Stream overview, CLI, and router for Chat, Video, Feeds, Moderation, and Agents. Use for any Stream task: building or integrating Stream into web, iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Unity, or Unreal apps, building voice or text AI agents with Stream Agents, querying Stream data, running getstream CLI commands, looking up Stream SDK docs, or migrating (from Sendbird, or Feeds v2 to v3).

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/getstream/agent-skills --skill stream- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads stream automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Stream
Stream (getstream.io) provides APIs and SDKs for adding Chat, Video (calls and livestreaming), Activity Feeds, and Moderation to apps. A Stream account has organizations; an organization has apps; an app has one or more API key + secret pairs. All data - users, channels, calls, feeds - is scoped to an app. Client SDKs cover React, iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Unity, and Unreal; server-side SDKs mint user tokens and call the same API. Most client SDKs provide UI kits.
Stream Agents runs voice and text AI agents on Stream's backend. An agent is a
folder of plain files (agents/<name>/agent.yaml, instructions, guardrail,
knowledge, skills, simulations) synced with getstream agents, and sessions
with it are opened through the Agents SDKs (@stream-io/calypso on the web). A
session's conversation is a Chat channel and its voice is a Video call, so the
app around an agent is a Chat and Video app like any other.
The CLI
The getstream CLI is the base tool for everything account- and data-side:
authenticating, onboarding a project (org, app, credentials), calling any API
endpoint, obtaining credentials, minting user tokens, reading the docs, and
installing the other Stream skills. Don't work from memory of it - run
getstream -h and getstream <command> -h and follow what they print.
To install (unless already present):
curl -fsSL https://getstream.io/cli.sh | bash
getstream --version
Alternatively, the user can install the CLI from getstream.io/cli.
The getstream agents commands are only in beta builds, whose version is a
date and a commit (YYYY-MM-DD-<commit>) rather than semver. A stable build
answers them with "agents unavailable". Install the beta over it:
curl -fsSL https://getstream.io/cli/beta/install.sh | bash
Routing
First match wins:
-
Work on an app for a specific platform (build, integrate, audit, upgrade): use the platform-specific skill.
- stream-react (React / Next.js)
- stream-react-native (React Native / Expo)
- stream-swift (iOS / SwiftUI / UIKit)
- stream-android (Kotlin / Compose)
- stream-flutter
- stream-unity (Chat and Video)
- stream-unreal (Chat only)
Install a missing skill with
getstream skills <name>, then follow it. For a web app, or a generic app, pick stream-react. A framework beats an OS: "an Unreal chat app for iOS" is stream-unreal.An app built around Stream Agents is platform work too, even when the request only says "agent" or "voice agent". Configure the agent from its folder and
getstream docs agents/<sdk>(javascript,ios,android,flutter), and build the app with the platform skill: its Chat UI kit renders the session's conversation and its Video SDK holds the call. React Native, Unity, and Unreal have no Agents client SDK - tell the user before building. -
Migrate Feeds v2 to v3: use stream-feeds-migration skill.
-
Migrate from Sendbird: use the platform-specific skill to migrate the code; to move the data itself (users, channels, message history), read sendbird-data-migration.md.
-
Docs / "how does X work" questions: use the
getstream docscommand. In a command substitution like$(getstream docs <id>)don't add2>&1. The path you need is on stdout. -
Query or mutate app data ("list channels", "any flagged messages?", one-off API calls): use the
getstream apicommand. -
Genuinely ambiguous: ask.
FAQ
What does the stream skill do?
Stream overview, CLI, and router for Chat, Video, Feeds, Moderation, and Agents. Use for any Stream task: building or integrating Stream into web, iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Unity, or Unreal apps, building voice or text AI agents with Stream Agents, querying Stream data, running getstream CLI commands, looking up Stream SDK docs, or migrating (from Sendbird, or Feeds v2 to v3). Routes to the right skill.
How do I install stream?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/getstream/agent-skills --skill stream in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/stream/ (personal) or .claude/skills/stream/ (project).
Which AI agents can use stream?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is stream safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
Who maintains stream?
It is published by getstream in getstream/agent-skills. It has 1,564 recorded installs.
