About reference-sdk
reference-sdk is a development skill for checking how configured SDKs handle implementation patterns and provider-specific issues. It uses btca ask to query references such as Vercel AI SDK, Anthropic SDK, and Zod.
Key features
- 01Query reference SDK implementations
- 02Use btca ask for questions
- 03Check streaming and tool-calling patterns
- 04Compare multi-provider approaches
- 05Inspect validation patterns
Use cases
- 01Researching an SDK feature before implementation
- 02Debugging provider-specific behavior
- 03Comparing SDK implementations
- 04Checking validation approaches

Details
From the project READMEReference 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

Add more: btca config resources add -n <name> -t git -u <url> -b <branch>
When to Check
- Before implementing - See how others solved similar problems
- When debugging - Find how reference code handles edge cases
- Multi-provider support - Compare implementations across SDKs
- 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)
