End-to-end chat implementation: server endpoint with chat() and toServerSentEventsResponse(), client-side useChat hook with fetchServerSentEvents(), message rendering with UIMessage parts, multimodal content, thinking/reasoning display. Covers streaming states, connection adapters, and message format conversions. NOT Vercel AI SDK — uses chat() not streamText().

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Chat Experience

This skill builds on ai-core. Read it first for critical rules.

## Setup — Minimal Chat App

### Server: API Route (TanStack Start)

```typescript ignore
// src/routes/api.chat.ts
import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'
import { chat, toServerSentEventsResponse } from '@tanstack/ai'
import { openaiText } from '@tanstack/ai-openai'

export const Route = createFileRoute('/api/chat')({
  server: {
    handlers: {
      POST: async ({ request }) => {
        const abortController = new AbortController()
        const body = await request.json()
        const { messages } = body

        const stream = chat({
          adapter: openaiText('gpt-5.5'),
          messages,
          threadId: body.threadId,
          systemPrompts: ['You are a helpful assistant.'],
          abortController,
        })

        return toServerSentEventsResponse(stream, { abortController })
      },
    },
  },
})
```

### Client: React Component

```tsx
// src/routes/index.tsx
import { useState } from 'react'
import { useChat, fetchServerSentEvents } from '@tanstack/ai-react'
import type { UIMessage } from '@tanstack/ai-react'

function ChatPage() {

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tanstack/ai/ai-core/chat-experience@sha256:63c696d25e837919

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.fe83aa0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
