What it does
Chat SDK is an agent skill from vercel/vercel-plugin, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Vercel Chat SDK expert guidance. Use when building multi-platform chat bots — Slack, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, GitHub, Linear — with a single codebase. Covers the Chat class, adapters, threads, messages, cards, modals, streaming, state management, and webhook setup.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `overlay.yaml`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering State management and Webhooks. It works with Vercel, Slack, Vercel AI SDK and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive Vercel ecosystem plugin — relational knowledge graph, skills for every major product, specialized agents, and Vercel conventions. Turns any AI agent into a Vercel…
When your agent uses it
- Building multi-platform chat bots — Slack
- Microsoft Teams
- Linear — with a single codebase
Example prompts
- “/chat-sdk”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY
- A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82fa491. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npxnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
vercel.comchat-sdk.dev
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
Chat SDK loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 777 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 777 words (~2,891 tokens).
“Unified TypeScript SDK for building chat bots across Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord, Telegram, GitHub, Linear, WhatsApp, and more. Write your bot logic once, deploy everywhere.”
