definitions)
+import slack from "../channels/slack";
+
+await receive(slack, {
+  message: "Generate the daily metrics report and summarize anything unusual.",
+  target: { channelId: "C0123456789" },
+  auth: { workspaceId },
+});
+```
+
+- Without a `threadTs`, the session gets a **temporary continuation token**; the agent's first post anchors a new thread, and follow-ups in that thread continue the session.
+- `initialMessage` (optionally a `Card`) lets you post an opener before the agent's output.
+- **`initialMessage` and `threadTs` are mutually exclusive** — either open a new thread with an opener, or join an existing thread, not both.
+
+---
+
+## Message Formatting (mrkdwn)
+
+Slack uses its own markdown variant called mrkdwn.
+
+### Text Formatting
+```
+*bold text*
+_italic text_
+~strikethrough~
+`inline code`
+```code block```
+> blockquote
+```
+
+### Links and Mentions
+```
+<https://example.com|Link Text>
+<@U12345678>              # User mention
+<#C12345678>              # Channel link
+<!here>                   # @here mention
+<!channel>                # @channel mention
+<!date^1234567890^{date_short}|fallback>  # Date formatting
+```
+
+### Lists
+```
+Slack doesn't support markdown lists, use:
+* Bullet point (use the actual bullet character)
+1. Numbered manually
+```
+
+---
+
+## Webhook Delivery & Verification
+
+Slack never calls your deployment directly. The flow is:
+
+1. Slack delivers events to Vercel Connect's intake URL.
+2. Connect verifies the event with Slack (signature, timestamp).
+3. Connect POSTs the event to your registered trigger path (`/eve/v1/slack`).
+4. The channel's `webhookVerifier` confirms each forwarded request genuinely came from Connect before it reaches your handlers.
+
+Consequences:
+
+- **No signature checks in your code.** Don't set `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` — omitting it entirely avoids mixing verification modes.
+- **HTTP-only forwarding** — no Socket Mode.
+- **Deployments only** — Connect forwards to preview/production deployments, never localhost.
+
+### Idempotent Handlers
+
+Connect provides **no delivery de-duplication** — the same Slack event can arrive more than once. Combined with eve's durability model (a step interrupted mid-execution re-runs on resume), side-effecting handlers must be idempotent. A simple pattern is tracking processed event IDs:
+
+```typescript
+async onAppMention(ctx, message) {
+  const seen = await markEventProcessed(message.eventId); // e.g. INSERT ... ON CONFLICT
+  if (!seen.isNew) return null; // duplicate delivery — drop
+  return { auth: { workspaceId: message.teamId } };
+},
+```
+
+### Content Type Reference
+
+| Event Type | Content-Type | Handled Automatically |
+|------------|--------------|----------------------|
+| Slash commands | `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` | Yes |
+| Events API | `application/json` | Yes |
+| Interactivity | `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` (JSON in the `payload` field) | Yes |
+| URL verification | `application/json` | Yes |
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Map Slack API error codes to user-friendly messages instead of surfacing raw errors:
+
+```typescript
+events: {
+  async "session.completed"(eventData, channel, ctx) {
+    try {
+      await ctx.slack.request("chat.postMessage", {
+        channel: targetChannelId,
+        text: summary,
+      });
+    } catch (error) {
+      console.error("Slack post failed:", error);
+      let userMessage = "Something went wrong. Please try again.";
+      if (error instanceof Error) {
+        if (error.message.includes("channel_not_found")) {
+          userMessage = "I don't have access to that channel.";
+        } else if (error.message.includes("not_in_channel")) {
+          userMessage = "Please invite me to the channel first.";
+        }
+      }
+      channel.thread.post(userMessage);
+    }
+  },
+},
+```
+
+Common Slack error codes:
+
+| Code | Meaning | Fix |
+|------|---------|-----|
+| `channel_not_found` | Bot can't see the channel | Check the channel ID; private channels need an invite |
+| `not_in_channel` | Bot isn't a member | Invite the bot to the channel |
+| `rate_limited` | Too many API calls | Back off and retry after the `Retry-After` interval |
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+- **No reply to @mentions** — invite the bot to the channel and confirm the deployment finished. Remember: the Slack surface only works against a deployment, not `eve dev`.
+- **Stuck on "Working…"** — inspect logs with `npx eve dev --logs all`, or `/loglevel all` in the TUI.
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices Summary
+
+1. **Handle errors gracefully** with user-friendly messages
+2. **Use ephemeral messages** for sensitive or temporary information (sign-in challenges already are)
+3. **Log errors** with context for debugging
+4. **Use threads** to keep channels clean — the channel replies in-thread by default
+5. **Respect rate limits** — back off on `rate_limited` and let the channel's built-in batching handle streaming updates
+6. **Keep handlers idempotent** — Connect does not de-duplicate deliveries, and interrupted steps re-run
+7. **Request minimum bot scopes** on the connector; add `im:history` for DMs and `im:write` for HITL direct messages only if you use them
+8. **Never store Slack tokens** — `SLACK_CONNECTOR` is the only Slack env var; Connect issues short-lived tokens at runtime
+9. **Return `null` from dispatch hooks** to drop unwanted events instead of dispatching and ignoring
+10. **Use `toModelOutput`** to keep bulky tool outputs out of model context while still rendering them richly in Slack

+```
+
+Template files: `./templates/eve/`
+
+---
+
+## Unit Testing Tools
+
+eve tools are default exports from `defineTool` with an `execute(input, ctx)` signature. Test them by importing the tool and calling `execute` directly with a mock `ctx`.
+
+### Mocking the Tool Context
+
+`ctx` only needs the fields your tool actually uses. Keep the mock minimal — `session`, `callId`, and `abortSignal` cover most tools:
+
+```typescript
+// agent/__tests__/helpers/mock-context.ts
+import { vi } from 'vitest';
+
+export function createMockToolContext(overrides = {}) {
+  return {
+    session: {
+      metadata: {},
+      turn: 1,
+      auth: {},
+    },
+    callId: 'call_test_123',
+    abortSignal: new AbortController().signal,
+    ...overrides,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+Add other `ctx` fields (e.g. `toolName`, `getSandbox`, `getSkill`) via `overrides` only when a tool depends on them.
+
+### Testing a Tool Definition
+
+```typescript
+// agent/tools/get_weather.test.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
+import getWeather from './get_weather';
+import { createMockToolContext } from '../__tests__/helpers/mock-context';
+
+describe('get_weather', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    vi.clearAllMocks();
+  });
+
+  it('should return weather for a city', async () => {
+    const ctx = createMockToolContext();
+
+    const result = await getWeather.execute({ city: 'Brooklyn' }, ctx);
+
+    expect(result.city).toBe('Brooklyn');
+    expect(result.temperatureF).toBeTypeOf('number');
+  });
+
+  it('should reject invalid input via the schema', () => {
+    // Zod inputSchema validation — no execute call needed
+    const parsed = getWeather.inputSchema.safeParse({ city: '' });
+
+    expect(parsed.success).toBe(false);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Testing Error Paths
+
+Every tool test suite should cover the failure modes: upstream API errors, empty results, and invalid input. Return structured errors from `execute` rather than throwing, so the model can recover.
+
+```typescript
+// agent/tools/get_channel_messages.test.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
+import { callSlackApi } from 'eve/channels/slack';
+import getChannelMessages from './get_channel_messages';
+import { createMockToolContext } from '../__tests__/helpers/mock-context';
+
+// Mock at the module boundary — never reach into eve internals
+vi.mock('eve/channels/slack', () => ({
+  callSlackApi: vi.fn(),
+  resolveSlackBotToken: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue('xoxb-test-token'),
+}));
+
+describe('get_channel_messages', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    vi.clearAllMocks();
+  });
+
+  it('should fetch messages from channel', async () => {
+    vi.mocked(callSlackApi).mockResolvedValue({
+      ok: true,
+      messages: [
+        { text: 'Hello', user: 'U123', ts: '123.001' },
+        { text: 'World', user: 'U456', ts: '123.002' },
+      ],
+      has_more: false,
+    });
+
+    const result = await getChannelMessages.execute(
+      { channel_id: 'C12345678', limit: 10 },
+      createMockToolContext()
+    );
+
+    expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+    expect(result.messages).toHaveLength(2);
+    expect(result.messages[0].text).toBe('Hello');
+  });
+
+  it('should handle empty channel', async () => {
+    vi.mocked(callSlackApi).mockResolvedValue({
+      ok: true,
+      messages: [],
+      has_more: false,
+    });
+
+    const result = await getChannelMessages.execute(
+      { channel_id: 'C_EMPTY', limit: 10 },
+      createMockToolContext()
+    );
+
+    expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+    expect(result.messages).toHaveLength(0);
+  });
+
+  it('should handle API errors gracefully', async () => {
+    vi.mocked(callSlackApi).mockRejectedValue(
+      new Error('channel_not_found')
+    );
+
+    const result = await getChannelMessages.execute(
+      { channel_id: 'C_INVALID', limit: 10 },
+      createMockToolContext()
+    );
+
+    expect(result.success).toBe(false);
+    expect(result.error).toContain('channel_not_found');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Testing Tools That Use Vercel Connect Tokens
+
+Tools that call third-party APIs get short-lived tokens via Vercel Connect. Mock `@vercel/connect` at the module boundary so no real token requests happen in tests:
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
+import { getToken } from '@vercel/connect';
+import createIssue from './create_issue';
+import { createMockToolContext } from '../__tests__/helpers/mock-context';
+
+vi.mock('@vercel/connect', () => ({
+  getToken: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue('test-connect-token'),
+}));
+
+describe('create_issue', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    vi.clearAllMocks();
+  });
+

+    expect(result.error).toContain('unauthorized');
+  });
+});
+```

+
+## Testing the Slack Channel
+
+The channel adapter (`agent/channels/slack.ts`) is a config object produced by `slackChannel(...)`. Mock `eve/channels/slack` and `@vercel/connect/eve` so the test never resolves real credentials, then assert on the config and exercise any custom event handlers.
+
+### Channel Configuration
+
+```typescript
+// agent/channels/slack.test.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
+import { connectSlackCredentials } from '@vercel/connect/eve';
+
+vi.mock('eve/channels/slack', () => ({
+  slackChannel: vi.fn((config) => config),
+}));
+
+vi.mock('@vercel/connect/eve', () => ({
+  connectSlackCredentials: vi.fn(() => ({
+    botToken: 'xoxb-test-token',
+    webhookVerifier: vi.fn(),
+  })),
+}));
+
+describe('slack channel', () => {
+  it('should resolve credentials from SLACK_CONNECTOR', async () => {
+    const channel = (await import('./slack')).default;
+
+    expect(connectSlackCredentials).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
+      process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR
+    );
+    expect(channel.credentials).toBeDefined();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Custom Event Handlers
+
+Custom event handlers receive `(eventData, channel, ctx)` where `channel.thread` posts to the triggering Slack thread and `channel.slack.request` calls the raw Slack API. Mock that handle:
+
+```typescript
+// agent/__tests__/helpers/mock-channel.ts
+import { vi } from 'vitest';
+
+export function createMockChannelHandle(overrides = {}) {
+  return {
+    thread: {
+      post: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(undefined),
+      mentionUser: vi.fn((userId: string) => `<@${userId}>`),
+    },
+    slack: {
+      request: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ ok: true }),
+    },
+    ...overrides,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+```typescript
+// agent/channels/slack.test.ts (continued)
+import { createMockChannelHandle } from '../__tests__/helpers/mock-channel';
+
+describe('message.completed handler', () => {
+  it('should post the completed message to the thread', async () => {
+    const channel = (await import('./slack')).default;
+    const handle = createMockChannelHandle();
+
+    channel.events['message.completed'](
+      { finishReason: 'stop', message: 'All done!' },
+      handle,
+      {}
+    );
+
+    expect(handle.thread.post).toHaveBeenCalledWith('All done!');
+  });
+
+  it('should skip intermediate tool-call turns', async () => {
+    const channel = (await import('./slack')).default;
+    const handle = createMockChannelHandle();
+
+    channel.events['message.completed'](
+      { finishReason: 'tool-calls', message: 'thinking...' },
+      handle,
+      {}
+    );
+
+    expect(handle.thread.post).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Agent Configuration
+
+`agent/agent.ts` is a small config file, but a smoke test catches accidental model or option regressions:
+
+```typescript
+// agent/agent.test.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
+
+vi.mock('eve', () => ({
+  defineAgent: vi.fn((config) => config),
+}));
+
+describe('agent config', () => {
+  it('should use the default gateway model', async () => {
+    const agent = (await import('./agent')).default;
+
+    expect(agent.model).toBe('anthropic/claude-sonnet-5');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## E2E Testing Patterns
+
+Unit tests cover tools and handlers in isolation. For end-to-end verification, use eve's HTTP API against a running dev server (`npx eve dev --no-ui`) — no mocks:
+
+```bash
+# Create a session and assert on the reply
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:2000/eve/v1/session \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"message":"What is the weather in Brooklyn?"}'
+
+# Stream events (NDJSON): session.started → actions.requested →
+# action.result → message.completed → session.completed
+curl http://127.0.0.1:2000/eve/v1/session/<sessionId>/stream
+```
+
+Note: the Slack surface itself cannot be exercised locally — Slack events route through Vercel Connect to the deployed project. Test the Slack path against a preview or production deployment (`eve dev https://your-app.vercel.app` for an interactive smoke test); everything else works locally.
+
+### Multi-Turn Tool Flow (unit level)
+
+```typescript
+describe('E2E: tool flow', () => {
+  it('should handle sequential tool calls in a session', async () => {
+    const ctx = createMockToolContext({
+      session: { metadata: {}, turn: 1, auth: {} },
+    });
+
+    const first = await getWeather.execute({ city: 'Brooklyn' }, ctx);
+    expect(first.city).toBe('Brooklyn');
+
+    const followUpCtx = createMockToolContext({
+      session: { metadata: {}, turn: 2, auth: {} },
+    });
+
+    const second = await getWeather.execute({ city: 'Queens' }, followUpCtx);
+    expect(second.city).toBe('Queens');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Mock Helpers
+
+Keep all shared mocks in `agent/__tests__/helpers/` and mock at eve's module boundaries (`eve`, `eve/tools`, `eve/channels/slack`, `@vercel/connect`, `@vercel/connect/eve`) — never reach into framework internals.
+
+```typescript
+// agent/__tests__/setup.ts (excerpt — see templates/eve/test-setup.ts)
+import { vi } from 'vitest';
+
+// Only Slack env var needed — Vercel Connect brokers credentials
+vi.stubEnv('SLACK_CONNECTOR', 'slack/test-agent');
+vi.stubEnv('AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY', 'test-ai-gateway-key');
+
+vi.mock('eve/tools', () => ({
+  defineTool: vi.fn((config) => config),
+}));
+
+vi.mock('eve/channels/slack', () => ({
+  slackChannel: vi.fn((config) => config),
+  callSlackApi: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ ok: true }),
+  resolveSlackBotToken: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue('xoxb-test-token'),
+}));
+
+vi.mock('@vercel/connect', () => ({
+  getToken: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue('test-connect-token'),
+}));
+
+vi.mock('@vercel/connect/eve', () => ({
+  connectSlackCredentials: vi.fn(() => ({
+    botToken: 'xoxb-test-token',
+    webhookVerifier: vi.fn(),
+  })),
+  connect: vi.fn((connector) => ({ connector })),
+}));
+```
+
+Mocking `defineTool` as an identity function means importing a tool file in a test returns its config object directly — `description`, `inputSchema`, and `execute` are all inspectable.
+

+# Agent Archetypes Reference
+
+This document provides common patterns and archetypes for Slack agents built with eve. Use this as a reference when generating custom implementation plans based on user requirements.
+
+## Implementation Plan Template
+
+When generating a plan, use this structure:
+
+```markdown
+## Implementation Plan: [Agent Name]
+
+### Overview
+[1-2 sentence description of what this agent does]
+
+### Core Features
+1. **[Feature 1]** - [Description]
+2. **[Feature 2]** - [Description]
+3. **[Feature 3]** - [Description]
+
+### Interactions (@mentions and DMs)
+eve's Slack channel is mention/DM-driven — there are no slash commands.
+Users talk to the agent in natural language; the model routes to tools.
+
+| Phrasing | What it does | Example |
+|----------|--------------|---------|
+| `@agent [request]` | What happens | `@agent do the thing for X` |
+
+### Dispatch Hooks & Events
+Configured on the Slack channel in `agent/channels/slack.ts`:
+
+- [ ] `onAppMention(ctx, message)` - [What happens when @mentioned; default derives workspace-scoped auth and posts "Thinking…"]
+- [ ] `onDirectMessage(ctx, message)` - [DM handling; needs `im:history` scope]
+- [ ] `onInteraction(action, ctx)` - [`block_actions` not consumed by HITL]
+- [ ] `threadContext` - [`"thread-root"`, `"last-agent-reply"`, or a predicate, if thread history matters]
+- [ ] Custom `events` handlers (e.g. `"message.completed"`) - [If delivery needs customizing]
+
+### AI Tools (if using AI)
+One file per tool in `agent/tools/` — the snake_case filename is the tool name.
+
+Tools **fetch data and perform actions**. Never plan a tool that wraps an LLM call (summarize, parse, classify, draft) — the agent is the language model and does that work itself, guided by `instructions.md` or a skill.
+
+| Tool | Purpose | Parameters |
+|------|---------|------------|
+| `tool_name` | What it does | `param1`, `param2` |
+
+### Connections (if external APIs)
+For third-party services (Linear, GitHub, Notion, ...), use Vercel Connect:
+- MCP servers: `defineMcpClientConnection` with `auth: connect("provider/my-agent")` from `@vercel/connect/eve`
+- Authored tools: `const auth = connect("provider/my-agent")` then `await ctx.getToken(auth)` inside `execute`
+
+| Connection | Provider | Scope |
+|------------|----------|-------|
+| `provider` | What it accesses | `user` (per-user consent) or `app` |
+
+### Schedules (if applicable)
+Proactive/cron behavior uses eve schedules, which start sessions with
+`receive(slack, { message, target: { channelId }, auth })`.
+
+| Schedule | Action |
+|----------|--------|
+| `0 9 * * 1-5` | Description |
+
+### Durability & State
+- [ ] Stateless (simple request/response)
+- [ ] Durable sessions (default) - eve persists every session via the Workflow SDK; multi-turn context, tool results, and parked HITL/auth prompts survive restarts with no extra config. No Redis required.
+- [ ] Database (persistent storage, beyond session lifetime)
+  - Upstash Redis for caching or cross-session lookups
+  - Vercel Blob for file/document storage
+  - AWS Aurora via Vercel Marketplace for relational data
+  - NOTE: Do NOT recommend Vercel KV (deprecated)
+
+### Delivery
+eve's Slack channel handles rendering — no custom Block Kit:
+- [ ] Typing lifecycle - "Thinking…" on inbound, "Working…" on `turn.started`, reasoning snippets and action labels as the turn progresses (automatic)
+- [ ] mrkdwn text replies - Default message delivery in-thread
+- [ ] HITL buttons - Approval-gated tools (`approval` from `eve/tools/approval`) render as Slack buttons/selects; responses resume the parked session
+- [ ] `toModelOutput` - Show the model a compact projection while channels receive the full tool output for rich rendering
+
+### Files to Create/Modify
+- `agent/instructions.md` - Always-on system prompt
+- `agent/agent.ts` - Runtime config (`defineAgent`)
+- `agent/channels/slack.ts` - Slack channel + dispatch hooks
+- `agent/tools/[tool_name].ts` - AI tool definitions (`defineTool`)
+- `agent/skills/[skill].md` - Load-on-demand instructions (if applicable)
+- `agent/connections/[provider].ts` - Vercel Connect connections (if applicable)
+- `agent/hooks/` - Runtime stream event subscribers (if applicable)
+- Schedule definitions - Proactive/cron sessions (if applicable)
+```

+## Archetype 6: Notification / Alerting Bot
+
+**Use case:** Monitors systems and sends alerts to Slack channels.
+
+### Typical Features
+- Alert ingestion from external systems
+- Alert routing to appropriate channels
+- Alert acknowledgment and silencing
+- Escalation rules
+
+### Example Plan
+
+```markdown
+## Implementation Plan: Alert Bot
+
+### Overview
+A bot that receives alerts from monitoring systems and routes them to appropriate channels.
+
+### Core Features
+1. **Alert Ingestion** - Monitoring systems start sessions via eve's HTTP API (`POST /eve/v1/session`) or a schedule polls the monitoring API
+2. **Smart Routing** - Route alerts to appropriate channels based on rules
+3. **Acknowledgment** - Team members ack alerts via buttons
+4. **Escalation** - Escalate unacknowledged alerts
+
+### Interactions (@mentions and DMs)
+| Phrasing | What it does | Example |
+|----------|--------------|---------|
+| Ack button on the alert | Acknowledge an alert | (HITL button click) |
+| `@agent silence [service]` | Silence alerts for a service | `@agent silence api-server for 1h` |
+| `@agent active alerts` | View active alerts | `@agent what's firing right now?` |
+| `@agent who's on call?` | Show who's on call | `@agent who's on call tonight?` |
+
+### Dispatch Hooks & Events
+- [x] `onAppMention` - Status queries, silencing
+- [x] `onInteraction` - Ack/silence `block_actions` not consumed by HITL
+
+### AI Tools
+| Tool | Purpose | Parameters |
+|------|---------|------------|
+| `route_alert` | Pick target channel from rules | `alert` |
+| `ack_alert` | Mark an alert acknowledged | `alertId`, `userId` |
+| `silence_alerts` | Silence a service | `service`, `duration` |
+| `list_active_alerts` | Show unresolved alerts | — |
+| `get_on_call` | Show on-call rotation | — |
+
+### Schedules
+| Schedule | Action |
+|----------|--------|
+| `*/5 * * * *` | Check for unacked alerts; escalate via `receive(slack, { message, target: { channelId }, auth })` |
+
+### Durability & State
+- [x] Durable sessions - Proactive alert sessions anchor a thread on first post; escalation follow-ups continue it
+- [x] Database (persistent storage) - Alert state, ack status, routing rules
+
+### Delivery
+- [x] HITL buttons - Ack/silence rendered as buttons on the alert post
+- [x] mrkdwn alert formatting with severity and links
+- [x] Proactive posts - Schedules use `receive(slack, ...)`; outside handlers, `callSlackApi({ botToken, operation, body })` with `resolveSlackBotToken` for raw API needs
+
+### Files to Create/Modify
+- `agent/instructions.md` - Routing rules, severity conventions
+- `agent/agent.ts`
+- `agent/channels/slack.ts` - Mention/interaction hooks
+- `agent/tools/route_alert.ts`
+- `agent/tools/ack_alert.ts`
+- `agent/tools/silence_alerts.ts`
+- `agent/tools/list_active_alerts.ts`
+- `agent/tools/get_on_call.ts`
+- `lib/alerts/router.ts`
+- `lib/alerts/escalation.ts`
+- Schedule definition for the 5-minute escalation check
+```
+

+
+## Pattern Recognition Guide
+
+Use these signals to determine which archetype(s) apply:
+
+| User says... | Likely Archetype |
+|-------------|------------------|
+| "standup", "daily", "check-in", "status update" | Standup/Reminder |
+| "support", "help desk", "tickets", "customer" | Support/Help Desk |
+| "weather", "lookup", "API", "fetch", "data" | Information/Lookup |
+| "chat", "assistant", "conversation", "AI" | Conversational AI |
+| "deploy", "CI/CD", "automate", "workflow" | Automation |
+| "alert", "monitor", "notify", "on-call" | Notification/Alerting |
+
+### Hybrid Agents
+
+Many real-world agents combine multiple archetypes. For example:
+- **Support + Conversational** - AI-powered support with multi-turn dialogue
+- **Automation + Alerting** - Deploy bot that also sends deployment notifications
+- **Information + Conversational** - Weather bot with natural language queries
+
+When users describe hybrid needs, combine relevant features from multiple archetypes.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Complexity Guide
+
+When generating plans, indicate complexity to set expectations:
+
+| Complexity | Characteristics | Example |
+|------------|-----------------|---------|
+| **Simple** | 1-3 tools, no database, no schedules | Weather lookup |
+| **Medium** | Multiple tools, Vercel Connect connection, HITL approvals | Ticket system |
+| **Complex** | Multi-turn workflows, database, schedules, proactive sessions | Full standup bot |
+
+Include a complexity indicator in your generated plans to help users understand scope.

