Journey AI

File contents

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

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.
Read the AI section. Print it back: "About to configure AI: default model=<m>, BYOK=<yes/no>. Proceed?". Wait for yes.
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).
Smoke: call manage_ai action: chat with a tiny prompt ("say ok") to confirm the gateway responds.
Append one line to docs/butterbase/04-build-log.md: <ISO timestamp> ai manage_ai ok
Tick - [x] ai in 00-state.md, set current_stage: to the next unchecked stage.
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.
