When to use this skill
Use this skill for calling AI models in browser/Web applications via @cloudbase/js-sdk.
🧭 Runtime-plane default for Web. Any time the user's request is framed around a page, a Web app, the frontend, React/Vue/Next/Nuxt, a dashboard UI, or "add AI to my H5", this skill is the default routing target. Do NOT first propose a Node.js / cloud-function / CloudRun proxy;@cloudbase/js-sdkcan call the model from the browser directly. Only switch toai-model-nodejsif the user explicitly asks for a backend/server call, image generation, or a scenario that truly needs server-side keys or long-running work. This decision is independent of which concrete model the user picks — model names (deepseek-*,glm-*,hunyuan-*,kimi-*, …) only affect themodelfield, not the routing plane.
Use it when you need to:
- Integrate AI text generation into a frontend Web app
- Stream AI responses for a better UX
- Call Hunyuan / DeepSeek / GLM / Kimi / MiniMax models from the browser
Do NOT use for:
- Node.js backend or cloud functions → use the
ai-model-nodejsskill - WeChat Mini Program → use the
ai-model-wechatskill - Image generation → use the
ai-model-nodejsskill (Node SDK only) - Runtimes without a CloudBase SDK (native apps, Python, Go, etc.) → use the
http-apiskill (it now includes theai_modelOpenAPI spec for direct HTTP calls; do NOT build a custom HTTP proxy)

⛔ STOP — ai.createModel(...) argument is not a vendor / model name
Read this before writing any createModel(...) line. The single most common mistake when agents generate code for this SDK is hallucinating the argument. There are exactly three legal shapes. Anything else is a bug.
✅ Legal ai.createModel(...) argument | When to use it |
|---|---|
"cloudbase" | The main managed group for new projects (TokenHub-backed, multi-vendor pool). Vendor + concrete model go into the `model` field of generateText / streamText, e.g. { model: "deepseek-v4-flash" }. No model is enabled by default — always check `DescribeAIModels` first and, if the target model is missing, enable it with `UpdateAIModel` before calling the SDK. |
"hunyuan-exp" | Only if DescribeAIModels explicitly returns this legacy builtin group for the current env (mainly the Mini Program Growth Plan — see ai-model-wechat). |
"custom-<your-name>" | A user-defined GroupName you onboarded via CreateAIModel. Must start with custom- (e.g. custom-kimi, custom-openai-compat). |
❌ Do NOT write any of these — they are all wrong
ai.createModel("deepseek") // wrong — that's a vendor, not a GroupName
ai.createModel("deepseek-v4-flash") // wrong — that's a model name, goes in the `model` field
ai.createModel("hunyuan") // wrong — vendor family, not a GroupName
ai.createModel("hunyuan-2.0-instruct-20251111") // wrong — model name
ai.createModel("glm") / ai.createModel("kimi") / ai.createModel("minimax") // wrong — vendor names
ai.createModel("openai") / ai.createModel("moonshot") // wrong — vendor names
ai.createModel("custom") // wrong — placeholder; use your real custom-<name>
ai.createModel(modelName) // wrong — do not reuse the variable that holds the model id✅ Correct pattern — GroupName vs Model are two different fields
const model = ai.createModel("cloudbase"); // ← GroupName
await model.generateText({
model: "deepseek-v4-flash", // ← concrete model id
messages: [...]
});Decision procedure (when the user names a specific model)
1. The user says "use DeepSeek v3.2" / "use hunyuan instruct" / "use Kimi k2.6" / "use GLM-5" / … 2. createModel("cloudbase") stays the same. 3. Put the model id into the `model` field: { model: "deepseek-v3.2" }, { model: "hunyuan-2.0-instruct-20251111" }, { model: "kimi-k2.6" }, { model: "glm-5" }, … 4. Never assume the model is already enabled. Before writing the SDK call, verify it is present in DescribeAIModels({ GroupName: "cloudbase" }).Models[]. If missing, call DescribeManagedAIModelList to confirm the exact Model name the platform supports (case-sensitive — do not guess the spelling), then enable it via UpdateAIModel with Status: 1 (remember Models is a full replacement, so resend everything already enabled + the new one).