+# Environment Variables Reference
+
+Complete reference for all environment variables used in eve Slack agent projects.
+
+With eve + Vercel Connect, the variable surface is deliberately small: there is **no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` and no `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`**. Slack credentials are brokered at runtime by Vercel Connect — your code requests short-lived, scoped tokens instead of storing long-lived secrets, and the channel's `webhookVerifier` confirms forwarded events came from Connect instead of checking Slack's signing secret.
+
+## Required Variables
+
+### SLACK_CONNECTOR
+
+**Description:** The UID of your Vercel Connect Slack connector. This is the only Slack-related environment variable. `connectSlackCredentials` uses it to resolve short-lived bot tokens at runtime and to verify forwarded Slack events.
+
+**Source:**
+1. Create the connector: `vercel connect create slack --triggers`
+2. The UID is shown in the output (also visible via `vercel connect list` or the dashboard Connect page)
+
+**Format:** `slack/<connector-name>` (e.g., `slack/my-agent`) or a connector ID like `scl_abc123`
+
+**Usage:**
+```typescript
+// agent/channels/slack.ts
+import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
+import { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(
+    process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"
+  ),
+});
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Not a secret — it identifies the connector; access is governed by the connector-project link and the deployment's OIDC token
+- The connector must be **attached to your project and environment** (`vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack`)
+- If you deployed via the eve Slack starter's Deploy button, the connector was provisioned and `SLACK_CONNECTOR` was set automatically
+- Use a separate connector per environment (see Security Best Practices)
+
+---
+
+### VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN (local development only)
+
+**Description:** Short-lived OIDC token that authenticates your local process to Vercel services — the AI Gateway and Vercel Connect both accept it. On Vercel deployments this token is injected automatically; you never set it there.
+
+**Source:**
+```bash
+vercel link       # once, to link the directory to your Vercel project
+vercel env pull   # writes VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN into .env.local
+```
+
+**Format:** JWT string
+
+**Notes:**
+- Expires after **~12 hours** — re-run `vercel env pull` when local AI or Connect calls start failing with auth errors
+- Never set this manually or copy it between machines; always pull a fresh one
+
+---
+
+## AI Integration
+
+You have two options for AI/LLM credentials. eve routes string model IDs (e.g., `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`) through the Vercel AI Gateway by default.
+
+### Option 1: Vercel AI Gateway with project OIDC (recommended)
+
+When deployed on Vercel, the AI Gateway authenticates with the project's OIDC token automatically. **No API keys needed.**
+
+**For local development:** link the project and pull the OIDC token:
+
+```bash
+vercel link
+vercel env pull   # fetches VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN into .env.local (~12h expiry)
+```
+
+```typescript
+// agent/agent.ts
+import { defineAgent } from "eve";
+
+export default defineAgent({
+  model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5", // routes through AI Gateway — no API key
+});
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Zero API-key management
+- Access to multiple providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) through one interface
+- Built-in rate limiting and observability
+- Works automatically on Vercel deployments
+
+---
+
+### Option 2: AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY
+
+**Description:** API key for the Vercel AI Gateway. Use this instead of OIDC when running outside Vercel (external CI, other hosts) or if you prefer a long-lived credential locally.
+
+**Source:** Vercel dashboard > AI Gateway > API Keys
+
+**Usage:** Same code as Option 1 — the gateway picks up `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` from the environment. String model IDs in `defineAgent` keep working unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## Route Auth Secrets
+
+eve exposes a stable HTTP API (`/eve/v1/...`) on every deployment. The scaffolded `placeholderAuth()` fails closed in production — you must replace it with a real auth strategy, and each strategy has its own secret material.
+
+### ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD
+
+**Description:** Password for the `httpBasic()` route-auth strategy — the simplest way to protect eve's HTTP API.
+
+**Source:** Generate a strong random value yourself, e.g.:
+```bash
+openssl rand -base64 32
+```
+
+**Security:**
+- Never commit to version control
+- Use a different password per environment
+- Rotate if compromised
+
+### JWT / OIDC key material
+
+**Description:** If you protect eve's HTTP API with `jwtHmac()`, `jwtEcdsa()`, `oidc()`, or a custom `AuthFn` instead of basic auth, store the corresponding secret (HMAC shared secret, ECDSA public key, or OIDC issuer configuration) as environment variables. `vercelOidc()` needs no extra secret — it verifies Vercel-issued OIDC tokens.
+
+**Security:** Same rules as any secret — never commit, per-environment values, rotate on exposure. Note that the Slack channel is not affected by route auth choice: forwarded Slack events are verified via Vercel OIDC by Connect's webhook verifier.
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Variables
+
+### VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET
+
+**Description:** Bypass secret for Vercel Deployment Protection. Needed when your **preview deployments are protected** and something outside the browser (e.g., `eve dev https://<preview-url>` from your machine, or external smoke tests) must reach the deployment.
+
+**Source:** Vercel dashboard > Project Settings > Deployment Protection > Protection Bypass for Automation
+
+**Usage:** Set it locally (e.g., in `.env.local`) when driving a protected preview deployment. Not needed for production if production is publicly reachable.
+
+---
+
+## Optional Variables
+
+### CRON_SECRET
+
+**Description:** Shared secret to authenticate Vercel Cron invocations of your own scheduled endpoints, so random visitors can't trigger cron routes. (eve's built-in schedules don't need this; it applies to any custom cron routes you add.)
+
+**Source:** Generate a strong random value and set it in Vercel; Vercel sends it as `Authorization: Bearer <CRON_SECRET>` on cron requests.
+
+---
+
+### NODE_ENV
+
+**Description:** Node.js environment indicator.
+
+**Values:**
+- `development` - Local development
+- `production` - Production deployment
+- `test` - Test environment
+
+**Default:** `development` locally, `production` on Vercel
+
+---
+
+### LOG_LEVEL
+
+**Description:** Controls logging verbosity.
+
+**Values:**
+- `debug` - All logs including debug info
+- `info` - Standard operational logs
+- `warn` - Warnings and errors only
+- `error` - Errors only
+
+**Default:** `info`
+
+---
+
+## Local Development Setup
+
+Create a `.env.local` file in your project root. Prefer `vercel env pull`, which writes it for you (including `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`), then add anything project-specific.
+
+> **Note:** Slack events can't be received locally — Connect forwards them to deployments only. Locally you develop against the eve TUI (`npx eve dev`); Slack is tested on preview/production deployments.
+
+### Option 1: AI Gateway with project OIDC (default)
+
+```env
+# Slack via Vercel Connect (no bot token or signing secret needed)
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+
+# Pulled by `vercel env pull` — expires after ~12 hours, re-pull when it does
+VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN=eyJ...
+
+# Route auth for eve's HTTP API (if using httpBasic())
+ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD=your-strong-password
+
+# Optional
+NODE_ENV=development
+LOG_LEVEL=debug
+
+# No AI keys needed - the AI Gateway authenticates via the OIDC token!
+```
+
+### Option 2: AI Gateway with an API key
+
+```env
+# Slack via Vercel Connect
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+
+# AI Gateway key (instead of OIDC)
+AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY=your-gateway-key
+
+# Route auth for eve's HTTP API
+ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD=your-strong-password
+
+# Optional
+NODE_ENV=development
+LOG_LEVEL=debug
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+### 1. Never Commit Secrets
+
+Ensure `.gitignore` includes:
+```
+.env
+.env.local
+.env.*.local
+```
+
+### 2. Use Different Credentials Per Environment
+
+| Environment | Connector | Other secrets |
+|-------------|-----------|---------------|
+| Development | `slack/my-agent-dev` | Dev route-auth password |
+| Preview | `slack/my-agent-preview` | Preview route-auth password |
+| Production | `slack/my-agent` | Prod route-auth password |
+
+**One connector per environment.** Separate connectors give you separate grants, scopes, and audit trails, and prevent cross-environment token replay. Attach each with the matching `--environment` flag.
+
+### 3. Never Persist Tokens
+
+Connect exists so you don't store provider tokens. Request them at runtime — the SDK caches in-process and auto-refreshes near expiry, so per-request calls are fine. Never write a Connect-issued token to a database, log, env var, or file.
+
+### 4. Request Minimum Scopes
+
+Only grant the connector the bot scopes your agent needs, and request minimum scopes per token. Review scopes on the connector's Connect page.
+
+### 5. Rotate Compromised Credentials
+
+Connect-issued Slack tokens are short-lived, so exposure windows are small — but if other secrets leak:
+
+**Route-auth password / JWT secrets:** generate a new value, update the Vercel env var, redeploy.
+
+**Automation bypass secret:** regenerate it under Project Settings > Deployment Protection.
+
+### 6. Monitor Usage
+
+- Every Connect authorization and token request is recorded — review the audit log on the connector's page
+- Monitor Vercel function logs for errors
+- Set up alerts for anomalies
+
+## Vercel Environment Configuration
+
+### Setting Variables
+
+**Via Dashboard:**
+1. Project Settings > Environment Variables
+2. Add variable name and value
+3. Select environments (Production/Preview/Development)
+4. Save and redeploy
+
+**Via CLI:**
+```bash
+vercel env add VARIABLE_NAME production
+```
+
+### Environment Scopes
+
+| Scope | When Used |
+|-------|-----------|
+| Production | `vercel --prod` deployments |
+| Preview | Pull request deployments |
+| Development | `vercel env pull` / local development |
+
+### Sensitive vs Non-Sensitive
+
+Mark variables as **Sensitive** for:
+- API keys (`AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`)
+- Route-auth passwords and JWT secrets
+- `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET`, `CRON_SECRET`
+
+Sensitive variables:
+- Are encrypted at rest
+- Don't appear in logs
+- Can't be read via API
+
+`SLACK_CONNECTOR` is an identifier, not a secret — it doesn't need the sensitive flag.
+
+## Accessing Variables
+
+### In Server Code
+
+eve tools run in your app runtime with full `process.env` access:
+
+```typescript
+// Direct access
+const connector = process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR;
+
+// With validation
+function getRequiredEnv(name: string): string {
+  const value = process.env[name];
+  if (!value) {
+    throw new Error(`Missing required environment variable: ${name}`);
+  }
+  return value;
+}
+
+const connector = getRequiredEnv('SLACK_CONNECTOR');
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Variable Not Found
+
+**Symptoms:** `undefined` value, missing env error
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check variable name spelling (case-sensitive)
+2. Verify `.env.local` is in project root
+3. Restart the dev server after changes
+4. Redeploy after adding to Vercel
+
+### Connect / Gateway Auth Errors Locally
+
+**Symptoms:** authentication errors from the AI Gateway or `@vercel/connect` during local development that previously worked
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. The local `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN` expires after ~12 hours — re-run `vercel env pull`
+2. Verify the directory is linked to the right project (`vercel link`)
+3. If running outside Vercel entirely (external CI), use `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` for the gateway and pass a Vercel access token to the Connect SDK
+
+### Connector Not Working
+
+**Symptoms:** token requests fail in a deployment; Slack events never arrive
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Confirm the connector is **attached to this project and environment**: `vercel connect list`, or re-attach with `vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack`
+2. Connect verifies the deployment's project/environment against connector links — a connector attached only to production won't issue tokens to preview
+3. For missing events, confirm the connector was created with `--triggers` (without it, `app_mention` / `message.im` never arrive) and that the trigger path is `/eve/v1/slack`
+4. Remember trigger forwarding goes to deployments only — Slack can't be tested against localhost

+# Slack Setup Guide (Vercel Connect)
+
+Complete guide for connecting your eve agent to Slack using Vercel Connect.
+
+## How Slack Setup Works with Vercel Connect
+
+You do **not** create a Slack app at api.slack.com, paste a manifest, or copy bot tokens and signing secrets. Vercel Connect replaces that entire flow.
+
+**Vercel Connect** is a credential broker for agents and background services. Instead of storing long-lived provider secrets (bot tokens, API keys) in env vars, your code requests **short-lived, scoped tokens at runtime**. Every authorization and token request is recorded for auditing. For Slack, Connect is a **Vercel Managed Connector**: Vercel registers the Slack OAuth client, so you never handle client secrets at all.
+
+What this means in practice:
+
+- **No `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`**. The eve Slack channel fetches a fresh short-lived token from Connect on each Slack API request.
+- **No `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`**. Slack delivers events to Connect's intake URL; Connect verifies them with Slack, then forwards them to your deployment. The channel's `webhookVerifier` confirms each forwarded event came from Connect — no Slack signature checks in your code.
+- **One env var**: `SLACK_CONNECTOR`, set to your connector's UID (e.g. `slack/my-agent`).
+
+Core concepts:
+
+| Concept | Meaning |
+|---------|---------|
+| **Connector** | A team-reusable registered connection to a provider, identified by UID like `slack/my-agent` (or ID like `scl_abc123`) |
+| **Installation** | A provider-side install for a tenant — for Slack, a workspace the connector is installed into |
+| **Connector-project link** | Binds a connector to a project and its enabled environments |
+| **Token request** | A runtime request for a short-lived scoped token |
+
+> **Beta note:** Vercel Connect is in beta (available on all plans); behavior may change before GA.
+
+> **CLI reference:** commands and flags shown here may evolve — see the [`vercel connect` CLI docs](https://vercel.com/docs/cli/connect) for the latest reference.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Slack workspace where you have permission to install apps
+- The latest Vercel CLI: `npm install -g vercel@latest`
+- Your project linked to Vercel (`vercel link`)
+
+## Step 1: Create the Slack Connector
+
+Create the connector from the CLI (or from the Connect page in the Vercel dashboard):
+
+```bash
+vercel connect create slack --name my-agent --triggers
+```
+
+- `--name` sets the connector UID suffix — the full UID becomes `slack/my-agent`.
+- `--triggers` enables Slack Event Subscriptions through Connect. **Without it, events like `app_mention` and `message.im` never arrive.**
+
+The CLI sets up the connection automatically and opens your browser for the steps that need manual input: installing the connector into your Slack workspace and selecting its bot scopes and trigger events. (Branding is optional — `--icon`, `--background-color`, `--accent-color` on `create`, or `vercel connect update` later.)
+
+### Recommended Bot Scopes
+
+| Scope | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `chat:write` | Send messages as the bot |
+| `channels:read` | View basic channel info |
+| `channels:history` | Read messages in public channels (thread context) |
+| `groups:history` | Read messages in private channels (thread context, if invited) |
+| `im:history` | Read direct messages — required for the DM handler (`onDirectMessage`) |
+| `mpim:history` | Read group DM history (thread context) |
+| `reactions:write` | Add emoji reactions |
+| `users:read` | Look up user display names |
+
+Notes:
+
+- `im:history` is required for the bot to respond to DMs (eve's `onDirectMessage` dispatch hook handles `message.im`).
+- The `*:history` scopes are what let eve's `threadContext` option load prior thread messages — each surface (public channel, private channel, DM, group DM) needs its matching history scope.
+- `im:write` is additionally needed if HITL handlers use `postDirectMessage`.
+- Request the minimum scopes your agent actually needs; the connector's bot scopes bound what any runtime token can do.
+
+### Trigger Events
+
+Subscribe the connector to the events your agent handles:
+
+- `app_mention` — @mentions of the bot in channels
+- `message.im` — direct messages to the bot
+- `message.channels`, `message.groups`, `message.mpim` — channel/group messages, if your agent listens beyond mentions
+
+## Step 2: Attach the Connector to Your Project
+
+Attach the connector to your project. The default trigger path is `/slack`, and eve serves its Slack channel at **`/eve/v1/slack`**, so set the path explicitly:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect attach slack/my-agent --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+```
+
+- `--trigger-path /eve/v1/slack` — eve's canonical Slack route. Events forwarded anywhere else are dropped by your app.
+- `--trigger-branch` defaults to production; set it only if events should go to a different branch's deployments.
+- `--environment` (`-e`) restricts token access to specific environments (defaults to all).
+- A connector can forward triggers to up to three destination projects.
+- `vercel connect detach` removes token access but does **not** remove trigger destinations — manage those on the connector itself (`vercel connect open`).
+
+Verify with `vercel connect list` (alias `ls`). Other useful subcommands: `token`, `update`, `remove` (`rm`), `open`.
+
+### One Connector per Environment
+
+Use a separate connector for each environment (e.g. `slack/my-agent` for production, `slack/my-agent-dev` for previews). This keeps grants, scopes, and audit trails separate and prevents cross-environment token replay.
+
+## Step 3: Set the Environment Variable
+
+Set `SLACK_CONNECTOR` to the connector UID in your Vercel project (and `.env.local` for local work):
+
+```bash
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+```
+
+This is the **only** Slack-related env var. Do not set `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` — leaving them out avoids mixing verification modes.
+
+## Step 4: Wire the Channel in Your Agent
+
+Install the Connect SDK and register the Slack channel:
+
+```bash
+npm install @vercel/connect
+```
+
+```ts
+// agent/channels/slack.ts
+import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
+import { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(
+    process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"
+  ),
+});
+```
+
+The `slack.ts` filename registers the `slack` channel, served at `/eve/v1/slack`. `connectSlackCredentials` returns `{ botToken, webhookVerifier }`:
+
+- **`botToken`** is a resolver that fetches a fresh short-lived token via Connect on every Slack API request (subject pinned to the app, not a user).
+- **`webhookVerifier`** confirms each forwarded event genuinely came from Vercel Connect — this replaces Slack's signature/timestamp check in your code.
+
+In deployments, the Connect SDK authenticates using the OIDC token Vercel injects automatically (`VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`). For local dev, `vercel link` + `vercel env pull` fetches a short-lived dev token into `.env.local` (it expires after ~12 hours — re-pull when it does).
+
+## Step 5: Deploy and Invite the Bot
+
+Slack events forward to **deployments only, never localhost** — the Slack surface cannot be tested locally. Everything else (tools, skills, sessions) works in the local eve TUI.
+
+1. Deploy:
+   ```bash
+   eve deploy
+   ```
+   (`eve deploy` wraps `vercel deploy --prod`.)
+2. Invite the bot to a channel: `/invite @YourBotName`
+3. Mention it: `@YourBotName hello`
+
+## Installations and Workspaces
+
+Installing the connector into a Slack workspace creates an **installation**. Connect handles token rotation and multi-workspace tenancy for you. If a single connector spans multiple workspaces, pass an `installationId` when requesting tokens; with one workspace, no extra configuration is needed.
+
+You can inspect token issuance from the CLI:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect token slack/my-agent --subject app --scopes chat:write --format=json
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Events not arriving (no session starts on @mention)
+
+**Causes and fixes:**
+1. Connector created or attached without `--triggers` — Event Subscriptions are off. Re-attach with `--triggers`.
+2. Wrong trigger path — must be `/eve/v1/slack`. Check with `vercel connect list`, and re-attach with `--trigger-path /eve/v1/slack` if not.
+3. Wrong trigger branch — `--trigger-branch` defaults to production; if you deployed to a preview branch, events won't reach it unless the branch matches.
+4. Deployment not finished (or failed) — Connect forwards to deployments only. Confirm the latest deploy succeeded.
+5. Missing trigger events — verify the connector is subscribed to `app_mention` (and `message.im` for DMs).
+
+### Bot doesn't reply in a channel
+
+**Cause:** The bot isn't a member of the channel.
+
+**Fix:** Invite it with `/invite @YourBotName`, then @mention it again. Also confirm the deployment finished.
+
+### Stuck on "Working…"
+
+**Cause:** The session started but something failed mid-turn (tool error, model auth, etc.).
+
+**Fix:** Inspect logs with `npx eve dev --logs all` (or `/loglevel all` in the TUI) against the deployed app to see the failing step.
+
+### Duplicate replies
+
+**Cause:** Connect's trigger forwarding has no built-in delivery de-duplication, so an event may occasionally be delivered more than once.
+
+**Fix:** Make handlers idempotent — e.g. track processed Slack event IDs and skip repeats.
+
+### Trying to test Slack locally
+
+Forwarding goes to deployments only — pointing anything at `localhost` will not work, and there is no ngrok step. Test the Slack surface against a preview or production deployment; use the local TUI for everything else.
+
+### "channel_not_found" when joining channels
+
+**Cause:** Bot can't access private channels.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. The bot can only join public channels on its own
+2. For private channels, a user must invite the bot
+3. Check the channel ID is correct
+
+### Rate limiting
+
+**Cause:** Too many Slack API requests.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Implement exponential backoff
+2. Cache responses where appropriate
+3. Batch operations when possible
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After setup:
+1. Deploy with `eve deploy`
+2. Add the bot to a channel: `/invite @YourBotName`
+3. Mention the bot: `@YourBotName hello`
+4. Watch it think ("Thinking…" / "Working…") and reply in-thread

