Streaming backends and wire protocols for assistant-ui via the assistant-stream package. Use when building a custom (non-AI-SDK) streaming endpoint with createAssistantStreamResponse or createAssistantStreamController, emitting parts through appendText/appendReasoning/appendSource/appendFile/addToolCallPart and setResponse; choosing between the AI SDK Data Stream format (toUIMessageStreamResponse) and the native Assistant Transport format; encoding or decoding streams with DataStreamEncoder/DataStreamDecoder, AssistantTransportEncoder/AssistantTransportDecoder, PlainTextEncoder, or UIMessageStreamDecoder; or wiring streamed chunks into useLocalRuntime or useChatRuntime. Use specifically for debugging stream wire issues: text-delta, part-start, result events, text/event-stream content-type, SSE format, tool calls not rendering, or partial text not showing. For general non-stream debugging route to the relevant focused skill, not the parent overview.
