+This library provides composable filter and transformation utilities for UI message streams created by [`streamText()`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-core/stream-text) in the AI SDK.
 
 ### Why?
 
 The AI SDK UI message stream created by [`toUIMessageStream()`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-core/stream-text#to-ui-message-stream) streams all parts (text, tools, reasoning, etc.) to the client by default. However, you may want to:
 
-- **Filter**: Tool calls like database queries often contain large amounts of data or sensitive information that should not be visible on the client
+- **Filter**: Tool calls like database queries often contain large amounts of data or sensitive information that should not be streamed to the client
 - **Transform**: Modify text or tool outputs while they are streamed to the client
+- **Observe**: Log stream lifecycle events, tool calls, or other chunks without consuming or modifying the stream
 
 This library provides type-safe, composable utilities for all these use cases.
 
 ### Installation
 
-This library only supports AI SDK v5.
+This library supports AI SDK v5 and v6.
 
 ```bash
 npm install ai-stream-utils
 ```

 ## Usage
 
-### `mapUIMessageStream`
+The `pipe` function provides a composable pipeline API for filtering, transforming, and observing UI message streams. Multiple operators can be chained together, and type guards automatically narrow chunk and part types, thus enabling type-safe stream transformations with autocomplete.
 
-The `mapUIMessageStream` function operates on chunks and can be used to transform or filter individual chunks as they stream through. It receives the current chunk and the partial part representing all already processed chunks.
+### `.filter()`
+
+Filter chunks by returning `true` to keep or `false` to exclude.
 
 ```typescript
-import { mapUIMessageStream } from 'ai-stream-utils';
+const stream = pipe(result.toUIMessageStream())
+  .filter(({ chunk, part }) => {
+    // chunk.type: "text-delta" | "text-start" | "tool-input-available" | ...
+    // part.type: "text" | "reasoning" | "tool-weather" | ...
 
-const stream = mapUIMessageStream(
-  result.toUIMessageStream<MyUIMessage>(),
-  ({ chunk, part }) => {
-    // Transform: modify the chunk
-    if (chunk.type === 'text-delta') {
-      return { ...chunk, delta: chunk.delta.toUpperCase() };
-    }
-    // Filter: return null to exclude chunks
-    if (part.type === 'tool-weather') {
-      return null;
+    if (chunk.type === "data-weather") {
+      return false; // exclude chunk
     }
-    return chunk;
-  }
-);
+
+    return true; // keep chunk
+  })
+  .toStream();
 ```
 
-### `flatMapUIMessageStream`
+**Type guards** provide a simpler API for common filtering patterns:
 
-The `flatMapUIMessageStream` function operates on parts. It buffers all chunks of a particular type (e.g. text parts) until the part is complete and then transforms or filters the complete part. The optional predicate `partTypeIs()` can be used to selectively buffer only specific parts while streaming others through immediately.
+- `includeChunks("text-delta")` or `includeChunks(["text-delta", "text-end"])`: Include specific chunk types
+- `excludeChunks("text-delta")` or `excludeChunks(["text-delta", "text-end"])`: Exclude specific chunk types
+- `includeParts("text")` or `includeParts(["text", "reasoning"])`: Include specific part types
+- `excludeParts("reasoning")` or `excludeParts(["reasoning", "tool-database"])`: Exclude specific part types
 
-```typescript
-import { flatMapUIMessageStream, partTypeIs } from 'ai-stream-utils';
+**Example:** Exclude tool calls from the client.
 
-const stream = flatMapUIMessageStream(
-  result.toUIMessageStream<MyUIMessage>(),
-  // Predicate to only buffer tool-weather parts and pass through other parts
-  partTypeIs('tool-weather'),
-  ({ part }) => {
-    // Transform: modify the complete part
-    if (part.state === 'output-available') {
-      return { ...part, output: { ...part.output, temperature: toFahrenheit(part.output.temperature) } };
-    }
-    // Filter: return null to exclude parts
-    return part;
-  }
-);
+```typescript
+const stream = pipe(result.toUIMessageStream())
+  .filter(excludeParts(["tool-weather", "tool-database"]))
+  .toStream();
 ```
 
-### `filterUIMessageStream`
+### `.map()`
 
-The `filterUIMessageStream` function is a convenience function around `mapUIMessageStream` with a simpler API to filter chunks by part type. It provides the  `includeParts()` and `excludeParts()` predicates for common patterns.
+Transform chunks by returning a chunk, an array of chunks, or `null` to exclude.
 
