-
-## 3. Add an action {#add-an-action}
-
-An action is a typed operation that both your agent and your UI can call. It's
-how the agent does things in your app. Actions live in the `actions/` directory
-and can be triggered from chat, from React components, from the CLI, or on a
-schedule. You define them once and call them from anywhere.
-
-### Try the starter action
-
-The Chat template includes a `hello` action at `actions/hello.ts`:
-
-```ts filename="actions/hello.ts"
-import { defineAction } from "@agent-native/core/action";
-import { z } from "zod";
-
-export default defineAction({
-  description: "Return a friendly greeting.",
-  schema: z.object({
-    name: z.string().default("world").describe("Name to greet"),
-  }),
-  http: { method: "GET" },
-  run: async ({ name }) => {
-    return { message: `Hello, ${name}!` };
-  },
-});
-```
-
-Run it from the terminal (inside your `my-app/` directory):
-
-```bash
-pnpm action hello --name Alice
-```
-
-Or open your app at `http://localhost:8080` and ask the agent in the chat there:
-
-> Use the hello action with the name Alice.
-
-### Add your own action
-
-Replace the starter action with the first real operation in your domain. This example
-counts words, sentences, and paragraphs in any text you pass it. It computes
-everything locally, so there's nothing to configure and no external service to connect.
-
-Create a new file called `analyze-text.ts` in your `actions/` directory:
-
-```ts filename="actions/analyze-text.ts"
-import { defineAction } from "@agent-native/core/action";
-import { z } from "zod";
-
-const textStatsSchema = z.object({
-  title: z.string(),
-  points: z.array(z.object({ label: z.string(), value: z.number() })),
-});
-
-export default defineAction({
-  description: "Count words, sentences, and paragraphs in a block of text.",
-  schema: z.object({
-    text: z
-      .string()
-      .default(
-        "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.",
-      ),
-  }),
-  outputSchema: textStatsSchema,
-  chatUI: {
-    renderer: "text.stats-chart",
-    title: "Text stats",
-  },
-  readOnly: true,
-  run: async ({ text }) => ({
-    title: "Text statistics",
-    points: [
-      { label: "Characters", value: text.length },
-      { label: "Words", value: text.split(/\s+/).filter(Boolean).length },
-      {
-        label: "Sentences",
-        value: text.split(/[.!?]+/).filter(Boolean).length,
-      },
-      {
-        label: "Paragraphs",
-        value: text.split(/\n\n+/).filter(Boolean).length,
-      },
-    ],
-  }),
-});
-```
-
-Try it from the terminal:
-
-```bash
-pnpm action analyze-text --text "Hello world. How are you today?"
-```
-
-Or open your app at `http://localhost:8080` and ask the agent in the chat there:
-
-> Run the analyze-text action on "Hello world. How are you today?"
-
-#### Define once, call from anywhere
-
-This action is now reachable from chat, React hooks, CLI, HTTP, MCP, A2A,
-scheduled jobs, and webhooks.
-
-TIP: Any time you want the agent to call a specific action without ambiguity, phrasing it as "Run the `<action-name>` action" is most reliable. Natural-language prompts work well once the agent has enough context about your app's domain. For a brand-new app with no data or context yet, explicit is safer.
-
-## 4. Render the result inline {#render-inline}
-
-When the agent runs `analyze-text`, it returns structured data: a title and an
-array of counts. By default the agent will describe that data in prose: "The
-text has 9 words, 2 sentences..." and so on. That works, but you can
-also render the result as a real UI component (a bar chart, a table, a card)
-directly inside the chat transcript, right where the agent responded.
-
-This is what `chatUI.renderer` in the action does. It's a label that says "when
-this action's result appears in chat, hand it to this React component instead of
-summarizing it in text." The component receives the validated action output as
-props and renders whatever you want.
-
-In the next step, you'll create `app/chat-renderers.tsx`, but first, add one import line
-to `app/root.tsx` so it runs on startup:
-
-```ts filename="app/root.tsx"
-import "./chat-renderers";
-```
-
-Add it alongside your other imports at the top of the file. That's the only
-change to `root.tsx`. The import just ensures the file runs and registers the
-renderer. Now create the renderer file:
-
-```tsx filename="app/chat-renderers.tsx"
-import {
-  registerActionChatRenderer,
-  type ToolRendererProps,
-} from "@agent-native/core/client/chat";
-
-type TextStatsResult = {
-  title: string;
-  points: Array<{ label: string; value: number }>;
-};
-
-const MAX_BAR_PX = 80;
-
-function TextStatsChart({ context }: ToolRendererProps) {
-  const result = context.resultJson as TextStatsResult;
-  const max = Math.max(...result.points.map((point) => point.value), 1);
-  return (
-    <section className="rounded-lg border bg-card p-4">
-      <h3 className="text-sm font-medium">{result.title}</h3>
-      <div className="mt-4 flex items-end gap-2">
-        {result.points.map((point) => (
-          <div
-            key={point.label}
-            className="flex flex-1 flex-col items-center gap-2"
-          >
-            <div
-              className="w-full rounded-t bg-blue-500"
-              style={{
-                height: `${Math.max(Math.round((point.value / max) * MAX_BAR_PX), 2)}px`,
-              }}
-            />
-            <span className="text-xs text-muted-foreground">{point.label}</span>
-          </div>
-        ))}
-      </div>
-    </section>
-  );
-}
-
-registerActionChatRenderer({
-  id: "text.stats-chart",
-  renderer: "text.stats-chart",
-  Component: TextStatsChart,
-});
-```
-
-Once the renderer is registered, the agent's response looks like this. Instead
-of a paragraph of text, your React component renders directly inside the chat
-transcript:

-Use this step when the result belongs where the agent is speaking:
-
-- setup summaries
-- short reports
-- approvals
-- tables or charts small enough to inspect inline
-- links into durable app views
-
-For reusable generic outputs, the framework also ships built-in
-`data-chart` and `data-table` renderers, plus `data-insights` for combined
-summary/chart/table cards. See [Native Chat UI](/docs/native-chat-ui). For
-temporary controls the agent creates at runtime, see
-[Generative UI](/docs/generative-ui).
-
-## 5. Persist data in SQL {#persist-data}
-
-Right now, every time the agent runs `analyze-text` the result appears in chat
-and then disappears. There's nothing to look back at, nothing the agent can
-reference later, and no way to build a page around the data. Persisting to SQL
-fixes that: the agent writes results to a table, and both the agent and your UI
-can read them back at any time.
-
-Agent-Native apps have a SQL database available by default: SQLite locally,
-and your configured provider (Postgres, Turso/libSQL, Cloudflare D1) in
-production.
-
-### Wire up the database plugin
-
-The Chat template doesn't include a database plugin by default. Create
-`server/plugins/db.ts` to initialize it. This is what runs migrations and
-makes the database available to your actions:
-
-```ts filename="server/plugins/db.ts"
-import { runMigrations } from "@agent-native/core/db";
-
-export default runMigrations(
-  [
-    {
-      version: 1,
-      sql: `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS text_analyses (
-        id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
-        input TEXT NOT NULL,
-        char_count INTEGER NOT NULL,
-        word_count INTEGER NOT NULL,
-        sentence_count INTEGER NOT NULL,
-        created_at TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
-      )`,
-    },
-  ],
-  { table: "text_analyses_migrations" },
-);
-```
-
-Each entry in the array is an additive migration. When you add new columns or
-tables later, append a new version object. Never edit existing ones.
-
-### Define the schema
-
-Create `server/db/schema.ts`. The `server/db/` directory may not exist yet,
-so create it if needed. This file describes your tables using typed helpers so
-your actions get full TypeScript autocomplete:
-
-```ts filename="server/db/schema.ts"
-import { integer, now, table, text } from "@agent-native/core/db/schema";
-
-export const textAnalyses = table("text_analyses", {
-  id: text("id").primaryKey(),
-  input: text("input").notNull(),
-  charCount: integer("char_count").notNull(),
-  wordCount: integer("word_count").notNull(),
-  sentenceCount: integer("sentence_count").notNull(),
-  createdAt: text("created_at").notNull().default(now()),
-});
-```
-
-Use the framework schema helpers (`table`, `text`, `integer`, `now`) rather than
-`sqliteTable`, `pgTable`, or dialect-specific imports. They pick the configured
-SQL backend automatically, so the same schema runs locally on SQLite and in
-production on any supported provider.
-
-After adding both files, restart the dev server so the migration runs:
-
-```bash
-pnpm dev
-```
-
-Look for these two lines in the terminal output. They confirm the table was created:
