Verify Prerequisites\n\nBefore installing AI Elements, ensure these are already set up:\n\n```bash\n# Check Next.js version (needs 15+)\nnpx next --version\n\n# Check AI SDK version (needs 5+)\nnpm list ai\n\n# Check shadcn\u002Fui is initialized\nls components\u002Fui  # Should exist with button.tsx etc\n```\n\n**Why this matters:**\n- AI Elements is built ON TOP of shadcn\u002Fui (won't work without it)\n- Requires Next.js App Router (Pages Router not supported)\n- AI SDK v5 has breaking changes from v4\n\n**Missing prerequisites?** Use the `tailwind-v4-shadcn` skill first, then install AI SDK:\n```bash\npnpm add ai@latest\n```\n\n### 2. Install AI Elements CLI\n\n```bash\n# Initialize AI Elements in your project\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest init\n\n# Add your first components\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add message conversation response prompt-input\n```\n\n**CRITICAL:**\n- Components are copied into `components\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002F` (NOT installed as npm package)\n- Full source code ownership (modify as needed)\n- Registry URL must be correct in `components.json`\n\n### 3. Create Basic Chat Interface\n\n```typescript\n\u002F\u002F app\u002Fchat\u002Fpage.tsx\n'use client';\n\nimport { useChat } from 'ai\u002Freact';\nimport { Conversation } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fconversation';\nimport { Message } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fmessage';\nimport { MessageContent } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fmessage-content';\nimport { Response } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fresponse';\nimport { PromptInput } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fprompt-input';\n\nexport default function ChatPage() {\n  const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit, isLoading } = useChat({\n    api: '\u002Fapi\u002Fchat'\n  });\n\n  return (\n    \u003Cdiv className=\"flex h-screen flex-col\">\n      \u003CConversation className=\"flex-1\">\n        {messages.map((msg) => (\n          \u003CMessage key={msg.id} role={msg.role}>\n            \u003CMessageContent>\n              \u003CResponse markdown={msg.content} \u002F>\n            \u003C\u002FMessageContent>\n          \u003C\u002FMessage>\n        ))}\n      \u003C\u002FConversation>\n\n      \u003CPromptInput\n        value={input}\n        onChange={handleInputChange}\n        onSubmit={handleSubmit}\n        disabled={isLoading}\n      \u002F>\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n  );\n}\n```\n\nDone! You now have a working chat interface with:\n- ✅ Streaming markdown rendering\n- ✅ Auto-scrolling conversation\n- ✅ Auto-resizing input\n- ✅ Role-based message styling\n\n---\n\n## The 5-Step Setup Process\n\n### Step 1: Install AI Elements CLI\n\n```bash\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest init\n```\n\nThis:\n- Creates `components\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002F` directory\n- Updates `components.json` with AI Elements registry\n- Adds necessary dependencies to package.json\n\n**Key Points:**\n- Run from project root (where package.json is)\n- Requires shadcn\u002Fui already initialized\n- Will fail if `components.json` missing (run `pnpm dlx shadcn@latest init` first)\n\n### Step 2: Add Core Chat Components\n\n```bash\n# Essential components for basic chat\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add message message-content conversation response\n\n# Optional: Input component\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add prompt-input actions suggestion\n```\n\n**Component Purpose:**\n- `message`: Container for single message (user\u002FAI)\n- `message-content`: Wrapper for message parts\n- `conversation`: Auto-scrolling chat container\n- `response`: Markdown renderer (streaming-optimized)\n- `prompt-input`: Auto-resizing textarea with toolbar\n- `actions`: Copy\u002Fregenerate\u002Fedit buttons\n- `suggestion`: Quick prompt pills\n\n### Step 3: Add Advanced Components (Optional)\n\n```bash\n# For tool calling\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add tool\n\n# For reasoning display (Claude\u002Fo1 style)\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add reasoning\n\n# For source citations (Perplexity style)\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add sources inline-citation\n\n# For code highlighting\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add code-block\n\n# For conversation branching\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add branch\n\n# For task lists\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add task\n\n# For AI-generated images\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add image\n\n# For web previews (Claude artifacts style)\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add web-preview\n\n# For loading states\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add loader\n```\n\n**When to add each:**\n- `tool`: Building AI assistants with function calling\n- `reasoning`: Showing AI's thinking process (like Claude or o1)\n- `sources`: Adding citations and references (like Perplexity)\n- `code-block`: Chat includes code snippets\n- `branch`: Multi-turn conversations with variations\n- `task`: AI generates task lists with file references\n- `image`: AI generates images (DALL-E, Stable Diffusion)\n- `web-preview`: AI generates HTML\u002Fwebsites (Claude artifacts)\n- `loader`: Show loading states during streaming\n\n### Step 4: Create API Route\n\nCreate `\u002Fapp\u002Fapi\u002Fchat\u002Froute.ts`:\n\n```typescript\nimport { openai } from '@ai-sdk\u002Fopenai';\nimport { streamText } from 'ai';\n\nexport async function POST(req: Request) {\n  const { messages } = await req.json();\n\n  const result = streamText({\n    model: openai('gpt-4o'),\n    messages,\n  });\n\n  return result.toDataStreamResponse();\n}\n```\n\n**Key Points:**\n- Must use AI SDK v5 `streamText()` (not v4 `OpenAIStream()`)\n- Returns `toDataStreamResponse()` for streaming\n- Client auto-receives updates via `useChat()` hook\n\n### Step 5: Verify Installation\n\n```bash\n# Check components installed\nls components\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002F\n\n# Expected output:\n# message.tsx, message-content.tsx, conversation.tsx, response.tsx, prompt-input.tsx, ...\n\n# Start dev server\npnpm dev\n\n# Test chat interface at http:\u002F\u002Flocalhost:3000\u002Fchat\n```\n\n**Verification Checklist:**\n- [ ] All components in `components\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002F`\n- [ ] `components.json` has AI Elements registry\n- [ ] No TypeScript errors\n- [ ] Chat interface renders\n- [ ] Streaming works (type message → get response)\n- [ ] Auto-scroll works during streaming\n\n---\n\n## Critical Rules\n\n### Always Do\n\n✅ **Initialize shadcn\u002Fui BEFORE AI Elements** - AI Elements requires shadcn\u002Fui as foundation\n✅ **Use AI SDK v5** - v4 is incompatible (breaking changes)\n✅ **Use Next.js App Router** - Pages Router not supported\n✅ **Wrap with `'use client'`** - All AI Elements components are client-side\n✅ **Pass raw markdown to Response component** - Not pre-rendered HTML\n✅ **Use Conversation component as container** - Handles auto-scroll and virtualization\n✅ **Conditionally show voice input** - Only works in Chrome\u002FEdge (not Firefox\u002FSafari)\n✅ **Merge consecutive reasoning blocks** - Prevent duplication in long responses\n\n### Never Do\n\n❌ **Install AI Elements as npm package** - It's a CLI tool that copies components\n❌ **Use with AI SDK v4** - Will fail with type errors and data format issues\n❌ **Forget `'use client'` directive** - Components use React hooks (client-only)\n❌ **Mix with other component libraries** - Built for shadcn\u002Fui only (Tailwind classes)\n❌ **Manually write component code** - Use CLI to ensure correct patterns\n❌ **Skip prerequisites check** - Will fail silently with confusing errors\n❌ **Use in Pages Router** - Requires App Router features\n❌ **Assume voice input works everywhere** - Web Speech API is Chrome\u002FEdge only\n\n---\n\n## Known Issues Prevention\n\nThis skill prevents **8** documented issues:\n\n### Issue #1: PromptInputSpeechButton Not Working (Firefox\u002FSafari)\n**Error**: Voice input button doesn't respond or throws `SpeechRecognition is not defined`\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fvercel\u002Fai-elements\u002Fissues\u002F210\n**Why It Happens**: Web Speech API only supported in Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge)\n**Prevention**:\n```tsx\n\u002F\u002F Conditionally show voice button\nconst isSpeechSupported = typeof window !== 'undefined' &&\n  ('webkitSpeechRecognition' in window || 'SpeechRecognition' in window);\n\n\u003CPromptInput\n  enableSpeech={isSpeechSupported}\n  \u002F\u002F Fallback: Implement server-side STT (Whisper, Google Speech)\n\u002F>\n```\n\n### Issue #2: PromptInput Not Responsive on Mobile\n**Error**: Input overflows or doesn't resize properly on small screens\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fvercel\u002Fai-elements\u002Fissues\u002F153\n**Why It Happens**: Missing responsive min-height constraints\n**Prevention**:\n```tsx\n\u003CPromptInput\n  className=\"min-h-[100px] sm:min-h-[60px]\"  \u002F\u002F Add responsive classes\n  \u002F\u002F ... other props\n\u002F>\n```\n\n### Issue #3: Multiple Thinking Elements in Long Responses\n**Error**: Duplicate reasoning\u002Fthinking blocks appear instead of single merged block\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fvercel\u002Fai-elements\u002Fissues\u002F106\n**Why It Happens**: Streaming creates separate components for each chunk\n**Prevention**:\n```tsx\n\u002F\u002F Merge reasoning chunks client-side\nconst processedMessages = messages.map(msg => {\n  if (msg.annotations?.reasoning) {\n    \u002F\u002F Combine all reasoning into single string\n    const merged = Array.isArray(msg.annotations.reasoning)\n      ? msg.annotations.reasoning.join('\\n\\n')\n      : msg.annotations.reasoning;\n    return { ...msg, annotations: { ...msg.annotations, reasoning: merged } };\n  }\n  return msg;\n});\n```\n\n### Issue #4: Component Not Found After Installation\n**Error**: `Cannot find module '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fmessage'`\n**Source**: Common user error\n**Why It Happens**: AI Elements not initialized or wrong registry URL\n**Prevention**:\n```bash\n# Verify components.json has correct registry\ncat components.json | grep -A5 \"ai-elements\"\n\n# Re-initialize if missing\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest init\n\n# Check components directory exists\nls components\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002F\n```\n\n### Issue #5: AI SDK v5 Breaking Changes\n**Error**: Type errors, undefined properties, or streaming not working\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fsdk.vercel.ai\u002Fdocs\u002Fai-sdk-core\u002Fmigration\n**Why It Happens**: v5 has breaking API changes from v4\n**Prevention**:\n```typescript\n\u002F\u002F ✅ v5 (correct)\nconst { messages } = useChat();  \u002F\u002F Direct messages array\nmsg.toolInvocations  \u002F\u002F Tool calls here\n\n\u002F\u002F ❌ v4 (incorrect)\nconst { data } = useChat();  \u002F\u002F Wrapped in data object\nmsg.tool_calls  \u002F\u002F Different property name\n```\n\n### Issue #6: Maximum Update Depth Exceeded\n**Error**: React error \"Maximum update depth exceeded\" during streaming\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fvercel\u002Fai-elements\u002Fissues\u002F97\n**Why It Happens**: Infinite re-render loop from unstable callbacks\n**Prevention**:\n```tsx\n\u002F\u002F Memoize callbacks to prevent re-renders\nimport { useCallback } from 'react';\n\nconst { messages } = useChat({\n  api: '\u002Fapi\u002Fchat',\n  onFinish: useCallback((message) => {\n    console.log('Finished', message);\n  }, [])  \u002F\u002F Stable dependency array\n});\n```\n\n### Issue #7: Copy Button Returns HTML Instead of Markdown\n**Error**: Copying message pastes HTML instead of plain markdown\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fvercel\u002Fai-elements\u002Fissues\u002F180\n**Why It Happens**: Actions.Copy uses innerHTML by default\n**Prevention**:\n```tsx\n\u002F\u002F Pass raw markdown content, not rendered HTML\n\u003CActions>\n  \u003CActions.Copy content={msg.content} format=\"markdown\" \u002F>\n\u003C\u002FActions>\n```\n\n### Issue #8: Tailwind v4 CSS Variable Issues\n**Error**: Components have no styling or broken colors\n**Source**: Common with Tailwind v4 migration\n**Why It Happens**: Missing CSS variables or wrong @theme configuration\n**Prevention**:\n```bash\n# Use tailwind-v4-shadcn skill to fix, or manually verify:\n\n# Check src\u002Findex.css has:\n@import \"tailwindcss\";\n\n:root {\n  --background: hsl(0 0% 100%);\n  --foreground: hsl(0 0% 3.9%);\n  \u002F* ... other variables *\u002F\n}\n\n@theme inline {\n  --color-background: var(--background);\n  --color-foreground: var(--foreground);\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n## Configuration Files Reference\n\n### components.json (AI Elements Registry)\n\n```json\n{\n  \"$schema\": \"https:\u002F\u002Fui.shadcn.com\u002Fschema.json\",\n  \"style\": \"new-york\",\n  \"rsc\": false,\n  \"tsx\": true,\n  \"tailwind\": {\n    \"config\": \"\",\n    \"css\": \"src\u002Findex.css\",\n    \"baseColor\": \"zinc\",\n    \"cssVariables\": true,\n    \"prefix\": \"\"\n  },\n  \"aliases\": {\n    \"components\": \"@\u002Fcomponents\",\n    \"utils\": \"@\u002Flib\u002Futils\",\n    \"ui\": \"@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\",\n    \"lib\": \"@\u002Flib\",\n    \"hooks\": \"@\u002Fhooks\"\n  },\n  \"registries\": {\n    \"shadcn\": \"https:\u002F\u002Fui.shadcn.com\u002Fregistry\",\n    \"ai-elements\": \"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.shadcn.io\u002Fai\u002Fregistry\"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n**Why these settings:**\n- `\"rsc\": false` - AI Elements are client components (not RSC compatible)\n- `\"tsx\": true` - TypeScript required for type safety\n- `\"tailwind.config\": \"\"` - Tailwind v4 doesn't use config file\n- `registries` - Both shadcn and AI Elements registries needed\n\n---\n\n## Common Patterns\n\n### Pattern 1: Basic Chat with Actions\n\n```tsx\n'use client';\n\nimport { useChat } from 'ai\u002Freact';\nimport { Conversation, Message, MessageContent, Response, Actions } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai';\nimport { PromptInput } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fprompt-input';\n\nexport default function ChatWithActions() {\n  const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit, reload, stop } = useChat();\n\n  return (\n    \u003Cdiv className=\"flex h-screen flex-col\">\n      \u003CConversation className=\"flex-1\">\n        {messages.map((msg) => (\n          \u003CMessage key={msg.id} role={msg.role}>\n            \u003CMessageContent>\n              \u003CResponse markdown={msg.content} \u002F>\n              {msg.role === 'assistant' && (\n                \u003CActions>\n                  \u003CActions.Copy content={msg.content} \u002F>\n                  \u003CActions.Regenerate onClick={() => reload()} \u002F>\n                \u003C\u002FActions>\n              )}\n            \u003C\u002FMessageContent>\n          \u003C\u002FMessage>\n        ))}\n      \u003C\u002FConversation>\n\n      \u003CPromptInput\n        value={input}\n        onChange={handleInputChange}\n        onSubmit={handleSubmit}\n      \u002F>\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n**When to use**: Every chat interface (copy and regenerate are essential UX)\n\n### Pattern 2: Chat with Tool Calling\n\n```tsx\n'use client';\n\nimport { useChat } from 'ai\u002Freact';\nimport { Tool } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Ftool';\nimport { z } from 'zod';\n\nexport default function ChatWithTools() {\n  const { messages } = useChat({\n    api: '\u002Fapi\u002Fchat',\n    async onToolCall({ toolCall }) {\n      if (toolCall.toolName === 'get_weather') {\n        \u002F\u002F Execute tool\n        return { temperature: 72, conditions: 'Sunny' };\n      }\n    }\n  });\n\n  return (\n    \u003CConversation>\n      {messages.map((msg) => (\n        \u003CMessage key={msg.id} role={msg.role}>\n          \u003CMessageContent>\n            {msg.content && \u003CResponse markdown={msg.content} \u002F>}\n\n            {\u002F* Render tool invocations *\u002F}\n            {msg.toolInvocations?.map((tool) => (\n              \u003CTool\n                key={tool.toolCallId}\n                name={tool.toolName}\n                args={tool.args}\n                result={tool.result}\n                status={tool.state}  \u002F\u002F \"pending\" | \"success\" | \"error\"\n              \u002F>\n            ))}\n          \u003C\u002FMessageContent>\n        \u003C\u002FMessage>\n      ))}\n    \u003C\u002FConversation>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n**When to use**: AI assistants with function calling (like ChatGPT with plugins)\n\n### Pattern 3: Chat with Reasoning Display\n\n```tsx\n'use client';\n\nimport { useChat } from 'ai\u002Freact';\nimport { Reasoning } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Freasoning';\n\nexport default function ChatWithReasoning() {\n  const { messages, isLoading } = useChat({\n    api: '\u002Fapi\u002Fchat',\n    streamProtocol: 'text'\n  });\n\n  return (\n    \u003CConversation>\n      {messages.map((msg, idx) => {\n        const reasoning = msg.annotations?.reasoning;\n        const isStreaming = isLoading && idx === messages.length - 1;\n\n        return (\n          \u003CMessage key={msg.id} role={msg.role}>\n            \u003CMessageContent>\n              {reasoning && (\n                \u003CReasoning\n                  content={reasoning}\n                  streaming={isStreaming}\n                  collapsed={!isStreaming}  \u002F\u002F Collapse after done\n

Issues?**\n\n1. Check `references\u002Fcommon-issues.md` for troubleshooting\n2. Verify all prerequisites (Next.js 15+, AI SDK v5+, shadcn\u002Fui)\n3. Check official docs: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.shadcn.io\u002Fai\n4. Ensure Tailwind v4 is configured correctly (use `tailwind-v4-shadcn` skill)\n\n---\n\n## Related Skills\n\nThis skill works best when combined with:\n- **tailwind-v4-shadcn** (prerequisite) - Sets up Tailwind v4 + shadcn\u002Fui foundation\n- **ai-sdk-ui** (companion) - AI SDK hooks (`useChat`, `useCompletion`, `useAssistant`)\n- **ai-sdk-core** (optional) - Backend AI SDK integration for API routes\n- **nextjs** (framework) - Next.js App Router setup\n- **clerk-auth** (optional) - Add user authentication to chat\n- **cloudflare-d1** (optional) - Store chat history in database\n\n**Typical Stack**:\n```\n1. nextjs skill → Next.js 15 setup\n2. tailwind-v4-shadcn skill → UI foundation\n3. ai-sdk-ui skill → AI hooks and state management\n4. ai-elements-chatbot skill (this) → UI components\n5. clerk-auth skill (optional) → User authentication\n```\n\n---\n\n**Last Updated**: 2025-11-07\n**Skill Version**: 1.0.0\n**Maintainer**: Jeremy Dawes | Jezweb | jeremy@jezweb.net\n","# AI Elements Chatbot Components\n\n**Status**: Production Ready\n**Last Updated**: 2025-11-07\n**Dependencies**: tailwind-v4-shadcn (prerequisite), ai-sdk-ui (companion), nextjs (framework)\n**Latest Versions**: ai-elements@1.6.0, ai@5.0+, next@15+, react@19+\n\n---\n\n## Quick Start (15 Minutes)\n\n### 1. Verify Prerequisites\n\nBefore installing AI Elements, ensure these are already set up:\n\n```bash\n# Check Next.js version (needs 15+)\nnpx next --version\n\n# Check AI SDK version (needs 5+)\nnpm list ai\n\n# Check shadcn\u002Fui is initialized\nls components\u002Fui  # Should exist with button.tsx etc\n```\n\n**Why this matters:**\n- AI Elements is built ON TOP of shadcn\u002Fui (won't work without it)\n- Requires Next.js App Router (Pages Router not supported)\n- AI SDK v5 has breaking changes from v4\n\n**Missing prerequisites?