+# Streaming Protocols in Cortex
+
+Cortex supports multiple streaming protocols for real-time AI agent interactions. This document provides an overview of the available protocols, their differences, and how to use them.
+
+## Available Protocols
+
+### 1. Vercel AI SDK Protocol (Default)
+**Implementation**: `VercelDataStream`
+**Documentation**: https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/ai-sdk-ui/stream-protocol
+
+The Vercel AI SDK protocol is a widely-used streaming format designed for seamless integration with Vercel's AI SDK libraries. This protocol streams structured JSON events with metadata.
+
+### 2. Vercel Text Stream
+**Implementation**: `VercelTextStream`
+**Documentation**: https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/ai-sdk-core/generating-text
+
+The simplest streaming format - plain text chunks streamed directly without any JSON encoding, metadata, or event structure. Perfect for simple text-only streaming use cases.
+
+### 3. AG-UI Protocol
+**Implementation**: `AgUiDataStream`
+**Documentation**: https://docs.ag-ui.com/concepts/events.md
+
+AG-UI (Agent User Interaction Protocol) is an open, event-based protocol designed to standardize interactions between AI agents and user-facing applications.
+
+## Quick Comparison
+
+| Feature | Vercel AI SDK | Vercel Text | AG-UI |
+|---------|--------------|-------------|-------|
+| **Format** | SSE with `data:` prefix | Plain text stream | SSE with `event:` + `data:` |
+| **Event Structure** | Flat JSON payloads | No structure, raw text | Structured events with timestamps |
+| **Metadata** | Yes (IDs, types, usage) | No | Yes (timestamps, IDs, usage) |
+| **Lifecycle Events** | Implicit | None | Explicit (RunStarted, RunFinished) |
+| **Framework Integration** | `@vercel/ai`, `ai` package | Any | `@ag-ui/core`, `@ag-ui/react` |
+| **Use Case** | Web apps, chat interfaces | Simple text streaming | Complex agent systems, workflows |
+| **Completion Signal** | `[DONE]` marker | End of stream | `RunFinished` event |
+| **Error Handling** | `error` type | None | `RunError` event with context |
+| **Complexity** | Medium | Minimal | High |
+
+## Usage
+
+### Laravel Routes
+
+```php
+use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
+use Cortex\Facades\LLM;
+use Cortex\Prompts\Prompt;
+
+// Vercel AI SDK Protocol (default)
+Route::post('/api/chat/vercel', function () {
+    $prompt = new Prompt(request('message'));
+    $stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
+
+    return $stream->streamResponse();
+});
+
+// Vercel Text Stream (simplest)
+Route::post('/api/chat/text', function () {
+    $prompt = new Prompt(request('message'));
+    $stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
+
+    return $stream->textStreamResponse();
+});
+
+// AG-UI Protocol
+Route::post('/api/chat/ag-ui', function () {
+    $prompt = new Prompt(request('message'));
+    $stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
+
+    return $stream->agUiStreamResponse();
+});
+
+// Custom Protocol
+Route::post('/api/chat/custom', function () {
+    $prompt = new Prompt(request('message'));
+    $stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
+    $protocol = new MyCustomProtocol();
+
+    return $stream->toStreamedResponse($protocol);
+});
+```
+
+### Standalone PHP
+
+```php
+use Cortex\Facades\LLM;
+use Cortex\LLM\Streaming\VercelDataStream;
+use Cortex\LLM\Streaming\AgUiDataStream;
+use Cortex\Prompts\Prompt;
+
+$prompt = new Prompt('Tell me a story');
+$stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
+
+// Choose your protocol
+$protocol = new VercelDataStream();
+// or new VercelTextStream()
+// or new AgUiDataStream()
+$streamResponse = $protocol->streamResponse($stream);
+
+header('Content-Type: text/event-stream');
+header('Cache-Control: no-cache');
+
+$streamResponse();
+```
+
+## Event Format Examples
+
+### Vercel AI SDK Protocol
+
+```
+data: {"type":"start","messageId":"msg_123"}
+
+data: {"type":"text-delta","id":"msg_123","delta":"Hello"}
+
+data: {"type":"text-delta","id":"msg_123","delta":", world!"}
+
+data: {"type":"finish","finishReason":"stop","usage":{...}}
+
+[DONE]
+```
+
+### Vercel Text Stream
+
+```
+Hello, world!
