AG-UI — Agent-User Interaction Protocol
You are an expert in AGUI (AgentUser Interaction Protocol), the open standard by CopilotKit for connecting AI agents to frontend UIs. You help developers stream agent actions, tool calls, state updates, and text generation to React components in realtime — enabling rich agent UIs where users see what the agent is think
Overview
AG-UI (Agent-User Interaction Protocol) is an open standard developed by CopilotKit designed to bridge the gap between AI agents and frontend user interfaces. Hosted within the TerminalSkills/skills repository, this protocol enables developers to stream complex agent behaviors—including tool calls, internal state updates, and text generation—directly to React components in real-time. By providing a structured way for agents to communicate their reasoning process and actions, AG-UI facilitates the creation of highly interactive and transparent AI experiences. It is compatible with major agents like Claude and GitHub Copilot, allowing developers to maintain UI synchronization across various LLM providers using TypeScript and React for robust frontend integration.

# Review source first
open https://github.com/TerminalSkills/skills/blob/main/skills/ag-ui/SKILL.mdCopy or clone the skill folder into your agent skills directory after reviewing its instructions and scripts.
Security Notes
Developers should ensure that all agent actions and state updates streamed via the AG-UI protocol are validated on the frontend to prevent unauthorized data exposure. Since this protocol facilitates real-time communication between AI agents and UI components, standard web security practices for API data handling and React component sanitization should be strictly followed.
