The Pattern Lab
Small patterns.
Clear possibilities.
Inspect six provider-neutral reference patterns. Switch tabs, copy the JSON, or unpack the complete collection—without an account or an API key.

}REFERENCE ONLY · LOCAL
Make the task explicit.
Describe the input, the output boundary, and the required review before choosing a provider.
Read the companion guideA contract, not a connected API.
These JSON files describe design intent. They are not a NeuralAPI.com endpoint or a drop-in provider SDK. No text is submitted, no tools are run, and no result is generated.

}Keep provider secrets on your own controlled server, never in a public web page. Start with synthetic inputs and implement validation and permissions before connecting an actual service. Review the boundaries.
