+# LLM-Interface Migration
+
+This PR implements Phase 1 of replacing the Vercel AI SDK with the llm-interface library. The changes include:
+
+## Changes Made
+
+1. Removed Vercel AI SDK dependencies:
+   - Removed `ai` package
+   - Removed `@ai-sdk/anthropic` package
+   - Removed `@ai-sdk/mistral` package
+   - Removed `@ai-sdk/openai` package
+   - Removed `@ai-sdk/xai` package
+   - Removed `ollama-ai-provider` package
+
+2. Added llm-interface dependency:
+   - Added `llm-interface` package
+
+3. Updated core components:
+   - Updated `config.ts` to use llm-interface for model initialization
+   - Updated `toolAgentCore.ts` to use llm-interface for LLM interactions
+   - Updated `messageUtils.ts` to handle message formatting for llm-interface
+   - Updated `toolExecutor.ts` to work with the new message format
+   - Updated `tokens.ts` to prepare for token tracking with llm-interface
+
+## Current Status
+
+- Basic integration with Anthropic's Claude models is working
+- All tests are passing
+- The agent can successfully use tools with Claude models
+
+## Future Work
+
+This PR is the first phase of a three-phase migration:
+
+1. Phase 1 (this PR): Basic integration with Anthropic models
+2. Phase 2: Add support for OpenAI, xAI, and Ollama models
+3. Phase 3: Implement token caching with llm-interface
+
+## Benefits of llm-interface
+
+The llm-interface library provides several advantages over the Vercel AI SDK:
+
+1. Simpler and more consistent API for interacting with multiple LLM providers
+2. Better error handling and retry mechanisms
+3. More flexible caching options
+4. Improved documentation and examples
+5. Regular updates and active maintenance
+
+## Testing
+
+The changes have been tested by:
+1. Running the existing test suite
+2. Manual testing of the agent with various prompts and tools
