a2ui-protocols

Goal

Design, enforce, and integrate robust Agent-to-UI (A2UI) communication protocols using Generative UI and HTMX conventions.

Steps

1. Analyze Requirements: Understand the data exchanged between the agent and the frontend UI.
2. Design Protocol: Define the JSON schema, WebSocket events, or Server-Sent Events (SSE) required for the agent to stream UI components.
3. Implement A2UI: Configure the backend to serve dynamic UI chunks (e.g., using React Server Components, HTMX responses).
4. Verify: Ensure the UI updates smoothly without full page reloads and maintains state.

Security & Guardrails

1. Skill Security

• Injection Prevention: Validate all incoming data from the UI to prevent command/SQL injection on the agent backend.
• Resource Constraints: Limit WebSocket connections and payload sizes to prevent DoS via flood requests.

2. System Integration Security

• Origin Verification: Explicitly enforce strict CORS policies for all A2UI REST/WebSocket endpoints.
• State Integrity: Prevent client-side manipulation of agent context IDs or session tokens.
