What it does

Journey AI is an agent skill from butterbase-ai/butterbase-skills. Use as the AI build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the AI section of 02-plan.md by delegating to the ai skill. Calls manageai (updateconfig) to set defaults and optionally BYOK. Skipped if the plan has no LLM/embeddings usage.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Embeddings. The repository describes itself as: Plugin for Butterbase.ai. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Embeddings

Example prompts

  • “/journey-ai”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Refresh docs. Call butterbase_docs with topic: "ai". For BYOK and model lists, also WebFetch https://docs.butterbase.ai/ai. Skip if cache…
  2. Read the AI section. Print it back: "About to configure AI: default model=, BYOK=. Proceed?". Wait for yes.
  3. Invoke butterbase-skills:ai via the Skill tool with the AI plan and app_id. The wrapped skill calls manage_ai action: update_config (and…
  4. Smoke: call manage_ai action: chat with a tiny prompt ("say ok") to confirm the gateway responds.
  5. Append one line to docs/butterbase/04-build-log.md
  6. Tick - [x] ai in 00-state.md, set current_stage: to the next unchecked stage.
  7. Return to journey orchestrator (or ask "Continue to the next stage? (yes/no)").

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa8ae69. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • docs.butterbase.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Journey AI loads about 490 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 217 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~490

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use as the AI build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the AI section of 02-plan.md by delegating to the ai skill. Calls manage_ai (update_config) to set defaults and optionally BYOK. Skipped if the plan has no LLM/embeddings usage.

Journey: AI

Stage 3f of the guided journey. Configure AI gateway defaults (model, BYOK).

When to use

  • Dispatched by journey when current_stage: ai.
  • Directly via /butterbase-skills:journey-ai.
  • Skipped (annotated (n/a)) if the plan has no AI section.

Preflight

If docs/butterbase/03-preflight.md is missing, older than 24 hours, or 00-state.md has app_id: null, invoke butterbase-skills:journey-preflight first. Wait for it to return successfully before proceeding.

Inputs

  • docs/butterbase/02-plan.md — the AI section.
  • docs/butterbase/00-state.md — for app_id.

Procedure

  1. Refresh docs. Call butterbase_docs with topic: "ai". For BYOK and model lists, also WebFetch https://docs.butterbase.ai/ai. Skip if cache is fresh.

  2. Read the AI section. Print it back: "About to configure AI: default model=<m>, BYOK=<yes/no>. Proceed?". Wait for yes.

  3. Invoke butterbase-skills:ai via the Skill tool with the AI plan and app_id. The wrapped skill calls manage_ai action: update_config (and per-provider key updates if BYOK).

  4. Smoke: call manage_ai action: chat with a tiny prompt ("say ok") to confirm the gateway responds.

  5. Append one line to docs/butterbase/04-build-log.md: <ISO timestamp> ai manage_ai ok

  6. Tick - [x] ai in 00-state.md, set current_stage: to the next unchecked stage.

  7. Return to journey orchestrator (or ask "Continue to the next stage? (yes/no)").

Outputs

  • Configured AI gateway defaults.
  • One line in 04-build-log.md.

Anti-patterns

  • ❌ Echoing BYOK keys back to the user.
  • ❌ Picking a model not in manage_ai action: list_models — list first.