+# Vercel Deployment Guide
+
+Complete guide for deploying your eve Slack agent to Vercel.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Vercel account (https://vercel.com)
+- Your project pushed to a Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) — or the Vercel CLI installed for direct deploys
+- A Slack connector created with Vercel Connect (see the Slack setup reference)
+
+## How eve Builds on Vercel
+
+eve deploys to Vercel as a first-class framework:
+
+- `eve build` compiles the agent into `.eve/`. When the `VERCEL` env var is set (as it is on Vercel builds), it also emits `.vercel/output` (Vercel Build Output).
+- On Vercel, the Workflow SDK runs on **Vercel Workflows** and the default sandbox backend selects **Vercel Sandbox**. Off Vercel, `eve start` serves the Nitro Node output with a local workflow world.
+
+**Sandbox prewarm:** Vercel builds prewarm sandbox templates (cache-keyed — build logs show `reused cached` or `built`). **If prewarm fails, the build fails.** Check the build logs for prewarm errors before debugging anything else.
+
+## Deployment Options
+
+### Option A: Deploy via CLI (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+npx eve deploy
+```
+
+This is equivalent to:
+
+```bash
+vercel deploy --prod
+```
+
+### Option B: Git-Connected Deploys
+
+1. Go to https://vercel.com/new
+2. Click **Import Git Repository** and select your repository
+3. Configure project settings:
+   - **Root Directory:** Leave as default
+4. Click **Deploy**
+
+Once connected to Git, Vercel automatically deploys:
+- **Production:** On push to `main` branch
+- **Preview:** On push to other branches
+
+Note: Vercel Connect trigger forwarding targets one environment/branch per attachment (production by default) — preview deployments won't receive Slack events unless you attach a connector trigger to that branch.
+
+## Configure Environment Variables
+
+### Variables
+
+| Variable | Value | Environments | Purpose |
+|----------|-------|--------------|---------|
+| `SLACK_CONNECTOR` | Connector UID (e.g., `slack/my-agent`) | Production, Preview | Vercel Connect Slack credentials — no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` / `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` needed |
+| `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` | Gateway key | Only if not using OIDC | AI Gateway with project OIDC needs **no** key on Vercel |
+| `ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD` / JWT / OIDC keys | Secret | Production, Preview | Route auth for the HTTP API, matching your `AuthFn` |
+| `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET` | Bypass secret | Local `.env` | Lets local tools reach protected preview deployments |
+
+Notes:
+
+- **Model routing:** string model IDs (e.g., `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`) route through the AI Gateway and authenticate via the project's OIDC token — no key required on Vercel.
+- **Connect auth:** in deployments, `@vercel/connect` authenticates with the OIDC token Vercel injects automatically (`VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`); Connect verifies the project/environment against connector links. Nothing to configure beyond `SLACK_CONNECTOR` and the connector-project link.
+
+### Via Dashboard
+
+1. Go to your project in Vercel Dashboard
+2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Environment Variables**
+3. Add the variables above and click **Save**
+4. **Redeploy** your project to apply the changes
+
+### Via CLI
+
+```bash
+vercel env add SLACK_CONNECTOR production
+# You'll be prompted to enter the value
+```
+
+## Replace Placeholder Auth Before Production
+
+Scaffolded projects protect the HTTP API with `placeholderAuth()`, which **fails closed in production** — every request to the API is rejected until you replace it.
+
+Replace it with a real auth function: `httpBasic()`, `jwtHmac()`, `jwtEcdsa()`, `oidc()`, `vercelOidc()`, or a custom `AuthFn`. Set the matching secrets (e.g., `ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD`) in Vercel env vars. See the eve auth guide (https://eve.dev/docs/guides/auth-and-route-protection).
+
+The Slack channel route (`/eve/v1/slack`) is verified separately: the channel's `webhookVerifier` confirms each event forwarded by Vercel Connect.
+
+## Point the Slack Connector at Your Deployment
+
+Slack events don't hit your deployment directly — Slack delivers to Vercel Connect, which verifies them and POSTs to your registered trigger destination. That destination must be your deployment's eve Slack route:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect attach <connector-uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+```
+
+- `--triggers` enables Slack Event Subscriptions (without it, `app_mention` / `message.im` never arrive)
+- `--trigger-branch` defaults to production
+- Forwarding goes to **deployments only, not localhost**
+
+## Verify Deployment
+
+1. **Health check:**
+   ```bash
+   curl https://your-app.vercel.app/eve/v1/health
+   ```
+2. **Create a session over the HTTP API:**
+   ```bash
+   curl -X POST https://your-app.vercel.app/eve/v1/session \
+     -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+     -d '{"message":"Hello!"}'
+   ```
+   (Include the credentials required by your route auth.)
+3. **Interactive smoke test** — drive the deployed app from the local TUI:
+   ```bash
+   npx eve dev https://your-app.vercel.app
+   ```
+4. **Slack:** invite the bot to a channel and @mention it. Check Vercel Dashboard > Logs for the forwarded event.
+
+## Deployment Protection
+
+Connect's forwarded Slack events are **not** blocked by Deployment Protection — no bypass secret is needed on the trigger path. Protection only affects your own requests to the deployment (verification curls, `eve dev <url>`).
+
+If protection is enabled and you need to reach the deployment yourself:
+
+1. Go to Vercel Dashboard > Project Settings > **Deployment Protection**
+2. Under **Protection Bypass for Automation**, copy the secret (also available as the `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET` env var)
+3. Include it where needed:
+   - **Manual verification:** add the header to your curls:
+     `curl -H "x-vercel-protection-bypass: YOUR_SECRET" https://your-app.vercel.app/eve/v1/health`
+   - **Local tooling:** set `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET` in your local `.env`
+4. Rotate the bypass secret periodically
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Vercel Dashboard
+
+- **Deployments:** View deployment history and status
+- **Logs:** Real-time function logs
+- **Analytics:** Request metrics and performance
+
+### Recommended Logging
+
+Add logging to your tools and hooks for debugging:
+
+```typescript
+console.log('[tool:get_weather]', { city });
+```
+
+Logs appear in Vercel Dashboard > Logs. For interactive debugging against the deployment, `npx eve dev https://your-app.vercel.app --logs all` streams the agent's activity.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build fails on Vercel
+
+- Check build logs for a **sandbox prewarm** failure — a failed prewarm fails the build
+
+### All API requests rejected in production
+
+**Cause:** the scaffolded `placeholderAuth()` fails closed in production.
+
+**Solution:** replace it with a real auth function and set its secrets (see above).
+
+### Bot doesn't respond to @mentions
+
+1. Invite the bot to the channel
+2. Confirm the deployment finished
+3. Confirm the connector trigger is attached to this project with `--triggers` and trigger path `/eve/v1/slack` (`vercel connect list`)
+4. Check the trigger branch — it defaults to production; a trigger attached to another branch/environment won't reach this deployment
+
+### 504 Gateway Timeout on API endpoints
+
+**Cause:** a synchronous request exceeded the function time limit.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Use the streaming endpoint (`/eve/v1/session/<id>/stream`) rather than waiting for completion
+2. Remember that agent turns themselves run durably on Vercel Workflows — long-running work isn't bounded by a single request, so prefer session-create + stream over blocking calls
+
+### Environment Variables Not Working
+
+**Cause:** Variables not available after adding.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Redeploy after adding variables
+2. Check variable scope (Production/Preview/Development)
+3. Verify variable names match exactly (case-sensitive)
+
+## Production Checklist
+
+Before going live:
+
+- [ ] `SLACK_CONNECTOR` set for Production (and Preview if used)
+- [ ] Connector trigger attached with `--triggers` and trigger path `/eve/v1/slack`
+- [ ] `placeholderAuth()` replaced with a real auth function; route-auth secrets configured
+- [ ] Model credential in place (OIDC-backed AI Gateway, `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`, or provider key)
+- [ ] Build succeeded, including sandbox prewarm
+- [ ] `/eve/v1/health` returns healthy
+- [ ] Test @mention working in Slack
+- [ ] Logging configured for debugging
+
+## Rollback
+
+If something goes wrong:
+
+1. Go to **Deployments** in Vercel Dashboard
+2. Find a working previous deployment
+3. Click the **...** menu
+4. Select **Promote to Production**
+
+This instantly reverts to the previous version. The connector trigger targets the environment, not a specific deployment, so Slack events follow the promotion automatically.

+# Phase 1: Project Setup
+
+This phase handles creating a new Slack agent project using [eve](https://eve.dev/docs), Vercel's agent framework.
+
+## Check Current State
+
+First, look for existing project indicators:
+- `package.json` with `eve` dependency
+- `agent/` directory (`agent/instructions.md`, `agent/agent.ts`)
+- `agent/channels/slack.ts` (Slack channel)
+- `.env` file with credentials
+
+If these exist, this is an existing project - skip to Phase 2 or 3.
+
+---
+
+## For NEW Projects
+
+### Step 1.1: Understand the Agent Purpose
+
+Before scaffolding the project, ask the user what they're building:
+
+> **What kind of Slack agent are you building?**
+>
+> Examples: joke bot, support assistant, weather bot, task manager, standup bot, etc.
+>
+> Tell me what you want your agent to do, and I'll create a custom implementation plan for you.
+
+Based on their response, generate a recommended project name:
+- "joke bot" -> `joke-slack-agent`
+- "customer support" -> `support-slack-agent`
+- "weather" -> `weather-slack-agent`
+- "task manager" -> `taskbot-slack-agent`
+- "standup" -> `standup-slack-agent`
+
+Use the pattern: `<purpose>-slack-agent` (lowercase, hyphens, no spaces).
+
+**Store this context** - you'll use it for the connector name in Phase 2 and for `agent/instructions.md` in Step 1.5.
+
+### Step 1.2: Generate Custom Implementation Plan
+
+Based on the user's stated purpose, generate a custom implementation plan tailored to their specific agent.
+
+**Reference document:** See `reference/agent-archetypes.md` for common patterns and the plan template.
+
+**Instructions for plan generation:**
+
+1. **Analyze the agent purpose** to identify:
+   - Primary interaction patterns (@mentions, DMs, button interactions, scheduled)
+   - What the model needs to *do* (tools) vs. what it needs to *know* (instructions/skills)
+   - Whether the agent reacts to Slack events or also runs proactively (schedules)
+   - Thread-context needs (does a reply need the full thread history?)
+   - External integrations needed (APIs, MCP servers, databases)
+
+2. **Match to archetypes** from the reference document:
+   - Standup/Reminder Bot
+   - Support/Help Desk Bot
+   - Information/Lookup Bot
+   - Conversational AI Bot
+   - Automation Bot
+   - Notification/Alerting Bot
+   - Or combine multiple archetypes for hybrid agents
+
+3. **Generate a specific plan** using the template structure:
+   - Overview (1-2 sentences)
+   - Core Features (3-5 specific features)
+   - Dispatch Hooks (what triggers the agent - `onAppMention`, `onDirectMessage`, `onInteraction`)
+   - Tools (specific tool names and parameters - each becomes a `defineTool` file in `agent/tools/`, where the filename is the tool name)
+   - Skills (load-on-demand instructions as `agent/skills/*.md`, if the agent has distinct task modes)
+   - Schedules (if the agent runs proactively - with cron expressions)
+   - Thread Context (whether the Slack channel should load prior thread messages)
+   - Files to Create/Modify (specific file paths using eve conventions: `agent/instructions.md`, `agent/agent.ts`, `agent/tools/*.ts`, `agent/skills/*.md`, `agent/channels/slack.ts`)
+
+4. **Include complexity indicator:**
+   - **Simple** - Instructions + 1-2 tools, no external services, can be built quickly
+   - **Medium** - Multiple tools, skills, or thread context, moderate effort
+   - **Complex** - Multi-turn workflows, external integrations, scheduled jobs
+
+**After generating the plan**, proceed to [Phase 1b: Approve Plan](./1b-approve-plan.md) to present it to the user for approval.
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.3: Choose LLM Provider
+
+> **Note:** Only proceed to this step after the implementation plan has been approved in [Phase 1b](./1b-approve-plan.md).
+
+Every eve agent needs a model credential. Ask the user how they want to authenticate:
+
+> **How do you want to connect to your LLM provider?**
+>
+> 1. **Vercel AI Gateway with Vercel OIDC** (Recommended)
+>    - Easiest setup - no API keys needed when the project is linked to Vercel
+>    - Access to multiple providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) via model-ID strings
+>    - Built-in rate limiting and observability
+>
+> 2. **Vercel AI Gateway with an API key**
+>    - Same Gateway routing, authenticated with `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`
+>    - Useful outside Vercel-linked environments (e.g., external CI)
+
+Based on their choice:
+
+**If AI Gateway with Vercel OIDC (default):**
+- eve's default model is `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`, routed through the Gateway automatically
+- No API keys needed - `vercel link` + `vercel env pull` provides `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN` locally; deployments get it automatically
+- Store this choice for Phase 3 (no AI keys needed in .env)
+
+**If AI Gateway with an API key:**
+- Same default model; authentication via `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`
+- Store this choice for Phase 3 (will need `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` in .env)
+
+**Store this context** - you'll use it for environment configuration in Phase 3.
+
+### Step 1.4: Scaffold the Project
+
+**Check Node version first** - eve requires Node 24+:
+
+```bash
+node --version  # must be 24.x or later
+```
+
+Create a new eve project with the recommended name:
+
+```bash
+npx eve@latest init <recommended-name>
+```
+
+This creates the project, installs dependencies (`eve`, `ai`, `zod`), and initializes Git. If a coding-agent REPL (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) is installed, init offers to open it — decline, or exit whichever it starts (REPL or the `eve dev` TUI), to continue with the wizard.
+
+> **Existing codebase?** Run `eve init .` inside the project instead - it adds the `eve`, `ai`, and `zod` dependencies to the current project.
+
+Ask the user to confirm or customize the project name before proceeding.
+
+### Step 1.5: Set Up the Agent Files
+
+After scaffolding, fill in the core agent files. eve is filesystem-first: a file's location says what it does, and its path usually gives it its name.
+
+1. **Write `agent/instructions.md`** - the always-on system prompt. Generate this from the Step 1.1 interview and the approved plan: who the agent is, what it does, its tone, and any hard rules. For example, for a weather bot:
+
+   ```markdown
+   You are a friendly weather assistant for our Slack workspace.
+
+   - Answer questions about current weather using your tools.
+   - Keep replies short and conversational; reply in the thread you were mentioned in.
+   - If a location is ambiguous, ask for clarification instead of guessing.
+   ```
+
+2. **Configure `agent/agent.ts`** - runtime config via `defineAgent`:
+
+   ```typescript
+   import { defineAgent } from "eve";
+
+   export default defineAgent({
+     model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5",
+   });
+   ```
+
+   The `model` string routes through Vercel AI Gateway (it's also the default if omitted).
+
+3. **Create the first tool** from the approved plan in `agent/tools/` - the filename (snake_case) is the tool name the model sees, no registration needed. For example, `agent/tools/get_weather.ts`:
+
+   ```typescript
+   import { defineTool } from "eve/tools";
+   import { z } from "zod";
+
+   export default defineTool({
+     description: "Get the current weather for a city.",
+     inputSchema: z.object({ city: z.string().min(1) }),
+     async execute({ city }) {
+       return { city, condition: "Sunny", temperatureF: 72 };
+     },
+   });
+   ```
+
+4. **Add the Slack channel** - run:
+
+   ```bash
+   eve channels add slack
+   ```
+
+   This scaffolds the channel and installs its dependency (`@vercel/connect`). Then make sure `agent/channels/slack.ts` wires credentials through Vercel Connect:
+
+   ```typescript
+   import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
+   import { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+   export default slackChannel({
+     credentials: connectSlackCredentials(
+       process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/<recommended-name>"
+     ),
+   });
+   ```
+
+   The `slack.ts` filename registers the `slack` channel, served at `/eve/v1/slack`. The connector UID (`SLACK_CONNECTOR`) is created in Phase 2 - no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` to manage.
+
+### Step 1.6: Verify Project Structure
+
+After setup, verify the project structure:
+
+```
+agent/
+  instructions.md      # always-on system prompt (from the interview)
+  agent.ts             # runtime config (defineAgent)
+  tools/*.ts           # tools - filename = tool name (defineTool)
+  skills/*.md          # load-on-demand instructions (if planned)
+  channels/slack.ts    # Slack channel via Vercel Connect
+```
+
+If the structure looks correct, proceed to Phase 2.
+
+---
+
+## For EXISTING Projects
+
+Verify the project structure:
+- `package.json` with the `eve` dependency (if missing, run `eve init .`)
+- `agent/instructions.md` and `agent/agent.ts` - core agent files
+- `agent/channels/slack.ts` - Slack channel (add with `eve channels add slack` if missing)
+
+If the structure looks correct, proceed to Phase 2 (Create the Slack Connector) or Phase 3 (Configure Environment) depending on what's already done.
+
+---
+
+## Next Phase
+
+Once the project is set up, proceed to [Phase 2: Create the Slack Connector](./2-create-slack-app.md).

+# Phase 1b: Approve Implementation Plan
+
+This phase presents the generated implementation plan to the user for review and approval before proceeding with project setup.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+You should have:
+- Completed Step 1.1 (Understand Agent Purpose)
+- Generated a custom implementation plan in Step 1.2
+
+---
+
+## Present the Plan
+
+Display the generated implementation plan to the user in a clear, organized format:
+
+> **Here's my proposed implementation plan for your [Agent Name]:**
+>
+> [Display the full generated plan from Step 1.2]
+>
+> **Complexity:** [Simple/Medium/Complex]
+
+---
+
+## Request User Decision
+
+After presenting the plan, ask the user to choose how to proceed:
+
+> **What would you like to do?**
+>
+> 1. **Approve and continue** - Proceed with this plan
+> 2. **Modify the plan** - Tell me what to change
+> 3. **Start over** - Describe your agent differently
+
+---
+
+## Handle User Response
+
+### If User Approves
+
+Store the approved plan for reference throughout the remaining phases:
+
+1. **Note the key elements** that will be implemented:
+   - Dispatch hooks to set up (`onAppMention`, `onDirectMessage`, `onInteraction`)
+   - Tools to build (`agent/tools/*.ts`)
+   - Skills to write (`agent/skills/*.md`)
+   - Schedules and thread-context needs
+   - (No custom Slack UI needed - eve renders typing indicators and human-in-the-loop buttons itself)
+
+2. **Return to Phase 1** to continue with:
+   - [Step 1.3: Choose LLM Provider](./1-project-setup.md#step-13-choose-llm-provider)
+   - [Step 1.4: Scaffold the Project](./1-project-setup.md#step-14-scaffold-the-project)
+
+3. **The approved plan guides implementation** in later phases:
+   - Phase 1 (Step 1.5): instructions.md and the first tool come from the plan
+   - Phase 3+: Build the remaining features specified in the plan
+
+### If User Wants Modifications
+
+Ask clarifying questions about what to change:
+
+> **What would you like to change?**
+>
+> You can:
+> - Add or remove features
+> - Rename tools or change their parameters
+> - Adjust which dispatch hooks the agent responds to
+> - Add or drop skills and schedules
+> - Change any other aspect of the plan
+
+After receiving feedback:
+
+1. Update the plan based on their input
+2. Present the revised plan
+3. Ask for approval again
+
+**Common modification requests:**
+
+| User says... | How to modify |
+|-------------|---------------|
+| "It should be able to do X" | Add to the Tools table |
+| "I don't need X feature" | Remove from Core Features |
+| "Make it simpler" | Reduce scope, mark as lower complexity |
+| "It should also respond to DMs" | Add `onDirectMessage` to Dispatch Hooks |
+| "It should run every morning" | Add to Schedules with a cron expression |
+| "I need to store data" | Add a tool backed by a database or external API |
+
+### If User Wants to Start Over
+
+Return to [Step 1.1: Understand the Agent Purpose](./1-project-setup.md#step-11-understand-the-agent-purpose) and ask them to describe their agent differently.
+
+---
+
+## Plan Refinement Tips
+
+When modifying plans based on user feedback:
+
+1. **Keep it focused** - Only include features the user explicitly wants
+2. **Be specific** - Use concrete names for commands and tools
+3. **Consider dependencies** - If they want feature X, they might also need Y
+4. **Right-size complexity** - Don't over-engineer simple bots
+
+**Example refinement conversation:**
+
+> User: "I want a weather bot but simpler - just current weather, no forecast"
+>
+> Assistant: "Got it! Here's a simplified plan..."
+>
+> ```
+> ## Implementation Plan: Weather Bot (Simplified)
+>
+> ### Overview
+> A simple bot that provides current weather for any location.
+>
+> ### Core Features
+> 1. **Current Weather** - Get current conditions for a location
+>
+> ### Tools
+> | Tool | Description | Example trigger |
+> |------|-------------|-----------------|
+> | `get_weather` | Get current weather for a city | "@weatherbot what's it like in San Francisco?" |
+>
+> ### Complexity: Simple
+> ```
+
+---
+
+## Context to Store
+
+After approval, maintain these details for use in later phases:
+
+| Context | Used In |
+|---------|---------|
+| Tool names and parameters | Phase 1 (Step 1.5), implementation |
+| Dispatch hooks needed | Phase 1 (Step 1.5), implementation |
+| LLM provider choice | Phase 1 (Step 1.3), Phase 3 (.env) |
+| Thread-context and schedule needs | Implementation |
+| Feature list | Implementation reference |
+
+---
+
+## Next Phase
+
+After the plan is approved, return to [Phase 1: Project Setup](./1-project-setup.md) to continue with:
+- Step 1.3: Choose LLM Provider

+# Phase 2: Create the Slack Connector
+
+This phase guides the user through connecting their agent to Slack with Vercel Connect. There is no Slack app to create at api.slack.com and no manifest to paste — Vercel Connect manages the Slack OAuth client, brokers short-lived tokens at runtime, and forwards Slack events to the deployed agent. The only Slack credential the project needs is the `SLACK_CONNECTOR` env var.
+
+**Prerequisites:** the latest Vercel CLI (`npm install -g vercel@latest`) and the project linked to Vercel (`vercel link`, done in Phase 1). The user needs permission to install apps in their Slack workspace.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2.0: Choose a Connector Name
+
+Collect the connector name from the user. Use the context from Phase 1 (agent purpose) as the default.
+
+Ask the user:
+
+> **Let's set up your Slack connector:**
+>
+> 1. **Connector Name** (required) - A short kebab-case identifier (e.g., "joke-bot"). The full connector UID becomes `slack/<name>`.
+> 2. **Environment** (optional) - Which environment this connector serves. Best practice is one connector per environment (e.g., `joke-bot` for production, `joke-bot-dev` for previews) to keep grants and audit trails separate.
+
+**After collecting responses**, record the full UID (e.g., `slack/joke-bot`) — it will be used in every command below and stored as `SLACK_CONNECTOR` in Phase 3.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2.1: Create the Connector
+
+Run (or have the user run) from the project directory:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect create slack --name <name> --triggers
+```
+
+- `--triggers` enables Slack Event Subscriptions through Connect. **Do not omit it** — without it, `app_mention` and `message.im` events never arrive.
+- The CLI sets up the connection automatically and opens the browser for steps that need manual input — installing the connector into the Slack workspace and selecting bot scopes and trigger events.
+
+Tell the user to select:
+
+> **Bot scopes:** `chat:write`, `channels:read`, `channels:history`, `groups:history`, `im:history`, `mpim:history`, `reactions:write`, `users:read`
+>
+> - `im:history` is required for the bot to answer DMs.
+> - The `*:history` scopes let eve load prior thread messages for context.
+>
+> **Trigger events:** `app_mention`, `message.im` (add `message.channels` / `message.groups` / `message.mpim` only if the agent should listen beyond mentions and DMs).
+
+---
+
+## Step 2.2: Attach with eve's Trigger Path
+
+Attach the connector to the project. The default trigger path is `/slack`, but eve serves its Slack channel at `/eve/v1/slack`, so set the path explicitly:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect attach slack/<name> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+```
+
+(Don't use `detach` for this — it removes token access but does **not** remove trigger destinations. If a stale destination lingers, remove it on the connector: `vercel connect open slack/<name>`.)
+
+**Important:** the trigger path must be exactly `/eve/v1/slack` — events forwarded anywhere else are dropped by the app. `--trigger-branch` defaults to production, which is correct for this wizard.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2.3: Verify
+
+Confirm the connector exists and is attached to the project with the right trigger path:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect list
+```
+
+Check the output shows the connector UID (`slack/<name>`), the linked project, and trigger path `/eve/v1/slack`. If the path is wrong, repeat Step 2.2.
+
+Remind the user:
+
+> Slack events forward to **deployments only, never localhost** — the Slack surface can't be tested until the agent is deployed (Phase 5). Everything else works in the local eve TUI.
+
+---
+
+## Context to Store
+
+Carry these values forward:
+
+- **`SLACK_CONNECTOR`** = `slack/<name>` (needed for `.env` in Phase 3)
+- Connector name and target Slack workspace
+- Selected bot scopes and trigger events (for troubleshooting later)
+
+No bot token or signing secret exists to collect — Connect issues short-lived tokens at runtime and verifies every forwarded event for you.
+
+---
+
+## Next Phase
+
+Once the connector is created, attached at `/eve/v1/slack`, and the `SLACK_CONNECTOR` value is recorded, proceed to [Phase 3: Configure Environment](./3-configure-environment.md).