If you are about to type ai.createModel( and the thing inside the parentheses is a vendor name, a model name, or a guess — stop. It is almost certainly one of the three legal values above.---
Mandatory Two-Step Preflight (before any SDK code)
Before generating any AI-related SDK code, run the two-step preflight: ① eligibility, ② group readiness. Emitting createModel(...) straight away and letting the user debug runtime errors is significantly more costly.
Step 0: obtain the environment ID
Call the MCP tool envQuery with action=info and read EnvId from the response. Every subsequent check and purchase link uses this EnvId.
---
Preflight ① — Eligibility (Token Credits resource pack)
Call the MCP tool:
callCloudApi(service="tcb", action="DescribeEnvPostpayPackage", params={ EnvId })Pass conditions (all required):
envPostpayPackageInfoListcontains at least one entry- That entry's
postpayPackageIdstarts withpkg_tcb_tokencredits_ - That entry's
statusis NOT in[3, 4](3 / 4 typically mean expired / disabled; trust the live response)
- ❌ Not satisfied → stop writing code and surface this to the user (replacing
{envId}with the real id):
The current environment has no active Token Credits resource pack. Please purchase one before calling any AI API:
https://buy.cloud.tencent.com/lowcode?buyType=resPack&envId={envId}&resourceType=token
>
Let me know once it's done and I'll re-check the resource pack status.
- ✅ Satisfied → proceed to preflight ②.
Parameter casing is PascalCase by contract. If the call returnsInvalidParameter, fall back to camelCase (envId/envPostpayPackageInfoList) and trust the live response. For the Mini Program scenario there is an additional growth-plan branch — switch to theai-model-wechatskill.
---
Preflight ② — Group readiness (DescribeAIModels → UpdateAIModel if needed)
Eligibility alone is not enough. Do not write `createModel("cloudbase")` yet. First confirm that the target GroupName exists in the env with Status=1, and that the target Model is present in its Models[].
1. List groups configured in the current env:
callCloudApi(service="tcb", action="DescribeAIModels", params={ EnvId })Returns AIModelGroups: AIModelGroup[], where each AIModelGroup includes GroupName, Type (builtin / custom), Models: [{ Model, EnableMCP, Tags }], Status (1 = on / 2 = off), BaseUrl, Secret, Remark. The main managed GroupName is cloudbase.
2. Never assume a model is already enabled. Inspect AIModelGroups[?].Models[].Model for the cloudbase group. If the target model (or, when the user did not specify one, the model you intend to default to such as deepseek-v4-flash) is missing, jump to step 4 and enable it — do not call createModel("cloudbase") yet. If the cloudbase group itself is missing or has Status=2, also jump to step 4.
3. User asked for a model that belongs to the managed catalog (e.g. deepseek-v3.2, hunyuan-2.0-instruct-20251111, glm-5, kimi-k2.6, …): check whether that Model is already in the cloudbase group's Models[]. If not, jump to step 4. Do not guess the exact model id — verify the canonical spelling in DescribeManagedAIModelList first (step 4 covers this).
4. Enable / add a managed model (always inspect the authoritative catalog + pricing first):
callCloudApi(service="tcb", action="DescribeManagedAIModelList", params={ EnvId })Returns ManagedAIModelGroup[], where each group lists GroupName (e.g. cloudbase), Remark, and Models: [{ Model, EnableMCP, ModelSpec{ContextLength, MaxInputToken, MaxOutputToken}, ModelChargingInfo[{Type, InputPrice, OutputPrice, InputOutputUnit, CachePrice}] }]. This is the single source of truth for supported model names and pricing — do not infer them from memory. Use the exact `Model` string returned here when calling `UpdateAIModel`. Also surface the prices to the user before enabling.
