Render Google A2UI v0.9 surfaces natively on Compose Multiplatform, driven over AG-UI streaming transport, with CopilotKit-style generative-UI actions layered on top.

Kotlin Multiplatform. Material3 catalog. Host-owned theming. No WebView.

Closed component vocabulary. The catalog is the trust boundary. Agents cannot invent widgets the client has not registered — unknown components render a muted FallbackPlaceholder, never arbitrary code. Every rendered pixel comes from a factory you shipped in the binary.

Local-first input binding. Inputs mutate the local DataModel synchronously via JSON Pointer paths — TextField, Slider, CheckBox, ChoicePicker, DateTimeInput all two-way bind without a server round-trip. Only explicit event declarations flush to the agent. IME latency stays native.

Host-owned theming. Agents supply semantic hints (primary, error, variants). Compose resolves them through MaterialTheme. Off-brand colors and inaccessible contrast are physically not expressible in the wire format.

Design rationale in SYNTHESIS.md; module graph in ARCHITECTURE.md.

Add the dependency (planned coords — not yet published to Maven Central):

// build.gradle.kts
dependencies {
    implementation("dev.mikepenz.a2cui:a2cui-compose:0.1.0-a02")
    // optional:
    // implementation("dev.mikepenz.a2cui:a2cui-agui:0.1.0-a02")
    // implementation("dev.mikepenz.a2cui:a2cui-actions:0.1.0-a02")
}

Minimum viable surface:

@Composable
fun Demo() {
    val transport = remember { FakeTransport() }
    val controller = rememberSurfaceController(
        catalogs = listOf(Material3BasicCatalog),
        transport = transport,
    )
    LaunchedEffect(transport) {
        transport.emit(CREATE_SURFACE)
        transport.emit(UPDATE_COMPONENTS)
    }
    A2cuiSurface(surfaceId = "main", controller = controller)
}

First frames to paste in:

{ "version": "v0.9",
  "createSurface": { "surfaceId": "main",
    "catalogId": "https://a2ui.org/specification/v0_9/basic_catalog.json" } }

{ "version": "v0.9",
  "updateComponents": { "surfaceId": "main", "components": [
    { "id": "root",  "component": "Column", "children": ["hello", "go"] },
    { "id": "hello", "component": "Text",   "text": "Hello from an agent", "variant": "h2" },
    { "id": "go",    "component": "Button", "label": "Continue",
      "action": { "event": { "name": "submit" } } }
  ] } }

Swap FakeTransport() for SseTransport(...) or WebSocketTransport(...) when you wire a real agent.

Per STATUS.md §2.2:

One-line summary per publishable module. Each links to its own README (authored separately).

• :a2cui-core — A2UI v0.9 wire types, parser, DataModel, JsonPointer, BindingResolver. Pure Kotlin, zero Compose.
• :a2cui-transport — A2uiTransport interface plus Ktor SseTransport, WebSocketTransport, and FakeTransport for tests.
• :a2cui-compose — SurfaceController, A2cuiSurface, ComponentRegistry, and the 15-component Material3BasicCatalog.
• :a2cui-agui — AG-UI event decoder, AguiA2cuiBridge, AguiStateReducer (JSON Patch), interrupt awaiter, rememberCoAgentState.
• :a2cui-actions — CopilotKit-style rememberAction / rememberReadable with typed streaming-args decoding.
• :a2cui-adaptive-cards — Adaptive Cards v1.6 → A2UI v0.9 mapper for Copilot Studio interop.
• :a2cui-codegen — KSP processor for @A2uiComponent emitting catalog factories, JSON Schema, and tool-prompt fragments.
• :a2cui-codegen-annotations — multiplatform annotations consumed by :a2cui-codegen.

• a2cui-sample — Compose Desktop app wrapping the shared sample in a Window. Run: ./gradlew :a2cui-sample:run.
• a2cui-sample-shared — A2cuiSampleApp composable + SampleFrames, shared across desktop / android / ios hosts.
• a2cui-sample-android — MainActivity hosting the shared sample inside an Activity.
• a2cui-sample-ios — SampleViewController exposing the shared sample as a ComposeUIViewController.
• a2cui-sample-live — desktop host spinning up MockAguiServer in-process and wiring SseTransport → AguiA2cuiBridge → A2cuiSurface.
• a2cui-sample-custom-catalog — dogfoods :a2cui-codegen: annotated RatingFactory + BadgeFactory compile into a CustomDemoCatalog.

Runnable backends that emit AG-UI events wrapping A2UI frames — point :a2cui-sample-live (or your own host) at them:

• integrations/pydantic-ai/ — Python + Pydantic AI scaffold.
• integrations/mastra/ — TypeScript + Mastra scaffold.

Both speak AG-UI over SSE with CUSTOM { name: "a2ui" } frames carrying A2UI v0.9 JSON.

• Stable (v0.1) — wire types, parser, transports, Material3BasicCatalog, AguiA2cuiBridge, rememberAction, :a2cui-adaptive-cards, :a2cui-codegen. 125 tests green on JVM; Android / iOS / macOS / JS / WASM compile.
• Experimental — @ExperimentalA2uiDraft primitives (DataModelPatch, ScrollTo, Viewport, Conditional) ahead of upstream A2UI spec changes. AG-UI interrupt resume semantics still draft.
• Next — real Pydantic AI / Mastra / ADK integration, Paparazzi snapshot tests on Android, Maven Central publish, Compose MP 1.11 deprecation migration, optional WebResource escape-hatch for MCP Apps.