+# Phase 3: Configure Environment
+
+This phase sets up the environment variables needed for the Slack agent to run. With Vercel Connect there are no Slack tokens to paste — the only Slack variable is `SLACK_CONNECTOR`, using the connector UID from Phase 2.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3.1: Link the Project and Pull Environment
+
+Link the directory to the Vercel project and pull the environment. This fetches `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN` into `.env.local`, which authenticates local calls to both the AI Gateway and Vercel Connect:
+
+```bash
+vercel link
+vercel env pull
+```
+
+**Note:** The pulled `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN` expires after ~12 hours. If local AI or Connect calls start failing with auth errors later, re-run `vercel env pull`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3.2: Complete .env.local
+
+Add to `.env.local` based on the user's LLM choice from Step 1.3 and the connector UID from Phase 2:
+
+**If using Vercel AI Gateway via OIDC (default):**
+```env
+# Slack via Vercel Connect (no bot token or signing secret needed)
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+
+# VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN was written by `vercel env pull`
+
+# No AI keys needed - the AI Gateway authenticates via the OIDC token!
+```
+
+**If using Vercel AI Gateway with an API key:**
+```env
+# Slack via Vercel Connect
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+
+# AI Gateway key (instead of OIDC)
+AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY=your-gateway-key
+```
+
+**If No LLM needed:**
+```env
+# Slack via Vercel Connect
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+```
+
+**Security:** Never display API keys or the OIDC token back to the user or in logs. `SLACK_CONNECTOR` is an identifier, not a secret.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3.3: Verify .gitignore
+
+Ensure credentials won't be committed:
+
+```bash
+# Check .gitignore covers .env files (including .env.local)
+grep -q "^\.env" .gitignore || printf ".env\n.env*.local\n" >> .gitignore
+```
+
+---
+
+## Next Phase
+
+Once the environment is configured, proceed to [Phase 4: Test Locally](./4-test-locally.md).

+# Phase 4: Test the Agent Locally
+
+This phase guides the user through testing their agent locally with the `eve dev` TUI and the HTTP API.
+
+**Important:** the Slack surface **cannot** be tested locally. Slack events route through Vercel Connect, which forwards to deployments only — never to localhost. There is no tunneling step (no ngrok). Everything else — instructions, tools, skills, the conversation loop — works locally, and that's what this phase exercises. The Slack surface is tested in Phase 5 against the production deployment.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4.0: Link to Vercel and Pull Environment
+
+Before testing locally, connect the project to Vercel. This provides the OIDC token that authenticates both **Vercel AI Gateway** (model calls without API keys) and **Vercel Connect** (the Slack connector SDK).
+
+1. **Create/link the Vercel project** (if not already done):
+   ```bash
+   vercel link
+   ```
+   Confirm the project is linked (creates `.vercel/` directory).
+
+2. **Pull environment variables:**
+   ```bash
+   vercel env pull
+   ```
+   This fetches a short-lived dev token into `.env.local`, along with project env vars like `SLACK_CONNECTOR`.
+
+**Why this is required:**
+
+- Vercel AI Gateway authenticates via the OIDC token — no `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` or provider keys needed
+- The `@vercel/connect` SDK authenticates with the same token
+- The pulled OIDC token expires after ~12 hours — if auth errors appear later, re-run `vercel env pull`
+
+**Note:** You'll complete the full deployment in Phase 5. This step just establishes local access to the Gateway and Connect.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4.1: Run the Agent in the Dev TUI
+
+```bash
+npx eve dev
+```
+
+This starts the HMR dev server with a terminal REPL/TUI. Tell the user:
+
+> **Exercise your agent in the TUI:**
+>
+> 1. Send a message that matches your agent's purpose and confirm the instructions shape the reply
+> 2. Trigger each tool (e.g., ask a question that requires `get_weather`) and confirm it executes and returns sensible output
+> 3. If you added skills, send a request matching a skill's description and confirm it loads (watch for the `load_skill` call)
+> 4. Test any approval-gated tools — the gated call should pause and resume after approval
+
+Useful variants:
+
+- `npx eve dev --no-ui` — run without the TUI (background/verification runs)
+- `/loglevel all` in the TUI, or `npx eve dev --logs all` — verbose logs when debugging
+- `npx eve dev https://your-app.vercel.app` — drive a **deployed** app interactively (used in Phase 5)
+
+---
+
+## Step 4.2: (Optional) Exercise the HTTP API
+
+Every eve app serves the same stable HTTP API. With the dev server running, you can verify it directly:
+
+```bash
+# Create a session
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:2000/eve/v1/session \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"message":"What is the weather in Brooklyn?"}'
+# → continuationToken in body, x-eve-session-id header
+
+# Stream the session (NDJSON, application/x-ndjson)
+curl http://127.0.0.1:2000/eve/v1/session/<sessionId>/stream
+
+# Send a follow-up
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:2000/eve/v1/session/<sessionId> \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"continuationToken":"<token>","message":"Now do Queens."}'
+```
+
+Key stream events to look for: `session.started`, `actions.requested`, `action.result`, `message.completed`, `session.completed`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4.3: Slack Testing Comes in Phase 5
+
+Tell the user:
+
+> **Local testing does not cover Slack.** Vercel Connect forwards Slack events (@mentions, DMs) to deployments only — localhost can never receive them. Once your agent behaves correctly in the TUI, deploy in Phase 5 and test the Slack surface there by inviting the bot and @mentioning it.
+
+Do **not** suggest ngrok or any tunneling tool — it does not apply to the Connect forwarding model.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### AI Gateway not working / Authentication errors
+- Run `vercel link` to connect your project to Vercel
+- Ensure `.vercel/` directory exists in your project root
+- Run `vercel env pull` to refresh `.env.local` — the local OIDC token expires after ~12 hours
+
+### Agent doesn't respond in the TUI
+- Restart with verbose logs: `npx eve dev --logs all` (or `/loglevel all` in the TUI)
+- Check for model-credential errors in the log output
+- Confirm Node 24+ is in use (`node --version`)
+
+### Tool not being called
+- The filename is the tool name the model sees (`agent/tools/get_weather.ts` → `get_weather`) — confirm it's snake_case ASCII and the `description` clearly says when to use it
+- Confirm the tool exports a `defineTool` default and has an `inputSchema` (required even if empty)
+
+---
+
+## Context to Store
+
+- **Local test result** — confirmation the agent, tools, and skills behave as planned (referenced when verifying production in Phase 5)
+
+## Next Phase
+
+Once the agent behaves correctly locally, proceed to [Phase 5: Deploy to Production](./5-deploy-production.md) — that's where the Slack surface gets tested.

+# Phase 5: Deploy to Production
+
+This phase guides the user through deploying their eve agent to Vercel and testing the Slack surface — which only works against a deployment (Vercel Connect forwards events to deployments, never localhost).
+
+---
+
+## Step 5.1: Push to GitHub
+
+```bash
+# Create repo on GitHub, then:
+git remote add origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO.git
+git push -u origin main
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5.2: Deploy to Vercel
+
+**Option A - Via CLI (recommended):**
+```bash
+npx eve deploy
+```
+This wraps `vercel deploy --prod` — eve builds and emits Vercel Build Output.
+
+**Option B - Git-connected deploy:**
+> 1. Go to https://vercel.com/new
+> 2. Import your GitHub repository
+> 3. Click **Deploy**
+>
+> After that, every push to `main` deploys to production automatically.
+
+**If the build fails:** check the build logs for a **sandbox prewarm** failure — Vercel builds prewarm sandbox templates, and a failed prewarm fails the build.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5.3: Configure Production Environment Variables
+
+Tell the user:
+
+> **Add environment variables in Vercel:**
+>
+> **Option A - Via CLI:**
+> ```bash
+> vercel env add SLACK_CONNECTOR
+> ```
+> Enter your connector UID (e.g., `slack/my-agent`) when prompted. Select all environments (Production, Preview, Development) when asked.
+>
+> **Option B - Via Dashboard:**
+> 1. Go to your project in Vercel Dashboard
+> 2. Go to **Settings** -> **Environment Variables**
+> 3. Add `SLACK_CONNECTOR` = your connector UID
+> 4. Click **Save**
+
+No `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` is needed — Vercel Connect brokers short-lived Slack tokens at runtime and verifies forwarded webhooks.
+
+**Note for AI configuration:**
+- **Using Vercel AI Gateway (default)?** No AI API keys needed — string model IDs authenticate via the project's OIDC token on Vercel.
+
+**Route auth:** if you replaced `placeholderAuth()` with e.g. `httpBasic()`, add its secrets (e.g., `ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD`). Remember `placeholderAuth()` fails closed in production — the HTTP API rejects everything until it's replaced.
+
+**After adding variables:** Redeploy the project for changes to take effect.
+- CLI: `npx eve deploy`
+- Dashboard: Deployments -> ... -> Redeploy
+
+---
+
+## Step 5.4: Confirm the Connector Trigger Destination
+
+Slack events reach the agent only if the connector's trigger forwarding points at this project's production deployment on eve's Slack route.
+
+Check the current attachment:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect list
+```
+
+If the connector isn't registered as a trigger destination on `/eve/v1/slack`, re-run the attach with the right path:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect attach <connector-uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+```
+
+- `--triggers` registers this project as a trigger destination — without it, `app_mention` / `message.im` never arrive
+- `--trigger-branch` defaults to production, which is what you want here
+- Note: `vercel connect detach` removes token access but does **not** remove trigger destinations — manage those on the connector (dashboard: `vercel connect open <connector-uid>`)
+
+Deployment Protection does not block Connect's forwarded events, and no bypass secret is needed for the trigger path. If protection is enabled and you want to run verification curls against the deployment, set `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET` locally and pass it as the `x-vercel-protection-bypass` header on those curls only.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5.5: Verify Production
+
+First, confirm the deployment is healthy:
+
+```bash
+curl https://YOUR-APP.vercel.app/eve/v1/health
+```
+
+Then tell the user:
+
+> **Test the Slack surface:**
+>
+> 1. Open your Slack workspace
+> 2. Invite the bot to a channel: `/invite @YourBotName`
+> 3. Mention the bot: `@YourBotName hello!`
+> 4. You should see a "Working…" indicator, then a reply in the thread
+> 5. Check Vercel Dashboard -> Logs for the forwarded event
+
+For an interactive smoke test of the deployed agent itself:
+
+```bash
+npx eve dev https://YOUR-APP.vercel.app
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Bot doesn't respond to @mentions
+- Invite the bot to the channel first
+- Confirm the deployment finished (check Deployments in the dashboard)
+- Confirm the connector trigger is attached to **this** project with `--triggers` and trigger path `/eve/v1/slack` (`vercel connect list`)
+- Check the trigger branch/environment — triggers default to production; a trigger attached to another branch or a preview environment won't reach the production deployment
+
+### Bot stuck on "Working…"
+- Stream logs from the deployment: `npx eve dev https://YOUR-APP.vercel.app --logs all` (or `/loglevel all` in the TUI)
+
+### Health check fails
+- Confirm the deployment completed and the URL is correct
+- If Deployment Protection is on, add `-H "x-vercel-protection-bypass: YOUR_SECRET"` to the curl
+
+### HTTP API rejects all requests
+- The scaffolded `placeholderAuth()` fails closed in production — replace it with a real auth function and set its secrets, then redeploy
+
+---
+
+## Context to Store
+
+- **Deployment URL** — the production URL (used for health checks and `eve dev <url>`)
+- **Deployment protection status** — whether verification curls need the `x-vercel-protection-bypass` header
+
+## Next Phase (Optional)
+
+Once production is verified, you may optionally proceed to [Phase 6: Set Up Testing](./6-setup-testing.md).

+# Phase 6: Set Up Testing (Optional but Recommended)
+
+This phase guides the user through setting up a testing framework for their eve Slack agent.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.1: Install Test Dependencies
+
+```bash
+pnpm add -D vitest @vitest/coverage-v8
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.2: Create Test Config
+
+Create `vitest.config.ts` in the project root. Tests are co-located with the agent code under `agent/`; eve's build artifacts in `.eve/` are excluded.
+
+```typescript
+import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  test: {
+    globals: true,
+    environment: 'node',
+    include: [
+      'agent/**/*.test.ts',
+    ],
+    exclude: [
+      'node_modules',
+      '.eve',
+      '.vercel',
+      'dist',
+    ],
+    coverage: {
+      provider: 'v8',
+      reporter: ['text', 'json', 'html'],
+      include: ['agent/**/*.ts'],
+      exclude: [
+        'agent/**/*.test.ts',
+        'agent/**/*.d.ts',
+        'agent/__tests__/**',
+      ],
+      thresholds: {
+        lines: 70,
+        functions: 70,
+        branches: 60,
+        statements: 70,
+      },
+    },
+    setupFiles: ['./agent/__tests__/setup.ts'],
+    testTimeout: 10000,
+    retry: 0,
+    reporters: ['verbose'],
+  },
+});
+```
+
+You can also copy this from `./templates/eve/vitest.config.ts`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.3: Create Test Setup
+
+Create `agent/__tests__/setup.ts` with test utilities and mocks. You can copy the template from `./templates/eve/test-setup.ts`.
+
+This setup file provides:
+- Environment variable stubs for tests (`SLACK_CONNECTOR`, `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` — no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`; Vercel Connect brokers Slack credentials)
+- Module-boundary mocks for `eve`, `eve/tools`, `eve/channels/slack`, `@vercel/connect`, and `@vercel/connect/eve`
+- Mock factories for creating test fixtures (tool `ctx`, Slack channel handle, Slack messages)
+- Test lifecycle hooks
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.4: Add Test Scripts
+
+Add to `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "test": "vitest run",
+    "test:watch": "vitest",
+    "test:coverage": "vitest run --coverage",
+    "typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.5: Create Sample Tests
+
+Copy the sample test templates from `./templates/eve/sample-tests/` into your project:
+
+- `agent.test.ts` - Sample agent config and Slack channel tests (split into `agent/agent.test.ts` and `agent/channels/slack.test.ts`)
+- `tools.test.ts` - Sample tool unit tests (copy alongside each tool, e.g. `agent/tools/get_channel_messages.test.ts`)
+
+Customize these templates for your specific implementation. Tools are default exports from `defineTool` — test them by calling `execute(input, ctx)` directly with a mock `ctx`, covering error paths as well as the happy path.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.6: Run Tests
+
+```bash
+pnpm test
+```
+
+---
+
+## Test Coverage Guidelines
+
+Aim for these coverage targets:
+
+| Category | Target |
+|----------|--------|
+| Tools | 90%+ |
+| Agent logic | 85%+ |
+| Channel event handlers | 80%+ |
+| Utilities | 90%+ |
+| Overall | 80%+ |
+
+Run coverage report:
+```bash
+pnpm test:coverage
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security Reminders
+
+- NEVER commit `.env` files
+- NEVER log full API tokens
+- Use different Vercel Connect connectors for dev and production (one connector per environment)
+- Rotate credentials if exposed
+
+---
+
+## Complete!
+
+Your Slack agent is now set up with:
+
+- eve project with the filesystem-first agent layout (`agent/instructions.md`, `agent/agent.ts`, `agent/tools/`, `agent/channels/slack.ts`, `agent/skills/`)
+- Slack connectivity through Vercel Connect (`SLACK_CONNECTOR`, trigger path `/eve/v1/slack`)
+- Environment configuration
+- Local development workflow (`npx eve dev`)
+- Production deployment on Vercel
+- Testing infrastructure
+
+For ongoing development, refer to:
+- `./SKILL.md` - Development standards and patterns
+- `./patterns/testing-patterns.md` - Detailed testing guidance
+- `./patterns/slack-patterns.md` - Slack-specific patterns
+- `./reference/` - Technical reference documentation

+# Slack Agent Setup Wizard
+
+Interactive wizard for building and deploying Slack agents on Vercel using [eve](https://eve.dev/docs), Vercel's agent framework, with Slack credentials brokered by [Vercel Connect](https://vercel.com/kb/guide/vercel-connect). This wizard guides users through the complete setup process from project creation to production deployment.
+
+## Key Feature: Custom Implementation Planning
+
+When starting a new project, the wizard generates a **custom implementation plan** tailored to the specific agent the user wants to build. Instead of a generic template setup, users get:
+
+- Specific dispatch hooks for their use case
+- Appropriate tools and skills
+- Right-sized thread-context and scheduling choices
+- Concrete file paths to create
+
+This plan is presented for approval before any code is scaffolded, allowing users to refine the scope before implementation.
+
+## How to Use
+
+The wizard is divided into 7 phases. Based on the user's request and project state, determine which phase to start with:
+
+### Command Arguments
+
+- `new` - Start fresh with Phase 1 (new project)
+- `configure` - Start with Phase 2 or 3 (existing project)
+- `deploy` - Start with Phase 5 (deploy to production)
+- `test` - Start with Phase 6 (set up testing)
+- (no argument) - Auto-detect based on project state
+
+### Phase Detection
+
+Check the project state to determine the appropriate starting phase:
+
+| Condition | Starting Phase |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| No `package.json` with `eve` (and no `agent/` directory) | Phase 1 - New project |
+| Has project but no Slack connector (`SLACK_CONNECTOR` unset) | Phase 2 - Create the Slack connector |
+| Has connector but no `.env` file | Phase 3 - Configure environment |
+| Has `.env` but not tested locally | Phase 4 - Test locally |
+| Tested locally but not deployed | Phase 5 - Deploy to production |
+| Deployed but no tests | Phase 6 - Set up testing |
+
+### Wizard Phases
+
+1. **[Project Setup](./1-project-setup.md)** - Understand purpose, generate implementation plan
+1b. **[Approve Plan](./1b-approve-plan.md)** - Review and approve custom implementation plan
+2. **[Create the Slack Connector](./2-create-slack-app.md)** - Register a Slack connector with Vercel Connect
+3. **[Configure Environment](./3-configure-environment.md)** - Set up .env
+4. **[Test Locally](./4-test-locally.md)** - Test the agent in the `eve dev` TUI
+5. **[Deploy to Production](./5-deploy-production.md)** - Vercel deployment
+6. **[Set Up Testing](./6-setup-testing.md)** - Vitest configuration (optional)
+
+## Context to Maintain
+
+Throughout the wizard, track these user choices for use in later phases:
+
+- **Agent purpose** - What the agent does (used for naming, instructions.md, and the connector name)
+- **Implementation plan** - The approved custom plan with features, hooks, and tools
+- **Project name** - Directory name for the project
+- **LLM provider choice** - AI Gateway with OIDC, or Gateway API key
+- **Slack connector UID** - e.g. `slack/my-agent` (value of `SLACK_CONNECTOR`)
+- **Deployment URL** - Vercel URL for production
+- **Deployment protection status** - Whether bypass secret is needed
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Command | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|
+| `eve dev` | Start local dev server + terminal TUI (port 2000) |
+| `eve dev https://<app>` | Drive a deployed app interactively |
+| `eve build` | Compile the agent into `.eve/` |
+| `eve deploy` | Deploy to Vercel (wraps `vercel deploy --prod`) |
+| `vercel connect create slack --triggers` | Register a Slack connector |
+| `vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes` | Point the connector's triggers at the agent |
+| `vercel link` + `vercel env pull` | Link the project and pull OIDC/dev env vars |
+| `pnpm lint` / `pnpm typecheck` / `pnpm test` | Quality gates |
+
+## Environment Variables Summary
+
+| Variable | Required | Where to Get It |
+|----------|----------|-----------------|
+| `SLACK_CONNECTOR` | Yes | Connector UID from `vercel connect create slack` (e.g. `slack/my-agent`) |
+| `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN` | Auto | Injected in deployments; locally via `vercel env pull` (expires ~12h) |
+| `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` | Only if not using Vercel OIDC | Vercel dashboard > AI Gateway |
+
+**No Slack tokens needed** - Vercel Connect brokers short-lived Slack credentials at runtime (no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`) and verifies webhooks for you. **Using Vercel AI Gateway with OIDC?** No AI API keys needed either.

+# Slack Agent Skill
+
+A skill for building and deploying Slack agents on Vercel with **[eve](https://eve.dev/docs)** (Vercel's durable agent framework) and **[Vercel Connect](https://vercel.com/kb/guide/vercel-connect)** (managed Slack credentials — no bot tokens or signing secrets to handle).
+
+## Features
+
+- **Interactive Setup Wizard**: Step-by-step guidance from project creation to production deployment
+- **eve Framework**: Filesystem-first agents — `instructions.md`, `defineAgent`, tools in `agent/tools/`, a Slack channel in `agent/channels/` — with a durable, crash-safe runtime
+- **Vercel Connect Integration**: Managed Slack OAuth, token rotation, and webhook verification; the only Slack env var is `SLACK_CONNECTOR`
+- **Custom Implementation Planning**: Generates a tailored plan based on your agent's purpose before scaffolding
+- **Quality Standards**: Embedded testing and code quality requirements
+- **AI Integration**: Vercel AI Gateway (`anthropic/claude-sonnet-5` by default) — no AI API keys on Vercel
+- **Comprehensive Patterns**: eve tools, approval gating, thread context, and Slack delivery patterns
+- **Testing Framework**: Vitest configuration and sample tests
+
+## Installation
+
+### Via skills.sh (Recommended)
+
+npx skills add vercel-labs/slack-agent-skill
+
+### Manual Installation
+
+Clone the repository into your skills directory. For example, with Claude Code:
+
+git clone https://github.com/vercel-labs/slack-agent-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/slack-agent-skill
+
+## Usage
+
+### Starting a New Project
+
+Run the slash command:
+
+```
+/slack-agent
+
+Or with arguments:
+/slack-agent new       # Start fresh project (scaffolds with eve)
+/slack-agent configure # Configure existing project (auto-detects eve)
+/slack-agent deploy    # Deploy to production
+/slack-agent test      # Set up testing
+```
+
+The wizard will guide you through:
+1. Project setup with custom implementation plan generation and approval
+2. Slack connector creation with Vercel Connect
+3. Environment configuration
+4. Local agent testing with the eve dev TUI
+5. Production deployment to Vercel
+6. Test framework setup
+
+Note: Slack events route through Vercel Connect to your deployed project, so the Slack surface itself is tested after deploy — no ngrok tunnel needed. Everything else (tools, instructions, conversations) is tested locally in the `eve dev` TUI.
+
+### Development
+
+When working on an existing Slack agent project, the skill detects eve from `package.json`:
+- **`"eve"` in dependencies** — Uses eve patterns (tools in `agent/tools/`, Slack channel in `agent/channels/slack.ts`)
+
+The skill then provides:
+- Code quality standards (linting, testing, TypeScript)
+- eve-specific patterns (tools, skills, channels, hooks, approval gating)
+- AI integration guidance (Vercel AI Gateway)
+- Deployment best practices
+
+## Key Commands
+
+```bash
+# Setup
+npx eve@latest init my-agent          # Scaffold a new eve project (Node 24+)
+vercel connect create slack --triggers # Create the Slack connector
+vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+
+# Development
+eve dev               # Local dev server + terminal TUI
+
+# Quality
+pnpm lint             # Check linting
+pnpm lint --write     # Auto-fix lint issues
+pnpm typecheck        # TypeScript check
+pnpm test             # Run tests
+
+# Deployment
+eve deploy            # Production deployment (wraps vercel deploy --prod)
+```
+
+## Quality Standards
+
+The skill enforces these requirements:
+
+- **Unit tests** for all exported functions
+- **E2E tests** for user-facing changes
+- **Linting** must pass (Biome)
+- **TypeScript** must compile without errors
+- **All tests** must pass before completion

