Helpers

Helpers are the optional, opt-in surface around the core defineDevframe API: prebuilt RPC recipes and a curated set of low-level utilities, all served from the devframe package itself. None of them are required to ship a devframe — reach for them when they match the shape of what you're building.

Helper	Entry	What it does
Utilities	devframe/utils/*	Bundled small utilities — terminal colors, hashing, editor launch, structured-clone serialization, and more.
Common RPC Functions	devframe/recipes/common-rpc-functions	Prebuilt RPC actions for "open in editor" and "reveal in Finder".
Interactive Auth	devframe/recipes/interactive-auth	Ready-made OTP auth layer — handshake, resolver gate, connect-time trust, and the code/link banner.

Helpers vs. adapters: an adapter takes a DevframeDefinition and deploys it as a runnable surface (CLI, dev server, static build, MCP server). A helper is a smaller piece — a recipe or a utility function — that you compose alongside an adapter.

For integrating a devframe (or a whole hub) with a specific meta-framework's dev server, see the dedicated @devframes/* framework packages instead.