** Use the `tailwind-v4-shadcn` skill first, then install AI SDK:\n```bash\npnpm add ai@latest\n```\n\n### 2. Install AI Elements CLI\n\n```bash\n# Initialize AI Elements in your project\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest init\n\n# Add your first components\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add message conversation response prompt-input\n```\n\n**CRITICAL:**\n- Components are copied into `components\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002F` (NOT installed as npm package)\n- Full source code ownership (modify as needed)\n- Registry URL must be correct in `components.json`\n\n### 3. Create Basic Chat Interface\n\n```typescript\n\u002F\u002F app\u002Fchat\u002Fpage.tsx\n'use client';\n\nimport { useChat } from 'ai\u002Freact';\nimport { Conversation } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fconversation';\nimport { Message } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fmessage';\nimport { MessageContent } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fmessage-content';\nimport { Response } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fresponse';\nimport { PromptInput } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fprompt-input';\n\nexport default function ChatPage() {\n  const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit, isLoading } = useChat({\n    api: '\u002Fapi\u002Fchat'\n  });\n\n  return (\n    \u003Cdiv className=\"flex h-screen flex-col\">\n      \u003CConversation className=\"flex-1\">\n        {messages.map((msg) => (\n          \u003CMessage key={msg.id} role={msg.role}>\n            \u003CMessageContent>\n              \u003CResponse markdown={msg.content} \u002F>\n            \u003C\u002FMessageContent>\n          \u003C\u002FMessage>\n        ))}\n      \u003C\u002FConversation>\n\n      \u003CPromptInput\n        value={input}\n        onChange={handleInputChange}\n        onSubmit={handleSubmit}\n        disabled={isLoading}\n      \u002F>\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n  );\n}\n```\n\nDone! You now have a working chat interface with:\n- ✅ Streaming markdown rendering\n- ✅ Auto-scrolling conversation\n- ✅ Auto-resizing input\n- ✅ Role-based message styling\n\n---\n\n## The 5-Step Setup Process\n\n### Step 1: Install AI Elements CLI\n\n```bash\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest init\n```\n\nThis:\n- Creates `components\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002F` directory\n- Updates `components.json` with AI Elements registry\n- Adds necessary dependencies to package.json\n\n**Key Points:**\n- Run from project root (where package.json is)\n- Requires shadcn\u002Fui already initialized\n- Will fail if `components.json` missing (run `pnpm dlx shadcn@latest init` first)\n\n### Step 2: Add Core Chat Components\n\n```bash\n# Essential components for basic chat\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add message message-content conversation response\n\n# Optional: Input component\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add prompt-input actions suggestion\n```\n\n**Component Purpose:**\n- `message`: Container for single message (user\u002FAI)\n- `message-content`: Wrapper for message parts\n- `conversation`: Auto-scrolling chat container\n- `response`: Markdown renderer (streaming-optimized)\n- `prompt-input`: Auto-resizing textarea with toolbar\n- `actions`: Copy\u002Fregenerate\u002Fedit buttons\n- `suggestion`: Quick prompt pills\n\n### Step 3: Add Advanced Components (Optional)\n\n```bash\n# For tool calling\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add tool\n\n# For reasoning display (Claude\u002Fo1 style)\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add reasoning\n\n# For source citations (Perplexity style)\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add sources inline-citation\n\n# For code highlighting\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add code-block\n\n# For conversation branching\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add branch\n\n# For task lists\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add task\n\n# For AI-generated images\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add image\n\n# For web previews (Claude artifacts style)\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add web-preview\n\n# For loading states\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest add loader\n```\n\n**When to add each:**\n- `tool`: Building AI assistants with function calling\n- `reasoning`: Showing AI's thinking process (like Claude or o1)\n- `sources`: Adding citations and references (like Perplexity)\n- `code-block`: Chat includes code snippets\n- `branch`: Multi-turn conversations with variations\n- `task`: AI generates task lists with file references\n- `image`: AI generates images (DALL-E, Stable Diffusion)\n- `web-preview`: AI generates HTML\u002Fwebsites (Claude artifacts)\n- `loader`: Show loading states during streaming\n\n### Step 4: Create API Route\n\nCreate `\u002Fapp\u002Fapi\u002Fchat\u002Froute.ts`:\n\n```typescript\nimport { openai } from '@ai-sdk\u002Fopenai';\nimport { streamText } from 'ai';\n\nexport async function POST(req: Request) {\n  const { messages } = await req.json();\n\n  const result = streamText({\n    model: openai('gpt-4o'),\n    messages,\n  });\n\n  return result.toDataStreamResponse();\n}\n```\n\n**Key Points:**\n- Must use AI SDK v5 `streamText()` (not v4 `OpenAIStream()`)\n- Returns `toDataStreamResponse()` for streaming\n- Client auto-receives updates via `useChat()` hook\n\n### Step 5: Verify Installation\n\n```bash\n# Check components installed\nls components\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002F\n\n# Expected output:\n# message.tsx, message-content.tsx, conversation.tsx, response.tsx, prompt-input.tsx, ...\n\n# Start dev server\npnpm dev\n\n# Test chat interface at http:\u002F\u002Flocalhost:3000\u002Fchat\n```\n\n**Verification Checklist:**\n- [ ] All components in `components\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002F`\n- [ ] `components.json` has AI Elements registry\n- [ ] No TypeScript errors\n- [ ] Chat interface renders\n- [ ] Streaming works (type message → get response)\n- [ ] Auto-scroll works during streaming\n\n---\n\n## Critical Rules\n\n### Always Do\n\n✅ **Initialize shadcn\u002Fui BEFORE AI Elements** - AI Elements requires shadcn\u002Fui as foundation\n✅ **Use AI SDK v5** - v4 is incompatible (breaking changes)\n✅ **Use Next.js App Router** - Pages Router not supported\n✅ **Wrap with `'use client'`** - All AI Elements components are client-side\n✅ **Pass raw markdown to Response component** - Not pre-rendered HTML\n✅ **Use Conversation component as container** - Handles auto-scroll and virtualization\n✅ **Conditionally show voice input** - Only works in Chrome\u002FEdge (not Firefox\u002FSafari)\n✅ **Merge consecutive reasoning blocks** - Prevent duplication in long responses\n\n### Never Do\n\n❌ **Install AI Elements as npm package** - It's a CLI tool that copies components\n❌ **Use with AI SDK v4** - Will fail with type errors and data format issues\n❌ **Forget `'use client'` directive** - Components use React hooks (client-only)\n❌ **Mix with other component libraries** - Built for shadcn\u002Fui only (Tailwind classes)\n❌ **Manually write component code** - Use CLI to ensure correct patterns\n❌ **Skip prerequisites check** - Will fail silently with confusing errors\n❌ **Use in Pages Router** - Requires App Router features\n❌ **Assume voice input works everywhere** - Web Speech API is Chrome\u002FEdge only\n\n---\n\n## Known Issues Prevention\n\nThis skill prevents **8** documented issues:\n\n### Issue #1: PromptInputSpeechButton Not Working (Firefox\u002FSafari)\n**Error**: Voice input button doesn't respond or throws `SpeechRecognition is not defined`\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fvercel\u002Fai-elements\u002Fissues\u002F210\n**Why It Happens**: Web Speech API only supported in Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge)\n**Prevention**:\n```tsx\n\u002F\u002F Conditionally show voice button\nconst isSpeechSupported = typeof window !== 'undefined' &&\n  ('webkitSpeechRecognition' in window || 'SpeechRecognition' in window);\n\n\u003CPromptInput\n  enableSpeech={isSpeechSupported}\n  \u002F\u002F Fallback: Implement server-side STT (Whisper, Google Speech)\n\u002F>\n```\n\n### Issue #2: PromptInput Not Responsive on Mobile\n**Error**: Input overflows or doesn't resize properly on small screens\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fvercel\u002Fai-elements\u002Fissues\u002F153\n**Why It Happens**: Missing responsive min-height constraints\n**Prevention**:\n```tsx\n\u003CPromptInput\n  className=\"min-h-[100px] sm:min-h-[60px]\"  \u002F\u002F Add responsive classes\n  \u002F\u002F ... other props\n\u002F>\n```\n\n### Issue #3: Multiple Thinking Elements in Long Responses\n**Error**: Duplicate reasoning\u002Fthinking blocks appear instead of single merged block\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fvercel\u002Fai-elements\u002Fissues\u002F106\n**Why It Happens**: Streaming creates separate components for each chunk\n**Prevention**:\n```tsx\n\u002F\u002F Merge reasoning chunks client-side\nconst processedMessages = messages.map(msg => {\n  if (msg.annotations?.reasoning) {\n    \u002F\u002F Combine all reasoning into single string\n    const merged = Array.isArray(msg.annotations.reasoning)\n      ? msg.annotations.reasoning.join('\\n\\n')\n      : msg.annotations.reasoning;\n    return { ...msg, annotations: { ...msg.annotations, reasoning: merged } };\n  }\n  return msg;\n});\n```\n\n### Issue #4: Component Not Found After Installation\n**Error**: `Cannot find module '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fmessage'`\n**Source**: Common user error\n**Why It Happens**: AI