-
-```
-[db] Applying 1 migration(s) on SQLite/libsql…
-[db] Applied migration v1 (1 statement)
-```
-
-The `NitroViteError` lines, `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` warning, and
-`SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY` warning that also appear are normal for local dev and
-can be ignored.
-
-### Add actions for the table
-
-Now create the action files that read and write the table. These go in your
-`actions/` directory, the same place as `hello.ts` and `analyze-text.ts`. You
-create them yourself, one file per operation. The agent and your UI will call
-them the same way they call any other action.
-
-**`actions/save-text-analysis.ts`** writes a result row to the database.
-Call this after running `analyze-text` to make the result durable:
-
-```ts filename="actions/save-text-analysis.ts"
-import { defineAction } from "@agent-native/core/action";
-import { getDbExec } from "@agent-native/core/db";
-import { z } from "zod";
-
-export default defineAction({
-  description: "Save a text analysis result to the database.",
-  schema: z.object({
-    input: z.string(),
-    charCount: z.number(),
-    wordCount: z.number(),
-    sentenceCount: z.number(),
-  }),
-  run: async ({ input, charCount, wordCount, sentenceCount }) => {
-    const id = crypto.randomUUID();
-    await getDbExec().execute({
-      sql: `INSERT INTO text_analyses (id, input, char_count, word_count, sentence_count)
-            VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)`,
-      args: [id, input, charCount, wordCount, sentenceCount],
-    });
-    return { id };
-  },
-});
-```
-
-**`actions/list-text-analyses.ts`** reads all saved results. The agent can
-call this to summarize past analyses, and your UI can use it to populate a page:
-
-```ts filename="actions/list-text-analyses.ts"
-import { defineAction } from "@agent-native/core/action";
-import { getDbExec } from "@agent-native/core/db";
-import { z } from "zod";
-
-export default defineAction({
-  description: "List all saved text analyses, newest first.",
-  schema: z.object({}),
-  run: async () => {
-    const result = await getDbExec().execute(
-      `SELECT id, input, char_count, word_count, sentence_count, created_at
-       FROM text_analyses
-       ORDER BY created_at DESC`,
-    );
-    return result.rows;
-  },
-});
-```
-
-**`actions/delete-text-analysis.ts`** removes a row by id:
-
-```ts filename="actions/delete-text-analysis.ts"
-import { defineAction } from "@agent-native/core/action";
-import { getDbExec } from "@agent-native/core/db";
-import { z } from "zod";
-
-export default defineAction({
-  description: "Delete a saved text analysis by id.",
-  schema: z.object({ id: z.string() }),
-  run: async ({ id }) => {
-    await getDbExec().execute({
-      sql: `DELETE FROM text_analyses WHERE id = ?`,
-      args: [id],
-    });
-    return { deleted: id };
-  },
-});
-```
-
-Once these files are saved the dev server picks them up automatically. No
-restart needed. Try listing analyses from the terminal:
-
-```bash
-pnpm action list-text-analyses
-```
-
-You should see an empty array. The table exists and the action works; there's
-just nothing saved yet:
-
-```
-[]
-```