+```
+
+No formatting, no metadata - just the raw text content streamed as it's generated.
+
+### AG-UI Protocol
+
+```
+event: message
+data: {"type":"RunStarted","runId":"run_123","threadId":"thread_456","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:00+00:00"}
+
+event: message
+data: {"type":"TextMessageStart","messageId":"msg_789","role":"assistant","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:01+00:00"}
+
+event: message
+data: {"type":"TextMessageContent","messageId":"msg_789","delta":"Hello","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:01+00:00"}
+
+event: message
+data: {"type":"TextMessageContent","messageId":"msg_789","delta":", world!","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:02+00:00"}
+
+event: message
+data: {"type":"TextMessageEnd","messageId":"msg_789","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:03+00:00"}
+
+event: message
+data: {"type":"RunFinished","runId":"run_123","threadId":"thread_456","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:03+00:00","result":{"usage":{...}}}
+```

+## Frontend Integration
+
+### Vercel AI SDK (React)
+
+```tsx
+import { useChat } from '@ai-sdk/react';
+
+function ChatComponent() {
+    const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit } = useChat({
+        api: '/api/chat/vercel',
+    });
+
+    return (
+        <div>
+            {messages.map(m => (
+                <div key={m.id}>{m.role}: {m.content}</div>
+            ))}
+            <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
+                <input value={input} onChange={handleInputChange} />
+            </form>
+        </div>
+    );
+}
+```
+
+### AG-UI (React)
+
+```tsx
+import { useAgentStream } from '@ag-ui/react';
+
+function AgentComponent() {
+    const { messages, isRunning, submit } = useAgentStream({
+        endpoint: '/api/chat/ag-ui',
+    });
+
+    return (
+        <div>
+            {messages.map(msg => (
+                <div key={msg.id}>{msg.role}: {msg.content}</div>
+            ))}
+            <button onClick={() => submit({ message: 'Hello' })} disabled={isRunning}>
+                Send
+            </button>
+        </div>
+    );
+}
+```
+
+### Vanilla JavaScript (Both Protocols)
+
+```javascript
+async function streamChat(endpoint, message) {
+    const response = await fetch(endpoint, {
+        method: 'POST',
+        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+        body: JSON.stringify({ message }),
+    });
+
+    const reader = response.body.getReader();
+    const decoder = new TextDecoder();
+    let buffer = '';
+
+    while (true) {
+        const { done, value } = await reader.read();
+        if (done) break;
+
+        buffer += decoder.decode(value, { stream: true });
+        const lines = buffer.split('\n\n');
+        buffer = lines.pop() || '';
+
+        for (const line of lines) {
+            if (!line.trim()) continue;
+
+            // Parse event (works for both protocols)
+            const parts = line.split('\n');
+            const dataLine = parts.find(l => l.startsWith('data: '));
+            if (!dataLine) continue;
+
+            const data = JSON.parse(dataLine.slice(6));
+            handleEvent(data);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## When to Use Which Protocol
+
+### Use Vercel AI SDK When:
+- ✅ Building standard chat interfaces
+- ✅ Using Vercel's AI SDK libraries
+- ✅ Need structured event streaming with metadata
+- ✅ Want tool call and usage tracking
+- ✅ Working with existing Vercel-based apps
+
+### Use Vercel Text Stream When:
+- ✅ Need the simplest possible implementation
+- ✅ Only streaming text content (no tools, no metadata)
+- ✅ Building minimal client implementations
+- ✅ Performance is critical (lowest overhead)
+- ✅ Don't need structured events or completion signals
+- ✅ Want maximum compatibility (plain text)
+
+### Use AG-UI When:
+- ✅ Building complex agent systems
+- ✅ Need explicit lifecycle tracking
+- ✅ Require multi-step workflow visibility
+- ✅ Want standardized agent-UI communication
+- ✅ Building agent frameworks or platforms
+- ✅ Need debugging and observability
+- ✅ Handling human-in-the-loop interactions