Elements not initialized or wrong registry URL\n**Prevention**:\n```bash\n# Verify components.json has correct registry\ncat components.json | grep -A5 \"ai-elements\"\n\n# Re-initialize if missing\npnpm dlx ai-elements@latest init\n\n# Check components directory exists\nls components\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002F\n```\n\n### Issue #5: AI SDK v5 Breaking Changes\n**Error**: Type errors, undefined properties, or streaming not working\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fsdk.vercel.ai\u002Fdocs\u002Fai-sdk-core\u002Fmigration\n**Why It Happens**: v5 has breaking API changes from v4\n**Prevention**:\n```typescript\n\u002F\u002F ✅ v5 (correct)\nconst { messages } = useChat();  \u002F\u002F Direct messages array\nmsg.toolInvocations  \u002F\u002F Tool calls here\n\n\u002F\u002F ❌ v4 (incorrect)\nconst { data } = useChat();  \u002F\u002F Wrapped in data object\nmsg.tool_calls  \u002F\u002F Different property name\n```\n\n### Issue #6: Maximum Update Depth Exceeded\n**Error**: React error \"Maximum update depth exceeded\" during streaming\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fvercel\u002Fai-elements\u002Fissues\u002F97\n**Why It Happens**: Infinite re-render loop from unstable callbacks\n**Prevention**:\n```tsx\n\u002F\u002F Memoize callbacks to prevent re-renders\nimport { useCallback } from 'react';\n\nconst { messages } = useChat({\n  api: '\u002Fapi\u002Fchat',\n  onFinish: useCallback((message) => {\n    console.log('Finished', message);\n  }, [])  \u002F\u002F Stable dependency array\n});\n```\n\n### Issue #7: Copy Button Returns HTML Instead of Markdown\n**Error**: Copying message pastes HTML instead of plain markdown\n**Source**: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fvercel\u002Fai-elements\u002Fissues\u002F180\n**Why It Happens**: Actions.Copy uses innerHTML by default\n**Prevention**:\n```tsx\n\u002F\u002F Pass raw markdown content, not rendered HTML\n\u003CActions>\n  \u003CActions.Copy content={msg.content} format=\"markdown\" \u002F>\n\u003C\u002FActions>\n```\n\n### Issue #8: Tailwind v4 CSS Variable Issues\n**Error**: Components have no styling or broken colors\n**Source**: Common with Tailwind v4 migration\n**Why It Happens**: Missing CSS variables or wrong @theme configuration\n**Prevention**:\n```bash\n# Use tailwind-v4-shadcn skill to fix, or manually verify:\n\n# Check src\u002Findex.css has:\n@import \"tailwindcss\";\n\n:root {\n  --background: hsl(0 0% 100%);\n  --foreground: hsl(0 0% 3.9%);\n  \u002F* ... other variables *\u002F\n}\n\n@theme inline {\n  --color-background: var(--background);\n  --color-foreground: var(--foreground);\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n## Configuration Files Reference\n\n### components.json (AI Elements Registry)\n\n```json\n{\n  \"$schema\": \"https:\u002F\u002Fui.shadcn.com\u002Fschema.json\",\n  \"style\": \"new-york\",\n  \"rsc\": false,\n  \"tsx\": true,\n  \"tailwind\": {\n    \"config\": \"\",\n    \"css\": \"src\u002Findex.css\",\n    \"baseColor\": \"zinc\",\n    \"cssVariables\": true,\n    \"prefix\": \"\"\n  },\n  \"aliases\": {\n    \"components\": \"@\u002Fcomponents\",\n    \"utils\": \"@\u002Flib\u002Futils\",\n    \"ui\": \"@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\",\n    \"lib\": \"@\u002Flib\",\n    \"hooks\": \"@\u002Fhooks\"\n  },\n  \"registries\": {\n    \"shadcn\": \"https:\u002F\u002Fui.shadcn.com\u002Fregistry\",\n    \"ai-elements\": \"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.shadcn.io\u002Fai\u002Fregistry\"\n  }\n}\n```\n\n**Why these settings:**\n- `\"rsc\": false` - AI Elements are client components (not RSC compatible)\n- `\"tsx\": true` - TypeScript required for type safety\n- `\"tailwind.config\": \"\"` - Tailwind v4 doesn't use config file\n- `registries` - Both shadcn and AI Elements registries needed\n\n---\n\n## Common Patterns\n\n### Pattern 1: Basic Chat with Actions\n\n```tsx\n'use client';\n\nimport { useChat } from 'ai\u002Freact';\nimport { Conversation, Message, MessageContent, Response, Actions } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai';\nimport { PromptInput } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fprompt-input';\n\nexport default function ChatWithActions() {\n  const { messages, input, handleInputChange, handleSubmit, reload, stop } = useChat();\n\n  return (\n    \u003Cdiv className=\"flex h-screen flex-col\">\n      \u003CConversation className=\"flex-1\">\n        {messages.map((msg) => (\n          \u003CMessage key={msg.id} role={msg.role}>\n            \u003CMessageContent>\n              \u003CResponse markdown={msg.content} \u002F>\n              {msg.role === 'assistant' && (\n                \u003CActions>\n                  \u003CActions.Copy content={msg.content} \u002F>\n                  \u003CActions.Regenerate onClick={() => reload()} \u002F>\n                \u003C\u002FActions>\n              )}\n            \u003C\u002FMessageContent>\n          \u003C\u002FMessage>\n        ))}\n      \u003C\u002FConversation>\n\n      \u003CPromptInput\n        value={input}\n        onChange={handleInputChange}\n        onSubmit={handleSubmit}\n      \u002F>\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n**When to use**: Every chat interface (copy and regenerate are essential UX)\n\n### Pattern 2: Chat with Tool Calling\n\n```tsx\n'use client';\n\nimport { useChat } from 'ai\u002Freact';\nimport { Tool } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Ftool';\nimport { z } from 'zod';\n\nexport default function ChatWithTools() {\n  const { messages } = useChat({\n    api: '\u002Fapi\u002Fchat',\n    async onToolCall({ toolCall }) {\n      if (toolCall.toolName === 'get_weather') {\n        \u002F\u002F Execute tool\n        return { temperature: 72, conditions: 'Sunny' };\n      }\n    }\n  });\n\n  return (\n    \u003CConversation>\n      {messages.map((msg) => (\n        \u003CMessage key={msg.id} role={msg.role}>\n          \u003CMessageContent>\n            {msg.content && \u003CResponse markdown={msg.content} \u002F>}\n\n            {\u002F* Render tool invocations *\u002F}\n            {msg.toolInvocations?.map((tool) => (\n              \u003CTool\n                key={tool.toolCallId}\n                name={tool.toolName}\n                args={tool.args}\n                result={tool.result}\n                status={tool.state}  \u002F\u002F \"pending\" | \"success\" | \"error\"\n              \u002F>\n            ))}\n          \u003C\u002FMessageContent>\n        \u003C\u002FMessage>\n      ))}\n    \u003C\u002FConversation>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n**When to use**: AI assistants with function calling (like ChatGPT with plugins)\n\n### Pattern 3: Chat with Reasoning Display\n\n```tsx\n'use client';\n\nimport { useChat } from 'ai\u002Freact';\nimport { Reasoning } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Freasoning';\n\nexport default function ChatWithReasoning() {\n  const { messages, isLoading } = useChat({\n    api: '\u002Fapi\u002Fchat',\n    streamProtocol: 'text'\n  });\n\n  return (\n    \u003CConversation>\n      {messages.map((msg, idx) => {\n        const reasoning = msg.annotations?.reasoning;\n        const isStreaming = isLoading && idx === messages.length - 1;\n\n        return (\n          \u003CMessage key={msg.id} role={msg.role}>\n            \u003CMessageContent>\n              {reasoning && (\n                \u003CReasoning\n                  content={reasoning}\n                  streaming={isStreaming}\n                  collapsed={!isStreaming}  \u002F\u002F Collapse after done\n                \u002F>\n              )}\n              \u003CResponse markdown={msg.content} \u002F>\n            \u003C\u002FMessageContent>\n          \u003C\u002FMessage>\n        );\n      })}\n    \u003C\u002FConversation>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n**When to use**: Claude-style thinking, o1-style reasoning, chain-of-thought prompting\n\n### Pattern 4: Chat with Source Citations\n\n```tsx\n'use client';\n\nimport { useChat } from 'ai\u002Freact';\nimport { Sources, InlineCitation } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai';\n\nexport default function ChatWithSources() {\n  const { messages } = useChat({\n    api: '\u002Fapi\u002Fchat'\n  });\n\n  return (\n    \u003CConversation>\n      {messages.map((msg) => {\n        const sources = msg.annotations?.sources || [];\n\n        return (\n          \u003CMessage key={msg.id} role={msg.role}>\n            \u003CMessageContent>\n              \u003CResponse markdown={msg.content} \u002F>\n\n              {\u002F* Show sources at bottom *\u002F}\n              {sources.length > 0 && (\n                \u003CSources\n                  sources={sources}\n                  citations={msg.annotations?.citations || []}\n                \u002F>\n              )}\n            \u003C\u002FMessageContent>\n          \u003C\u002FMessage>\n        );\n      })}\n    \u003C\u002FConversation>\n  );\n}\n```\n\n**When to use**: RAG applications, Perplexity-style search, citation-backed responses\n\n### Pattern 5: Chat with Code Blocks\n\n```tsx\n'use client';\n\nimport { useChat } from 'ai\u002Freact';\nimport { CodeBlock } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fcode-block';\nimport { Response } from '@\u002Fcomponents\u002Fui\u002Fai\u002Fresponse';\n\nexport default function ChatWithCode() {\n  const { messages } = useChat();\n\n  return (\n    \u003CConversation>\n      {messages.map((msg) => (\n        \u003CMessage key={msg.id} role={msg.role}>\n          \u003CMessageContent>\n            {\u002F* Response component auto-renders code blocks *\u002F}\n            \u003CResponse\n              markdown={msg.content}\n              components={{\n                \u002F\u002F Optionally override code rendering\n                code: ({ language, code }) => (\n                  \u003CCodeBlock\n                    language={language}\n                    code={code}\n
