+ # Texts
2
+
3
+ Every text the chat shows has a key, such as `composer.placeholder`. The library ships each text in English and Polish, and you can replace any of them per bot. The keys are public API ([ADR-0006](https://github.com/boldare/askdare/blob/main/docs/adr/0006-support-matrix-and-versioning.md)), so you can rely on them in your configuration.
4
+
5
+ The keys cover the chat and the launcher on your page: `launcher.*`, and `header.title`, which also names the chat dialog. A key named after an error code, such as `error.rate_limited`, is the text the widget shows for that code; some errors have a more specific key, such as `error.conversationTooLong`. The server sends these keys with its errors ([Wire protocol](protocol.md#error-keys-and-parameters)).
6
+
7
+ ## Override texts
8
+
9
+ Set `widget.texts` in `defineBot`:
10
+
11
+ ```ts
12
+ defineBot({
13
+ // …
14
+ widget: {
15
+ texts: {
16
+ 'composer.placeholder': 'Ask about plans, support or security…',
17
+ 'launcher.label': 'Questions?',
18
+ 'message.attachments.one': '{count} file',
19
+ 'message.attachments.other': '{count} files',
20
+ },
21
+ },
22
+ });
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ - **Keys.** Only the keys in the table below are accepted. An unknown key, or a text that is empty or longer than 300 characters, makes `defineBot` throw at startup.
26
+ - **Shortcuts.** `title`, `greeting`, `placeholder` and `launcherLabel` set `header.title`, `welcome.greeting`, `composer.placeholder` and `launcher.label`. If you set a shortcut and the same key in `texts`, the shortcut wins.
27
+ - **Every language.** An override replaces the text in every language. With `locale: 'auto'`, Polish visitors see your override too.
28
+ - **Placeholders.** Words in braces, such as `{count}`, `{name}`, `{size}` and `{max}`, are filled in by the widget. Keep the ones the default text has. A placeholder the widget doesn't fill for that key is shown as typed.
29
+ - **Bold.** In `welcome.greeting`, `**words**` are shown in bold.
30
+
31
+ A page can still set its own greeting with `askdare('configure', { greeting })`; see [Styling](styling.md#3-page-javascript).
32
+
33
+ ## Languages
34
+
35
+ `widget.locale` picks the language:
36
+
37
+ | Value | Texts |
38
+ | --- | --- |
39
+ | `'en'` (default) | English |
40
+ | A Polish tag, such as `'pl'` or `'pl-PL'` | Polish |
41
+ | Any other BCP 47 tag, such as `'de'` | English, unless you set `texts` |
42
+ | `'auto'` | The language of the page that embeds the chat (its `lang` attribute), else the visitor's browser language, else English |
43
+
44
+ `defineBot` throws on a value that is neither `'auto'` nor a valid BCP 47 tag. The language part of the tag picks the dictionary, and the full tag picks the plural rules.
45
+
46
+ With `'auto'`, the launcher on your page follows the same order. Your `instructions` function receives the chosen tag as `context.locale`, so you can tell the model which language to answer in.
47
+
48
+ ## Plurals
49
+
50
+ A text with a number has one key per plural category: `zero`, `one`, `two`, `few`, `many` and `other`, the categories `Intl.PluralRules` uses. `message.attachments` is such a text: after a page reload, the chat shows it under each message that had files.
51
+
52
+ The widget asks `Intl.PluralRules` which category the number falls into for the visitor's locale and shows the text for it. When the language has no text for that category, the widget shows the `other` text.
53
+
54
+ Each language uses only some categories:
55
+
56
+ - **English** uses `one` and `other`. Zero is `other` in English, so `message.attachments.zero` has no effect there.
57
+ - **Polish** uses `one`, `few`, `many` and `other` (fractions): 1 załącznik, 3 załączniki, 5 załączników.
58
+
59
+ To see the categories of another language, run `new Intl.PluralRules('cs').resolvedOptions().pluralCategories` in a browser console. Override every category the language uses: if you set only `one` and `other` on a Polish bot, `few` and `many` keep their Polish defaults.
60
+
61
+ ## Add a language
62
+
63
+ The library has dictionaries for English and Polish only, and `widget.texts` has no per-language form. For another language, set a fixed `locale` and translate every key:
64
+
65
+ ```ts
66
+ defineBot({
67
+ // …
68
+ widget: {
69
+ locale: 'de',
70
+ texts: {
71
+ 'header.title': 'Assistent',
72
+ 'composer.placeholder': 'Nachricht eingeben…',
73
+ 'message.attachments.one': '{count} Anhang',
74
+ 'message.attachments.other': '{count} Anhänge',
75
+ // … and every other key
76
+ },
77
+ },
78
+ });
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ - Keys you leave out show English.