+
+## Creating Custom Protocols
+
+You can create your own streaming protocol by implementing the `StreamingProtocol` interface:
+
+```php
+use Cortex\LLM\Contracts\StreamingProtocol;
+use Cortex\LLM\Data\ChatStreamResult;
+use Cortex\LLM\Data\ChatGenerationChunk;
+use Closure;
+
+class MyCustomProtocol implements StreamingProtocol
+{
+    public function streamResponse(ChatStreamResult $result): Closure
+    {
+        return function () use ($result): void {
+            foreach ($result as $chunk) {
+                $payload = $this->mapChunkToPayload($chunk);
+                echo json_encode($payload) . "\n";
+                flush();
+            }
+        };
+    }
+
+    public function mapChunkToPayload(ChatGenerationChunk $chunk): array
+    {
+        // Your custom mapping logic
+        return [
+            'event' => $chunk->type->value,
+            'data' => $chunk->message->content,
+        ];
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Then use it:
+
+```php
+$stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
+return $stream->toStreamedResponse(new MyCustomProtocol());
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+All three protocols have comprehensive test coverage:
+
+```bash
+# Test Vercel Data Stream protocol
+./vendor/bin/pest tests/Unit/LLM/Streaming/VercelDataStreamTest.php
+
+# Test Vercel Text Stream protocol
+./vendor/bin/pest tests/Unit/LLM/Streaming/VercelTextStreamTest.php
+
+# Test AG-UI protocol
+./vendor/bin/pest tests/Unit/LLM/Streaming/AgUiDataStreamTest.php
+
+# Test all streaming protocols
+./vendor/bin/pest tests/Unit/LLM/Streaming/
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+**Vercel AI SDK Tests**: 34 tests, 102 assertions
+**Vercel Text Stream Tests**: 23 tests, 31 assertions
+**AG-UI Tests**: 13 tests, 63 assertions
+**Total**: 70 tests, 196 assertions
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+All three protocols have different performance characteristics:
+
+### Vercel Text Stream (Fastest)
+- **Streaming Efficiency**: Highest - direct text output
+- **Memory Usage**: Minimal - no JSON encoding
+- **Network Overhead**: Lowest - raw text only
+- **Client Parsing**: Simplest - no parsing needed
+- **Best for**: High-volume text streaming, simple use cases
+
+### Vercel AI SDK (Balanced)
+- **Streaming Efficiency**: High - efficient JSON encoding
+- **Memory Usage**: Low - chunks are processed as they arrive
+- **Network Overhead**: Medium - JSON payloads with metadata
+- **Client Parsing**: Medium - JSON parsing per chunk
+- **Best for**: Standard applications needing metadata
+
+### AG-UI (Most Feature-Rich)
+- **Streaming Efficiency**: Good - multiple events per chunk
+- **Memory Usage**: Low - chunks are processed as they arrive
+- **Network Overhead**: Higher - timestamps and lifecycle events
+- **Client Parsing**: Most complex - SSE event parsing + JSON
+- **Best for**: Complex applications needing observability
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### To Vercel Text Stream (Simplest)
+
+From any protocol:
+```php
+// Change to text stream
+return $stream->textStreamResponse();
+```
+
+Frontend (plain text):
+```javascript
+const response = await fetch('/api/chat');
+const reader = response.body.getReader();
+const decoder = new TextDecoder();
+
+while (true) {
+    const { done, value } = await reader.read();
+    if (done) break;
+    const text = decoder.decode(value);
+    console.log(text); // Raw text chunks
+}
+```
+
+### From Vercel to AG-UI
+
+1. Update your route:
+```php
+// Before
+return $stream->streamResponse();
+
+// After
+return $stream->agUiStreamResponse();
+```
+
+2. Update your frontend to handle AG-UI events instead of Vercel events
+
+3. Handle new lifecycle events (`RunStarted`, `RunFinished`)
+
+### From AG-UI to Vercel
+
+1. Update your route:
+```php
+// Before
+return $stream->agUiStreamResponse();
+
+// After
+return $stream->streamResponse();
+```
+
+2. Update frontend to parse `data:` lines instead of `event:`/`data:` pairs
+
+3. Remove lifecycle event handling (AG-UI specific)

+    | Configure agent auto-discovery from your Laravel application.
