At its center is **OpenUI Lang**: a compact, line-oriented language designed for LLMs to generate user interfaces, up to 67% more token-efficient than JSON-based alternatives. +OpenUI is a full-stack Generative UI framework centered on **OpenUI Lang**, a compact, streaming-first language for model-generated UI. Do not treat OpenUI as React-only: the core language, parser, prompt generation, runtime evaluation, and types live in `@openuidev/lang-core`; React, Vue, Svelte, and no-build browser integrations sit on top of that core. -Instead of treating LLM output as only text/markdown, OpenUI lets you define a component library, auto-generate a system prompt from it, and render structured UI progressively as the model streams. +Work from the user's app or project first. Inspect installed packages, generated templates, and lockfiles before giving API advice. When installed source is missing or the task targets `latest`, use only first-party OpenUI sources: the GitHub repo at `https://github.com/thesysdev/openui` and docs at `https://www.openui.com`. -## Core Architecture +## First Checks Before Answering -OpenUI has four building blocks that form a pipeline: +1. Inspect the user's project `package.json` and lockfile when available. +2. Identify which `@openuidev/*` packages and versions are installed. +3. Prefer installed package exports and generated templates over assumptions. +4. Use installed `node_modules/@openuidev/*`, `.d.ts` files, and generated files as the source of truth when available. +5. If no app or installed package exists, use first-party docs and GitHub source. -1. **Library** — Components defined with Zod schemas + React renderers via `defineComponent`. This is the contract between app and AI: it constrains what the LLM can generate. -2. **Prompt Generator** — `library.prompt()` converts the library into a system prompt with syntax rules, component signatures, and streaming guidelines. -3. **Parser** — Parses OpenUI Lang line-by-line (streaming-compatible) into a typed element tree. Validates against the library's JSON Schema. -4. **Renderer** — The `` React component maps parsed elements to your React components, rendering progressively as the stream arrives. +Do not use this skill for general React UI questions, generic design system advice, unrelated AI agent harnesses, or general frontend debugging unless OpenUI or `@openuidev` packages are involved. +## Current Package Map + +| Package | Use for | +| --- | --- | +| `@openuidev/lang-core` | Framework-agnostic parser, streaming parser, prompt generation, runtime evaluation, `Query`/`Mutation`, stores, bindings, JSON schema/types | +| `@openuidev/react-lang` | React `defineComponent`, `createLibrary`, ``, hooks, parser/prompt re-exports | +| `@openuidev/vue-lang` | Vue 3 `defineComponent`, `createLibrary`, ``, composables, parser re-exports | +| `@openuidev/svelte-lang` | Svelte 5 `defineComponent`, `createLibrary`, ``, context helpers, parser re-exports | +| `@openuidev/react-ui` | OpenUI's default React component libraries (`openuiLibrary`, `openuiChatLibrary`), `AgentInterface`, chat layouts, standalone UI primitives, styles, theming, and re-exports of `@openuidev/react-headless` APIs | +| `@openuidev/react-headless` | Bring-your-own React chat state, hooks, storage/LLM adapter primitives, streaming adapters, message converters, and artifact primitives without OpenUI's visual components | +| `@openuidev/react-email` | React Email component library and prompt options for generated email | +| `@openuidev/browser-bundle` | CDN/iframe/no-build React renderer bundle exposed as `window.__OpenUI` | +| `@openuidev/cli` | `openui create` scaffolding and `openui generate` prompt/schema generation from a library export | +| `@openuidev/thesys` | Version-sensitive client-side OpenUI Cloud helpers such as `useOpenuiCloudStorage()`, Cloud component sets, and Cloud artifact components/renderers/categories; verify current exports | +| `@openuidev/thesys-server` | Version-sensitive server-side OpenUI Cloud helpers such as `artifactTool` and `createResponsesInstructions` for Cloud-backed `/api/chat` routes | + +Choose the package for the target runtime.

