ai-elements
Create new AI chat interface components for the ai-elements library following established composable patterns, shadcn/ui integration, and Vercel AI SDK conventions. Use when creating new components in packages/elements/src or when the user asks to add a new component to ai-elements.
Why this skill is useful
Provides specific patterns and integration methods for creating AI chat components that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires next.js, node, shadcn/ui installed locally. Requires vercel account access. About 4k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-07. 405 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
AI Elements AI Elements is a component library and custom registry built on top of shadcn/ui to help you build AI-native applications faster. It provides pre-built components like conversations, messages and more. Installing AI Elements is straightforward and can be done in a couple of ways. You can use the dedicated CLI command for the fastest setup, or integrate via the standard shadcn/ui CLI if you've already adopted shadcn's workflow. Quick Start Here are some basic examples of what you can achieve using components from AI Elements. Prerequisites Before installing AI Elements, make sure your environment meets the following requirements: Node.js, version 18 or later A Next.js project with the AI SDK installed. shadcn/ui installed in your project. If you don't have it installed, running any install command will automatically install it for you. We also highly recommend using the AI Gateway and adding AIGATEWAYAPIKEY to your env.local so you don't have to use an API key from every provider. AI Gateway also gives $5 in usage per month so you can experiment with models. You can obtain an API key here. Installing Components You can install AI Elements components using either the AI Elements CLI or the shadcn/ui CLI. Both achieve the same result: adding the selected component’s code and any needed dependencies to your project. The CLI will download the component’s code and integrate it into your project’s directory (usually under your components folder). By default, AI Elements components are added to the @/components/ai-elements/ directory (or whatever folder you’ve configured in your shadcn components settings). After running the command, you should see a confirmation in your terminal that the files were added. You can then proceed to use the component in your code. Usage Once an AI Elements component is installed, you can import it and use it in your application like any other React component. …