+    | All agents must extend the AbstractAgent class.
+    |
+    | Agents can be registered in two ways:
+    |
+    | 1. Auto-discovery: Automatically discover agents from the configured path
+    | 2. Manual registration: Use Agent::register() or AgentRegistry::register()
+    |
+    | Example manual registration in service provider:
+    | use Cortex\Facades\Agent;
+    |
+    | public function boot(): void
+    | {
+    |     Agent::register('weather', App\Agents\WeatherAgent::class);
+    |     // Or with an instance:
+    |     Agent::register('custom', new Agent(...));
+    | }
+    |
+    | Usage:
+    | $agent = Cortex::agent('weather-agent');
+    | $result = $agent->invoke([], ['location' => 'New York']);
+    |

-# Streaming Protocols in Cortex
-
-Cortex supports multiple streaming protocols for real-time AI agent interactions. This document provides an overview of the available protocols, their differences, and how to use them.
-
-## Available Protocols
-
-### 1. Vercel AI SDK Protocol (Default)
-**Implementation**: `VercelDataStream`
-**Documentation**: https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/ai-sdk-ui/stream-protocol
-
-The Vercel AI SDK protocol is a widely-used streaming format designed for seamless integration with Vercel's AI SDK libraries. This protocol streams structured JSON events with metadata.
-
-### 2. Vercel Text Stream
-**Implementation**: `VercelTextStream`
-**Documentation**: https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs/ai-sdk-core/generating-text
-
-The simplest streaming format - plain text chunks streamed directly without any JSON encoding, metadata, or event structure. Perfect for simple text-only streaming use cases.
-
-### 3. AG-UI Protocol
-**Implementation**: `AgUiDataStream`
-**Documentation**: https://docs.ag-ui.com/concepts/events.md
-
-AG-UI (Agent User Interaction Protocol) is an open, event-based protocol designed to standardize interactions between AI agents and user-facing applications.
