SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill resolves the common issue of WhatsApp-style chat UIs where the AI does not respond to user messages, covering root causes across the backend API, frontend state management, SSE streaming, mobile layout, and file attachment handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layer-by-layer diagnosis: Guides you to test the backend API first, then isolate issues to frontend state, SSE parsing, or infrastructure (nginx/Vite) to avoid misdiagnosis.
  • Comprehensive bug fixes: Includes solutions for 10+ common issues including API body format mismatches, missing React dispatch calls, SSE chunk parsing errors, Vite proxy timeouts, and SQLite base64 truncation.
  • Use case: A developer building a React chat app can use this Skill to fix broken AI response streaming, resolve mobile layout issues where the input bar is hidden, and enable proper display of uploaded PDF and image attachments.

Quick Start

Use this skill to debug a chat UI where the AI does not respond to user messages, starting with testing the backend API endpoint with curl to isolate whether the issue is in the backend or frontend.

FAQPage Schema
Why does my AI chat UI not respond to user messages?

AI chat UI non-response failures are typically caused by frontend-backend integration misconfigurations, such as API body format mismatches, missing React dispatch calls, or SSE parsing errors. You should test the backend API first to isolate the issue.

How do I debug SSE streaming errors in a React chat application?

To debug SSE streaming errors in a React chat application, check for SSE chunk parsing errors and verify React state management updates. Ensure missing dispatch calls are fixed and validate that the Vite proxy configuration does not cause streaming timeouts.

How do I fix a hidden input bar in a mobile chat layout?

Fixing a hidden input bar in a mobile chat layout involves adjusting mobile responsive design configurations in your WhatsApp-style chat UI. This requires debugging CSS layout constraints to ensure the input interface remains visible on mobile screens.

What is the best way to diagnose file attachment display issues in a chat app?

The best way to diagnose file attachment display issues is to check for SQLite base64 truncation in the backend and verify API body format mismatches. Ensure proper handling for uploaded PDF and image attachments in the frontend rendering logic.

Can I use curl to isolate frontend-backend integration bugs in chat apps?

Yes, you can use curl to test the backend API endpoint directly, which isolates whether integration bugs originate from the backend or the React frontend. This layer-by-layer diagnosis prevents misdiagnosis of SSE streaming and state management issues.

What causes Vite proxy timeouts during AI response streaming?

Vite proxy timeouts during AI response streaming occur when frontend-backend integration configurations drop active connections. Resolving this requires adjusting proxy timeout settings to support continuous SSE streaming without interrupting chat responses.