+# Slack Development Patterns
+
+This document covers Slack-specific patterns and best practices for building agents with eve and Vercel Connect. The Slack channel lets your agent respond to @mentions and DMs, reply in threads, show typing indicators, and render human-in-the-loop prompts as native Slack buttons — with credentials brokered by Vercel Connect instead of long-lived tokens.
+
+> **Note:** The Slack surface cannot be tested locally. Events route through Vercel Connect to your deployed project. Use the local TUI (`npx eve dev`) to test agent behavior, then deploy with `eve deploy` to test the Slack surface end to end.
+
+## Channel Setup
+
+The Slack channel is a single file in `agent/channels/`. The filename registers the channel — `slack.ts` registers the `slack` channel, served at `/eve/v1/slack`.
+
+```typescript
+// agent/channels/slack.ts
+import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
+import { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"),
+});
+```
+
+`connectSlackCredentials` returns `{ botToken, webhookVerifier }`:
+
+- **`botToken`** — resolved fresh through Vercel Connect on each Slack API request. Short-lived, auto-rotated, scoped by the connector's bot scopes. No `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` to store or leak.
+- **`webhookVerifier`** — confirms each forwarded event genuinely came from Connect (Connect verifies the event with Slack, then forwards it to your deployment). No `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`, no signature/timestamp checks in your code.
+
+The connector's trigger must point at eve's Slack route:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect create slack --triggers
+vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+```
+
+`--triggers` enables Slack Event Subscriptions — without it, `app_mention` and `message.im` events never arrive.
+
+---
+
+## Inbound Dispatch
+
+The channel exposes three dispatch hooks that decide whether an incoming Slack event starts (or continues) a session. Each hook returns:
+
+- `{ auth }` — dispatch to the agent
+- `null` — drop the event silently
+- `{ auth, context }` — dispatch, injecting extra background context for the model
+
+```typescript
+// agent/channels/slack.ts
+import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
+import { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"),
+
+  // app_mention events. Default behavior: derive workspace-scoped auth
+  // and post a "Thinking…" indicator.
+  async onAppMention(ctx, message) {
+    // Example: only respond in a specific channel
+    if (message.channelId !== "C0123456789") return null;
+    return { auth: { workspaceId: message.teamId } };
+  },
+
+  // message.im events (requires the im:history bot scope).
+  // Bot messages and message edits are filtered before this hook runs.
+  async onDirectMessage(ctx, message) {
+    return {
+      auth: { workspaceId: message.teamId },
+      context: "This is a private DM conversation. Be concise.",
+    };
+  },
+
+  // block_actions not consumed by human-in-the-loop prompts.
+  async onInteraction(action, ctx) {
+    return { auth: { workspaceId: action.teamId } };
+  },
+});
+```
+
+**Speaker attribution:** the triggering Slack user's ID is attached to the model message automatically, so in multi-user threads the model knows who said what. You don't need to prepend usernames yourself.
+
+---
+
+## Custom Event Handlers
+
+Beyond dispatch, the channel accepts an `events` map for reacting to runtime stream events. Each handler receives `(eventData, channel, ctx)`, where `channel` provides `channel.thread` (post, mention helpers) and `channel.slack` (API handle).
+
+```typescript
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"),
+  events: {
+    "message.completed"(eventData, channel, ctx) {
+      // Skip intermediate turns that ended in tool calls
+      if (eventData.finishReason === "tool-calls") return;
+      if (eventData.message) channel.thread.post(eventData.message);
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Useful stream events include `session.started`, `actions.requested`, `action.result`, `message.completed`, and `session.completed`. Rich tool outputs are a good fit here: give a tool a `toModelOutput` projection so the model sees a compact summary, while your event handler receives the full output on `action.result` and renders it in Slack.
+
+---
+
+## Thread Context
+
+By default the agent sees only the triggering message. Enable `threadContext` to load prior thread messages into the session:
+
+```typescript
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"),
+  threadContext: { since: "last-agent-reply" },
+});
+```
+
+`since` options:
+
+| Value | Behavior |
+|-------|----------|
+| `"thread-root"` | All prior messages in the thread (default when `threadContext` is enabled) |
+| `"last-agent-reply"` | Only messages since the agent last replied (incremental) |
+| `(message: SlackThreadMessage) => boolean` | Custom cutoff — includes the messages **after the last one the predicate matches** |
+
+**Caveats:**
+
+- Costs one `conversations.replies` API call per triggering reply.
+- Requires the matching history scope on the connector (`channels:history`, `groups:history`, or `im:history` depending on where the thread lives).
+- For custom filtering beyond a predicate, use `loadThreadContextMessages` directly.
+
+---
+
+## Typing Indicators & Delivery
+
+The channel manages the delivery lifecycle automatically — no refresh loops or manual acks:
+
+1. **"Thinking…"** posts as soon as an inbound event dispatches.
+2. **"Working…"** replaces it on `turn.started`.
+3. **Reasoning snippets** stream in on `reasoning.appended`, so users see what the agent is doing.
+4. **Action labels** show on `actions.requested` when the agent calls tools.
+
+If the model narrates before a tool call ("Let me check the weather…"), that narration takes precedence over the generic action label.
+
+**Batching:** reasoning deltas shorter than 4 characters batch on a five-second refresh, avoiding a Slack API request per token.
+
+---
+
+## Mentions
+
+Use Slack's mention syntax or the thread helper — a bare `@name` stays literal text:
+
+```typescript
+// In an event handler
+channel.thread.post(`<@${userId}> your report is ready.`);
+
+// Or with the helper
+channel.thread.post(`${channel.thread.mentionUser(userId)} your report is ready.`);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Human-in-the-Loop
+
+When the agent needs approval or input (e.g. a tool gated with `approval` from `eve/tools/approval`), the prompt renders as Slack buttons or select menus in the thread. The user's response resumes the parked session durably — the session survives redeploys and cold starts while waiting.
+
+**Sign-in challenges** (OAuth URLs, device codes from Connect-brokered connections) are sent **ephemerally** to the triggering user — never posted publicly. A public status message posts in-thread and updates when `authorization.completed` fires.
+
+HITL handler context deliberately offers a narrow surface:
+
+- `postEphemeral` — message visible only to the triggering user
+- `postDirectMessage` — DM the user (requires the `im:write` bot scope)
+- `state` — carry data across the park/resume boundary
+
+There is **no public `post` and no raw API access** in HITL handlers — this keeps approval flows from accidentally leaking prompts or secrets into channels.
+
+---
+
+## Raw Slack API Access
+
+For anything the channel doesn't cover (reactions, pins, custom messages):
+
+**Inside channel handlers** — use the context handle:
+
+```typescript
+events: {
+  async "session.completed"(eventData, channel, ctx) {
+    await ctx.slack.request("reactions.add", {
+      channel: eventData.channelId,
+      timestamp: eventData.messageTs,
+      name: "white_check_mark",
+    });
+  },
+},
+```
+
+**Outside handlers** (schedules, tools, hooks) — resolve a token and call the API directly:
+
+```typescript
+import { callSlackApi, resolveSlackBotToken } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+const botToken = await resolveSlackBotToken(credentials);
+await callSlackApi({
+  botToken,
+  operation: "chat.postMessage",
+  body: { channel: "C0123456789", text: "Scheduled report is ready." },
+});
+```
+
+**Form encoding:** `callSlackApi` form-encodes request bodies. Slack's JSON support is partial across its API surface, so form encoding is the safe default — don't hand-roll JSON `fetch` calls against Slack methods that don't accept them.
+
+---
+
+## Proactive Sessions
+
+Schedules (and other non-Slack triggers) can start a session that delivers into Slack via `receive`:
+
+```typescript
+// inside a schedule's run (see https://eve.dev/docs/schedules for schedule definitions)
+import slack from "../channels/slack";
+
+await receive(slack, {
+  message: "Generate the daily metrics report and summarize anything unusual.",
+  target: { channelId: "C0123456789" },
+  auth: { workspaceId },
+});
+```
+
+- Without a `threadTs`, the session gets a **temporary continuation token**; the agent's first post anchors a new thread, and follow-ups in that thread continue the session.
+- `initialMessage` (optionally a `Card`) lets you post an opener before the agent's output.
+- **`initialMessage` and `threadTs` are mutually exclusive** — either open a new thread with an opener, or join an existing thread, not both.
+
+---
+
+## Message Formatting (mrkdwn)
+
+Slack uses its own markdown variant called mrkdwn.
+
+### Text Formatting
+```
+*bold text*
+_italic text_
+~strikethrough~
+`inline code`
+```code block```
+> blockquote
+```
+
+### Links and Mentions
+```
+<https://example.com|Link Text>
+<@U12345678>              # User mention
+<#C12345678>              # Channel link
+<!here>                   # @here mention
+<!channel>                # @channel mention
+<!date^1234567890^{date_short}|fallback>  # Date formatting
+```
+
+### Lists
+```
+Slack doesn't support markdown lists, use:
+* Bullet point (use the actual bullet character)
+1. Numbered manually
+```
+
+---
+
+## Webhook Delivery & Verification
+
+Slack never calls your deployment directly. The flow is:
+
+1. Slack delivers events to Vercel Connect's intake URL.
+2. Connect verifies the event with Slack (signature, timestamp).
+3. Connect POSTs the event to your registered trigger path (`/eve/v1/slack`).
+4. The channel's `webhookVerifier` confirms each forwarded request genuinely came from Connect before it reaches your handlers.
+
+Consequences:
+
+- **No signature checks in your code.** Don't set `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` — omitting it entirely avoids mixing verification modes.
+- **HTTP-only forwarding** — no Socket Mode.
+- **Deployments only** — Connect forwards to preview/production deployments, never localhost.
+
+### Idempotent Handlers
+
+Connect provides **no delivery de-duplication** — the same Slack event can arrive more than once. Combined with eve's durability model (a step interrupted mid-execution re-runs on resume), side-effecting handlers must be idempotent. A simple pattern is tracking processed event IDs:
+
+```typescript
+async onAppMention(ctx, message) {
+  const seen = await markEventProcessed(message.eventId); // e.g. INSERT ... ON CONFLICT
+  if (!seen.isNew) return null; // duplicate delivery — drop
+  return { auth: { workspaceId: message.teamId } };
+},
+```
+
+### Content Type Reference
+
+| Event Type | Content-Type | Handled Automatically |
+|------------|--------------|----------------------|
+| Slash commands | `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` | Yes |
+| Events API | `application/json` | Yes |
+| Interactivity | `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` (JSON in the `payload` field) | Yes |
+| URL verification | `application/json` | Yes |
+
+---
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Map Slack API error codes to user-friendly messages instead of surfacing raw errors:
+
+```typescript
+events: {
+  async "session.completed"(eventData, channel, ctx) {
+    try {
+      await ctx.slack.request("chat.postMessage", {
+        channel: targetChannelId,
+        text: summary,
+      });
+    } catch (error) {
+      console.error("Slack post failed:", error);
+      let userMessage = "Something went wrong. Please try again.";
+      if (error instanceof Error) {
+        if (error.message.includes("channel_not_found")) {
+          userMessage = "I don't have access to that channel.";
+        } else if (error.message.includes("not_in_channel")) {
+          userMessage = "Please invite me to the channel first.";
+        }
+      }
+      channel.thread.post(userMessage);
+    }
+  },
+},
+```
+
+Common Slack error codes:
+
+| Code | Meaning | Fix |
+|------|---------|-----|
+| `channel_not_found` | Bot can't see the channel | Check the channel ID; private channels need an invite |
+| `not_in_channel` | Bot isn't a member | Invite the bot to the channel |
+| `rate_limited` | Too many API calls | Back off and retry after the `Retry-After` interval |
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+- **No reply to @mentions** — invite the bot to the channel and confirm the deployment finished. Remember: the Slack surface only works against a deployment, not `eve dev`.
+- **Stuck on "Working…"** — inspect logs with `npx eve dev --logs all`, or `/loglevel all` in the TUI.
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices Summary
+
+1. **Handle errors gracefully** with user-friendly messages
+2. **Use ephemeral messages** for sensitive or temporary information (sign-in challenges already are)
+3. **Log errors** with context for debugging
+4. **Use threads** to keep channels clean — the channel replies in-thread by default
+5. **Respect rate limits** — back off on `rate_limited` and let the channel's built-in batching handle streaming updates
+6. **Keep handlers idempotent** — Connect does not de-duplicate deliveries, and interrupted steps re-run
+7. **Request minimum bot scopes** on the connector; add `im:history` for DMs and `im:write` for HITL direct messages only if you use them
+8. **Never store Slack tokens** — `SLACK_CONNECTOR` is the only Slack env var; Connect issues short-lived tokens at runtime
+9. **Return `null` from dispatch hooks** to drop unwanted events instead of dispatching and ignoring
+10. **Use `toModelOutput`** to keep bulky tool outputs out of model context while still rendering them richly in Slack

+Template files: `./templates/eve/`
+
+---
+
+## Unit Testing Tools
+
+eve tools are default exports from `defineTool` with an `execute(input, ctx)` signature. Test them by importing the tool and calling `execute` directly with a mock `ctx`.
+
+### Mocking the Tool Context
+
+`ctx` only needs the fields your tool actually uses. Keep the mock minimal — `session`, `callId`, and `abortSignal` cover most tools:
+
+```typescript
+// agent/__tests__/helpers/mock-context.ts
+import { vi } from 'vitest';
+
+export function createMockToolContext(overrides = {}) {
+  return {
+    session: {
+      metadata: {},
+      turn: 1,
+      auth: {},
+    },
+    callId: 'call_test_123',
+    abortSignal: new AbortController().signal,
+    ...overrides,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+Add other `ctx` fields (e.g. `toolName`, `getSandbox`, `getSkill`) via `overrides` only when a tool depends on them.
+
+### Testing a Tool Definition
+
+```typescript
+// agent/tools/get_weather.test.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
+import getWeather from './get_weather';
+import { createMockToolContext } from '../__tests__/helpers/mock-context';
+
+describe('get_weather', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    vi.clearAllMocks();
+  });
+
+  it('should return weather for a city', async () => {
+    const ctx = createMockToolContext();
+
+    const result = await getWeather.execute({ city: 'Brooklyn' }, ctx);
+
+    expect(result.city).toBe('Brooklyn');
+    expect(result.temperatureF).toBeTypeOf('number');
+  });
+
+  it('should reject invalid input via the schema', () => {
+    // Zod inputSchema validation — no execute call needed
+    const parsed = getWeather.inputSchema.safeParse({ city: '' });
+
+    expect(parsed.success).toBe(false);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Testing Error Paths
+
+Every tool test suite should cover the failure modes: upstream API errors, empty results, and invalid input. Return structured errors from `execute` rather than throwing, so the model can recover.
+
+```typescript
+// agent/tools/get_channel_messages.test.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
+import { callSlackApi } from 'eve/channels/slack';
+import getChannelMessages from './get_channel_messages';
+import { createMockToolContext } from '../__tests__/helpers/mock-context';
+
+// Mock at the module boundary — never reach into eve internals
+vi.mock('eve/channels/slack', () => ({
+  callSlackApi: vi.fn(),
+  resolveSlackBotToken: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue('xoxb-test-token'),
+}));
+
+describe('get_channel_messages', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    vi.clearAllMocks();
+  });
+
+  it('should fetch messages from channel', async () => {
+    vi.mocked(callSlackApi).mockResolvedValue({
+      ok: true,
+      messages: [
+        { text: 'Hello', user: 'U123', ts: '123.001' },
+        { text: 'World', user: 'U456', ts: '123.002' },
+      ],
+      has_more: false,
+    });
+
+    const result = await getChannelMessages.execute(
+      { channel_id: 'C12345678', limit: 10 },
+      createMockToolContext()
+    );
+
+    expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+    expect(result.messages).toHaveLength(2);
+    expect(result.messages[0].text).toBe('Hello');
+  });
+
+  it('should handle empty channel', async () => {
+    vi.mocked(callSlackApi).mockResolvedValue({
+      ok: true,
+      messages: [],
+      has_more: false,
+    });
+
+    const result = await getChannelMessages.execute(
+      { channel_id: 'C_EMPTY', limit: 10 },
+      createMockToolContext()
+    );
+
+    expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+    expect(result.messages).toHaveLength(0);
+  });
+
+  it('should handle API errors gracefully', async () => {
+    vi.mocked(callSlackApi).mockRejectedValue(
+      new Error('channel_not_found')
+    );
+
+    const result = await getChannelMessages.execute(
+      { channel_id: 'C_INVALID', limit: 10 },
+      createMockToolContext()
+    );
+
+    expect(result.success).toBe(false);
+    expect(result.error).toContain('channel_not_found');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Testing Tools That Use Vercel Connect Tokens
+
+Tools that call third-party APIs get short-lived tokens via Vercel Connect. Mock `@vercel/connect` at the module boundary so no real token requests happen in tests:
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
+import { getToken } from '@vercel/connect';
+import createIssue from './create_issue';
+import { createMockToolContext } from '../__tests__/helpers/mock-context';
+
+vi.mock('@vercel/connect', () => ({
+  getToken: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue('test-connect-token'),
+}));
+
+describe('create_issue', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    vi.clearAllMocks();
+  });
+
+  it('should request a token and call the API', async () => {
+    const result = await createIssue.execute(
+      { title: 'Bug report' },
+      createMockToolContext()
+    );
+
+    expect(getToken).toHaveBeenCalled();
+    expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+  });
+
+  it('should surface token failures as tool errors', async () => {
+    vi.mocked(getToken).mockRejectedValueOnce(new Error('unauthorized'));
+
+    const result = await createIssue.execute(
+      { title: 'Bug report' },
+      createMockToolContext()
+    );
+
+    expect(result.success).toBe(false);
+    expect(result.error).toContain('unauthorized');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing the Slack Channel
+
+The channel adapter (`agent/channels/slack.ts`) is a config object produced by `slackChannel(...)`. Mock `eve/channels/slack` and `@vercel/connect/eve` so the test never resolves real credentials, then assert on the config and exercise any custom event handlers.
+
+### Channel Configuration
+
+```typescript
+// agent/channels/slack.test.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
+import { connectSlackCredentials } from '@vercel/connect/eve';
+
+vi.mock('eve/channels/slack', () => ({
+  slackChannel: vi.fn((config) => config),
+}));
+
+vi.mock('@vercel/connect/eve', () => ({
+  connectSlackCredentials: vi.fn(() => ({
+    botToken: 'xoxb-test-token',
+    webhookVerifier: vi.fn(),
+  })),
+}));
+
+describe('slack channel', () => {
+  it('should resolve credentials from SLACK_CONNECTOR', async () => {
+    const channel = (await import('./slack')).default;
+
+    expect(connectSlackCredentials).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
+      process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR
+    );
+    expect(channel.credentials).toBeDefined();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Custom Event Handlers
+
+Custom event handlers receive `(eventData, channel, ctx)` where `channel.thread` posts to the triggering Slack thread and `channel.slack.request` calls the raw Slack API. Mock that handle:
+
+```typescript
+// agent/__tests__/helpers/mock-channel.ts
+import { vi } from 'vitest';
+
+export function createMockChannelHandle(overrides = {}) {
+  return {
+    thread: {
+      post: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(undefined),
+      mentionUser: vi.fn((userId: string) => `<@${userId}>`),
+    },
+    slack: {
+      request: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ ok: true }),
+    },
+    ...overrides,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+```typescript
+// agent/channels/slack.test.ts (continued)
+import { createMockChannelHandle } from '../__tests__/helpers/mock-channel';
+
+describe('message.completed handler', () => {
+  it('should post the completed message to the thread', async () => {
+    const channel = (await import('./slack')).default;
+    const handle = createMockChannelHandle();
+
+    channel.events['message.completed'](
+      { finishReason: 'stop', message: 'All done!' },
+      handle,
+      {}
+    );
+
+    expect(handle.thread.post).toHaveBeenCalledWith('All done!');
+  });
+
+  it('should skip intermediate tool-call turns', async () => {
+    const channel = (await import('./slack')).default;
+    const handle = createMockChannelHandle();
+
+    channel.events['message.completed'](
+      { finishReason: 'tool-calls', message: 'thinking...' },
+      handle,
+      {}
+    );
+
+    expect(handle.thread.post).not.toHaveBeenCalled();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Agent Configuration
+
+`agent/agent.ts` is a small config file, but a smoke test catches accidental model or option regressions:
+
+```typescript
+// agent/agent.test.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
+
+vi.mock('eve', () => ({
+  defineAgent: vi.fn((config) => config),
+}));
+
+describe('agent config', () => {
+  it('should use the default gateway model', async () => {
+    const agent = (await import('./agent')).default;
+
+    expect(agent.model).toBe('anthropic/claude-sonnet-5');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## E2E Testing Patterns
+
+Unit tests cover tools and handlers in isolation. For end-to-end verification, use eve's HTTP API against a running dev server (`npx eve dev --no-ui`) — no mocks:
+
+```bash
+# Create a session and assert on the reply
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:2000/eve/v1/session \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"message":"What is the weather in Brooklyn?"}'
+
+# Stream events (NDJSON): session.started → actions.requested →
+# action.result → message.completed → session.completed
+curl http://127.0.0.1:2000/eve/v1/session/<sessionId>/stream
+```
+
+Note: the Slack surface itself cannot be exercised locally — Slack events route through Vercel Connect to the deployed project. Test the Slack path against a preview or production deployment (`eve dev https://your-app.vercel.app` for an interactive smoke test); everything else works locally.
+
+### Multi-Turn Tool Flow (unit level)
+
+```typescript
+describe('E2E: tool flow', () => {
+  it('should handle sequential tool calls in a session', async () => {
+    const ctx = createMockToolContext({
+      session: { metadata: {}, turn: 1, auth: {} },
+    });
+
+    const first = await getWeather.execute({ city: 'Brooklyn' }, ctx);
+    expect(first.city).toBe('Brooklyn');
+
+    const followUpCtx = createMockToolContext({
+      session: { metadata: {}, turn: 2, auth: {} },
+    });
+
+    const second = await getWeather.execute({ city: 'Queens' }, followUpCtx);
+    expect(second.city).toBe('Queens');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## Mock Helpers
+
+Keep all shared mocks in `agent/__tests__/helpers/` and mock at eve's module boundaries (`eve`, `eve/tools`, `eve/channels/slack`, `@vercel/connect`, `@vercel/connect/eve`) — never reach into framework internals.
+
+```typescript
+// agent/__tests__/setup.ts (excerpt — see templates/eve/test-setup.ts)
+import { vi } from 'vitest';
+
+// Only Slack env var needed — Vercel Connect brokers credentials
+vi.stubEnv('SLACK_CONNECTOR', 'slack/test-agent');
+vi.stubEnv('AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY', 'test-ai-gateway-key');
+
+vi.mock('eve/tools', () => ({
+  defineTool: vi.fn((config) => config),
+}));
+
+vi.mock('eve/channels/slack', () => ({
+  slackChannel: vi.fn((config) => config),
+  callSlackApi: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ ok: true }),
+  resolveSlackBotToken: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue('xoxb-test-token'),
+}));
+
+vi.mock('@vercel/connect', () => ({
+  getToken: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue('test-connect-token'),
+}));
+
+vi.mock('@vercel/connect/eve', () => ({
+  connectSlackCredentials: vi.fn(() => ({
+    botToken: 'xoxb-test-token',
+    webhookVerifier: vi.fn(),
+  })),
+  connect: vi.fn((connector) => ({ connector })),
+}));
+```
+
+Mocking `defineTool` as an identity function means importing a tool file in a test returns its config object directly — `description`, `inputSchema`, and `execute` are all inspectable.
+

+| Category | Target |
+|----------|--------|
+| Tools | 90%+ |
+| Agent logic | 85%+ |
+| Channel event handlers | 80%+ |
+| Utilities | 90%+ |
+| Overall | 80%+ |
+
+Run coverage report:

