The complete toolkit for building AI-powered features in Next.js and React. Covers tool calling, structured output with Zod, streaming UI with React Server Components, and multi-step autonomous agents.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when building AI-powered features in Next.js or React applications that need LLM integration.
- Building chatbots or conversational interfaces
- Implementing AI agents with tool calling
- Streaming LLM responses to the UI
- Generating structured data from natural language
- Multi-step autonomous agent workflows
Core Capabilities
This skill covers the full Vercel AI SDK surface area, distilled into actionable patterns your agent can apply immediately.
- useChat and useCompletion hooks for React
- streamText and generateText server functions
- Tool definitions with Zod schemas
- Multi-step tool calling with maxSteps
- Structured output with generateObject
- Streaming UI with RSC and createStreamableUI
Best Practices
Follow these patterns for production-grade AI features.
- Always validate tool inputs with Zod schemas
- Use streaming for any response longer than a few sentences
- Implement error boundaries around AI components
- Set reasonable maxSteps limits to prevent infinite loops
- Cache repeated LLM calls with unstable_cache
