# ai-ui-rewrite-rust

> A Rust port of assistant-ui: chat runtime, AI SDK streaming, incremental Markdown and an optional Slint chat UI, as ten crates on crates.io.

Coding agents: read the skill below first, then the guides. The runtime has no executor of its own and uses single-threaded Rc-based runtimes. Minimum Rust is 1.85 (ai-ui-markdown 1.88, Slint crates 1.92).