+# Agent Archetypes Reference
+
+This document provides common patterns and archetypes for Slack agents built with eve. Use this as a reference when generating custom implementation plans based on user requirements.
+
+## Implementation Plan Template
+
+When generating a plan, use this structure:
+
+```markdown
+## Implementation Plan: [Agent Name]
+
+### Overview
+[1-2 sentence description of what this agent does]
+
+### Core Features
+1. **[Feature 1]** - [Description]
+2. **[Feature 2]** - [Description]
+3. **[Feature 3]** - [Description]
+
+### Interactions (@mentions and DMs)
+eve's Slack channel is mention/DM-driven — there are no slash commands.
+Users talk to the agent in natural language; the model routes to tools.
+
+| Phrasing | What it does | Example |
+|----------|--------------|---------|
+| `@agent [request]` | What happens | `@agent do the thing for X` |
+
+### Dispatch Hooks & Events
+Configured on the Slack channel in `agent/channels/slack.ts`:
+
+- [ ] `onAppMention(ctx, message)` - [What happens when @mentioned; default derives workspace-scoped auth and posts "Thinking…"]
+- [ ] `onDirectMessage(ctx, message)` - [DM handling; needs `im:history` scope]
+- [ ] `onInteraction(action, ctx)` - [`block_actions` not consumed by HITL]
+- [ ] `threadContext` - [`"thread-root"`, `"last-agent-reply"`, or a predicate, if thread history matters]
+- [ ] Custom `events` handlers (e.g. `"message.completed"`) - [If delivery needs customizing]
+
+### AI Tools (if using AI)
+One file per tool in `agent/tools/` — the snake_case filename is the tool name.
+
+Tools **fetch data and perform actions**. Never plan a tool that wraps an LLM call (summarize, parse, classify, draft) — the agent is the language model and does that work itself, guided by `instructions.md` or a skill.
+
+| Tool | Purpose | Parameters |
+|------|---------|------------|
+| `tool_name` | What it does | `param1`, `param2` |
+
+### Connections (if external APIs)
+For third-party services (Linear, GitHub, Notion, ...), use Vercel Connect:
+- MCP servers: `defineMcpClientConnection` with `auth: connect("provider/my-agent")` from `@vercel/connect/eve`
+- Authored tools: `const auth = connect("provider/my-agent")` then `await ctx.getToken(auth)` inside `execute`
+
+| Connection | Provider | Scope |
+|------------|----------|-------|
+| `provider` | What it accesses | `user` (per-user consent) or `app` |
+
+### Schedules (if applicable)
+Proactive/cron behavior uses eve schedules, which start sessions with
+`receive(slack, { message, target: { channelId }, auth })`.
+
+| Schedule | Action |
+|----------|--------|
+| `0 9 * * 1-5` | Description |
+
+### Durability & State
+- [ ] Stateless (simple request/response)
+- [ ] Durable sessions (default) - eve persists every session via the Workflow SDK; multi-turn context, tool results, and parked HITL/auth prompts survive restarts with no extra config. No Redis required.
+- [ ] Database (persistent storage, beyond session lifetime)
+  - Upstash Redis for caching or cross-session lookups
+  - Vercel Blob for file/document storage
+  - AWS Aurora via Vercel Marketplace for relational data
+  - NOTE: Do NOT recommend Vercel KV (deprecated)
+
+### Delivery
+eve's Slack channel handles rendering — no custom Block Kit:
+- [ ] Typing lifecycle - "Thinking…" on inbound, "Working…" on `turn.started`, reasoning snippets and action labels as the turn progresses (automatic)
+- [ ] mrkdwn text replies - Default message delivery in-thread
+- [ ] HITL buttons - Approval-gated tools (`approval` from `eve/tools/approval`) render as Slack buttons/selects; responses resume the parked session
+- [ ] `toModelOutput` - Show the model a compact projection while channels receive the full tool output for rich rendering
+
+### Files to Create/Modify
+- `agent/instructions.md` - Always-on system prompt
+- `agent/agent.ts` - Runtime config (`defineAgent`)
+- `agent/channels/slack.ts` - Slack channel + dispatch hooks
+- `agent/tools/[tool_name].ts` - AI tool definitions (`defineTool`)
+- `agent/skills/[skill].md` - Load-on-demand instructions (if applicable)
+- `agent/connections/[provider].ts` - Vercel Connect connections (if applicable)
+- `agent/hooks/` - Runtime stream event subscribers (if applicable)
+- Schedule definitions - Proactive/cron sessions (if applicable)

+
+### Hybrid Agents
+
+Many real-world agents combine multiple archetypes. For example:
+- **Support + Conversational** - AI-powered support with multi-turn dialogue
+- **Automation + Alerting** - Deploy bot that also sends deployment notifications
+- **Information + Conversational** - Weather bot with natural language queries
+
+When users describe hybrid needs, combine relevant features from multiple archetypes.

+
+## Implementation Complexity Guide
+
+When generating plans, indicate complexity to set expectations:
+
+| Complexity | Characteristics | Example |
+|------------|-----------------|---------|
+| **Simple** | 1-3 tools, no database, no schedules | Weather lookup |
+| **Medium** | Multiple tools, Vercel Connect connection, HITL approvals | Ticket system |
+| **Complex** | Multi-turn workflows, database, schedules, proactive sessions | Full standup bot |
+
+Include a complexity indicator in your generated plans to help users understand scope.

+# Environment Variables Reference
+
+Complete reference for all environment variables used in eve Slack agent projects.
+
+With eve + Vercel Connect, the variable surface is deliberately small: there is **no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` and no `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`**. Slack credentials are brokered at runtime by Vercel Connect — your code requests short-lived, scoped tokens instead of storing long-lived secrets, and the channel's `webhookVerifier` confirms forwarded events came from Connect instead of checking Slack's signing secret.
+
+## Required Variables
+
+### SLACK_CONNECTOR
+
+**Description:** The UID of your Vercel Connect Slack connector. This is the only Slack-related environment variable. `connectSlackCredentials` uses it to resolve short-lived bot tokens at runtime and to verify forwarded Slack events.
+
+**Source:**
+1. Create the connector: `vercel connect create slack --triggers`
+2. The UID is shown in the output (also visible via `vercel connect list` or the dashboard Connect page)
+
+**Format:** `slack/<connector-name>` (e.g., `slack/my-agent`) or a connector ID like `scl_abc123`
+
+**Usage:**
+```typescript
+// agent/channels/slack.ts
+import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
+import { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(
+    process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"
+  ),
+});
+```
+
+**Notes:**
+- Not a secret — it identifies the connector; access is governed by the connector-project link and the deployment's OIDC token
+- The connector must be **attached to your project and environment** (`vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack`)
+- If you deployed via the eve Slack starter's Deploy button, the connector was provisioned and `SLACK_CONNECTOR` was set automatically
+- Use a separate connector per environment (see Security Best Practices)
+
+---
+
+### VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN (local development only)
+
+**Description:** Short-lived OIDC token that authenticates your local process to Vercel services — the AI Gateway and Vercel Connect both accept it. On Vercel deployments this token is injected automatically; you never set it there.
+
+**Source:**
+```bash
+vercel link       # once, to link the directory to your Vercel project
+vercel env pull   # writes VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN into .env.local
+```
+
+**Format:** JWT string
+
+**Notes:**
+- Expires after **~12 hours** — re-run `vercel env pull` when local AI or Connect calls start failing with auth errors
+- Never set this manually or copy it between machines; always pull a fresh one
+
+---
+
+## AI Integration
+
+You have two options for AI/LLM credentials. eve routes string model IDs (e.g., `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`) through the Vercel AI Gateway by default.
+
+### Option 1: Vercel AI Gateway with project OIDC (recommended)
+
+When deployed on Vercel, the AI Gateway authenticates with the project's OIDC token automatically. **No API keys needed.**
+
+**For local development:** link the project and pull the OIDC token:
+
+```bash
+vercel link
+vercel env pull   # fetches VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN into .env.local (~12h expiry)
+```
+
+```typescript
+// agent/agent.ts
+import { defineAgent } from "eve";
+
+export default defineAgent({
+  model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5", // routes through AI Gateway — no API key
+});
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Zero API-key management
+- Access to multiple providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) through one interface
+- Built-in rate limiting and observability
+- Works automatically on Vercel deployments
+
+---
+
+### Option 2: AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY
+
+**Description:** API key for the Vercel AI Gateway. Use this instead of OIDC when running outside Vercel (external CI, other hosts) or if you prefer a long-lived credential locally.
+
+**Source:** Vercel dashboard > AI Gateway > API Keys
+
+**Usage:** Same code as Option 1 — the gateway picks up `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` from the environment. String model IDs in `defineAgent` keep working unchanged.
+
+---
+
+## Route Auth Secrets
+
+eve exposes a stable HTTP API (`/eve/v1/...`) on every deployment. The scaffolded `placeholderAuth()` fails closed in production — you must replace it with a real auth strategy, and each strategy has its own secret material.
+
+### ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD
+
+**Description:** Password for the `httpBasic()` route-auth strategy — the simplest way to protect eve's HTTP API.
+
+**Source:** Generate a strong random value yourself, e.g.:
+```bash
+openssl rand -base64 32
+```
+
+**Security:**
+- Never commit to version control
+- Use a different password per environment
+- Rotate if compromised
+
+### JWT / OIDC key material
+
+**Description:** If you protect eve's HTTP API with `jwtHmac()`, `jwtEcdsa()`, `oidc()`, or a custom `AuthFn` instead of basic auth, store the corresponding secret (HMAC shared secret, ECDSA public key, or OIDC issuer configuration) as environment variables. `vercelOidc()` needs no extra secret — it verifies Vercel-issued OIDC tokens.
+
+**Security:** Same rules as any secret — never commit, per-environment values, rotate on exposure. Note that the Slack channel is not affected by route auth choice: forwarded Slack events are verified via Vercel OIDC by Connect's webhook verifier.
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Variables
+
+### VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET
+
+**Description:** Bypass secret for Vercel Deployment Protection. Needed when your **preview deployments are protected** and something outside the browser (e.g., `eve dev https://<preview-url>` from your machine, or external smoke tests) must reach the deployment.
+
+**Source:** Vercel dashboard > Project Settings > Deployment Protection > Protection Bypass for Automation
+
+**Usage:** Set it locally (e.g., in `.env.local`) when driving a protected preview deployment. Not needed for production if production is publicly reachable.
+
+---
+
+## Optional Variables
+
+### CRON_SECRET
+
+**Description:** Shared secret to authenticate Vercel Cron invocations of your own scheduled endpoints, so random visitors can't trigger cron routes. (eve's built-in schedules don't need this; it applies to any custom cron routes you add.)
+
+**Source:** Generate a strong random value and set it in Vercel; Vercel sends it as `Authorization: Bearer <CRON_SECRET>` on cron requests.
+
+---
+
+### NODE_ENV
+
+**Description:** Node.js environment indicator.
+
+**Values:**
+- `development` - Local development
+- `production` - Production deployment
+- `test` - Test environment
+
+**Default:** `development` locally, `production` on Vercel
+
+---
+
+### LOG_LEVEL
+
+**Description:** Controls logging verbosity.
+
+**Values:**
+- `debug` - All logs including debug info
+- `info` - Standard operational logs
+- `warn` - Warnings and errors only
+- `error` - Errors only
+
+**Default:** `info`
+
+---
+
+## Local Development Setup
+
+Create a `.env.local` file in your project root. Prefer `vercel env pull`, which writes it for you (including `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`), then add anything project-specific.
+
+> **Note:** Slack events can't be received locally — Connect forwards them to deployments only. Locally you develop against the eve TUI (`npx eve dev`); Slack is tested on preview/production deployments.
+
+### Option 1: AI Gateway with project OIDC (default)
+
+```env
+# Slack via Vercel Connect (no bot token or signing secret needed)
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+
+# Pulled by `vercel env pull` — expires after ~12 hours, re-pull when it does
+VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN=eyJ...
+
+# Route auth for eve's HTTP API (if using httpBasic())
+ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD=your-strong-password
+
+# Optional
+NODE_ENV=development
+LOG_LEVEL=debug
+
+# No AI keys needed - the AI Gateway authenticates via the OIDC token!
+```
+
+### Option 2: AI Gateway with an API key
+
+```env
+# Slack via Vercel Connect
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+
+# AI Gateway key (instead of OIDC)
+AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY=your-gateway-key
+
+# Route auth for eve's HTTP API
+ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD=your-strong-password
+
+# Optional
+NODE_ENV=development
+LOG_LEVEL=debug
+```
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+### 1. Never Commit Secrets
+
+Ensure `.gitignore` includes:
+```
+.env
+.env.local
+.env.*.local
+```
+
+### 2. Use Different Credentials Per Environment
+
+| Environment | Connector | Other secrets |
+|-------------|-----------|---------------|
+| Development | `slack/my-agent-dev` | Dev route-auth password |
+| Preview | `slack/my-agent-preview` | Preview route-auth password |
+| Production | `slack/my-agent` | Prod route-auth password |
+
+**One connector per environment.** Separate connectors give you separate grants, scopes, and audit trails, and prevent cross-environment token replay. Attach each with the matching `--environment` flag.
+
+### 3. Never Persist Tokens
+
+Connect exists so you don't store provider tokens. Request them at runtime — the SDK caches in-process and auto-refreshes near expiry, so per-request calls are fine. Never write a Connect-issued token to a database, log, env var, or file.
+
+### 4. Request Minimum Scopes
+
+Only grant the connector the bot scopes your agent needs, and request minimum scopes per token. Review scopes on the connector's Connect page.
+
+### 5. Rotate Compromised Credentials
+
+Connect-issued Slack tokens are short-lived, so exposure windows are small — but if other secrets leak:
+
+**Route-auth password / JWT secrets:** generate a new value, update the Vercel env var, redeploy.
+
+**Automation bypass secret:** regenerate it under Project Settings > Deployment Protection.
+
+### 6. Monitor Usage
+
+- Every Connect authorization and token request is recorded — review the audit log on the connector's page
+- Monitor Vercel function logs for errors
+- Set up alerts for anomalies
+
+## Vercel Environment Configuration
+
+### Setting Variables
+
+**Via Dashboard:**
+1. Project Settings > Environment Variables
+2. Add variable name and value
+3. Select environments (Production/Preview/Development)
+4. Save and redeploy
+
+**Via CLI:**
+```bash
+vercel env add VARIABLE_NAME production
+```
+
+### Environment Scopes
+
+| Scope | When Used |
+|-------|-----------|
+| Production | `vercel --prod` deployments |
+| Preview | Pull request deployments |
+| Development | `vercel env pull` / local development |
+
+### Sensitive vs Non-Sensitive
+
+Mark variables as **Sensitive** for:
+- API keys (`AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`)
+- Route-auth passwords and JWT secrets
+- `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET`, `CRON_SECRET`
+
+Sensitive variables:
+- Are encrypted at rest
+- Don't appear in logs
+- Can't be read via API
+
+`SLACK_CONNECTOR` is an identifier, not a secret — it doesn't need the sensitive flag.
+
+## Accessing Variables
+
+### In Server Code
+
+eve tools run in your app runtime with full `process.env` access:
+
+```typescript
+// Direct access
+const connector = process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR;
+
+// With validation
+function getRequiredEnv(name: string): string {
+  const value = process.env[name];
+  if (!value) {
+    throw new Error(`Missing required environment variable: ${name}`);
+  }
+  return value;
+}
+
+const connector = getRequiredEnv('SLACK_CONNECTOR');
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Variable Not Found
+
+**Symptoms:** `undefined` value, missing env error
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check variable name spelling (case-sensitive)
+2. Verify `.env.local` is in project root
+3. Restart the dev server after changes
+4. Redeploy after adding to Vercel
+
+### Connect / Gateway Auth Errors Locally
+
+**Symptoms:** authentication errors from the AI Gateway or `@vercel/connect` during local development that previously worked
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. The local `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN` expires after ~12 hours — re-run `vercel env pull`
+2. Verify the directory is linked to the right project (`vercel link`)
+3. If running outside Vercel entirely (external CI), use `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` for the gateway and pass a Vercel access token to the Connect SDK
+
+### Connector Not Working
+
+**Symptoms:** token requests fail in a deployment; Slack events never arrive
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Confirm the connector is **attached to this project and environment**: `vercel connect list`, or re-attach with `vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack`
+2. Connect verifies the deployment's project/environment against connector links — a connector attached only to production won't issue tokens to preview
+3. For missing events, confirm the connector was created with `--triggers` (without it, `app_mention` / `message.im` never arrive) and that the trigger path is `/eve/v1/slack`
+4. Remember trigger forwarding goes to deployments only — Slack can't be tested against localhost

+# Slack Setup Guide (Vercel Connect)
+
+Complete guide for connecting your eve agent to Slack using Vercel Connect.
+
+## How Slack Setup Works with Vercel Connect
+
+You do **not** create a Slack app at api.slack.com, paste a manifest, or copy bot tokens and signing secrets. Vercel Connect replaces that entire flow.
+
+**Vercel Connect** is a credential broker for agents and background services. Instead of storing long-lived provider secrets (bot tokens, API keys) in env vars, your code requests **short-lived, scoped tokens at runtime**. Every authorization and token request is recorded for auditing. For Slack, Connect is a **Vercel Managed Connector**: Vercel registers the Slack OAuth client, so you never handle client secrets at all.
+
+What this means in practice:
+
+- **No `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`**. The eve Slack channel fetches a fresh short-lived token from Connect on each Slack API request.
+- **No `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`**. Slack delivers events to Connect's intake URL; Connect verifies them with Slack, then forwards them to your deployment. The channel's `webhookVerifier` confirms each forwarded event came from Connect — no Slack signature checks in your code.
+- **One env var**: `SLACK_CONNECTOR`, set to your connector's UID (e.g. `slack/my-agent`).
+
+Core concepts:
+
+| Concept | Meaning |
+|---------|---------|
+| **Connector** | A team-reusable registered connection to a provider, identified by UID like `slack/my-agent` (or ID like `scl_abc123`) |
+| **Installation** | A provider-side install for a tenant — for Slack, a workspace the connector is installed into |
+| **Connector-project link** | Binds a connector to a project and its enabled environments |
+| **Token request** | A runtime request for a short-lived scoped token |
+
+> **Beta note:** Vercel Connect is in beta (available on all plans); behavior may change before GA.
+
+> **CLI reference:** commands and flags shown here may evolve — see the [`vercel connect` CLI docs](https://vercel.com/docs/cli/connect) for the latest reference.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Slack workspace where you have permission to install apps
+- The latest Vercel CLI: `npm install -g vercel@latest`
+- Your project linked to Vercel (`vercel link`)
+
+## Step 1: Create the Slack Connector
+
+Create the connector from the CLI (or from the Connect page in the Vercel dashboard):
+
+```bash
+vercel connect create slack --name my-agent --triggers
+```
+
+- `--name` sets the connector UID suffix — the full UID becomes `slack/my-agent`.
+- `--triggers` enables Slack Event Subscriptions through Connect. **Without it, events like `app_mention` and `message.im` never arrive.**
+
+The CLI sets up the connection automatically and opens your browser for the steps that need manual input: installing the connector into your Slack workspace and selecting its bot scopes and trigger events. (Branding is optional — `--icon`, `--background-color`, `--accent-color` on `create`, or `vercel connect update` later.)
+
+### Recommended Bot Scopes
+
+| Scope | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|
+| `chat:write` | Send messages as the bot |
+| `channels:read` | View basic channel info |
+| `channels:history` | Read messages in public channels (thread context) |
+| `groups:history` | Read messages in private channels (thread context, if invited) |
+| `im:history` | Read direct messages — required for the DM handler (`onDirectMessage`) |
+| `mpim:history` | Read group DM history (thread context) |
+| `reactions:write` | Add emoji reactions |
+| `users:read` | Look up user display names |
+
+Notes:
+
+- `im:history` is required for the bot to respond to DMs (eve's `onDirectMessage` dispatch hook handles `message.im`).
+- The `*:history` scopes are what let eve's `threadContext` option load prior thread messages — each surface (public channel, private channel, DM, group DM) needs its matching history scope.
+- `im:write` is additionally needed if HITL handlers use `postDirectMessage`.
+- Request the minimum scopes your agent actually needs; the connector's bot scopes bound what any runtime token can do.
+
+### Trigger Events
+
+Subscribe the connector to the events your agent handles:
+
+- `app_mention` — @mentions of the bot in channels
+- `message.im` — direct messages to the bot
+- `message.channels`, `message.groups`, `message.mpim` — channel/group messages, if your agent listens beyond mentions
+
+## Step 2: Attach the Connector to Your Project
+
+Attach the connector to your project. The default trigger path is `/slack`, and eve serves its Slack channel at **`/eve/v1/slack`**, so set the path explicitly:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect attach slack/my-agent --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+```
+
+- `--trigger-path /eve/v1/slack` — eve's canonical Slack route. Events forwarded anywhere else are dropped by your app.
+- `--trigger-branch` defaults to production; set it only if events should go to a different branch's deployments.
+- `--environment` (`-e`) restricts token access to specific environments (defaults to all).
+- A connector can forward triggers to up to three destination projects.
+- `vercel connect detach` removes token access but does **not** remove trigger destinations — manage those on the connector itself (`vercel connect open`).
+
+Verify with `vercel connect list` (alias `ls`). Other useful subcommands: `token`, `update`, `remove` (`rm`), `open`.
+
+### One Connector per Environment
+
+Use a separate connector for each environment (e.g. `slack/my-agent` for production, `slack/my-agent-dev` for previews). This keeps grants, scopes, and audit trails separate and prevents cross-environment token replay.
+
+## Step 3: Set the Environment Variable
+
+Set `SLACK_CONNECTOR` to the connector UID in your Vercel project (and `.env.local` for local work):
+
+```bash
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+```
+
+This is the **only** Slack-related env var. Do not set `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` — leaving them out avoids mixing verification modes.
+
+## Step 4: Wire the Channel in Your Agent
+
+Install the Connect SDK and register the Slack channel:
+
+```bash
+npm install @vercel/connect
+```
+
+```ts
+// agent/channels/slack.ts
+import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
+import { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+export default slackChannel({
+  credentials: connectSlackCredentials(
+    process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/my-agent"
+  ),
+});
+```
+
+The `slack.ts` filename registers the `slack` channel, served at `/eve/v1/slack`. `connectSlackCredentials` returns `{ botToken, webhookVerifier }`:
+
+- **`botToken`** is a resolver that fetches a fresh short-lived token via Connect on every Slack API request (subject pinned to the app, not a user).
+- **`webhookVerifier`** confirms each forwarded event genuinely came from Vercel Connect — this replaces Slack's signature/timestamp check in your code.
+
+In deployments, the Connect SDK authenticates using the OIDC token Vercel injects automatically (`VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`). For local dev, `vercel link` + `vercel env pull` fetches a short-lived dev token into `.env.local` (it expires after ~12 hours — re-pull when it does).
+
+## Step 5: Deploy and Invite the Bot
+
+Slack events forward to **deployments only, never localhost** — the Slack surface cannot be tested locally. Everything else (tools, skills, sessions) works in the local eve TUI.
+
+1. Deploy:
+   ```bash
+   eve deploy
+   ```
+   (`eve deploy` wraps `vercel deploy --prod`.)
+2. Invite the bot to a channel: `/invite @YourBotName`
+3. Mention it: `@YourBotName hello`
+
+## Installations and Workspaces
+
+Installing the connector into a Slack workspace creates an **installation**. Connect handles token rotation and multi-workspace tenancy for you. If a single connector spans multiple workspaces, pass an `installationId` when requesting tokens; with one workspace, no extra configuration is needed.
+
+You can inspect token issuance from the CLI:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect token slack/my-agent --subject app --scopes chat:write --format=json
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Events not arriving (no session starts on @mention)
+
+**Causes and fixes:**
+1. Connector created or attached without `--triggers` — Event Subscriptions are off. Re-attach with `--triggers`.
+2. Wrong trigger path — must be `/eve/v1/slack`. Check with `vercel connect list`, and re-attach with `--trigger-path /eve/v1/slack` if not.
+3. Wrong trigger branch — `--trigger-branch` defaults to production; if you deployed to a preview branch, events won't reach it unless the branch matches.
+4. Deployment not finished (or failed) — Connect forwards to deployments only. Confirm the latest deploy succeeded.
+5. Missing trigger events — verify the connector is subscribed to `app_mention` (and `message.im` for DMs).
+
+### Bot doesn't reply in a channel
+
+**Cause:** The bot isn't a member of the channel.
+
+**Fix:** Invite it with `/invite @YourBotName`, then @mention it again. Also confirm the deployment finished.
+
+### Stuck on "Working…"
+
+**Cause:** The session started but something failed mid-turn (tool error, model auth, etc.).
+
+**Fix:** Inspect logs with `npx eve dev --logs all` (or `/loglevel all` in the TUI) against the deployed app to see the failing step.
+
+### Duplicate replies
+
+**Cause:** Connect's trigger forwarding has no built-in delivery de-duplication, so an event may occasionally be delivered more than once.
+
+**Fix:** Make handlers idempotent — e.g. track processed Slack event IDs and skip repeats.
+
+### Trying to test Slack locally
+
+Forwarding goes to deployments only — pointing anything at `localhost` will not work, and there is no ngrok step. Test the Slack surface against a preview or production deployment; use the local TUI for everything else.
+
+### "channel_not_found" when joining channels
+
+**Cause:** Bot can't access private channels.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. The bot can only join public channels on its own
+2. For private channels, a user must invite the bot
+3. Check the channel ID is correct
+
+### Rate limiting
+
+**Cause:** Too many Slack API requests.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Implement exponential backoff
+2. Cache responses where appropriate
+3. Batch operations when possible
+
+## Next Steps
+
+After setup:
+1. Deploy with `eve deploy`
+2. Add the bot to a channel: `/invite @YourBotName`
+3. Mention the bot: `@YourBotName hello`
+4. Watch it think ("Thinking…" / "Working…") and reply in-thread