Then enable (note: Models is a full replacement — always resend the already-enabled models together with the new one):
callCloudApi(service="tcb", action="UpdateAIModel", params={
EnvId,
GroupName: "cloudbase",
Models: [
// resend every model that DescribeAIModels already showed as enabled
{ Model: "<already-enabled model, e.g. deepseek-v4-flash>" },
// append the newly-requested one, using the exact spelling from DescribeManagedAIModelList
{ Model: "<target model>" }
],
Status: 1
})5. The requested model is not in the managed catalog (not found by DescribeManagedAIModelList) → jump to the next section, Custom onboarding (models outside the managed catalog).
All Actions useservice=tcb,Version=2018-06-08. Parameters are PascalCase (EnvId/GroupName/Models/Status). Fall back to camelCase only if the call returnsInvalidParameter.
---
Available Providers and Models
ai.createModel(<GroupName>) accepts exactly three kinds of legal values:
1. "cloudbase" — the main managed group (recommended)
GroupName: "cloudbase",Type: "builtin",Remark: "腾讯云开发"(Tencent CloudBase)- Backed by Tencent Cloud TokenHub, a unified managed pool covering multiple vendors — Hunyuan (HY 2.0 Instruct, HY 2.0 Think, Hunyuan-role, Hy3 preview, …), DeepSeek (DeepSeek-V4-Pro, DeepSeek-V4-Flash, Deepseek-v3.2, Deepseek-v3.1, Deepseek-r1-0528, Deepseek-v3-0324, …), Zhipu GLM (GLM-5, GLM-5-Turbo, GLM-5.1, GLM-5V-Turbo), Kimi (K2.5, K2.6), MiniMax (M2.5, M2.7), and more. The roster evolves — do not hard-code specific SKUs in application code; discover at runtime.
- No model is enabled by default. Always call
DescribeAIModelsfirst to see what the env has actually enabled; if your target model is missing, callDescribeManagedAIModelListfor the authoritative catalog + pricing and thenUpdateAIModel(Status: 1,Modelsfull-replacement) to enable it before making the SDK call. - Authoritative catalog + pricing:
DescribeManagedAIModelList - Env-enabled set:
DescribeAIModels
2. "hunyuan-exp" — legacy builtin group (kept for compatibility)
- Primarily relevant to the Mini Program Growth Plan scenario; do not use from Web unless the env explicitly still has it (switch to the
ai-model-wechatskill for that flow) - Default model:
hunyuan-2.0-instruct-20251111; additional hunyuan SKUs must be discovered at runtime viaDescribeAIModels({ GroupName: "hunyuan-exp" }).Models[]— do not hard-code other IDs
3. User-defined GroupName
- Onboarded via
CreateAIModel(see the next section). The customGroupNameMUST start with `custom-` (e.g.custom-kimi,custom-moonshot,custom-openai-compat). This naming convention prevents future collisions with built-in / vendor GroupNames (cloudbase,hunyuan-exp,deepseek,glm,kimi,minimax, …) that the platform may introduce over time - Examples:
createModel("custom-kimi"),createModel("custom-openai-compat")
Never write guesses likecreateModel("deepseek")orcreateModel("custom")unlessDescribeAIModelsexplicitly returned that exactGroupName(old envs may still carry historicaldeepseek/hunyuan-expbuiltin groups — that stays legal for compatibility, but new projects should always go throughcloudbase).