 ```typescript
-import { filterUIMessageStream, includeParts, excludeParts } from 'ai-stream-utils';
+const stream = pipe(result.toUIMessageStream())
+  .map(({ chunk, part }) => {
+    // chunk.type: "text-delta" | "text-start" | "tool-input-available" | ...
+    // part.type: "text" | "reasoning" | "tool-weather" | ...
 
-// Include only specific parts
-const stream = filterUIMessageStream(
-  result.toUIMessageStream<MyUIMessage>(),
-  includeParts(['text', 'tool-weather'])
-);
+    if (chunk.type === "text-start") {
+      return chunk; // pass through unchanged
+    }
 
-// Exclude specific parts
-const stream = filterUIMessageStream(
-  result.toUIMessageStream<MyUIMessage>(),
-  excludeParts(['reasoning', 'tool-database'])
-);
+    if (chunk.type === "text-delta") {
+      return { ...chunk, delta: "modified" }; // transform chunk
+    }
 
-// Custom filter function
-const stream = filterUIMessageStream(
-  result.toUIMessageStream<MyUIMessage>(),
-  ({ part, chunk }) => {
-    if (part.type === 'text') return true;
-    if (chunk.type === 'tool-input-available') return true;
-    return false;
-  }
-);
-```
+    if (chunk.type === "data-weather") {
+      return [chunk1, chunk2]; // emit multiple chunks
+    }
 
-### `consumeUIMessageStream`
+    return null; // exclude chunk (same as filter)
+  })
+  .toStream();
+```
 
-The `consumeUIMessageStream` function consumes a UI message stream by fully reading it and returns the final assembled message. This is useful when you need to process the complete message on the server-side without streaming to the client.
+**Example:** Convert text to uppercase.
 
 ```typescript
-import { consumeUIMessageStream } from 'ai-stream-utils';
-
-const result = streamText({
-  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
-  prompt: 'Tell me a joke',
-});
-
-/* Consume the entire stream and get the final message */
-const message = await consumeUIMessageStream(
-  result.toUIMessageStream<MyUIMessage>()
-);
+const stream = pipe(result.toUIMessageStream())
+  .map(({ chunk }) => {
+    if (chunk.type === "text-delta") {
+      return { ...chunk, delta: chunk.delta.toUpperCase() };
+    }
 
-console.log(message.parts); // All parts fully assembled
+    return chunk;
+  })
+  .toStream();
 ```
 
-## Examples
+### `.on()`
 
-### Smooth Streaming
-
-Buffers multiple text chunks into a string, splits at word boundaries and re-emits each word as a separate chunk for smoother UI rendering. See [examples/smooth-streaming.ts](./examples/smooth-streaming.ts) for the full implementation.
+Observe chunks without modifying the stream. The callback is invoked for matching chunks.
 
 ```typescript
-import { mapUIMessageStream } from 'ai-stream-utils';
+const stream = pipe(result.toUIMessageStream())
+  .on(
+    ({ chunk, part }) => {
+      // return true to invoke callback, false to skip
+      return chunk.type === "text-delta";
+    },
+    ({ chunk, part }) => {
+      // callback invoked for matching chunks
+      console.log(chunk, part);
+    },
+  )
+  .toStream();
+```
 
-const WORD_REGEX = /\S+\s+/m;
-let buffer = '';
+**Type guard** provides a type-safe way to observe specific chunk types:
 
-const smoothedStream = mapUIMessageStream(
-  result.toUIMessageStream(),
-  ({ chunk }) => {
-    if (chunk.type !== 'text-delta') {
-      // Flush buffer on non-text chunks
-      if (buffer.length > 0) {
-        const flushed = { type: 'text-delta' as const, id: chunk.id, delta: buffer };
-        buffer = '';
-        return [flushed, chunk];
-      }
-      return chunk;
-    }
+- `chunkType("text-delta")` or `chunkType(["start", "finish"])`: Observe specific chunk types
+- `partType("text")` or `partType(["text", "reasoning"])`: Observe chunks belonging to specific part types
 
-    // Append the text delta to the buffer
-    buffer += chunk.delta;
-    const chunks = [];
-    
-    let match;
-    while ((match = WORD_REGEX.exec(buffer)) !== null) {
-      chunks.push({ type: 'text-delta', id: chunk.id, delta: buffer.slice(0, match.index + match[0].length) });
-      buffer = buffer.slice(match.index + match[0].length);
-    }
-    // Emit the word-by-word chunks
-    return chunks;
-  }
-);
+> [!NOTE]
+> The `partType` type guard still operates on chunks. That means `partType("text")` will match any text chunks such as `text-start`, `text-delta`, and `text-end`.
+
+**Example:** Log stream lifecycle events.
 
-// Output: word-by-word streaming
-// { type: 'text-delta', delta: 'Why ' }
-// { type: 'text-delta', delta: "don't " }
-// { type: 'text-delta', delta: 'scientists ' }
+```typescript
+const stream = pipe(result.toUIMessageStream())
+  .on(chunkType("start"), () => {
+    console.log("Stream started");
+  })
+  .on(chunkType("finish"), ({ chunk }) => {
+    console.log("Stream finished:", chunk.finishReason);
+  })
+  .on(chunkType("tool-input-available"), ({ chunk }) => {
+    console.log("Tool called:", chunk.toolName, chunk.input);
+  })
+  .toStream();
 ```
 
