Reference SDK Check

When implementing SDK features or debugging provider-specific issues, check reference implementations.

When to Use

• Implementing SDK features
• Debugging provider-specific issues
• Understanding how other libraries solve similar problems
• "How does Vercel AI SDK do X?"
• "Check Anthropic SDK for Y"

Commands

Use `btca ask` to check how reference SDKs implement similar features:

# Check Vercel AI SDK for streaming patterns
btca ask -r vercel-ai -q "How does streamObject work?"

# Check Anthropic SDK for tool calling
btca ask -r anthropic-sdk -q "How are tools defined and called?"

# Check Zod for validation patterns
btca ask -r zod -q "How does safeParse handle errors?"

Configured Resources

• `vercel-ai` - Streaming, tool calling, structured output
• `anthropic-sdk` - Anthropic API patterns
• `zod` - Schema validation

Add more: `btca config resources add -n <name> -t git -u <url> -b <branch>`

When to Check

1. **Before implementing** - See how others solved similar problems 2. **When debugging** - Find how reference code handles edge cases 3. **Multi-provider support** - Compare implementations across SDKs 4. **Validation patterns** - Check idiomatic approaches

Don't Use For

• Documentation lookups (use /nia-docs instead)
• Simple API questions (use WebSearch)
• Project-specific patterns (use Grep/Glob)
