What This Skill Does

The ydc-ai-sdk-integration skill is a specialized OpenClaw tool designed to streamline the incorporation of You.com AI capabilities into applications built with the Vercel AI SDK. By automating the boilerplate setup and tool configuration, this skill allows developers to seamlessly add advanced functionalities like real-time web search (youSearch), intelligent AI agent workflows (youExpress), and precise content extraction (youContents) to their existing or new AI projects. It acts as an interactive assistant that walks you through package installation, environment variable management, and the specific syntax requirements for generateText and streamText patterns, ensuring your integration is both idiomatic and functional.

Installation

To begin, ensure you have the OpenClaw agent running. Install the skill by running the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/edwardirby/ydc-ai-sdk-integration

Once installed, invoke the skill simply by mentioning your desire to integrate You.com tools into your Vercel AI SDK codebase. The skill will prompt you for your preferred package manager (npm, yarn, pnpm, or bun), API key source, and specific project architecture.

Use Cases

• Research Agents: Augment your LLM responses with live, up-to-date web search results retrieved via youSearch.
• Content Aggregation: Use youContents to parse complex URLs or long-form documentation into structured data for your AI application.
• Complex Reasoning Chains: Deploy youExpress to enable the AI to handle multi-step tasks requiring external tool execution.
• Modernizing Legacy AI Apps: Retrofit existing Vercel AI SDK implementations with superior searching capabilities without rewriting core logic.

Example Prompts

1. "I'm building a chatbot using the Vercel AI SDK. Can you help me integrate the You.com search tool into my streamText function?"
2. "I need to add youExpress and youContents to my existing Next.js project. Can you guide me through the setup using pnpm?"
3. "How do I configure my environment variables to use a custom key name for the you-ai-sdk-plugin in my TypeScript project?"

Tips & Limitations

• Model Compatibility: When using streamText with specific providers like Anthropic, remember to incorporate the stopWhen parameter for better cost efficiency and response control.
• API Keys: Ensure your YDC_API_KEY is kept secure in environment files. Do not hardcode these keys directly into your application components.
• Scope: This skill is specifically optimized for @youdotcom-oss/ai-sdk-plugin. If you are using a different AI provider framework, manual adjustments to the imported tools may be required. Always review the generated code snippets before deploying to production environments.