-
-## Quick Comparison
-
-| Feature | Vercel AI SDK | Vercel Text | AG-UI |
-|---------|--------------|-------------|-------|
-| **Format** | SSE with `data:` prefix | Plain text stream | SSE with `event:` + `data:` |
-| **Event Structure** | Flat JSON payloads | No structure, raw text | Structured events with timestamps |
-| **Metadata** | Yes (IDs, types, usage) | No | Yes (timestamps, IDs, usage) |
-| **Lifecycle Events** | Implicit | None | Explicit (RunStarted, RunFinished) |
-| **Framework Integration** | `@vercel/ai`, `ai` package | Any | `@ag-ui/core`, `@ag-ui/react` |
-| **Use Case** | Web apps, chat interfaces | Simple text streaming | Complex agent systems, workflows |
-| **Completion Signal** | `[DONE]` marker | End of stream | `RunFinished` event |
-| **Error Handling** | `error` type | None | `RunError` event with context |
-| **Complexity** | Medium | Minimal | High |
-
-## Usage
-
-### Laravel Routes
-
-```php
-use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
-use Cortex\Facades\LLM;
-use Cortex\Prompts\Prompt;
-
-// Vercel AI SDK Protocol (default)
-Route::post('/api/chat/vercel', function () {
-    $prompt = new Prompt(request('message'));
-    $stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
-
-    return $stream->streamResponse();
-});
-
-// Vercel Text Stream (simplest)
-Route::post('/api/chat/text', function () {
-    $prompt = new Prompt(request('message'));
-    $stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
-
-    return $stream->textStreamResponse();
-});
-
-// AG-UI Protocol
-Route::post('/api/chat/ag-ui', function () {
-    $prompt = new Prompt(request('message'));
-    $stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
-
-    return $stream->agUiStreamResponse();
-});
-
-// Custom Protocol
-Route::post('/api/chat/custom', function () {
-    $prompt = new Prompt(request('message'));
-    $stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
-    $protocol = new MyCustomProtocol();
-
-    return $stream->toStreamedResponse($protocol);
-});
-```
-
-### Standalone PHP
-
-```php
-use Cortex\Facades\LLM;
-use Cortex\LLM\Streaming\VercelDataStream;
-use Cortex\LLM\Streaming\AgUiDataStream;
-use Cortex\Prompts\Prompt;
-
-$prompt = new Prompt('Tell me a story');
-$stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
-
-// Choose your protocol
-$protocol = new VercelDataStream();
-// or new VercelTextStream()
-// or new AgUiDataStream()
-$streamResponse = $protocol->streamResponse($stream);
-
-header('Content-Type: text/event-stream');
-header('Cache-Control: no-cache');
-
-$streamResponse();
-```
-
-## Event Format Examples
-
-### Vercel AI SDK Protocol
-
-```
-data: {"type":"start","messageId":"msg_123"}
-
-data: {"type":"text-delta","id":"msg_123","delta":"Hello"}
-
-data: {"type":"text-delta","id":"msg_123","delta":", world!"}
-
-data: {"type":"finish","finishReason":"stop","usage":{...}}
-
-[DONE]
-```
-
-### Vercel Text Stream
-
-```
-Hello, world!
-```
-
-No formatting, no metadata - just the raw text content streamed as it's generated.
-
-### AG-UI Protocol
-
-```
-event: message
-data: {"type":"RunStarted","runId":"run_123","threadId":"thread_456","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:00+00:00"}
-
-event: message
-data: {"type":"TextMessageStart","messageId":"msg_789","role":"assistant","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:01+00:00"}
-
-event: message
-data: {"type":"TextMessageContent","messageId":"msg_789","delta":"Hello","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:01+00:00"}
-
-event: message
-data: {"type":"TextMessageContent","messageId":"msg_789","delta":", world!","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:02+00:00"}
-
-event: message
-data: {"type":"TextMessageEnd","messageId":"msg_789","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:03+00:00"}
-
-event: message
-data: {"type":"RunFinished","runId":"run_123","threadId":"thread_456","timestamp":"2024-01-01T12:00:03+00:00","result":{"usage":{...}}}
-```

-## Frontend Integration
-
-### Vercel AI SDK (React)
-
-```tsx
-import { useChat } from '@ai-sdk/react';
-