82
+ - Plurals follow the rules of the tag you set, so translate each category the language uses.
83
+ - Keep `locale` fixed. With `'auto'`, your translations would show to every visitor, whatever their language. For a site in several languages without a dictionary, define one bot per language, each with its own `locale` and `texts`.
84
+ - The chat document's `lang` attribute is your `locale` as soon as `widget.texts` has any key, so screen readers read your translation in the right language. Without your texts, a language without a built-in dictionary shows English, and `lang` says `en`.
85
+
86
+ ## All texts
87
+
88
+ The table is generated from the library's dictionaries with `pnpm --filter @boldare/askdare docs:texts`.

+ # Themes
2
+
3
+ The widget comes with four looks, each in light and dark. Pick one, adjust it, or build your own on top of one. The decisions behind this are in [ADR-0008](https://github.com/boldare/askdare/blob/main/docs/adr/0008-ui-customization-and-themes.md).
4
+
5
+ ## Pick a preset
6
+
7
+ ```ts
8
+ defineBot({
9
+ // …
10
+ widget: {
11
+ title: 'Brightloop assistant',
12
+ subtitle: 'Answers from our help center',
13
+ greeting: 'Hi! How can I help?',
14
+ starters: ['What does the Business plan include?', 'What are your support hours?'],
15
+ theme: 'sage', // aura (default), halo, sage, care
16
+ colorScheme: 'auto', // or 'light', 'dark'
17
+ },
18
+ });
19
+ ```
20
+
21
+ | Preset | Character | Welcome | Launcher | Fonts |
22
+ | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
23
+ | **Aura** (default) | Soft glass for AI products in Boldare's colors: an airy pastel field, a glossy bubble with its reflection, a two-weight headline (`**bold**` words in the greeting), a card composer with a Send pill | Centred greeting with pill suggestions | Orb | Plus Jakarta Sans |
24
+ | **Halo** | Clean and friendly: white into ice blue, a frosted orb in rings of light, a bold question, a round field with a soft blue mic | Centred greeting with pill suggestions | Orb | Geist |
25
+ | **Sage** | A calm companion: sage and mint, light type, a mint bubble for the assistant, black pill buttons, the mic beside the field | Persona card with an "Online" pill | Pill with avatar and label | Geist |
26
+ | **Care** | Trust first: indigo and lavender, larger hyperlegible type, AAA text contrast | Opening message with a checklist | Pill with label | Atkinson Hyperlegible Next |
27
+
28
+ `starters` are clickable suggestions (up to 4). `avatar` is the assistant's picture: a path on your app such as `/avatar.png`, or a small PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF data URL. `launcherLabel` is the text of the pill launcher (default "Ask us").
29
+
30
+ To compare them, run the demo site from the repository (`site/`) with `ASKDARE_GALLERY=1` and open `/gallery`: every state of the widget (welcome, conversation, streaming, attachments, error, listening) in any preset, scheme and width. The site's home page shows the same assistant in each preset: switch the theme and show the chat as a bubble or inside the page.
31
+
32
+ ## Adjust a preset
33
+
34
+ ```ts
35
+ import { defineTheme } from '@boldare/askdare';
36
+
37
+ export const brand = defineTheme({
38
+ extends: 'aura',
39
+ accent: '#a8875c', // buttons, links and your own messages; text on it is picked for contrast
40
+ tokens: { radius: '12px' },
41
+ dark: { accent: '#d4b48a' },
42
+ variants: { launcher: 'pill', avatar: 'initials' },
43
+ });
44
+
45
+ defineBot({ /* … */ widget: { theme: brand } });
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ `defineTheme` validates once, so several bots can share a theme. In development, a theme whose colors are hard to read logs a warning with the failing pairs and their contrast ratios.
49
+
50
+ ### Tokens
51
+
52
+ Each token is a CSS variable, set per bot from its theme. Colors are hex.
