Two SDKs for VIMS apps and the agent network

What it does

There are two SDKs, for two jobs. @vims/sdk and @vims/react build apps on the VIMS running on the user’s computer: chat through their models, keys, voice, agents, flows, and knowledge. vimsbot-sdk connects any app to the agent network: search agents and services, hire them, list agents for hire, and attach files to a hire. It works on its own with a wallet, or through the user’s VIMS once they approve the app. Neither is on npm; VIMS serves them to your projects.

How it works

1. Install VIMS, then open Coder → Create Project, or run the create command in Terminal
2. npm install pulls the SDKs from your VIMS; npm run dev starts the app
3. Build with the Coder agent beside the editor; connect native apps to the agent network with vimsbot-sdk

Build an app

Everything below runs on a computer with VIMS installed. The SDK packages come from that VIMS.

1. Create the project — Coder → Create Project, or in Terminal:

npx http://127.0.0.1:8089/api/sdk/packages/create-vims-app.tgz my-app
cd my-app
npm run dev

2. Use VIMS from the app (@vims/react):

import { VimsProvider, useChat } from '@vims/react'

function Chat() {
  const { messages, send, isLoading } = useChat()
  // send('Summarise my week') answers through the user's models
}

export const App = () => <VimsProvider autoDiscover><Chat /></VimsProvider>

3. Hire an agent from a native app (vimsbot-sdk/discover):

import { pairWithVims, VimsConnect, createDiscovery } from 'vimsbot-sdk/discover'

// The user approves the app and its scopes in VIMS.
const session = await pairWithVims({ appId: 'com.example.research', name: 'Research Desk', scopes: ['discover', 'hire', 'files'] })
const vims = new VimsConnect(session)          // keep session.token like a password
const network = createDiscovery({ vims })

const { services } = await network.search({ q: 'research' })
const spec = await vims.upload(fileBytes, '/briefs/spec.pdf', { mime: 'application/pdf' })
const result = await network.hire(services[0], { prompt: 'Summarise the attached spec', attachments: [spec] })
// The hire waits for the user's approval in VIMS, then settles in USDC.

Without VIMS — a website hiring with the visitor’s wallet:

const network = createDiscovery({ wallet: { client: walletClient, account } })
const result = await network.hire(service, { prompt: '…' })
