## Capabilities

- Shows how to add chat components from the ui.inference.sh registry.
- Provides React examples for chat containers, messages, inputs, and typing indicators.
- Demonstrates message roles for user, assistant, and system messages.
- Includes a full chat component example with local message state.
- Links to related documentation for agent chat, UX patterns, and streaming responses.

## Use Cases

- Prototype an AI Assistant: Create a chat screen with message bubbles, input handling, and loading feedback for early product testing.
- Standardize Chat Components: Use shared React examples to keep message layouts and interaction states consistent across an application.
- Plan Streaming Chat UX: Combine typing indicators and linked guidance to design responsive agent conversations.

## Prompt Templates

### Create a Basic Chat View

```
Use the chat-ui skill to build a simple React chat view with messages, an input, and a typing indicator.
```

### Adapt Components to My Project

```
Review my React project structure and show where the chat container, message, and input components should be placed.
```

### Design Loading and Empty States

```
Extend the chat UI pattern with empty, loading, disabled, and error states that match my current design system.
```

### Build a Streaming Assistant Interface

```
Use the chat-ui examples to design a streaming assistant interface with message roles, pending responses, and accessible controls.
```

## Limitations

- Does not include backend API implementation for message delivery.
- Requires a React or Next.js project with compatible styling setup.
- Uses external install commands that users should review before running.
- Does not provide authentication, persistence, moderation, or rate limiting.

## Best Practices

- Review remote registry content before running install commands.
- Keep chat state, loading state, and input disabled state synchronized.
- Use clear role handling for user, assistant, and system messages.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not run remote install commands without reviewing the fetched files.
- Do not mix backend API logic into presentational chat components.
- Do not hide loading or disabled states during message submission.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-09T12:13:20.275\+00:00
- Summary: Most static findings are false positives from Markdown fences, inline code formatting, React examples, and documentation links. The remaining confirmed risks are user-invoked install commands that fetch external component or skill content, so users should review remote sources before running them.
