journey-ai

Use as the AI build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the AI section of 02-plan.md by delegating to the ai skill. Calls manage_ai (update_config) to set defaults and optionally BYOK. Skipped if the plan has no LLM/embeddings usage.

Full skill instructions

Journey: AI

Stage 3f of the guided journey. Configure AI gateway defaults (model, BYOK).

When to use

  • Dispatched by journey when current_stage: ai.
  • Directly via /butterbase-skills:journey-ai.
  • Skipped (annotated (n/a)) if the plan has no AI section.

Preflight

If docs/butterbase/03-preflight.md is missing, older than 24 hours, or 00-state.md has app_id: null, invoke butterbase-skills:journey-preflight first. Wait for it to return successfully before proceeding.

Inputs

  • docs/butterbase/02-plan.md — the AI section.
  • docs/butterbase/00-state.md — for app_id.

Procedure

  1. Refresh docs. Call butterbase_docs with topic: "ai". For BYOK and model lists, also WebFetch https://docs.butterbase.ai/ai. Skip if cache is fresh.

  2. Read the AI section. Print it back: "About to configure AI: default model=<m>, BYOK=<yes/no>. Proceed?". Wait for yes.

  3. Invoke butterbase-skills:ai via the Skill tool with the AI plan and app_id. The wrapped skill calls manage_ai action: update_config (and per-provider key updates if BYOK).

  4. Smoke: call manage_ai action: chat with a tiny prompt ("say ok") to confirm the gateway responds.

  5. Append one line to docs/butterbase/04-build-log.md: <ISO timestamp> ai manage_ai ok

  6. Tick - [x] ai in 00-state.md, set current_stage: to the next unchecked stage.

  7. Return to journey orchestrator (or ask "Continue to the next stage? (yes/no)").

Outputs

  • Configured AI gateway defaults.
  • One line in 04-build-log.md.

Anti-patterns

  • ❌ Echoing BYOK keys back to the user.
  • ❌ Picking a model not in manage_ai action: list_models — list first.
