@slop-ai/core

@slop-ai/core is the shared package underneath the browser, server, and adapter SDKs. It does not create a transport or start a provider by itself. Instead, it exports the descriptor types, helper utilities, and tree-processing primitives used everywhere else.

bun add @slop-ai/core

What it exports

descriptor and wire types such as NodeDescriptor, ItemDescriptor, SlopNode, and Affordance
helper utilities such as pick(), omit(), and action()
provider base internals used by @slop-ai/client and @slop-ai/server
advanced tree helpers such as assembleTree(), diffNodes(), prepareTree(), and autoCompact()

import { action, pick } from "@slop-ai/core";

const noteDescriptor = {
  type: "item",
  props: pick(note, ["title", "done", "priority"]),
  actions: {
    rename: action({ title: "string" }, ({ title }) => renameNote(note.id, title)),
    delete: action(() => deleteNote(note.id), { dangerous: true }),
  },
};

Important boundary

createSlop() is exported by @slop-ai/client, not by @slop-ai/core.

createSlopServer() is exported by @slop-ai/server, not by @slop-ai/core.

Node Descriptor

This is the shape every adapter eventually feeds into the protocol layer.

interface NodeDescriptor {
  type: string;
  props?: Record<string, unknown>;
  items?: ItemDescriptor[];
  children?: Record<string, NodeDescriptor>;
  actions?: Record<string, Action>;
  meta?: { salience?: number; summary?: string };
}

Actions

action() helps you keep parameter typing close to the handler:

import { action } from "@slop-ai/core";

actions: {
  edit: action({ title: "string", content: "string" }, ({ title, content }) => {
    updateNote(id, title, content);
  }),
  delete: action(() => remove(id), { dangerous: true }),
}

Scaling helpers

The package also exports utilities for preparing large trees before they are sent to consumers:

prepareTree()
truncateTree()
filterTree()
autoCompact()
countNodes()
