+# llm-messages adoption guide
+
+`llm-messages` is meant for teams that use OpenAI Chat Completions as their
+internal conversation shape but need to run the same agent loop against
+Anthropic, Gemini, or a fallback provider.
+
+Use it when you need:
+
+- one canonical OpenAI-compatible message history in your app
+- provider fallback without rewriting stored conversations
+- tool-call and tool-result conversion across providers
+- multimodal inputs that keep image, audio, and document parts explicit
+- deterministic warnings instead of hidden conversion loss
+
+## Five minute local check
+
+```sh
+npm install llm-messages
+```
+
+```ts
+import { convert, toAnthropic, toGemini } from 'llm-messages';
+
+const openaiMessages = [
+  { role: 'system', content: 'You are a concise support agent.' },
+  { role: 'user', content: 'Summarize this ticket and call the right tool.' },
+  {
+    role: 'assistant',
+    content: null,
+    tool_calls: [
+      {
+        id: 'call_route',
+        type: 'function',
+        function: {
+          name: 'route_ticket',
+          arguments: '{"priority":"high","team":"billing"}',
+        },
+      },
+    ],
+  },
+  { role: 'tool', tool_call_id: 'call_route', content: '{"ok":true}' },
+];
+
+const anthropicBody = toAnthropic(openaiMessages);
+const geminiBody = toGemini(openaiMessages);
+const geminiFromAnthropic = convert(anthropicBody, {
+  from: 'anthropic',
+  to: 'gemini',
+});
+```
+
+No API key is required for this check. The conversion runs locally and returns
+plain request bodies you can inspect in tests.
+
+## Integration pattern
+
+1. Keep OpenAI Chat Completions messages as the canonical persisted shape.
+2. Convert only at the provider boundary.
+3. Log conversion warnings from `onWarning`.
+4. Normalize provider responses before saving assistant messages.
+5. Cover important agent loops with fixtures before enabling provider fallback.
+
+```ts
+import { normalizeResponse, toAnthropic } from 'llm-messages';
+
+const requestBody = toAnthropic(messages, {
+  onWarning: (warning) => logger.warn({ warning }, 'message conversion warning'),
+});
+
+const providerResponse = await anthropic.messages.create(requestBody);
+const { message, finishReason, usage } = normalizeResponse(providerResponse, {
+  from: 'anthropic',
+});
+```
+
+## What to validate before production
+
+- tool-call IDs stay stable across your retry and replay path
+- provider-specific system prompt rules match your app assumptions
+- unsupported modalities are surfaced through warnings
+- saved fixtures cover tool calls, tool results, images, and fallback
+- provider SDK versions are pinned or tested in CI