-### Redacting Sensitive Data
+### `.toStream()`
 
-Buffer tool calls until complete, then redact sensitive fields before streaming to the client. See [examples/order-lookup.ts](./examples/order-lookup.ts) for the full example.
+Convert the pipeline back to a `AsyncIterableStream<InferUIMessageChunk<UI_MESSAGE>>` that can be returned to the client or consumed.
 
 ```typescript
-import { flatMapUIMessageStream, partTypeIs } from 'ai-stream-utils';
-
-const tools = {
-  lookupOrder: tool({
-    description: 'Look up order details by order ID',
-    inputSchema: z.object({
-      orderId: z.string().describe('The order ID to look up'),
-    }),
-    execute: ({ orderId }) => ({
-      orderId,
-      status: 'shipped',
-      items: ['iPhone 15'],
-      total: 1299.99,
-      email: 'customer@example.com',        // Sensitive
-      address: '123 Main St, SF, CA 94102', // Sensitive
-    }),
-  }),
-};
+const stream = pipe(result.toUIMessageStream())
+  .filter(({ chunk }) => {})
+  .map(({ chunk }) => {})
+  .toStream();
 
-const result = streamText({
-  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
-  prompt: 'Where is my order #12345?',
-  tools,
-});
+// Iterate with for-await-of
+for await (const chunk of stream) {
+  console.log(chunk);
+}
 
-// Buffer tool-lookupOrder parts, stream text parts immediately
-const redactedStream = flatMapUIMessageStream(
-  result.toUIMessageStream<MyUIMessage>(),
-  partTypeIs('tool-lookupOrder'),
-  ({ part }) => {
-    if (part.state === 'output-available') {
-      return {
-        ...part,
-        output: {
-          ...part.output,
-          email: '[REDACTED]',
-          address: '[REDACTED]',
-        },
-      };
-    }
-    return part;
-  },
-);
+// Consume as ReadableStream
+for await (const message of readUIMessageStream({ stream })) {
+  console.log(message);
+}
 
-// Text streams immediately, tool output is redacted:
-// { type: 'text-delta', delta: 'Let me look that up...' }
-// { type: 'tool-output-available', output: { orderId: '12345', email: '[REDACTED]', address: '[REDACTED]' } }
+// Return to client with useChat()
+return stream;
 ```
 
-### Conditional Part Injection
+### Chaining and Type Narrowing
 
-Inspect previously streamed parts to conditionally inject new parts. This example creates a text part from a tool call message if the model didn't generate one. See [examples/ask-permission.ts](./examples/ask-permission.ts) for the full example.
+Multiple operators can be chained together. After filtering with type guards, chunk and part types are narrowed automatically.
 
 ```typescript
-import { flatMapUIMessageStream, partTypeIs } from 'ai-stream-utils';
+const stream = pipe<MyUIMessage>(result.toUIMessageStream())
+  .filter(includeParts("text"))
+  .map(({ chunk, part }) => {
+    // chunk is narrowed to text chunks only
+    // part.type is narrowed to "text"
+    return chunk;
+  })
+  .toStream();
+```
 
-const tools = {
-  askForPermission: tool({
-    description: 'Ask for permission to access current location',
-    inputSchema: z.object({
-      message: z.string().describe('The message to ask for permission'),
-    }),
-  }),
-};
+### Control Chunks
 
-const result = streamText({
-  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
-  prompt: 'Is it sunny today?',
-  tools,
-});
+[Control chunks](https://github.com/vercel/ai/blob/main/packages/ai/src/ui-message-stream/ui-message-chunks.ts#L278-L293) always pass through regardless of filter/transform settings:
 
-// Buffer askForPermission tool calls, check if text was already generated
-const stream = flatMapUIMessageStream(
-  result.toUIMessageStream<MyUIMessage>(),
-  partTypeIs('tool-askForPermission'),
-  (current, context) => {
-    if (current.part.state === 'input-available') {
-      // Check if a text part was already streamed
-      const hasTextPart = context.parts.some((p) => p.type === 'text');
-      
-      if (!hasTextPart) {
-        // Inject a text part from the tool call message
-        return [
-          { type: 'text', text: current.part.input.message },
-          current.part,
-        ];
-      }
-    }
-    return current.part;
-  },
-);

-## Type Safety
+## Deprecated Functions
 
-The [`toUIMessageStream()`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-core/stream-text#to-ui-message-stream) from [`streamText()`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-core/stream-text) returns a generic `ReadableStream<UIMessageChunk>`, which means the part types cannot be inferred automatically.
+> [!WARNING]
+> These functions are deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use `pipe()` instead.
 
-To enable autocomplete and type-safety, pass your [`UIMessage`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-core/ui-message#creating-your-own-uimessage-type) type as a generic parameter:
+### `mapUIMessageStream`
 
