Orchestration & Integration

Connects and orchestrates with domain skills like senior-frontend, nextjs-app-router-expert, ai-llm-integration-expert, design-system-architect, senior-frontend, and multi-agent-orchestration to deliver reactive, streaming AI interfaces.

Description

Production-grade guide for building AI applications using the Vercel AI SDK (Core & UI). Covers unified model provider abstraction (@ai-sdk/anthropic, @ai-sdk/openai, @ai-sdk/google), streaming text and structured objects (streamText, streamObject), dynamic multi-step tool execution loops with maxSteps, client-side React 19 hooks (useChat, useCompletion), streaming data attachments (createDataStreamResponse), and generative UI rendering.

Swarm Synergy: Within the Frontend & UI Swarm, this skill serves as the AI UI Presentation Lead. It translates complex backend multi-agent outputs and streaming tokens into accessible, beautiful web components in Phase 4 & Phase 5.

Trigger Conditions

• Integrating conversational chat, streaming completions, or generative UI in React 19 / Next.js 15.
• Implementing structured data extraction using generateObject or streamObject with Zod schemas.
• Building autonomous multi-step tool-calling loops on Next.js Route Handlers or Server Actions.
• Switching seamlessly across frontier providers (Claude 5.1 Fable / 5 Sonnet, Gemini 4 Pro / Flash, OpenAI GPT-5.6 / o3 / GPT-4.5, Ollama).
• Building streaming data channels with custom metadata, tool status indicators, and citations.

Core Implementation Guidelines

1. Next.js 15 Route Handler with Multi-Step Tool Calling Loop

Use streamText with maxSteps to enable the model to autonomously call tools, review results, and continue reasoning:

// app/api/chat/route.ts
import { anthropic } from '@ai-sdk/anthropic';
import { streamText, tool } from 'ai';
import { z } from 'zod';

export const maxDuration = 60; // Allow long-running agentic reasoning

export async function POST(req: Request) {
  const { messages } = await req.json();

  const result = streamText({
    model: anthropic('claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219'),
    messages,
    maxSteps: 5, // Enables iterative tool calling loop
    tools: {
      calculateMetrics: tool({
        description: 'Computes analytical metrics from raw time series data',
        parameters: z.object({
          datasetId: z.string(),
          metricType: z.enum(['p95_latency', 'error_rate', 'throughput']),
        }),
        execute: async ({ datasetId, metricType }) => {
          const data = await fetchDatasetMetrics(datasetId, metricType);
          return { datasetId, metricType, value: data.result };
        },
      }),
    },
    system: 'You are an elite software performance auditor. Always back up your conclusions with data tool outputs.',
  });

  return result.toDataStreamResponse();
}

2. Streaming Type-Safe Structured Objects (streamObject)

Stream structured JSON objects directly into the UI while generating:

import { google } from '@ai-sdk/google';
import { streamObject } from 'ai';
import { z } from 'zod';

export async function POST(req: Request) {
  const { codeDiff } = await req.json();

  const result = streamObject({
    model: google('gemini-4-flash'),
    schema: z.object({
      securityVulnerabilities: z.array(z.object({
        severity: z.enum(['low', 'medium', 'high', 'critical']),
        cwe: z.string(),
        explanation: z.string(),
        suggestedFix: z.string(),
      })),
      overallRiskScore: z.number().min(0).max(100),
      passesReview: z.boolean(),
    }),
    prompt: `Audit the following git diff for security regressions:\n${codeDiff}`,
  });

  return result.toTextStreamResponse();
}

3. Client Hook Integration (useChat with Tool Invocations)

Render real-time streaming tokens, loading skeletons, and interactive tool call results:

'use client';

import { useChat } from '@ai-sdk/react';

export function AgenticChat() {
  const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit, isLoading } = useChat({
    maxSteps: 5,
  });

  return (
    <div className="flex flex-col h-[600px] w-full max-w-2xl mx-auto border rounded-xl p-4 bg-background">
      <div className="flex-1 overflow-y-auto space-y-4 pr-2">
        {messages.map((m) => (
          <div key={m.id} className={`flex ${m.role === 'user' ? 'justify-end' : 'justify-start'}`}>
            <div className={`p-3 rounded-lg max-w-[80%] ${m.role === 'user' ? 'bg-primary text-primary-foreground' : 'bg-muted'}`}>
              <div className="whitespace-pre-wrap">{m.content}</div>
              {m.toolInvocations?.map((toolInvocation) => (
                <div key={toolInvocation.toolCallId} className="mt-2 text-xs p-2 bg-black/10 rounded">
                  <span className="font-semibold">Tool [{toolInvocation.toolName}]:</span>{' '}
                  {'result' in toolInvocation ? JSON.stringify(toolInvocation.result) : 'Executing...'}
                </div>
              ))}
            </div>
          </div>
        ))}
      </div>
      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit} className="flex gap-2 pt-3 border-t">
        <input
          value={input}
          onChange={handleInputChange}
          placeholder="Ask the agent..."
          className="flex-1 px-3 py-2 border rounded-md"
        />
        <button type="submit" disabled={isLoading} className="px-4 py-2 bg-primary text-primary-foreground rounded-md">
          Send
        </button>
      </form>
    </div>
  );
}

4. Reasoning Token Streaming

Handle part.type === 'reasoning' in streamText responses to build collapsible thinking UIs.

Provider-specific thinking configuration:

• Anthropic: thinking: { type: 'enabled', budgetTokens: 10000 }
• Google: thinkingConfig: { thinkingBudget: 10000 }
• OpenAI: reasoningEffort: 'high'

// Server: Route handler with reasoning streaming
const result = streamText({
  model: anthropic('claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219'),
  prompt: userMessage,
  providerOptions: {
    anthropic: { thinking: { type: 'enabled', budgetTokens: 10000 } }
  }
});

// Client: React component rendering reasoning accordion
{message.parts?.map((part, i) => {
  if (part.type === 'reasoning') {
    return <ThinkingAccordion key={i} content={part.reasoning} />;
  }
  if (part.type === 'text') {
    return <Markdown key={i}>{part.text}</Markdown>;
  }
})}

5. Multimodal Attachments in useChat

Handle user-uploaded images and documents in useChat using experimental_attachments in the chat input. This allows sending base64 or URL-based image attachments to vision models.

const { messages, input, handleSubmit, handleInputChange } = useChat();

const handleFileUpload = (files: FileList) => {
  // Convert to data URLs or upload to storage
};

handleSubmit(e, { experimental_attachments: attachments });