53
+
54
+ | Token | Variable | Used for |
55
+ | --- | --- | --- |
56
+ | `accent`, `onAccent` | `--ask-color-accent`, `--ask-color-on-accent` | Buttons, links, focus ring, and the text on them |
57
+ | `background` | `--ask-color-background` | Panel |
58
+ | `surface` | `--ask-color-surface` | Assistant bubbles, cards, chips |
59
+ | `text`, `muted` | `--ask-color-text`, `--ask-color-muted` | Text, secondary text |
60
+ | `border` | `--ask-color-border` | Hairlines (alpha allowed: `#rrggbbaa`) |
61
+ | `danger`, `success` | `--ask-color-danger`, `--ask-color-success` | Errors, checks |
62
+ | `userBubble`, `onUserBubble` | `--ask-color-user-bubble`, `--ask-color-on-user-bubble` | The visitor's messages |
63
+ | `backdrop` | `--ask-backdrop` | Background behind the panel, such as a gradient, or `none` |
64
+ | `orb` | `--ask-orb` | Paint of the orb avatar and launcher |
65
+ | `fontFamily`, `headingFamily` | `--ask-font-family`, `--ask-font-family-heading` | Text and headings |
66
+ | `fontSize` | `--ask-font-size` | Base size, 13px to 20px |
67
+ | `radius` | `--ask-radius` | Corner radius, 0px to 32px |
68
+
69
+ CSS values (`backdrop`, `orb`) may not contain `url()`, braces, semicolons or backslashes: they are written into a stylesheet.
70
+
71
+ ### Variants
72
+
73
+ | Variant | Values |
74
+ | --- | --- |
75
+ | `avatar` | `orb`, `icon`, `initials`, `none` (a configured `avatar` picture wins) |
76
+ | `welcome` | `hero`, `persona`, `intro` |
77
+ | `launcher` | `orb`, `circle`, `pill` |
78
+ | `bubbles` | `filled`, `plain` |
79
+ | `surface` | `solid`, `glass` |
80
+ | `density` | `comfortable`, `compact` |
81
+ | `composer` | `outline`, `gradient` |
82
+
83
+ Variants are set as attributes on the iframe document (`data-ask-welcome="persona"` and so on), so your own CSS can target them too.
84
+
85
+ ## Example: a theme in your brand
86
+
87
+ The demo site's BLDR theme puts the chat in Boldare's style: ink and light grey, heavy type, square corners, and yellow buttons with a hard ink shadow. It takes three steps, all on the public API. Try it on the home page: pick the yellow diamond in the dock at the bottom.
88
+
89
+ **1. Tokens and variants** set the colors, type and shapes. Start from the preset closest to your brand and override what differs:
90
+
91
+ ```ts
92
+ import { defineTheme } from '@boldare/askdare';
93
+
94
+ export const bldr = defineTheme({
95
+ extends: 'halo',
96
+ tokens: {
97
+ accent: '#242424',
98
+ onAccent: '#ffffff',
99
+ background: '#f1f1f1',
100
+ surface: '#ffffff',
101
+ text: '#242424',
102
+ muted: '#4f4f4f',
103
+ border: '#24242433',
104
+ userBubble: '#242424',
105
+ onUserBubble: '#ffffff',
106
+ backdrop: 'none',
107
+ orb: 'radial-gradient(circle at 35% 30%, #fff7c2 0%, #f2da3a 50%, #c4ac12 100%)',
108
+ // Aura's font: it ships with the library, so the chat can use it in any theme.
109
+ fontFamily: '"Plus Jakarta Sans Variable", system-ui, sans-serif',
110
+ headingFamily: '"Plus Jakarta Sans Variable", system-ui, sans-serif',
111
+ radius: '0px',
112
+ },
113
+ variants: { avatar: 'initials', launcher: 'pill', surface: 'solid', composer: 'outline' },
114
+ });
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ **2. Your own CSS** in `widget.css` adds what tokens can't: the dark header, the yellow highlight in the greeting, and hard shadows that buttons press into. Select parts by `data-ask-part` ([Styling](styling.md#2-your-own-css)):
118
+
119
+ ```ts
120
+ const BLDR_CSS = `
121
+ [data-ask-part="header"] { background: #242424; color: #fff; border-bottom: 0; }
122

123

126

128
+ }
129
+ [data-ask-part="starter"]:hover:not(:disabled) {
130
+ transform: translate(2px, -2px); box-shadow: -6px 6px 0 #242424;
131
+ }
132
+ [data-ask-part="message"][data-role="assistant"] [data-ask-part="bubble"] { border: 2px solid #242424; }
133
+ [data-ask-part="composer-box"] { border: 2px solid #242424; border-radius: 0; box-shadow: none; }
134
+ [data-ask-part="send"] {
135
+ border: 2px solid #242424; border-radius: 0; background: #f2da3a; color: #242424;
136
+ box-shadow: -3px 3px 0 #242424;
137
+ }
138
+ `;

+ **3. The chat button** is on your page, not in the chat, so style it with your page's CSS through `::part(launcher)`. See "The launcher" in [Styling](styling.md#2-your-own-css):

+
153
+ ```css
154
+ [data-askdare="bldr"]::part(launcher) {
155
+ border: 2px solid #242424;
156
+ border-radius: 0;
157
+ background: #f2da3a;
158
+ color: #242424;
159
+ box-shadow: -4px 4px 0 #242424;
160
+ }
161
+ ```
162
+
163
+ Check the result in both color schemes, or set `colorScheme: 'light'` as BLDR does when you style only one. In development, `defineTheme` warns about color pairs that are hard to read; it can't check colors in your own CSS, so check those yourself.
