  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads x-request automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

🎯 Skill Positioning

This skill focuses on solving: How to correctly configure XRequest to adapt to various streaming interface requirements.

PackageVersion RequirementAuto InstallPurpose
@ant-design/x-sdk≥2.2.2✅Core SDK, includes XRequest tool

🛠️ One-click Installation

# Recommended to use tnpm
tnpm install @ant-design/x-sdk

# Or use npm
npm add @ant-design/x-sdk

# Check version
npm ls @ant-design/x-sdk

Basic Configuration

Simplest Usage

import { XRequest } from '@ant-design/x-sdk';

// Minimal configuration: only need to provide API URL
const request = XRequest('https://api.example.com/chat');

// For manual control (used in Provider scenarios)
const providerRequest = XRequest('https://api.example.com/chat', {
  manual: true, // Usually only this needs explicit configuration
});

💡 Tip: XRequest has built-in reasonable default configurations. In most cases, you only need to provide the API URL to use it.

Environment Security Configuration

🌍 Security Strategies for Different Environments

Runtime EnvironmentSecurity LevelConfiguration MethodRisk Description
Browser Frontend🔴 High Risk❌ Prohibit key configurationKeys will be directly exposed to users
Node.js Backend🟢 Safe✅ Environment variable configurationKeys stored on server side
Proxy Service🟢 Safe✅ Same-origin proxy forwardingKeys managed by proxy service

🔐 Authentication Methods Comparison

Authentication MethodApplicable EnvironmentConfiguration ExampleSecurity
Bearer TokenNode.jsBearer ${process.env.API_KEY}✅ Safe
API Key HeaderNode.jsX-API-Key: ${process.env.KEY}✅ Safe
Proxy ForwardingBrowser/api/proxy/service✅ Safe
Direct ConfigurationBrowserBearer sk-xxx❌ Dangerous

🔍 Debugging and Testing

Debug Configuration

🛠️ Debug Templates

Node.js Debug Configuration:

// Safe debug configuration (Node.js environment)
const debugRequest = XRequest('https://your-api.com/chat', {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.DEBUG_API_KEY}`,
  },
  params: { query: 'test message' },
});

Frontend Debug Configuration:

// Safe debug configuration (frontend environment)
const debugRequest = XRequest('/api/debug/chat', {
  params: { query: 'test message' },
});

Configuration Validation

✅ Security Check Tools

// Security configuration validation function
const validateSecurity = (config: any) => {
  const isBrowser = typeof window !== 'undefined';
  const hasAuth = config.headers?.Authorization || config.headers?.authorization;

  if (isBrowser && hasAuth) {
    throw new Error(
      '❌ Frontend environment prohibits Authorization configuration, risk of key leakage!',
    );
  }

  console.log('✅ Security configuration check passed');
  return true;
};

// Usage example
validateSecurity({
  headers: {
    // Do not include Authorization
  },
});

📋 Usage Scenarios

Standalone Usage

🎯 Direct Request Initiation

import { XRequest } from '@ant-design/x-sdk';

// Test interface availability
const testRequest = XRequest('https://httpbin.org/post', {
  params: { test: 'data' },
});

// Send request immediately
const response = await testRequest();
console.log(response);

⚠️ useXChat Integration Security Warning

Important Warning: useXChat is only for frontend environments, XRequest configuration must not contain Authorization!

❌ Incorrect Configuration (Dangerous):

// Extremely dangerous: keys will be directly exposed to browser
const unsafeRequest = XRequest('https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions', {
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'Bearer sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', // ❌ Dangerous!
  },
  manual: true,
});

✅ Correct Configuration (Safe):

// Frontend security configuration: use proxy service
const safeRequest = XRequest('/api/proxy/openai', {
  params: {
    model: 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
    stream: true,
  },
  manual: true,
});

🚨 Development Rules

Test Case Rules

  • If the user does not explicitly need test cases, do not add test files
  • Only create test cases when the user explicitly requests them

Code Quality Rules

  • After completion, must check types: Run tsc --noEmit to ensure no type errors
  • Keep code clean: Remove all unused variables and imports

✅ Configuration Checklist

Before using XRequest, please confirm the following configurations are correctly set:

🔍 Configuration Checklist

Check ItemStatusDescription
API URL✅ Must ConfigureXRequest('https://api.xxx.com')
Auth Info⚠️ Environment RelatedFrontend❌Prohibited, Node.js✅Available
manual Config✅ Provider ScenarioIn Provider needs to be set to true, other scenarios need to be set according to actual situation
Other Config❌ No Need to ConfigureBuilt-in reasonable default values
Interface Availability✅ Recommended TestVerify with debug configuration

🛠️ Quick Verification Script

// Check configuration before running
const checkConfig = () => {
  const checks = [
    {
      name: 'Global Configuration',
      test: () => {
        // Check if global configuration has been set
        return true; // Check according to actual situation
      },
    },
    {
      name: 'Security Configuration',
      test: () => validateSecurity(globalConfig),
    },
    {
      name: 'Type Check',
      test: () => {
        // Run tsc --noEmit
        return true;
      },
    },
  ];

  checks.forEach((check) => {
    console.log(`${check.name}: ${check.test() ? '✅' : '❌'}`);
  });
};