It prompts for an OpenUI Cloud or self-hosted Agent Interface app when no template is passed. Use `--template openui-cloud` for the managed Cloud starter and `--template openui-self-hosted` for the app-owned model/storage starter. For unattended agent/CI use, pass `--template`, `--no-interactive`, and usually `--no-skill`. + +Use `--no-install` when the agent needs to control package-manager behavior explicitly: + +```bash +npx @openuidev/cli@latest create --name genui-chat-app --template openui-self-hosted --no-skill --no-interactive --no-install ``` -## OpenUI Lang Overview +If scaffold install/build fails with `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` for native packages such as `sharp` or `unrs-resolver`, do not treat the scaffold as broken. Run `pnpm approve-builds` or `pnpm approve-builds --all`, then rerun install/build in an environment where package build scripts are allowed. Use first-party GitHub examples for Vue, Svelte, React Native, LangGraph, Mastra, Supabase, Vercel AI SDK, and other integrations. -OpenUI Lang is a compact, declarative, line-oriented DSL. The LLM generates this instead of JSON or markdown. +For self-hosted template build checks, set `OPENAI_API_KEY` even if no real model call is made. The generated Next route creates the OpenAI client at module scope, so `OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-test pnpm run build` is a valid smoke test when no real request will be sent. -### Syntax Rules (Critical) +### Choose OpenUI Cloud or self-hosted -1. **One statement per line:** `identifier = Expression` -2. **Root entry point:** The first statement MUST assign to the identifier `root`. -3. **Top-down generation:** Write Layout → Components → Data for best streaming performance. -4. **Positional arguments:** Arguments map to component props by position, determined by key order in the Zod schema. -5. **Forward references (hoisting):** An identifier can be referenced before it's defined — the renderer shows a skeleton/placeholder until the definition arrives. +OpenUI Cloud is the managed backend for Agent Interface. It uses the open-source OpenUI rendering engine and adds production layers: persisted conversations, production-grade generative UI, prebuilt report/presentation artifacts, theming/white-labeling, output correction, model/provider resilience, versioning, observability, and audit trails. -Example: +Use Cloud when the user wants managed production infrastructure for an Agent Interface app. Use self-hosted OpenUI when the user wants to own the model route, storage, tools, component library, and runtime behavior. + +Version-sensitive: verify exact Cloud template env vars, `@openuidev/thesys*` exports, and route helpers against the installed package/template. The CLI quickstart prompts for **OpenUI Cloud or self-hosted**. For Cloud: + +- Store `THESYS_API_KEY` server-side only, typically in `.env.local`. +- The Cloud CLI template also uses `OPENUI_MODEL` in `provider/model` form and `DEMO_USER_ID` for the demo user identity. +- Keep Cloud calls behind server routes such as `/api/chat` and `/api/frontend-token`; never expose the server key to the browser. +- In the `openui-cloud` template, `/api/chat` uses `@openuidev/thesys-server` helpers such as `artifactTool` and `createResponsesInstructions`. +- `AgentInterface` connects to Cloud with `llm` and `storage` props. `llm` points to an app route that proxies Cloud's Responses endpoint, usually with `openAIResponsesAdapter()` and `openAIConversationMessageFormat`. `storage` uses `useOpenuiCloudStorage()` from `@openuidev/thesys` with a short-lived frontend token. +- Cloud-provided component sets, artifact renderers, and categories come from `@openuidev/thesys`. +- Generate keys in the Thesys console: `https://console.thesys.dev/keys`. + +### Wire Agent Interface + +Use `AgentInterface` from `@openuidev/react-ui` for the full chat surface. It owns the layout, sidebar, thread list, composer, routing, and workspace rail. Configure the backend through two independent channels: +- `llm` is required. Use `fetchLLM({ url, streamAdapter, messageFormat })` for normal HTTP POST routes. +- `storage` is optional. Omit it for in-memory conversations; use `restStorage({ baseUrl })` or Cloud storage for persisted threads and artifacts. +- Optional props include `artifactRenderers`, `artifactCategories`, `componentLibrary`, `components`, theme/branding, starters, routing, and children/slots. + +`AgentInterface` is a full app shell, not automatically a compact embedded widget. It measures its own container, switches to mobile layout below 768px, and still renders shell chrome unless slots override it. For a narrow assistant rail around 390px, prefer `Renderer` plus `openuiChatLibrary` when the host owns the chat layout; if using `AgentInterface`, replace slots such as `Sidebar`, `ThreadHeader`, `Composer`, or `Workspace` and scope CSS overrides to a host wrapper around `.openui-agent-*`. + +```tsx +import { + AgentInterface, + fetchLLM, + restStorage, + openAIReadableStreamAdapter, + openAIMessageFormat, +} from "@openuidev/react-ui"; + +const llm = fetchLLM({ + url: "/api/chat", + streamAdapter: openAIReadableStreamAdapter(), + messageFormat: openAIMessageFormat, +}); + +const storage = restStorage({ baseUrl: "/api/chat/storage" }); + +export function Chat() { + return ; +} ``` -root = Stack([header, stats]) -header = TextContent("Q4 Dashboard", "large-heavy") -stats = Grid([s1, s2]) -s1 = StatCard("Revenue", "$1.2M", "up") -s2 = StatCard("Users", "450k", "flat") + +`fetchLLM` talks only to the app's own route and posts `{ threadId, messages }`; the provider API key stays server-side in that route. The route must return a streaming `Response` that the selected adapter can parse. Call adapter factories, for example `agUIAdapter()`, `openAIAdapter()`, `openAIReadableStreamAdapter()`, `openAIResponsesAdapter()`, or `langGraphAdapter()`, and pair them with the matching message format when one is needed. + +There are two valid `llm` wiring patterns: + +- Use `fetchLLM({ url, streamAdapter, messageFormat })` for ordinary POST-to-route integrations. The option is named `streamAdapter`. +- Implement `ChatLLM` directly when the scaffold or app needs custom transport. Direct `ChatLLM` objects use `streamProtocol`, not `streamAdapter`. + +```ts +import { type ChatLLM, openAIAdapter } from "@openuidev/react-ui"; + +const llm: ChatLLM = { + streamProtocol: openAIAdapter(), + send: ({ threadId, messages, signal }) => + fetch("/api/chat", { + method: "POST", + headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, + body: JSON.stringify({ threadId, messages }), + signal, + }), +}; ``` -## Documentation +### Integrate into existing apps -> **Security:** All URLs below are first-party documentation hosted by Thesys at `openui.com`.

Passing a `$variable` into a reactive/binding prop creates two-way binding.
