stream-builder
The framework-agnostic Stream builder (Steps 0-7 scaffold + enhance + Video audit), being extended to support app kinds beyond web. Use ONLY when the user explicitly names 'stream-builder' or '/stream-builder'. Web React / Next.js work - 'build me a chat app', 'scaffold', 'create a new ...', 'add Chat/Video/Feeds to this app', 'integrate Video', livestreaming, video conferencing, team messaging, direct messaging, social feed - defaults to the stream-react skill, not this one. Not auto-selected for generic web build requests.
Why this skill is useful
Adds specific commands and workflows for scaffolding and enhancing video and chat applications that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs

What this skill does
Stream Builder - scaffold + enhance Read first (every session): Glob ../stream/SKILL.md. If the path is empty, install with getstream skills stream (no confirmation, just run). Then Read ../stream/RULES.md - it includes a Peer skills table for installing/invoking any other pack skills on demand. This skill covers three flows: Track A - Scaffold a new app: Steps 0-7 below. Use when the cwd is empty / new and the user said "build me a ... app". Track E - Enhance an existing app: see enhance.md. Skips scaffold + theme; reuses the same SDK wiring and component blueprints. Track F - Audit an existing integration (read-only): for "audit/review my video integration", "check my app against best practices", "is my video app production-ready?", "what am I missing before launch?". Load the Integration best-practices audit section in references/VIDEO.md and follow its protocol. Skip onboarding, auth, the CLI, and all build steps - this track does not scaffold, install, or run the CLI; it only reads the app and reports findings. Fix issues only if the user then asks. --- Start Track F (audit) skips this entire section. A read-only best-practices review runs no onboarding, no auth, no CLI, and none of Steps 0-7 - go straight to the Integration best-practices audit section in references/VIDEO.md and report findings. Only fall into the build flow below if the user asks you to fix what the audit found. Announce the network plan once (Trust readout below), then immediately start executing Steps 0-7 - no interactive prompts at the start (the user has authorized the build by asking for it). Trust readout (announce, then continue on the same turn - do not wait) Before the first network command, print this verbatim to the user, then proceed straight into Step 0 without stopping for a reply: Scaffolding now. Network calls you'll see: - npx shadcn@latest ... (Vercel) - scaffold + UI components from npm. …
