# Blackbox AI Integrations

Blackbox AI integrates with 35+ IDEs, major version control platforms, project management tools, communication channels, CI/CD pipelines, and provides SDKs for Python, JavaScript, Java, and Go.

## When to Use This Skill

- Connecting Blackbox AI with your IDE (VS Code, JetBrains, Xcode, etc.)
- Integrating with GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket workflows
- Setting up Slack or Teams integration for agent notifications
- Connecting project management tools (Jira, Linear, Asana)
- Using the Python or JavaScript SDK
- Configuring CI/CD integration with GitHub Actions or Jenkins
- Setting up webhook-based automation

## Quick Start

### IDE Integration

Install the Blackbox AI extension for your IDE:

**VS Code:** Search "BLACKBOX AI" in Extensions marketplace

from blackbox_ai import BlackboxClient

client = BlackboxClient(api_key="your-key")
response = client.chat("Explain this code", context="def fib(n): ...")
print(response.content)
```

#### JavaScript/Node.js SDK

```typescript
// npm install @blackbox-ai/client
import { BlackboxClient } from "@blackbox-ai/client";

const client = new BlackboxClient({ apiKey: "your-key" });
const response = await client.chat("Explain this code", {
  context: "function fib(n) { ... }",
});
console.log(response.content);
```

### API Access

|----------|-------------|
| **REST API** | Primary API at `api.blackbox.ai` |
| **GraphQL** | Available for complex queries |
| **Webhooks** | Event-driven integrations |

## Common Patterns

### GitHub + Slack Workflow

```
1. Connect GitHub repo to Blackbox AI
2. Configure Slack webhook for notifications
3. Agent creates PR on GitHub
4. Notification sent to Slack channel
5. Team reviews and merges
```

### Jira-Driven Development

```
1. Connect Jira project
2. Agent reads Jira ticket requirements
3. Automatically creates feature branch
4. Implements the feature
5. Creates PR linked to Jira ticket
```

### SDK Integration in CI/CD

```yaml
# .github/workflows/code-review.yml
name: AI Code Review
on: [pull_request]
jobs:
  review:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - run: pip install blackbox-ai-sdk
      - run: python scripts/ai-review.py
        env:
          BLACKBOX_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.BLACKBOX_API_KEY }}
```

## Troubleshooting

| Issue | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| IDE extension not loading | Restart IDE, check for updates |
| GitHub webhook not firing | Verify webhook URL and secret |
| Slack notifications missing | Check bot permissions and channel |
| SDK authentication error | Verify API key is valid |
| CI/CD integration fails | Check environment variable is set |
