Registers LLM tools and renders custom tool-call UI in assistant-ui (@assistant-ui/react). Covers the current authoring model: a "use generative" file exporting defineToolkit({...}) that co-locates schema, execute, and render and is split across the client/server boundary by the build plugin (withAui from @assistant-ui/next, aui() from @assistant-ui/vite, withAui from @assistant-ui/metro), mounted with Tools({ toolkit }) through useAui and exposed to the model with AISDKToolkit. Covers the tool kinds and their execute markers: backend (plain execute), frontend ("use client" inside execute), human via humanTool()/hitl, provider via providerTool(), external via externalTool(), stubs via stubTool() plus useAuiToolOverrides, and MCP via defineMcpToolkit. Also covers the component-scoped path (makeAssistantTool / useAssistantTool / makeAssistantToolUI / useAssistantToolUI), ToolCallMessagePartProps (status.type running/complete/incomplete/requires-action, args, argsText, result, artifact, a

Builds and customizes assistant-ui chat UI from composable, unstyled @assistant-ui/react primitives that follow Radix-style part composition. Use when assembling or styling a custom Thread, Composer, message rendering, action bar, or branch picker from building blocks: ThreadPrimitive (.Root, .Viewport, .ViewportFooter, .Messages, .Empty, .ScrollToBottom, .Suggestions), ComposerPrimitive (.Input, .Send, .Cancel, .Attachments, .AddAttachment, .AttachmentDropzone, .Quote, .Dictate, .Queue), MessagePrimitive (.Parts/.Content, .GroupedParts, .Attachments, .Quote, .GenerativeUI, .Error), ActionBarPrimitive (.Copy, .Edit, .Reload, .Speak, .StopSpeaking, feedback, .ExportMarkdown), BranchPickerPrimitive, AttachmentPrimitive, ThreadListPrimitive, ThreadListItemPrimitive, plus ChainOfThoughtPrimitive, SelectionToolbarPrimitive, SuggestionPrimitive, QueueItemPrimitive, ErrorPrimitive, and AssistantModalPrimitive. Covers MessagePrimitive.Parts children render functions for text, image, reasoning,

Create polished design artifacts as self-contained HTML: UI mockups, interactive prototypes, wireframes, landing pages, dashboards, app screens, mobile apps, slide decks (a.k.a. PPT / PowerPoint presentations), documents and résumés, animations, 3D objects, research reports, HTML email, diagrams, fliers, and visual explorations. Use whenever the user asks to design, mock up, prototype, wireframe, visualize, explore, or make a PPT/deck for an interface, product screen, user flow, content layout, visual artifact, or pitch/deck concept, even if they do not say "design". Also use to export a deck built with this skill to PowerPoint (PPT/PPTX) — but only decks authored here (deck-stage / this skill's slide-structured HTML), NOT arbitrary HTML, so confirm the target is such a deck first. Also use for setting up, importing, or authoring reusable design systems, UI kits, brand tokens, or component libraries. Harness-agnostic for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex Agent, and similar file-capable agents

Guide to the assistant-ui runtime system, single-thread state, and the imperative aui client API in @assistant-ui/react. Use when creating a runtime (useLocalRuntime with a ChatModelAdapter, useExternalStoreRuntime for Redux/Zustand, useRemoteThreadListRuntime, useAssistantTransportRuntime), wiring AssistantRuntimeProvider, or reading/mutating thread, message, composer, and attachment state. Covers the unified hooks useAui, useAuiState, useAuiEvent and the v0.15 property accessors (aui.thread, aui.threads, aui.message, aui.composer, aui.part; availability via aui.thread.source != null), the s.optional.<scope> state view, scope methods (append, cancelRun, startRun, resumeRun, message({index}), part({index}), composer().send), capabilities, adapters (attachment, speech, dictation, suggestion, feedback, history), realtime voice, and types (ThreadMessage, MessageState, MessagePart, MessageStatus, ChatModelRunResult). The v0.12-era legacy context hooks (useAssistantRuntime, useThreadRuntime

Installs and configures assistant-ui in a project via the CLI, and picks the right runtime for a backend. Use for first-time install, scaffold, or config: `npx assistant-ui@latest create my-app` (templates default, minimal, cloud, cloud-clerk, langchain, mcp, eve), `npx assistant-ui@latest init [--yes] [--overwrite]` in an existing Next.js app, or `npx assistant-ui@latest add` registry components (thread, markdown-text, thread-list, tool-fallback). Also covers the other CLI verbs: doctor, info, update, upgrade, mcp, and agent. Use to choose a runtime hook for a backend: useChatRuntime (AI SDK v7), useLangGraphRuntime, useAgUiRuntime, useA2ARuntime, useLocalRuntime (custom streaming API), or useExternalStoreRuntime (Redux/Zustand). Covers Vite/TanStack Start setup, Expo (--native) and React Ink (--ink) scaffolds, shadcn and Base UI registry styles, the playground --preset flag, and avoiding the deprecated @assistant-ui/styles and @assistant-ui/react-ui packages. For upgrading an existin

Guide for building React applications with Apollo Client 4.x. Use this skill when: (1) setting up Apollo Client in a React project, (2) writing GraphQL queries or mutations with hooks, (3) configuring caching or cache policies, (4) managing local state with reactive variables, (5) troubleshooting Apollo Client errors or performance issues.