---
Custom onboarding (models outside the managed catalog)
When the user wants to call a non-managed model (self-hosted, enterprise-internal, third-party OpenAI-compatible endpoint, …), do not block. Guide them through onboarding:
Option 1: console flow (recommended, user handles it)
https://tcb.cloud.tencent.com/dev?envId={envId}#/ai
Option 2: programmatic onboarding (CreateAIModel)
callCloudApi(service="tcb", action="CreateAIModel", params={
EnvId: "<envId>",
GroupName: "custom-<your-name>", // MUST start with "custom-" (e.g. custom-kimi, custom-openai-compat); never start with "cloudbase"
BaseUrl: "<OpenAI-compatible endpoint, e.g. https://api.moonshot.cn/v1>",
Models: [
{ Model: "<model name, e.g. kimi-k2.5>", EnableMCP: true }
],
Remark: "<optional remark>",
Status: 1,
Secret: { ApiKey: "<vendor api key supplied by the user>" }
})Once onboarded, confirm with DescribeAIModels that the group is ready, then call ai.createModel("<the GroupName you just registered>") from your code. Use UpdateAIModel to add/remove models, rotate keys, or change BaseUrl (remember Models is a full replacement). Use DeleteAIModel to remove a custom group (builtin groups cannot be deleted).
Custom-model billing is covered by the third-party provider and does not draw from the Token Credits resource pack. Field casing follows the live contract — fall back to camelCase on InvalidParameter.---
Installation
npm install @cloudbase/js-sdkInitialization
⚠️ Do not use anonymous sign-in as the default. Anonymous login is disabled by default for new environments, and inactive existing environments have also been automatically disabled. Even when anonymous login is manually enabled, anonymous users are denied AI model invocation permissions by default. The AI-model skill does not prescribe a specific login UI — delegate that concern:
>
- Enabling / configuring login providers (phone SMS, email, WeChat Open Platform, username+password, OAuth, …) → follow the `auth-tool` skill (backend config via callCloudApi).- Building the actual sign-in flow in the browser (login form, callbacks, session guarding) → follow the `auth-web` skill (@cloudbase/js-sdkauth API, e.g.signInWithPassword,signInWithPhone,getSession).
>
Do not fall back to signInAnonymously() for AI features — anonymous users cannot call AI models. Only use anonymous login for non-AI read-only demos where the user explicitly requests it and accepts the trade-off.import cloudbase from "@cloudbase/js-sdk";
const app = cloudbase.init({
env: "<YOUR_ENV_ID>",
accessKey: "<YOUR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY>" // Get it from the CloudBase console
});
const auth = app.auth();
// CRITICAL: Use auth.getSession() to check login — NOT the deprecated getLoginState().
// getLoginState() returns uid even without real login (just accessKey), causing false positives.
// getSession() returns data.session === undefined when no real login exists.
// Anonymous users are DENIED AI model permissions — calling AI without real login will fail.
const { data: sessionData } = await auth.getSession();
if (!sessionData?.session || sessionData.session.user?.is_anonymous) {
// No real login or anonymous session — route to sign-in page
window.location.href = "/login";
return;
}
const ai = app.ai();Important notes:
- Use synchronous initialization with a top-level import
- `accessKey` causes `getLoginState()` to return misleading auth data — the deprecated
getLoginState()returns an object withuideven without real login, which breaks naive!!loginStatechecks. Useauth.getSession()instead: it returnsdata.session === undefinedwhen no real login exists, so!!data.sessionis a reliable auth gate. - The user MUST be authenticated with a verified login (phone, email, WeChat, username+password, custom) before using AI features. Anonymous users are denied AI model permissions. The exact flow is the responsibility of the
auth-webskill. - Get
accessKeyfrom the CloudBase console

generateText() — non-streaming
Prerequisite: the two-step preflight (eligibility + group readiness) has passed, and the target model has been confirmed present inDescribeAIModels({ GroupName: "cloudbase" }).Models[]— if it was not, it should already have been enabled viaUpdateAIModel. The example below usesdeepseek-v4-flashonly for illustration; substitute the actual model the user asked for.
const model = ai.createModel("cloudbase");
const result = await model.generateText({
model: "deepseek-v4-flash", // must already be enabled in this env (DescribeAIModels → UpdateAIModel)
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Give me a one-paragraph intro to Li Bai." }],
});
console.log(result.text); // generated text string
console.log(result.usage); // { prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens }
console.log(result.messages); // full message history
console.log(result.rawResponses); // raw model responses---
streamText() — streaming
Prerequisite: the two-step preflight has passed.