+# Vercel Deployment Guide
+
+Complete guide for deploying your eve Slack agent to Vercel.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A Vercel account (https://vercel.com)
+- Your project pushed to a Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket) — or the Vercel CLI installed for direct deploys
+- A Slack connector created with Vercel Connect (see the Slack setup reference)
+
+## How eve Builds on Vercel
+
+eve deploys to Vercel as a first-class framework:
+
+- `eve build` compiles the agent into `.eve/`. When the `VERCEL` env var is set (as it is on Vercel builds), it also emits `.vercel/output` (Vercel Build Output).
+- On Vercel, the Workflow SDK runs on **Vercel Workflows** and the default sandbox backend selects **Vercel Sandbox**. Off Vercel, `eve start` serves the Nitro Node output with a local workflow world.
+
+**Sandbox prewarm:** Vercel builds prewarm sandbox templates (cache-keyed — build logs show `reused cached` or `built`). **If prewarm fails, the build fails.** Check the build logs for prewarm errors before debugging anything else.
+
+## Deployment Options
+
+### Option A: Deploy via CLI (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+npx eve deploy
+```
+
+This is equivalent to:
+
+```bash
+vercel deploy --prod
+```
+
+### Option B: Git-Connected Deploys
+
+1. Go to https://vercel.com/new
+2. Click **Import Git Repository** and select your repository
+3. Configure project settings:
+   - **Root Directory:** Leave as default
+4. Click **Deploy**
+
+Once connected to Git, Vercel automatically deploys:
+- **Production:** On push to `main` branch
+- **Preview:** On push to other branches
+
+Note: Vercel Connect trigger forwarding targets one environment/branch per attachment (production by default) — preview deployments won't receive Slack events unless you attach a connector trigger to that branch.
+
+## Configure Environment Variables
+
+### Variables
+
+| Variable | Value | Environments | Purpose |
+|----------|-------|--------------|---------|
+| `SLACK_CONNECTOR` | Connector UID (e.g., `slack/my-agent`) | Production, Preview | Vercel Connect Slack credentials — no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` / `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` needed |
+| `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` | Gateway key | Only if not using OIDC | AI Gateway with project OIDC needs **no** key on Vercel |
+| `ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD` / JWT / OIDC keys | Secret | Production, Preview | Route auth for the HTTP API, matching your `AuthFn` |
+| `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET` | Bypass secret | Local `.env` | Lets local tools reach protected preview deployments |
+
+Notes:
+
+- **Model routing:** string model IDs (e.g., `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`) route through the AI Gateway and authenticate via the project's OIDC token — no key required on Vercel.
+- **Connect auth:** in deployments, `@vercel/connect` authenticates with the OIDC token Vercel injects automatically (`VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`); Connect verifies the project/environment against connector links. Nothing to configure beyond `SLACK_CONNECTOR` and the connector-project link.
+
+### Via Dashboard
+
+1. Go to your project in Vercel Dashboard
+2. Navigate to **Settings** > **Environment Variables**
+3. Add the variables above and click **Save**
+4. **Redeploy** your project to apply the changes
+
+### Via CLI
+
+```bash
+vercel env add SLACK_CONNECTOR production
+# You'll be prompted to enter the value
+```
+
+## Replace Placeholder Auth Before Production
+
+Scaffolded projects protect the HTTP API with `placeholderAuth()`, which **fails closed in production** — every request to the API is rejected until you replace it.
+
+Replace it with a real auth function: `httpBasic()`, `jwtHmac()`, `jwtEcdsa()`, `oidc()`, `vercelOidc()`, or a custom `AuthFn`. Set the matching secrets (e.g., `ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD`) in Vercel env vars. See the eve auth guide (https://eve.dev/docs/guides/auth-and-route-protection).
+
+The Slack channel route (`/eve/v1/slack`) is verified separately: the channel's `webhookVerifier` confirms each event forwarded by Vercel Connect.
+
+## Point the Slack Connector at Your Deployment
+
+Slack events don't hit your deployment directly — Slack delivers to Vercel Connect, which verifies them and POSTs to your registered trigger destination. That destination must be your deployment's eve Slack route:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect attach <connector-uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+```
+
+- `--triggers` enables Slack Event Subscriptions (without it, `app_mention` / `message.im` never arrive)
+- `--trigger-branch` defaults to production
+- Forwarding goes to **deployments only, not localhost**
+
+## Verify Deployment
+
+1. **Health check:**
+   ```bash
+   curl https://your-app.vercel.app/eve/v1/health
+   ```
+2. **Create a session over the HTTP API:**
+   ```bash
+   curl -X POST https://your-app.vercel.app/eve/v1/session \
+     -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+     -d '{"message":"Hello!"}'
+   ```
+   (Include the credentials required by your route auth.)
+3. **Interactive smoke test** — drive the deployed app from the local TUI:
+   ```bash
+   npx eve dev https://your-app.vercel.app
+   ```
+4. **Slack:** invite the bot to a channel and @mention it. Check Vercel Dashboard > Logs for the forwarded event.
+
+## Deployment Protection
+
+Connect's forwarded Slack events are **not** blocked by Deployment Protection — no bypass secret is needed on the trigger path. Protection only affects your own requests to the deployment (verification curls, `eve dev <url>`).
+
+If protection is enabled and you need to reach the deployment yourself:
+
+1. Go to Vercel Dashboard > Project Settings > **Deployment Protection**
+2. Under **Protection Bypass for Automation**, copy the secret (also available as the `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET` env var)
+3. Include it where needed:
+   - **Manual verification:** add the header to your curls:
+     `curl -H "x-vercel-protection-bypass: YOUR_SECRET" https://your-app.vercel.app/eve/v1/health`
+   - **Local tooling:** set `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET` in your local `.env`
+4. Rotate the bypass secret periodically
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Vercel Dashboard
+
+- **Deployments:** View deployment history and status
+- **Logs:** Real-time function logs
+- **Analytics:** Request metrics and performance
+
+### Recommended Logging
+
+Add logging to your tools and hooks for debugging:
+
+```typescript
+console.log('[tool:get_weather]', { city });
+```
+
+Logs appear in Vercel Dashboard > Logs. For interactive debugging against the deployment, `npx eve dev https://your-app.vercel.app --logs all` streams the agent's activity.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build fails on Vercel
+
+- Check build logs for a **sandbox prewarm** failure — a failed prewarm fails the build
+
+### All API requests rejected in production
+
+**Cause:** the scaffolded `placeholderAuth()` fails closed in production.
+
+**Solution:** replace it with a real auth function and set its secrets (see above).
+
+### Bot doesn't respond to @mentions
+
+1. Invite the bot to the channel
+2. Confirm the deployment finished
+3. Confirm the connector trigger is attached to this project with `--triggers` and trigger path `/eve/v1/slack` (`vercel connect list`)
+4. Check the trigger branch — it defaults to production; a trigger attached to another branch/environment won't reach this deployment
+
+### 504 Gateway Timeout on API endpoints
+
+**Cause:** a synchronous request exceeded the function time limit.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Use the streaming endpoint (`/eve/v1/session/<id>/stream`) rather than waiting for completion
+2. Remember that agent turns themselves run durably on Vercel Workflows — long-running work isn't bounded by a single request, so prefer session-create + stream over blocking calls
+
+### Environment Variables Not Working
+
+**Cause:** Variables not available after adding.
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Redeploy after adding variables
+2. Check variable scope (Production/Preview/Development)
+3. Verify variable names match exactly (case-sensitive)
+
+## Production Checklist
+
+Before going live:

+- [ ] `SLACK_CONNECTOR` set for Production (and Preview if used)
+- [ ] Connector trigger attached with `--triggers` and trigger path `/eve/v1/slack`
+- [ ] `placeholderAuth()` replaced with a real auth function; route-auth secrets configured
+- [ ] Model credential in place (OIDC-backed AI Gateway, `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`, or provider key)

+## Rollback
+
+If something goes wrong:
+
+1. Go to **Deployments** in Vercel Dashboard
+2. Find a working previous deployment
+3. Click the **...** menu
+4. Select **Promote to Production**
+
+This instantly reverts to the previous version. The connector trigger targets the environment, not a specific deployment, so Slack events follow the promotion automatically.

+# Phase 1: Project Setup
+
+This phase handles creating a new Slack agent project using [eve](https://eve.dev/docs), Vercel's agent framework.
+
+## Check Current State
+
+First, look for existing project indicators:
+- `package.json` with `eve` dependency
+- `agent/` directory (`agent/instructions.md`, `agent/agent.ts`)
+- `agent/channels/slack.ts` (Slack channel)
+- `.env` file with credentials
+
+If these exist, this is an existing project - skip to Phase 2 or 3.
+
+---
+
+## For NEW Projects
+
+### Step 1.1: Understand the Agent Purpose
+
+Before scaffolding the project, ask the user what they're building:
+
+> **What kind of Slack agent are you building?**
+>
+> Examples: joke bot, support assistant, weather bot, task manager, standup bot, etc.
+>
+> Tell me what you want your agent to do, and I'll create a custom implementation plan for you.
+
+Based on their response, generate a recommended project name:
+- "joke bot" -> `joke-slack-agent`
+- "customer support" -> `support-slack-agent`
+- "weather" -> `weather-slack-agent`
+- "task manager" -> `taskbot-slack-agent`
+- "standup" -> `standup-slack-agent`
+
+Use the pattern: `<purpose>-slack-agent` (lowercase, hyphens, no spaces).
+
+**Store this context** - you'll use it for the connector name in Phase 2 and for `agent/instructions.md` in Step 1.5.
+
+### Step 1.2: Generate Custom Implementation Plan
+
+Based on the user's stated purpose, generate a custom implementation plan tailored to their specific agent.
+
+**Reference document:** See `reference/agent-archetypes.md` for common patterns and the plan template.
+
+**Instructions for plan generation:**
+
+1. **Analyze the agent purpose** to identify:
+   - Primary interaction patterns (@mentions, DMs, button interactions, scheduled)
+   - What the model needs to *do* (tools) vs. what it needs to *know* (instructions/skills)
+   - Whether the agent reacts to Slack events or also runs proactively (schedules)
+   - Thread-context needs (does a reply need the full thread history?)
+   - External integrations needed (APIs, MCP servers, databases)
+
+2. **Match to archetypes** from the reference document:
+   - Standup/Reminder Bot
+   - Support/Help Desk Bot
+   - Information/Lookup Bot
+   - Conversational AI Bot
+   - Automation Bot
+   - Notification/Alerting Bot
+   - Or combine multiple archetypes for hybrid agents
+
+3. **Generate a specific plan** using the template structure:
+   - Overview (1-2 sentences)
+   - Core Features (3-5 specific features)
+   - Dispatch Hooks (what triggers the agent - `onAppMention`, `onDirectMessage`, `onInteraction`)
+   - Tools (specific tool names and parameters - each becomes a `defineTool` file in `agent/tools/`, where the filename is the tool name)
+   - Skills (load-on-demand instructions as `agent/skills/*.md`, if the agent has distinct task modes)
+   - Schedules (if the agent runs proactively - with cron expressions)
+   - Thread Context (whether the Slack channel should load prior thread messages)
+   - Files to Create/Modify (specific file paths using eve conventions: `agent/instructions.md`, `agent/agent.ts`, `agent/tools/*.ts`, `agent/skills/*.md`, `agent/channels/slack.ts`)
+
+4. **Include complexity indicator:**
+   - **Simple** - Instructions + 1-2 tools, no external services, can be built quickly
+   - **Medium** - Multiple tools, skills, or thread context, moderate effort
+   - **Complex** - Multi-turn workflows, external integrations, scheduled jobs
+
+**After generating the plan**, proceed to [Phase 1b: Approve Plan](./1b-approve-plan.md) to present it to the user for approval.
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.3: Choose LLM Provider
+
+> **Note:** Only proceed to this step after the implementation plan has been approved in [Phase 1b](./1b-approve-plan.md).
+
+Every eve agent needs a model credential. Ask the user how they want to authenticate:
+
+> **How do you want to connect to your LLM provider?**
+>
+> 1. **Vercel AI Gateway with Vercel OIDC** (Recommended)
+>    - Easiest setup - no API keys needed when the project is linked to Vercel
+>    - Access to multiple providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.) via model-ID strings
+>    - Built-in rate limiting and observability
+>
+> 2. **Vercel AI Gateway with an API key**
+>    - Same Gateway routing, authenticated with `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`
+>    - Useful outside Vercel-linked environments (e.g., external CI)
+
+Based on their choice:
+
+**If AI Gateway with Vercel OIDC (default):**
+- eve's default model is `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`, routed through the Gateway automatically
+- No API keys needed - `vercel link` + `vercel env pull` provides `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN` locally; deployments get it automatically
+- Store this choice for Phase 3 (no AI keys needed in .env)
+
+**If AI Gateway with an API key:**
+- Same default model; authentication via `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`
+- Store this choice for Phase 3 (will need `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` in .env)
+
+**Store this context** - you'll use it for environment configuration in Phase 3.
+
+### Step 1.4: Scaffold the Project
+
+**Check Node version first** - eve requires Node 24+:
+
+```bash
+node --version  # must be 24.x or later
+```
+
+Create a new eve project with the recommended name:
+
+```bash
+npx eve@latest init <recommended-name>
+```
+
+This creates the project, installs dependencies (`eve`, `ai`, `zod`), and initializes Git. If a coding-agent REPL (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) is installed, init offers to open it — decline, or exit whichever it starts (REPL or the `eve dev` TUI), to continue with the wizard.
+
+> **Existing codebase?** Run `eve init .` inside the project instead - it adds the `eve`, `ai`, and `zod` dependencies to the current project.
+
+Ask the user to confirm or customize the project name before proceeding.
+
+### Step 1.5: Set Up the Agent Files
+
+After scaffolding, fill in the core agent files. eve is filesystem-first: a file's location says what it does, and its path usually gives it its name.
+
+1. **Write `agent/instructions.md`** - the always-on system prompt. Generate this from the Step 1.1 interview and the approved plan: who the agent is, what it does, its tone, and any hard rules. For example, for a weather bot:
+
+   ```markdown
+   You are a friendly weather assistant for our Slack workspace.
+
+   - Answer questions about current weather using your tools.
+   - Keep replies short and conversational; reply in the thread you were mentioned in.
+   - If a location is ambiguous, ask for clarification instead of guessing.
+   ```
+
+2. **Configure `agent/agent.ts`** - runtime config via `defineAgent`:
+
+   ```typescript
+   import { defineAgent } from "eve";
+
+   export default defineAgent({
+     model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5",
+   });
+   ```
+
+   The `model` string routes through Vercel AI Gateway (it's also the default if omitted).
+
+3. **Create the first tool** from the approved plan in `agent/tools/` - the filename (snake_case) is the tool name the model sees, no registration needed. For example, `agent/tools/get_weather.ts`:
+
+   ```typescript
+   import { defineTool } from "eve/tools";
+   import { z } from "zod";
+
+   export default defineTool({
+     description: "Get the current weather for a city.",
+     inputSchema: z.object({ city: z.string().min(1) }),
+     async execute({ city }) {
+       return { city, condition: "Sunny", temperatureF: 72 };
+     },
+   });
+   ```
+
+4. **Add the Slack channel** - run:
+
+   ```bash
+   eve channels add slack
+   ```
+
+   This scaffolds the channel and installs its dependency (`@vercel/connect`). Then make sure `agent/channels/slack.ts` wires credentials through Vercel Connect:
+
+   ```typescript
+   import { connectSlackCredentials } from "@vercel/connect/eve";
+   import { slackChannel } from "eve/channels/slack";
+
+   export default slackChannel({
+     credentials: connectSlackCredentials(
+       process.env.SLACK_CONNECTOR ?? "slack/<recommended-name>"
+     ),
+   });
+   ```
+
+   The `slack.ts` filename registers the `slack` channel, served at `/eve/v1/slack`. The connector UID (`SLACK_CONNECTOR`) is created in Phase 2 - no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` to manage.
+
+### Step 1.6: Verify Project Structure
+
+After setup, verify the project structure:
+
+```
+agent/
+  instructions.md      # always-on system prompt (from the interview)
+  agent.ts             # runtime config (defineAgent)
+  tools/*.ts           # tools - filename = tool name (defineTool)
+  skills/*.md          # load-on-demand instructions (if planned)
+  channels/slack.ts    # Slack channel via Vercel Connect
+```
+
+If the structure looks correct, proceed to Phase 2.
+
+---
+
+## For EXISTING Projects
+
+Verify the project structure:
+- `package.json` with the `eve` dependency (if missing, run `eve init .`)
+- `agent/instructions.md` and `agent/agent.ts` - core agent files
+- `agent/channels/slack.ts` - Slack channel (add with `eve channels add slack` if missing)
+
+If the structure looks correct, proceed to Phase 2 (Create the Slack Connector) or Phase 3 (Configure Environment) depending on what's already done.
+
+---
+
+## Next Phase
+
+Once the project is set up, proceed to [Phase 2: Create the Slack Connector](./2-create-slack-app.md).

+# Phase 1b: Approve Implementation Plan
+
+This phase presents the generated implementation plan to the user for review and approval before proceeding with project setup.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+You should have:
+- Completed Step 1.1 (Understand Agent Purpose)
+- Generated a custom implementation plan in Step 1.2
+
+---
+
+## Present the Plan
+
+Display the generated implementation plan to the user in a clear, organized format:
+
+> **Here's my proposed implementation plan for your [Agent Name]:**
+>
+> [Display the full generated plan from Step 1.2]
+>
+> **Complexity:** [Simple/Medium/Complex]
+
+---
+
+## Request User Decision
+
+After presenting the plan, ask the user to choose how to proceed:
+
+> **What would you like to do?**
+>
+> 1. **Approve and continue** - Proceed with this plan
+> 2. **Modify the plan** - Tell me what to change
+> 3. **Start over** - Describe your agent differently
+
+---
+
+## Handle User Response
+
+### If User Approves
+
+Store the approved plan for reference throughout the remaining phases:
+
+1. **Note the key elements** that will be implemented:
+   - Dispatch hooks to set up (`onAppMention`, `onDirectMessage`, `onInteraction`)
+   - Tools to build (`agent/tools/*.ts`)
+   - Skills to write (`agent/skills/*.md`)
+   - Schedules and thread-context needs
+   - (No custom Slack UI needed - eve renders typing indicators and human-in-the-loop buttons itself)
+
+2. **Return to Phase 1** to continue with:
+   - [Step 1.3: Choose LLM Provider](./1-project-setup.md#step-13-choose-llm-provider)
+   - [Step 1.4: Scaffold the Project](./1-project-setup.md#step-14-scaffold-the-project)
+
+3. **The approved plan guides implementation** in later phases:
+   - Phase 1 (Step 1.5): instructions.md and the first tool come from the plan
+   - Phase 3+: Build the remaining features specified in the plan
+
+### If User Wants Modifications
+
+Ask clarifying questions about what to change:
+
+> **What would you like to change?**
+>
+> You can:
+> - Add or remove features
+> - Rename tools or change their parameters
+> - Adjust which dispatch hooks the agent responds to
+> - Add or drop skills and schedules
+> - Change any other aspect of the plan
+
+After receiving feedback:
+
+1. Update the plan based on their input
+2. Present the revised plan
+3. Ask for approval again
+
+**Common modification requests:**
+
+| User says... | How to modify |
+|-------------|---------------|
+| "It should be able to do X" | Add to the Tools table |
+| "I don't need X feature" | Remove from Core Features |
+| "Make it simpler" | Reduce scope, mark as lower complexity |
+| "It should also respond to DMs" | Add `onDirectMessage` to Dispatch Hooks |
+| "It should run every morning" | Add to Schedules with a cron expression |
+| "I need to store data" | Add a tool backed by a database or external API |
+
+### If User Wants to Start Over
+
+Return to [Step 1.1: Understand the Agent Purpose](./1-project-setup.md#step-11-understand-the-agent-purpose) and ask them to describe their agent differently.
+
+---
+
+## Plan Refinement Tips
+
+When modifying plans based on user feedback:
+
+1. **Keep it focused** - Only include features the user explicitly wants
+2. **Be specific** - Use concrete names for commands and tools
+3. **Consider dependencies** - If they want feature X, they might also need Y
+4. **Right-size complexity** - Don't over-engineer simple bots
+
+**Example refinement conversation:**
+
+> User: "I want a weather bot but simpler - just current weather, no forecast"
+>
+> Assistant: "Got it! Here's a simplified plan..."
+>
+> ```
+> ## Implementation Plan: Weather Bot (Simplified)
+>
+> ### Overview
+> A simple bot that provides current weather for any location.
+>
+> ### Core Features
+> 1. **Current Weather** - Get current conditions for a location
+>
+> ### Tools
+> | Tool | Description | Example trigger |
+> |------|-------------|-----------------|
+> | `get_weather` | Get current weather for a city | "@weatherbot what's it like in San Francisco?" |
+>
+> ### Complexity: Simple
+> ```
+
+---
+
+## Context to Store
+
+After approval, maintain these details for use in later phases:
+
+| Context | Used In |
+|---------|---------|
+| Tool names and parameters | Phase 1 (Step 1.5), implementation |
+| Dispatch hooks needed | Phase 1 (Step 1.5), implementation |
+| LLM provider choice | Phase 1 (Step 1.3), Phase 3 (.env) |
+| Thread-context and schedule needs | Implementation |
+| Feature list | Implementation reference |
+
+---
+
+## Next Phase
+
+After the plan is approved, return to [Phase 1: Project Setup](./1-project-setup.md) to continue with:
+- Step 1.3: Choose LLM Provider
+- Step 1.4: Scaffold the Project
+
+Then proceed to [Phase 2: Create the Slack Connector](./2-create-slack-app.md).