-function ChatComponent() {
-    const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit } = useChat({
-        api: '/api/chat/vercel',
-    });
-
-    return (
-        <div>
-            {messages.map(m => (
-                <div key={m.id}>{m.role}: {m.content}</div>
-            ))}
-            <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
-                <input value={input} onChange={handleInputChange} />
-            </form>
-        </div>
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### AG-UI (React)
-
-```tsx
-import { useAgentStream } from '@ag-ui/react';
-
-function AgentComponent() {
-    const { messages, isRunning, submit } = useAgentStream({
-        endpoint: '/api/chat/ag-ui',
-    });
-
-    return (
-        <div>
-            {messages.map(msg => (
-                <div key={msg.id}>{msg.role}: {msg.content}</div>
-            ))}
-            <button onClick={() => submit({ message: 'Hello' })} disabled={isRunning}>
-                Send
-            </button>
-        </div>
-    );
-}
-```
-
-### Vanilla JavaScript (Both Protocols)
-
-```javascript
-async function streamChat(endpoint, message) {
-    const response = await fetch(endpoint, {
-        method: 'POST',
-        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
-        body: JSON.stringify({ message }),
-    });
-
-    const reader = response.body.getReader();
-    const decoder = new TextDecoder();
-    let buffer = '';
-
-    while (true) {
-        const { done, value } = await reader.read();
-        if (done) break;
-
-        buffer += decoder.decode(value, { stream: true });
-        const lines = buffer.split('\n\n');
-        buffer = lines.pop() || '';
-
-        for (const line of lines) {
-            if (!line.trim()) continue;
-
-            // Parse event (works for both protocols)
-            const parts = line.split('\n');
-            const dataLine = parts.find(l => l.startsWith('data: '));
-            if (!dataLine) continue;
-
-            const data = JSON.parse(dataLine.slice(6));
-            handleEvent(data);
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## When to Use Which Protocol
-
-### Use Vercel AI SDK When:
-- ✅ Building standard chat interfaces
-- ✅ Using Vercel's AI SDK libraries
-- ✅ Need structured event streaming with metadata
-- ✅ Want tool call and usage tracking
-- ✅ Working with existing Vercel-based apps
-
-### Use Vercel Text Stream When:
-- ✅ Need the simplest possible implementation
-- ✅ Only streaming text content (no tools, no metadata)
-- ✅ Building minimal client implementations
-- ✅ Performance is critical (lowest overhead)
-- ✅ Don't need structured events or completion signals
-- ✅ Want maximum compatibility (plain text)
-
-### Use AG-UI When:
-- ✅ Building complex agent systems
-- ✅ Need explicit lifecycle tracking
-- ✅ Require multi-step workflow visibility
-- ✅ Want standardized agent-UI communication
-- ✅ Building agent frameworks or platforms
-- ✅ Need debugging and observability
-- ✅ Handling human-in-the-loop interactions
-
-## Creating Custom Protocols
-
-You can create your own streaming protocol by implementing the `StreamingProtocol` interface:
-
-```php
-use Cortex\LLM\Contracts\StreamingProtocol;
-use Cortex\LLM\Data\ChatStreamResult;
-use Cortex\LLM\Data\ChatGenerationChunk;
-use Closure;
-
-class MyCustomProtocol implements StreamingProtocol
-{
-    public function streamResponse(ChatStreamResult $result): Closure
-    {
-        return function () use ($result): void {
-            foreach ($result as $chunk) {
-                $payload = $this->mapChunkToPayload($chunk);
-                echo json_encode($payload) . "\n";
-                flush();
-            }
-        };
-    }
-
-    public function mapChunkToPayload(ChatGenerationChunk $chunk): array
-    {
-        // Your custom mapping logic
-        return [
-            'event' => $chunk->type->value,
-            'data' => $chunk->message->content,
-        ];
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Then use it:
-
-```php
-$stream = LLM::driver('openai')->stream($prompt);
