## E2E Workflow 1: Answer AI SDK Question

**Input:** User asks "How do I stream AI responses with Next.js App Router?"

### Step-by-Step Execution:

1. **Identify Topics:**
   ```
   - Streaming (AI SDK Core)
   - Next.js App Router (Getting Started / AI SDK UI)
   - streamText function (API Reference)
   ```

2. **Search Index:**
   ```bash
   cat docs/libs/ai-sdk/_index.md
   ```
   Locate: `ai-sdk-core/streaming-text.md`, `ai-sdk-ui/chatbot.md`, `getting-started/nextjs-app-router.md`

3. **Check if Content Fetched:**
   ```bash
   grep "fetched: true" docs/libs/ai-sdk/ai-sdk-core/streaming-text.md
   ```

4. **Decision Tree:**
   ```
   IF fetched: true
     → Read content and answer
   ELSE
     → Fetch content first:
       npx tsx scripts/fetch-tiptap-content.ts docs/libs/ai-sdk/ai-sdk-core/streaming-text.md
     → Wait for fetch
     → Read content and answer
   ```

5. **Read Documentation:**
   ```bash
   cat docs/libs/ai-sdk/ai-sdk-core/streaming-text.md
   cat docs/libs/ai-sdk/reference/ai-sdk-core/stream-text.md
   cat docs/libs/ai-sdk/examples/next-app-router/streaming.md
   ```

6. **Synthesize Answer:**
   - Extract code examples
   - Explain streaming pattern
   - Show Next.js App Router integration
   - Cite files: `docs/libs/ai-sdk/ai-sdk-core/streaming-text.md:45`

**Performance:** <5s for cached docs, <30s if fetching needed

   'use client'
   import { useChat } from 'ai/react'

   export default function Chat() {
     const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit } = useChat()

     return (
       <div>
         {messages.map(m => (
           <div key={m.id}>{m.role}: {m.content}</div>
         ))}
         <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
           <input value={input} onChange={handleInputChange} />
         </form>
       </div>
     )
   }
   ```

6. **Add API Route:**
   ```typescript

     const { messages } = await req.json()

     const result = streamText({
       model: openai('gpt-4'),
       messages,
     })

     return result.toDataStreamResponse()
   }
   ```

7. **Cite Sources:**
   - `docs/libs/ai-sdk/ai-sdk-ui/chatbot.md:15-45`
   - `docs/libs/ai-sdk/examples/next-app-router/chatbot.md:60-90`

│
└─ NO → Use AI SDK Core
    ├─ Need streaming? → streamText / streamObject
    ├─ One-shot response? → generateText / generateObject
    ├─ Need embeddings? → embed / embedMany
    └─ React Server Components? → AI SDK RSC
```

### Tree 2: Documentation Search Strategy
