Chapter 74: Async Patterns & Streaming
Build async muscle for AI interactions. This chapter creates an async-streaming skill to handle Promises, cancellation, SSE, and streaming transports for chat/voice agents.
Goals
- Use Promises/async-await with robust error handling
- Handle streaming via SSE and streamable HTTP transports
- Implement cancellation (AbortController) and retries/timeouts
- Capture patterns in a reusable async/streaming skill
Lesson Progression
- Async foundations and Promise patterns
- Streaming with SSE and HTTP streaming APIs
- Cancellation, retries, and timeouts
- Capstone: streaming client utilities; finalize the skill
Outcome & Method
You finish with reusable streaming utilities and an async/streaming skill ready for later chapters and capstones.
