@burtson-labs/core-chat

Shared chat message types and sanitizers used across every Bandit surface.

Tiny package, narrow surface — keeps every host on the same ChatMessage shape without dragging in the full runtime.

Install

pnpm add @burtson-labs/core-chat

Status

Stable. The type surface is intentionally narrow; expanding it requires coordinated PRs across the hosts that consume it (CLI, VS Code extension, web UI).

Quick example

import type { ChatMessage } from '@burtson-labs/core-chat';
import { sanitizeModelOutput } from '@burtson-labs/core-chat';

const messages: ChatMessage[] = [
  { role: 'system', content: 'You are Bandit.' },
  { role: 'user', content: 'Hi.' },
];

const cleaned = sanitizeModelOutput(rawModelText);

sanitizeModelOutput() is the canonical pass for stripping control tokens, tool-call envelope markup, and other model-emitted artifacts that should never reach the user's screen.