164
+
165
+ ## Fonts
166
+
167
+ Fonts are OFL-licensed and served by your app, never from a CDN. A browser downloads only the fonts the chosen preset renders, and only the Latin Extended file when the text needs it (Polish, for example): at most about 80 KB per preset.
168
+
169
+ ## How it is served
170
+
171
+ - The theme is a small stylesheet per bot, `/api/chat/theme/<bot>.css`, with a content hash in its URL, so the first paint already has the right colors. The iframe's CSP forbids inline styles.
172
+ - The launcher on the host page follows the theme: load the script as `widget.js?bot=<id>` and the server includes that bot's launcher look (colors, label, avatar path; public configuration) in it. `data-bot` on the tag still works, with the default launcher.

+ # Tools
2
+
3
+ Tools are server-side functions the model may call during a conversation: look up an order, check a price, fetch the weather. You describe the arguments with a Zod schema; askdare validates every call before your code runs.
4
+
5
+ ```ts
6
+ // tools.ts
7
+ import { defineTool } from '@boldare/askdare';
8
+ import { z } from 'zod';
9
+
10
+ export const orderStatus = defineTool({
11
+ name: 'get_order_status',
12
+ description: 'Status of an order by its number. Use it when the visitor asks about an order.',
13
+ input: z.object({
14
+ orderNumber: z.string().regex(/^\d{6}$/).describe('Six-digit order number'),
15
+ }),
16
+ execute: async ({ orderNumber }, { signal }) => {
17
+ const response = await fetch(`https://shop.example.com/api/orders/${orderNumber}`, { signal });
18
+ if (!response.ok) return { error: 'No such order.' };
19
+ const order = (await response.json()) as { status: string };
20
+ return { orderNumber, status: order.status };
21
+ },
22
+ });
23
+ ```
24
+
25
+ ```ts
26
+ // askdare.config.ts
27
+ defineBot({
28
+ // …
29
+ tools: [orderStatus],
30
+ });
31
+ ```
32
+
33
+ ## How a call works
34
+
35
+ 1. The model decides to call a tool and proposes arguments.
36
+ 2. askdare validates them with your schema. Invalid arguments go back to the model as an error, and `execute` doesn't run.
37
+ 3. `execute` runs on your server, with a timeout (`timeoutMs`, 10 seconds by default). Several calls in one step run in parallel.
38
+ 4. Whatever `execute` returns goes back to the model as JSON. Return `{ error: '…' }` for failures the model should explain; a thrown error reaches the model as a generic failure.
39
+ 5. The visitor sees only a short status ("Using get_order_status…"), never the arguments or the result.
40
+
41
+ A bot makes at most `limits.maxSteps` model calls per message (default 5); the last one must answer in words.
42
+
43
+ ## Rules
44
+
45
+ - **Every field is required.** OpenAI's strict mode demands it: use `.nullable()` instead of `.optional()`. `defineTool` fails at startup otherwise.
46
+ - **Describe well.** The model picks tools by `description` and fills fields by their `.describe()`.
47
+ - **Never trust the model with identity.** The model can be talked into anything, so a tool must not take user IDs, emails or permissions from its arguments. The second argument of `execute` holds what askdare verified: `botId`, `visitorId` (pseudonymous, created by the server), `locale`, `identity` (the signed-in user, when your site [identifies](identity.md) them) and an abort `signal`.
48
+ - **Read-only, for now.** Tools that change data (place an order, send an email) need the visitor's confirmation, which askdare doesn't offer yet. Keep tools to lookups.
49
+ - **Keep results small.** Return the fields the model needs. Large results cost input tokens on every later message.
50
+ - **Keep it under about 20 tools per bot.** More tools make the model slower and less accurate.
51
+
52
+ The demo site has two working examples in [`site/tools.ts`](https://github.com/boldare/askdare/blob/main/site/tools.ts).