-return $stream->toStreamedResponse(new MyCustomProtocol());
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-All three protocols have comprehensive test coverage:
-
-```bash
-# Test Vercel Data Stream protocol
-./vendor/bin/pest tests/Unit/LLM/Streaming/VercelDataStreamTest.php
-
-# Test Vercel Text Stream protocol
-./vendor/bin/pest tests/Unit/LLM/Streaming/VercelTextStreamTest.php
-
-# Test AG-UI protocol
-./vendor/bin/pest tests/Unit/LLM/Streaming/AgUiDataStreamTest.php
-
-# Test all streaming protocols
-./vendor/bin/pest tests/Unit/LLM/Streaming/
-```
-
-### Test Coverage
-
-**Vercel AI SDK Tests**: 34 tests, 102 assertions
-**Vercel Text Stream Tests**: 23 tests, 31 assertions
-**AG-UI Tests**: 13 tests, 63 assertions
-**Total**: 70 tests, 196 assertions
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-All three protocols have different performance characteristics:
-
-### Vercel Text Stream (Fastest)
-- **Streaming Efficiency**: Highest - direct text output
-- **Memory Usage**: Minimal - no JSON encoding
-- **Network Overhead**: Lowest - raw text only
-- **Client Parsing**: Simplest - no parsing needed
-- **Best for**: High-volume text streaming, simple use cases
-
-### Vercel AI SDK (Balanced)
-- **Streaming Efficiency**: High - efficient JSON encoding
-- **Memory Usage**: Low - chunks are processed as they arrive
-- **Network Overhead**: Medium - JSON payloads with metadata
-- **Client Parsing**: Medium - JSON parsing per chunk
-- **Best for**: Standard applications needing metadata
-
-### AG-UI (Most Feature-Rich)
-- **Streaming Efficiency**: Good - multiple events per chunk
-- **Memory Usage**: Low - chunks are processed as they arrive
-- **Network Overhead**: Higher - timestamps and lifecycle events
-- **Client Parsing**: Most complex - SSE event parsing + JSON
-- **Best for**: Complex applications needing observability
-
-## Migration Guide
-
-### To Vercel Text Stream (Simplest)
-
-From any protocol:
-```php
-// Change to text stream
-return $stream->textStreamResponse();
-```
-
-Frontend (plain text):
-```javascript
-const response = await fetch('/api/chat');
-const reader = response.body.getReader();
-const decoder = new TextDecoder();
-
-while (true) {
-    const { done, value } = await reader.read();
-    if (done) break;
-    const text = decoder.decode(value);
-    console.log(text); // Raw text chunks
-}
-```
-
-### From Vercel to AG-UI
-
-1. Update your route:
-```php
-// Before
-return $stream->streamResponse();
-
-// After
-return $stream->agUiStreamResponse();
-```
-
-2. Update your frontend to handle AG-UI events instead of Vercel events
-
-3. Handle new lifecycle events (`RunStarted`, `RunFinished`)
-
-### From AG-UI to Vercel
-
-1. Update your route:
-```php
-// Before
-return $stream->agUiStreamResponse();
-
-// After
-return $stream->streamResponse();
-```
-
-2. Update frontend to parse `data:` lines instead of `event:`/`data:` pairs
-
-3. Remove lifecycle event handling (AG-UI specific)

     | Agents
     |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
     |
-    | Configure agent auto-discovery from your Laravel application.
-    | All agents must extend the AbstractAgent class.
-    |
-    | Agents can be registered in two ways:
-    |
-    | 1. Auto-discovery: Automatically discover agents from the configured path
-    | 2. Manual registration: Use Agent::register() or AgentRegistry::register()
+    | Configure registered agents.
     |
     | Example manual registration in service provider:
-    | use Cortex\Facades\Agent;
+    | use Cortex\Cortex;
     |
     | public function boot(): void
     | {
-    |     Agent::register('weather', App\Agents\WeatherAgent::class);
+    |     Cortex::registerAgent(\App\Agents\WeatherAgent::class);
     |     // Or with an instance:
-    |     Agent::register('custom', new Agent(...));
+    |     Cortex::registerAgent(new Agent(...));
     | }
     |
     | Usage:
-    | $agent = Cortex::agent('weather-agent');
-    | $result = $agent->invoke([], ['location' => 'New York']);
+    | $agent = Cortex::agent('weather_agent');
+    | $result = $agent->invoke(input: ['location' => 'New York']);
     |