 ```typescript
-import type { UIMessage, InferUITools } from 'ai';
+import { mapUIMessageStream } from "ai-stream-utils";
 
-type MyUIMessageMetadata = {};
-type MyDataPart = {};
-type MyTools = InferUITools<typeof tools>;
+const stream = mapUIMessageStream(result.toUIMessageStream(), ({ chunk }) => {
+  if (chunk.type === "text-delta") {
+    return { ...chunk, delta: chunk.delta.toUpperCase() };
+  }
+  return chunk;
+});
+```
 
-type MyUIMessage = UIMessage<
-  MyUIMessageMetadata,
-  MyDataPart,
-  MyTools
->;
+### `filterUIMessageStream`
 
-// Use MyUIMessage type when creating the UI message stream
-const uiStream = result.toUIMessageStream<MyUIMessage>();
+```typescript
+import { filterUIMessageStream, includeParts } from "ai-stream-utils";
 
-// Type-safe filtering with autocomplete
 const stream = filterUIMessageStream(
-  uiStream,
-  includeParts(['text', 'tool-weather']) // Autocomplete works!
-);
-
-// Type-safe chunk mapping
-const stream = mapUIMessageStream(
-  uiStream,
-  ({ chunk, part }) => {
-    // part.type is typed based on MyUIMessage
-    return chunk;
-  }
+  result.toUIMessageStream(),
+  includeParts(["text", "tool-weather"]),
 );
 ```
 
-## Client-Side Usage
-
-The transformed stream has the same type as the original UI message stream. You can consume it with [`useChat()`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-ui/use-chat) or [`readUIMessageStream()`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-ui/read-ui-message-stream).
-
-Since message parts may be different on the client vs. the server, you may need to reconcile message parts when the client sends messages back to the server.
-
-If you save messages to a database and configure `useChat()` to [only send the last message](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/ai-sdk-ui/chatbot-message-persistence#sending-only-the-last-message), you can read existing messages from the database. This means the model will have access to all message parts, including filtered parts not available on the client.
-
-## Part Type Mapping
-
-The transformations operate on [UIMessagePart](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-core/ui-message#uimessagepart-types) types, which are derived from [UIMessageChunk](https://github.com/vercel/ai/blob/main/packages/ai/src/ui-message-stream/ui-message-chunks.ts) types:
-

-### Control Chunks
-
-[Control chunks](https://github.com/vercel/ai/blob/main/packages/ai/src/ui-message-stream/ui-message-chunks.ts#L278-L293) always pass through regardless of filter/transform settings:
-
-- `start`: Stream start marker
-- `finish`: Stream finish marker
-- `abort`: Stream abort marker
-- `message-metadata`: Message metadata updates
-- `error`: Error messages
-
-### Step Boundary Handling
-
-Step boundaries are handled automatically:
-
-1. `start-step` is buffered until the first content chunk is encountered
-2. If the first content chunk passes through, `start-step` is included
-3. If the first content chunk is filtered out, `start-step` is also filtered out
-4. `finish-step` is only included if the corresponding `start-step` was included

-### `flatMapUIMessageStream`
+## Type Safety
 
-```typescript
-// Without predicate - buffer all parts
-function flatMapUIMessageStream<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage>(
-  stream: ReadableStream<UIMessageChunk>,
-  flatMapFn: FlatMapUIMessageStreamFn<UI_MESSAGE>,
-): AsyncIterableStream<InferUIMessageChunk<UI_MESSAGE>>
-
-// With predicate - buffer only matching parts, pass through others
-function flatMapUIMessageStream<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage, PART extends InferUIMessagePart<UI_MESSAGE>>(
-  stream: ReadableStream<UIMessageChunk>,
-  predicate: FlatMapUIMessageStreamPredicate<UI_MESSAGE, PART>,
-  flatMapFn: FlatMapUIMessageStreamFn<UI_MESSAGE, PART>,
-): AsyncIterableStream<InferUIMessageChunk<UI_MESSAGE>>
-
-type FlatMapUIMessageStreamFn<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage, PART = InferUIMessagePart<UI_MESSAGE>> = (
-  input: FlatMapInput<UI_MESSAGE, PART>,
-  context: FlatMapContext<UI_MESSAGE>,
-) => InferUIMessagePart<UI_MESSAGE> | InferUIMessagePart<UI_MESSAGE>[] | null;
-
-type FlatMapInput<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage, PART = InferUIMessagePart<UI_MESSAGE>> = {
-  part: PART;
-};
-
-type FlatMapContext<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage> = {

-  parts: InferUIMessagePart<UI_MESSAGE>[];
-};

+The [`toUIMessageStream()`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-core/stream-text#to-ui-message-stream) from [`streamText()`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-core/stream-text) returns a generic `ReadableStream<UIMessageChunk>`, which means the part types cannot be inferred automatically.
 
-#### `partTypeIs`
+To enable autocomplete and type-safety, pass your [`UIMessage`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-core/ui-message#creating-your-own-uimessage-type) type as a generic parameter:
 