const model = ai.createModel("cloudbase");
const res = await model.streamText({
model: "deepseek-v4-flash",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Give me a one-paragraph intro to Li Bai." }],
});
// Option 1: iterate the text stream (recommended)
for await (let text of res.textStream) {
console.log(text); // incremental text chunks
}
// Option 2: iterate the data stream for full response chunks
for await (let data of res.dataStream) {
console.log(data); // full response chunk with metadata
}
// Option 3: access final results
const messages = await res.messages; // full message history
const usage = await res.usage; // token usage---
Error Handling Pattern
const model = ai.createModel("cloudbase");
try {
const result = await model.generateText({
model: "deepseek-v4-flash",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Generate a concise onboarding checklist." }],
});
console.log(result.text);
} catch (error) {
console.error("Failed to call CloudBase AI from Web", error);

Best Practices
1. Run the two-step preflight first — ① eligibility (Token Credits resource pack via DescribeEnvPostpayPackage) + ② group readiness (DescribeAIModels to inspect what is enabled, DescribeManagedAIModelList for the authoritative supported-model catalog, UpdateAIModel with a full-replacement Models[] and Status: 1 when the target model is missing). Skipping preflight leads straight to "model not found" / "model not enabled" errors at runtime. 2. Never assume any model is already enabled — not deepseek-v4-flash, not hunyuan-*, not anything. Always verify with DescribeAIModels first; if the target is missing, look up the exact Model string in DescribeManagedAIModelList (do not guess the spelling or invent vendor prefixes) and then UpdateAIModel to enable it. 3. `createModel` accepts exactly three kinds of values — "cloudbase" (the main managed group), "hunyuan-exp" (legacy builtin, Growth Plan scenarios), or a user-defined GroupName registered via CreateAIModel (MUST start with `custom-`, e.g. custom-kimi, custom-openai-compat). Never guess with createModel("deepseek") / createModel("kimi") / createModel("custom"). 4. Do not invent SDK method names or parameters. This SKILL.md is the authoritative reference for @cloudbase/js-sdk's AI surface — look up the method signature here (or in the Type Definitions section below) before writing code. If a method or field is not documented here, stop and ask, or check the live contract via the MCP tools. No guessing. 5. Show pricing before enabling a new managed model — DescribeManagedAIModelList returns ModelSpec (context length, max input/output tokens) + ModelChargingInfo (input / output / cache prices, billing unit). Surface the prices to the user before calling UpdateAIModel. 6. Use streaming for long responses — better perceived latency and interactivity. 7. Handle errors gracefully — wrap AI calls in try/catch. 8. Keep `accessKey` safe — use a publishable key, never a secret key. 9. Initialize early — set up the SDK at app entry so auth and AI are both ready before routing. 10. Do NOT use anonymous auth for AI features — anonymous login is disabled by default for new environments, and anonymous users are denied AI model permissions. Require a verified sign-in (phone, email, username+password, WeChat, custom) before calling any AI API. Delegate provider configuration to the auth-tool skill and the browser sign-in flow to the auth-web skill; the AI-model skill checks auth.getSession() and verifies loginType before gating the call. 11. Distinguish "preflight failure" from "model call failure" — the former means the user needs to buy a resource pack or call UpdateAIModel; the latter is a prompt / parameter / network issue. Give the user different guidance for each. 12. TypeScript: do NOT use `any` to silence type errors from the SDK. The SDK ships its own types; if an error shows up, narrow with unknown + a type guard, write a precise interface for the shape you actually consume, or augment types in a local .d.ts. Never : any, as any, @ts-ignore, or @ts-nocheck. See the Engineering constitution in the web-development skill. 13. Self-verify before claiming done. Run tsc --noEmit + the project build + open the page with agent-browser and actually trigger the AI call. Confirm: (a) the text stream reaches the UI, (b) no new console errors, (c) result.usage is non-zero. Saying "it should work" without evidence is not acceptable — follow web-development/browser-testing.md.
