## What it does

customware-ai defines how to connect the Customware AI Gateway to a React Router and Hono application. The server uses AI SDK with `@openrouter/ai-sdk-provider`; AI Elements handles chat UI in the SPA. The skill also covers model selection, server tools, and typed JSON output with Zod.

The gateway is called from server code, while the browser uses the app’s own Hono endpoint. The secret must come from `CUSTOMWARE_AI_GATEWAY_KEY` and stay out of client bundles, logs, and API responses. Dependency installation requires `pnpm`; the workflow includes a live check for a selected model and a separate structured-output check.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add customware-ai/skills --skill customware-ai -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/customware-ai/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/customware-ai/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add customware-ai/skills --skill customware-ai -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/customware-ai/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add customware-ai/skills --skill customware-ai -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/customware-ai/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install customware-ai/skills customware-ai
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/customware-ai/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add customware-ai/skills --skill customware-ai -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/customware-ai/skills --path skills/customware-ai
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/customware-ai/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add customware-ai/skills --skill customware-ai -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/customware-ai/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/customware-ai/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- add an AI chat to a React Router SPA
- connect text generation through Hono
- keep model selection on the server
- return JSON that follows a Zod schema
- expose app data through a server-side tool

## Example prompts
- Add an AI chat to the React Router SPA through a Hono endpoint and use AI Elements.
- Set up typed JSON generation with `Output.object` and one shared Zod schema.
- Connect a server-side tool for app data and run the live check for the selected model.

description: Use this skill when adding or changing AI chat, text generation, reasoning, tools, model selection, or structured JSON output in a Customware-generated React Router and Hono app. It covers the server-only Customware AI Gateway, AI SDK with the OpenRouter adapter, AI Elements UI, supported model choices, and mandatory live model and structured-output checks.

# Customware AI

Build AI features through the Customware AI Gateway. Use AI SDK on the Hono backend and AI Elements in the React Router SPA when a chat UI is needed.

**Preflight security rule:** Treat `.env` and every `.env.*` file as inaccessible. Do not read, list, search, preview, or request permission for them. Only a runtime command using `node --env-file=.env ...` may reference `.env`, and that command must not print environment values.

This is the single skill for the complete integration. Do not install or ask the agent to use a separate AI Elements skill; the relevant AI Elements guidance is adapted into this skill's references.

## Read First

- Always read [references/gateway-backend.md](references/gateway-backend.md).
- Always read [references/models.md](references/models.md).
- For chat or other conversational UI, read [references/ai-elements-ui.md](references/ai-elements-ui.md).
- For server tools, tool-backed chat, or any AI action that fetches live app data, read [references/tool-usage.md](references/tool-usage.md).
- For card-style AI UI, tool-rendered UI, typed message parts, or streamed custom UI state, read [references/generative-ui.md](references/generative-ui.md).
- For AI UI, read [references/ai-elements-catalog.md](references/ai-elements-catalog.md), select the needed components, then read only those linked files under `references/components/`. Open a component's linked example files only while implementing it. Never load the entire components folder or all examples.
- For JSON or other typed output, read [references/structured-output.md](references/structured-output.md).
- When starting from bundled code, read [references/examples.md](references/examples.md).
- Before finishing any implementation, read and follow [references/verification.md](references/verification.md).

## Non-Negotiables

- Call the Customware AI Gateway only from server code. Browser code calls the app's own Hono endpoint.
- Read the gateway secret only from `CUSTOMWARE_AI_GATEWAY_KEY`.
- Never expose the key through `VITE_*`, browser bundles, API responses, logs, HTML, or client-side state.
- Never read `.env` or any `.env.*` file with a file/tool read, and never request permission to do so. Never run `cat`, `head`, `tail`, `sed`, `awk`, `rg`, `grep`, `ls`, `stat`, or any other command against `.env`. The only allowed reference is a check command whose argument is exactly `node --env-file=.env ...`; that command must not print environment variables. Never inspect the key by printing `printenv`, request headers, or provider objects. Log only non-sensitive pass/fail evidence.
- Hardcode the Customware gateway base URL in server code. Do not add a gateway URL environment variable.
- Use this exact adapter base URL:
```