 ```typescript
-function partTypeIs<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage, T extends InferUIMessagePartType<UI_MESSAGE>>(
-  type: T | T[],
-): FlatMapUIMessageStreamPredicate<UI_MESSAGE, Extract<InferUIMessagePart<UI_MESSAGE>, { type: T }>>
+import type { UIMessage, InferUITools } from "ai";
 
-type FlatMapUIMessageStreamPredicate<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage, PART extends InferUIMessagePart<UI_MESSAGE>> = 
-  (part: InferUIMessagePart<UI_MESSAGE>) => boolean;
-```
-
-### `filterUIMessageStream`
+type MyUIMessageMetadata = {};
+type MyDataPart = {};
+type MyTools = InferUITools<typeof tools>;
 
-```typescript
-function filterUIMessageStream<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage>(
-  stream: ReadableStream<UIMessageChunk>,
-  filterFn: FilterUIMessageStreamPredicate<UI_MESSAGE>,
-): AsyncIterableStream<InferUIMessageChunk<UI_MESSAGE>>
-
-type FilterUIMessageStreamPredicate<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage> = (
-  input: MapInput<UI_MESSAGE>,
-  context: MapContext<UI_MESSAGE>,
-) => boolean;
-```
+type MyUIMessage = UIMessage<MyUIMessageMetadata, MyDataPart, MyTools>;
 
-#### `includeParts`
+// Use MyUIMessage type when creating the UI message stream
+const uiStream = result.toUIMessageStream<MyUIMessage>();
 
-```typescript
-function includeParts<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage>(
-  partTypes: Array<InferUIMessagePartType<UI_MESSAGE>>,
-): FilterUIMessageStreamPredicate<UI_MESSAGE>
+// Type-safe filtering with autocomplete
+const stream = pipe<MyUIMessage>(uiStream)
+  .filter(includeParts(["text", "tool-weather"])) // Autocomplete works!
+  .map(({ chunk, part }) => {
+    // part.type is typed based on MyUIMessage
+    return chunk;
+  })
+  .toStream();
 ```
 
-#### `excludeParts`
+## Client-Side Usage
 
-```typescript
-function excludeParts<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage>(
-  partTypes: Array<InferUIMessagePartType<UI_MESSAGE>>,
-): FilterUIMessageStreamPredicate<UI_MESSAGE>
-```
+The transformed stream has the same type as the original UI message stream. You can consume it with [`useChat()`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-ui/use-chat) or [`readUIMessageStream()`](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-ui/read-ui-message-stream).
 
-### `consumeUIMessageStream`
+Since message parts may be different on the client vs. the server, you may need to reconcile message parts when the client sends messages back to the server.
 
-```typescript
-async function consumeUIMessageStream<UI_MESSAGE extends UIMessage>(
-  stream: ReadableStream<InferUIMessageChunk<UI_MESSAGE>>,
-): Promise<UI_MESSAGE>
-```
+If you save messages to a database and configure `useChat()` to [only send the last message](https://ai-sdk.dev/docs/ai-sdk-ui/chatbot-message-persistence#sending-only-the-last-message), you can read existing messages from the database. This means the model will have access to all message parts, including filtered parts not available on the client.