+# Phase 2: Create the Slack Connector
+
+This phase guides the user through connecting their agent to Slack with Vercel Connect. There is no Slack app to create at api.slack.com and no manifest to paste — Vercel Connect manages the Slack OAuth client, brokers short-lived tokens at runtime, and forwards Slack events to the deployed agent. The only Slack credential the project needs is the `SLACK_CONNECTOR` env var.
+
+**Prerequisites:** the latest Vercel CLI (`npm install -g vercel@latest`) and the project linked to Vercel (`vercel link`, done in Phase 1). The user needs permission to install apps in their Slack workspace.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2.0: Choose a Connector Name
+
+Collect the connector name from the user. Use the context from Phase 1 (agent purpose) as the default.
+
+Ask the user:
+
+> **Let's set up your Slack connector:**
+>
+> 1. **Connector Name** (required) - A short kebab-case identifier (e.g., "joke-bot"). The full connector UID becomes `slack/<name>`.
+> 2. **Environment** (optional) - Which environment this connector serves. Best practice is one connector per environment (e.g., `joke-bot` for production, `joke-bot-dev` for previews) to keep grants and audit trails separate.
+
+**After collecting responses**, record the full UID (e.g., `slack/joke-bot`) — it will be used in every command below and stored as `SLACK_CONNECTOR` in Phase 3.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2.1: Create the Connector
+
+Run (or have the user run) from the project directory:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect create slack --name <name> --triggers
+```
+
+- `--triggers` enables Slack Event Subscriptions through Connect. **Do not omit it** — without it, `app_mention` and `message.im` events never arrive.
+- The CLI sets up the connection automatically and opens the browser for steps that need manual input — installing the connector into the Slack workspace and selecting bot scopes and trigger events.
+
+Tell the user to select:
+
+> **Bot scopes:** `chat:write`, `channels:read`, `channels:history`, `groups:history`, `im:history`, `mpim:history`, `reactions:write`, `users:read`
+>
+> - `im:history` is required for the bot to answer DMs.
+> - The `*:history` scopes let eve load prior thread messages for context.
+>
+> **Trigger events:** `app_mention`, `message.im` (add `message.channels` / `message.groups` / `message.mpim` only if the agent should listen beyond mentions and DMs).
+
+---
+
+## Step 2.2: Attach with eve's Trigger Path
+
+Attach the connector to the project. The default trigger path is `/slack`, but eve serves its Slack channel at `/eve/v1/slack`, so set the path explicitly:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect attach slack/<name> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+```
+
+(Don't use `detach` for this — it removes token access but does **not** remove trigger destinations. If a stale destination lingers, remove it on the connector: `vercel connect open slack/<name>`.)
+
+**Important:** the trigger path must be exactly `/eve/v1/slack` — events forwarded anywhere else are dropped by the app. `--trigger-branch` defaults to production, which is correct for this wizard.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2.3: Verify
+
+Confirm the connector exists and is attached to the project with the right trigger path:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect list
+```
+
+Check the output shows the connector UID (`slack/<name>`), the linked project, and trigger path `/eve/v1/slack`. If the path is wrong, repeat Step 2.2.
+
+Remind the user:
+
+> Slack events forward to **deployments only, never localhost** — the Slack surface can't be tested until the agent is deployed (Phase 5). Everything else works in the local eve TUI.
+
+---
+
+## Context to Store
+
+Carry these values forward:
+
+- **`SLACK_CONNECTOR`** = `slack/<name>` (needed for `.env` in Phase 3)
+- Connector name and target Slack workspace
+- Selected bot scopes and trigger events (for troubleshooting later)
+
+No bot token or signing secret exists to collect — Connect issues short-lived tokens at runtime and verifies every forwarded event for you.
+
+---
+
+## Next Phase
+
+Once the connector is created, attached at `/eve/v1/slack`, and the `SLACK_CONNECTOR` value is recorded, proceed to [Phase 3: Configure Environment](./3-configure-environment.md).

+# Phase 3: Configure Environment
+
+This phase sets up the environment variables needed for the Slack agent to run. With Vercel Connect there are no Slack tokens to paste — the only Slack variable is `SLACK_CONNECTOR`, using the connector UID from Phase 2.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3.1: Link the Project and Pull Environment
+
+Link the directory to the Vercel project and pull the environment. This fetches `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN` into `.env.local`, which authenticates local calls to both the AI Gateway and Vercel Connect:
+
+```bash
+vercel link
+vercel env pull
+```
+
+**Note:** The pulled `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN` expires after ~12 hours. If local AI or Connect calls start failing with auth errors later, re-run `vercel env pull`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3.2: Complete .env.local
+
+Add to `.env.local` based on the user's LLM choice from Step 1.3 and the connector UID from Phase 2:
+
+**If using Vercel AI Gateway via OIDC (default):**
+```env
+# Slack via Vercel Connect (no bot token or signing secret needed)
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+
+# VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN was written by `vercel env pull`
+
+# No AI keys needed - the AI Gateway authenticates via the OIDC token!
+```
+
+**If using Vercel AI Gateway with an API key:**
+```env
+# Slack via Vercel Connect
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+
+# AI Gateway key (instead of OIDC)
+AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY=your-gateway-key
+```
+
+**If No LLM needed:**
+```env
+# Slack via Vercel Connect
+SLACK_CONNECTOR=slack/my-agent
+```
+
+**Security:** Never display API keys or the OIDC token back to the user or in logs. `SLACK_CONNECTOR` is an identifier, not a secret.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3.3: Verify .gitignore
+
+Ensure credentials won't be committed:
+
+```bash
+# Check .gitignore covers .env files (including .env.local)
+grep -q "^\.env" .gitignore || printf ".env\n.env*.local\n" >> .gitignore
+```
+

+# Phase 4: Test the Agent Locally
+
+This phase guides the user through testing their agent locally with the `eve dev` TUI and the HTTP API.
+
+**Important:** the Slack surface **cannot** be tested locally. Slack events route through Vercel Connect, which forwards to deployments only — never to localhost. There is no tunneling step (no ngrok). Everything else — instructions, tools, skills, the conversation loop — works locally, and that's what this phase exercises. The Slack surface is tested in Phase 5 against the production deployment.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4.0: Link to Vercel and Pull Environment
+
+Before testing locally, connect the project to Vercel. This provides the OIDC token that authenticates both **Vercel AI Gateway** (model calls without API keys) and **Vercel Connect** (the Slack connector SDK).
+
+1. **Create/link the Vercel project** (if not already done):
+   ```bash
+   vercel link
+   ```
+   Confirm the project is linked (creates `.vercel/` directory).
+
+2. **Pull environment variables:**
+   ```bash
+   vercel env pull
+   ```
+   This fetches a short-lived dev token into `.env.local`, along with project env vars like `SLACK_CONNECTOR`.
+
+**Why this is required:**
+
+- Vercel AI Gateway authenticates via the OIDC token — no `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` or provider keys needed
+- The `@vercel/connect` SDK authenticates with the same token
+- The pulled OIDC token expires after ~12 hours — if auth errors appear later, re-run `vercel env pull`
+
+**Note:** You'll complete the full deployment in Phase 5. This step just establishes local access to the Gateway and Connect.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4.1: Run the Agent in the Dev TUI
+
+```bash
+npx eve dev
+```
+
+This starts the HMR dev server with a terminal REPL/TUI. Tell the user:
+
+> **Exercise your agent in the TUI:**
+>
+> 1. Send a message that matches your agent's purpose and confirm the instructions shape the reply
+> 2. Trigger each tool (e.g., ask a question that requires `get_weather`) and confirm it executes and returns sensible output
+> 3. If you added skills, send a request matching a skill's description and confirm it loads (watch for the `load_skill` call)
+> 4. Test any approval-gated tools — the gated call should pause and resume after approval
+
+Useful variants:
+
+- `npx eve dev --no-ui` — run without the TUI (background/verification runs)
+- `/loglevel all` in the TUI, or `npx eve dev --logs all` — verbose logs when debugging
+- `npx eve dev https://your-app.vercel.app` — drive a **deployed** app interactively (used in Phase 5)
+
+---
+
+## Step 4.2: (Optional) Exercise the HTTP API
+
+Every eve app serves the same stable HTTP API. With the dev server running, you can verify it directly:
+
+```bash
+# Create a session
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:2000/eve/v1/session \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"message":"What is the weather in Brooklyn?"}'
+# → continuationToken in body, x-eve-session-id header
+
+# Stream the session (NDJSON, application/x-ndjson)
+curl http://127.0.0.1:2000/eve/v1/session/<sessionId>/stream
+
+# Send a follow-up
+curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:2000/eve/v1/session/<sessionId> \
+  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"continuationToken":"<token>","message":"Now do Queens."}'
+```
+
+Key stream events to look for: `session.started`, `actions.requested`, `action.result`, `message.completed`, `session.completed`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4.3: Slack Testing Comes in Phase 5
+
+Tell the user:
+
+> **Local testing does not cover Slack.** Vercel Connect forwards Slack events (@mentions, DMs) to deployments only — localhost can never receive them. Once your agent behaves correctly in the TUI, deploy in Phase 5 and test the Slack surface there by inviting the bot and @mentioning it.
+
+Do **not** suggest ngrok or any tunneling tool — it does not apply to the Connect forwarding model.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### AI Gateway not working / Authentication errors
+- Run `vercel link` to connect your project to Vercel
+- Ensure `.vercel/` directory exists in your project root
+- Run `vercel env pull` to refresh `.env.local` — the local OIDC token expires after ~12 hours
+
+### Agent doesn't respond in the TUI
+- Restart with verbose logs: `npx eve dev --logs all` (or `/loglevel all` in the TUI)
+- Check for model-credential errors in the log output
+- Confirm Node 24+ is in use (`node --version`)
+
+### Tool not being called
+- The filename is the tool name the model sees (`agent/tools/get_weather.ts` → `get_weather`) — confirm it's snake_case ASCII and the `description` clearly says when to use it
+- Confirm the tool exports a `defineTool` default and has an `inputSchema` (required even if empty)
+
+---
+
+## Context to Store
+
+- **Local test result** — confirmation the agent, tools, and skills behave as planned (referenced when verifying production in Phase 5)
+
+## Next Phase
+
+Once the agent behaves correctly locally, proceed to [Phase 5: Deploy to Production](./5-deploy-production.md) — that's where the Slack surface gets tested.

+# Phase 5: Deploy to Production
+
+This phase guides the user through deploying their eve agent to Vercel and testing the Slack surface — which only works against a deployment (Vercel Connect forwards events to deployments, never localhost).
+
+---
+
+## Step 5.1: Push to GitHub
+
+```bash
+# Create repo on GitHub, then:
+git remote add origin https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO.git
+git push -u origin main
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 5.2: Deploy to Vercel
+
+**Option A - Via CLI (recommended):**
+```bash
+npx eve deploy
+```
+This wraps `vercel deploy --prod` — eve builds and emits Vercel Build Output.
+
+**Option B - Git-connected deploy:**
+> 1. Go to https://vercel.com/new
+> 2. Import your GitHub repository
+> 3. Click **Deploy**
+>
+> After that, every push to `main` deploys to production automatically.
+
+**If the build fails:** check the build logs for a **sandbox prewarm** failure — Vercel builds prewarm sandbox templates, and a failed prewarm fails the build.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5.3: Configure Production Environment Variables
+
+Tell the user:
+
+> **Add environment variables in Vercel:**
+>
+> **Option A - Via CLI:**
+> ```bash
+> vercel env add SLACK_CONNECTOR
+> ```
+> Enter your connector UID (e.g., `slack/my-agent`) when prompted. Select all environments (Production, Preview, Development) when asked.
+>
+> **Option B - Via Dashboard:**
+> 1. Go to your project in Vercel Dashboard
+> 2. Go to **Settings** -> **Environment Variables**
+> 3. Add `SLACK_CONNECTOR` = your connector UID
+> 4. Click **Save**
+
+No `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET` is needed — Vercel Connect brokers short-lived Slack tokens at runtime and verifies forwarded webhooks.
+
+**Note for AI configuration:**
+- **Using Vercel AI Gateway (default)?** No AI API keys needed — string model IDs authenticate via the project's OIDC token on Vercel.
+
+**Route auth:** if you replaced `placeholderAuth()` with e.g. `httpBasic()`, add its secrets (e.g., `ROUTE_AUTH_BASIC_PASSWORD`). Remember `placeholderAuth()` fails closed in production — the HTTP API rejects everything until it's replaced.
+
+**After adding variables:** Redeploy the project for changes to take effect.
+- CLI: `npx eve deploy`
+- Dashboard: Deployments -> ... -> Redeploy
+
+---
+
+## Step 5.4: Confirm the Connector Trigger Destination
+
+Slack events reach the agent only if the connector's trigger forwarding points at this project's production deployment on eve's Slack route.
+
+Check the current attachment:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect list
+```
+
+If the connector isn't registered as a trigger destination on `/eve/v1/slack`, re-run the attach with the right path:
+
+```bash
+vercel connect attach <connector-uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes
+```
+
+- `--triggers` registers this project as a trigger destination — without it, `app_mention` / `message.im` never arrive
+- `--trigger-branch` defaults to production, which is what you want here
+- Note: `vercel connect detach` removes token access but does **not** remove trigger destinations — manage those on the connector (dashboard: `vercel connect open <connector-uid>`)
+
+Deployment Protection does not block Connect's forwarded events, and no bypass secret is needed for the trigger path. If protection is enabled and you want to run verification curls against the deployment, set `VERCEL_AUTOMATION_BYPASS_SECRET` locally and pass it as the `x-vercel-protection-bypass` header on those curls only.
+
+---
+
+## Step 5.5: Verify Production
+
+First, confirm the deployment is healthy:
+
+```bash
+curl https://YOUR-APP.vercel.app/eve/v1/health
+```
+
+Then tell the user:
+
+> **Test the Slack surface:**
+>
+> 1. Open your Slack workspace
+> 2. Invite the bot to a channel: `/invite @YourBotName`
+> 3. Mention the bot: `@YourBotName hello!`
+> 4. You should see a "Working…" indicator, then a reply in the thread
+> 5. Check Vercel Dashboard -> Logs for the forwarded event
+
+For an interactive smoke test of the deployed agent itself:
+
+```bash
+npx eve dev https://YOUR-APP.vercel.app
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Bot doesn't respond to @mentions
+- Invite the bot to the channel first
+- Confirm the deployment finished (check Deployments in the dashboard)
+- Confirm the connector trigger is attached to **this** project with `--triggers` and trigger path `/eve/v1/slack` (`vercel connect list`)
+- Check the trigger branch/environment — triggers default to production; a trigger attached to another branch or a preview environment won't reach the production deployment
+
+### Bot stuck on "Working…"
+- Stream logs from the deployment: `npx eve dev https://YOUR-APP.vercel.app --logs all` (or `/loglevel all` in the TUI)
+
+### Health check fails
+- Confirm the deployment completed and the URL is correct
+- If Deployment Protection is on, add `-H "x-vercel-protection-bypass: YOUR_SECRET"` to the curl
+
+### HTTP API rejects all requests
+- The scaffolded `placeholderAuth()` fails closed in production — replace it with a real auth function and set its secrets, then redeploy
+
+---
+
+## Context to Store
+
+- **Deployment URL** — the production URL (used for health checks and `eve dev <url>`)
+- **Deployment protection status** — whether verification curls need the `x-vercel-protection-bypass` header
+
+## Next Phase (Optional)
+
+Once production is verified, you may optionally proceed to [Phase 6: Set Up Testing](./6-setup-testing.md).

+# Phase 6: Set Up Testing (Optional but Recommended)
+
+This phase guides the user through setting up a testing framework for their eve Slack agent.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.1: Install Test Dependencies
+
+```bash
+pnpm add -D vitest @vitest/coverage-v8
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.2: Create Test Config
+
+Create `vitest.config.ts` in the project root. Tests are co-located with the agent code under `agent/`; eve's build artifacts in `.eve/` are excluded.
+
+```typescript
+import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  test: {
+    globals: true,
+    environment: 'node',
+    include: [
+      'agent/**/*.test.ts',
+    ],
+    exclude: [
+      'node_modules',
+      '.eve',
+      '.vercel',
+      'dist',
+    ],
+    coverage: {
+      provider: 'v8',
+      reporter: ['text', 'json', 'html'],
+      include: ['agent/**/*.ts'],
+      exclude: [
+        'agent/**/*.test.ts',
+        'agent/**/*.d.ts',
+        'agent/__tests__/**',
+      ],
+      thresholds: {
+        lines: 70,
+        functions: 70,
+        branches: 60,
+        statements: 70,
+      },
+    },
+    setupFiles: ['./agent/__tests__/setup.ts'],
+    testTimeout: 10000,
+    retry: 0,
+    reporters: ['verbose'],
+  },
+});
+```
+
+You can also copy this from `./templates/eve/vitest.config.ts`.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.3: Create Test Setup
+
+Create `agent/__tests__/setup.ts` with test utilities and mocks. You can copy the template from `./templates/eve/test-setup.ts`.
+
+This setup file provides:
+- Environment variable stubs for tests (`SLACK_CONNECTOR`, `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` — no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`; Vercel Connect brokers Slack credentials)
+- Module-boundary mocks for `eve`, `eve/tools`, `eve/channels/slack`, `@vercel/connect`, and `@vercel/connect/eve`
+- Mock factories for creating test fixtures (tool `ctx`, Slack channel handle, Slack messages)
+- Test lifecycle hooks
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.4: Add Test Scripts
+
+Add to `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "test": "vitest run",
+    "test:watch": "vitest",
+    "test:coverage": "vitest run --coverage",
+    "typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.5: Create Sample Tests
+
+Copy the sample test templates from `./templates/eve/sample-tests/` into your project:
+
+- `agent.test.ts` - Sample agent config and Slack channel tests (split into `agent/agent.test.ts` and `agent/channels/slack.test.ts`)
+- `tools.test.ts` - Sample tool unit tests (copy alongside each tool, e.g. `agent/tools/get_channel_messages.test.ts`)
+
+Customize these templates for your specific implementation. Tools are default exports from `defineTool` — test them by calling `execute(input, ctx)` directly with a mock `ctx`, covering error paths as well as the happy path.
+
+---
+
+## Step 6.6: Run Tests
+
+```bash
+pnpm test
+```
+
+---
+
+## Test Coverage Guidelines
+
+Aim for these coverage targets:
+
+| Category | Target |
+|----------|--------|
+| Tools | 90%+ |
+| Agent logic | 85%+ |
+| Channel event handlers | 80%+ |
+| Utilities | 90%+ |
+| Overall | 80%+ |
+
+Run coverage report:
+```bash
+pnpm test:coverage
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security Reminders
+
+- NEVER commit `.env` files
+- NEVER log full API tokens
+- Use different Vercel Connect connectors for dev and production (one connector per environment)
+- Rotate credentials if exposed
+
+---
+
+## Complete!
+
+Your Slack agent is now set up with:
+
+- eve project with the filesystem-first agent layout (`agent/instructions.md`, `agent/agent.ts`, `agent/tools/`, `agent/channels/slack.ts`, `agent/skills/`)
+- Slack connectivity through Vercel Connect (`SLACK_CONNECTOR`, trigger path `/eve/v1/slack`)
+- Environment configuration
+- Local development workflow (`npx eve dev`)
+- Production deployment on Vercel
+- Testing infrastructure
+
+For ongoing development, refer to:
+- `./SKILL.md` - Development standards and patterns
+- `./patterns/testing-patterns.md` - Detailed testing guidance
+- `./patterns/slack-patterns.md` - Slack-specific patterns
+- `./reference/` - Technical reference documentation

+# Slack Agent Setup Wizard
+
+Interactive wizard for building and deploying Slack agents on Vercel using [eve](https://eve.dev/docs), Vercel's agent framework, with Slack credentials brokered by [Vercel Connect](https://vercel.com/kb/guide/vercel-connect). This wizard guides users through the complete setup process from project creation to production deployment.
+
+## Key Feature: Custom Implementation Planning
+
+When starting a new project, the wizard generates a **custom implementation plan** tailored to the specific agent the user wants to build. Instead of a generic template setup, users get:
+
+- Specific dispatch hooks for their use case
+- Appropriate tools and skills
+- Right-sized thread-context and scheduling choices
+- Concrete file paths to create
+
+This plan is presented for approval before any code is scaffolded, allowing users to refine the scope before implementation.
+
+## How to Use
+
+The wizard is divided into 7 phases. Based on the user's request and project state, determine which phase to start with:
+
+### Command Arguments
+
+- `new` - Start fresh with Phase 1 (new project)
+- `configure` - Start with Phase 2 or 3 (existing project)
+- `deploy` - Start with Phase 5 (deploy to production)
+- `test` - Start with Phase 6 (set up testing)
+- (no argument) - Auto-detect based on project state
+
+### Phase Detection
+
+Check the project state to determine the appropriate starting phase:
+
+| Condition | Starting Phase |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| No `package.json` with `eve` (and no `agent/` directory) | Phase 1 - New project |
+| Has project but no Slack connector (`SLACK_CONNECTOR` unset) | Phase 2 - Create the Slack connector |
+| Has connector but no `.env` file | Phase 3 - Configure environment |
+| Has `.env` but not tested locally | Phase 4 - Test locally |
+| Tested locally but not deployed | Phase 5 - Deploy to production |
+| Deployed but no tests | Phase 6 - Set up testing |
+
+### Wizard Phases
+
+1. **[Project Setup](./1-project-setup.md)** - Understand purpose, generate implementation plan
+1b. **[Approve Plan](./1b-approve-plan.md)** - Review and approve custom implementation plan
+2. **[Create the Slack Connector](./2-create-slack-app.md)** - Register a Slack connector with Vercel Connect
+3. **[Configure Environment](./3-configure-environment.md)** - Set up .env
+4. **[Test Locally](./4-test-locally.md)** - Test the agent in the `eve dev` TUI
+5. **[Deploy to Production](./5-deploy-production.md)** - Vercel deployment
+6. **[Set Up Testing](./6-setup-testing.md)** - Vitest configuration (optional)
+
+## Context to Maintain
+
+Throughout the wizard, track these user choices for use in later phases:
+
+- **Agent purpose** - What the agent does (used for naming, instructions.md, and the connector name)
+- **Implementation plan** - The approved custom plan with features, hooks, and tools
+- **Project name** - Directory name for the project
+- **LLM provider choice** - AI Gateway with OIDC, or Gateway API key
+- **Slack connector UID** - e.g. `slack/my-agent` (value of `SLACK_CONNECTOR`)
+- **Deployment URL** - Vercel URL for production
+- **Deployment protection status** - Whether bypass secret is needed
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Command | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|
+| `eve dev` | Start local dev server + terminal TUI (port 2000) |
+| `eve dev https://<app>` | Drive a deployed app interactively |
+| `eve build` | Compile the agent into `.eve/` |
+| `eve deploy` | Deploy to Vercel (wraps `vercel deploy --prod`) |
+| `vercel connect create slack --triggers` | Register a Slack connector |
+| `vercel connect attach <uid> --triggers --trigger-path /eve/v1/slack --yes` | Point the connector's triggers at the agent |
+| `vercel link` + `vercel env pull` | Link the project and pull OIDC/dev env vars |
+| `pnpm lint` / `pnpm typecheck` / `pnpm test` | Quality gates |
+
+## Environment Variables Summary
+
+| Variable | Required | Where to Get It |
+|----------|----------|-----------------|
+| `SLACK_CONNECTOR` | Yes | Connector UID from `vercel connect create slack` (e.g. `slack/my-agent`) |
+| `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN` | Auto | Injected in deployments; locally via `vercel env pull` (expires ~12h) |
+| `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` | Only if not using Vercel OIDC | Vercel dashboard > AI Gateway |
+
+**No Slack tokens needed** - Vercel Connect brokers short-lived Slack credentials at runtime (no `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` or `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`) and verifies webhooks for you. **Using Vercel AI Gateway with OIDC?** No AI API keys needed either.