-  ]

-```
+## What's next {#next}
 
-Then pass those values to `save-text-analysis`:
+Your app is running and the agent can respond. Continue the series to build it out:
 
-```bash
-pnpm action save-text-analysis \
-  --input "Hello world" \
-  --charCount 11 \
-  --wordCount 2 \
-  --sentenceCount 1
-```
+<Cards>
 
-Now run `list-text-analyses` again and you'll see the saved row:
+### [Add an Action](/docs/getting-started-actions)
 
-```bash
-pnpm action list-text-analyses
-```
+Define your first typed action and render its result as a chart directly inside
+the chat transcript.
 
-Or ask the agent in the chat at `http://localhost:8080` to do both steps at once:
-
-> Run analyze-text on "Hello world", then save the result.
-
-## 6. Add a page the agent can open {#add-a-page}
-
-Chat is great for conversational interaction, but some data is better inspected
-in a dedicated UI: a table you can scan, sort, or delete rows from. This step
-adds a React route that displays everything saved in `text_analyses`, using the
-same `list-text-analyses` and `delete-text-analysis` actions you already wrote.
-There's no second data layer. The page is just a view over the same SQL state
-the agent reads and writes.
-
-Create the route file at `app/routes/text-analyses.tsx`. Route files in
-`app/routes/` are automatically picked up by the framework. The filename
-becomes the URL path, so this page will be available at
-`http://localhost:8080/text-analyses`.
-
-```tsx filename="app/routes/text-analyses.tsx"
-import {
-  useActionMutation,
-  useActionQuery,
-} from "@agent-native/core/client/hooks";
-
-export default function TextAnalysesRoute() {

-  const deleteAnalysis = useActionMutation("delete-text-analysis");

-`useActionMutation` calls `delete-text-analysis` when the user clicks Delete,
-then invalidates the query so the list refreshes.
-
-Open `http://localhost:8080/text-analyses` in your browser. If you saved an
-analysis in the previous step you'll see it listed. Then ask the agent in chat:
-
-> Open the text analyses page.
-
-If you get a 404, try restarting your dev server.
-
-The agent calls the `navigate` action (already included in the Chat
-template) to send the browser to `/text-analyses`. This is what it looks like
-with a few saved rows:
-
-<WireframeBlock id="doc-block-response-insights-page-wireframe">
-  <Screen
-    surface="desktop"
-    html={
-      "<main style='min-height:400px;box-sizing:border-box;padding:28px;background:var(--wf-bg)'><div style='max-width:720px;margin:0 auto;display:flex;flex-direction:column;gap:20px'><header><h2 style='margin:0 0 4px;font-size:24px;font-weight:600'>Text analyses</h2><p class='wf-muted' style='margin:0;font-size:14px'>Results saved by the agent or triggered manually.</p></header><section style='display:flex;flex-direction:column;gap:10px'><article class='wf-card' data-rough style='display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;padding:14px 16px'><div><p style='margin:0 0 4px;font-size:14px;font-weight:500'>Hello world</p><p class='wf-muted' style='margin:0;font-size:12px'>2 words · 11 characters · 1 sentence</p></div><span class='wf-muted' style='font-size:12px'>Delete</span></article><article class='wf-card' data-rough style='display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;padding:14px 16px'><div><p style='margin:0 0 4px;font-size:14px;font-weight:500'>The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p><p class='wf-muted' style='margin:0;font-size:12px'>9 words · 44 characters · 1 sentence</p></div><span class='wf-muted' style='font-size:12px'>Delete</span></article><article class='wf-card' data-rough style='display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;padding:14px 16px'><div><p style='margin:0 0 4px;font-size:14px;font-weight:500'>Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs.</p><p class='wf-muted' style='margin:0;font-size:12px'>8 words · 40 characters · 1 sentence</p></div><span class='wf-muted' style='font-size:12px'>Delete</span></article></section></div></main>"

-## 7. Extend the navigation {#extend-navigation}
-
-The sidebar's links are a plain array in `app/components/layout/Sidebar.tsx`,
-not a separate config file. Open it and add an entry for the Text analyses
-page next to the existing Chat entry:
-
-```tsx filename="app/components/layout/Sidebar.tsx"
-import { IconList, IconMessageCircle } from "@tabler/icons-react";
-
-const navItems = [
-  {
-    icon: IconMessageCircle,
-    labelKey: "navigation.chat",
-    href: "/",
-    view: "chat",
-  },
-  {
-    icon: IconList,
-    labelKey: "navigation.textAnalyses",
-    href: "/text-analyses",
-    view: "text-analyses",
-  },
-];
-```
+Save action results to a database so the agent can reference them across
+conversations.
 
-`icon` takes an imported Tabler icon component, not a string name. `labelKey`
-looks up a string in the i18n catalog (`app/i18n/en-US.ts` and the other
-locale files); an unregistered key still renders — it falls back to a
-humanized version of the key (`navigation.textAnalyses` becomes "Text
-analyses") — but add it to the catalogs if you want the label translated. See
-[Internationalization](/docs/internationalization).
-
-Save the file. The dev server picks up the change automatically and the sidebar
-updates without a restart.
-
-### Agent navigation
-
-The sidebar link lets users navigate manually. The agent can also open pages on
-its own using two built-in actions that ship with the Chat template:
-
-- **`view-screen`** reads the current route and returns a compact summary of
-  what the user is looking at.
-- **`navigate`** writes a same-origin path to the browser's history.
-
-As you add more pages, keep `navigate` updated so the agent knows what
-destinations exist. Document available paths in `AGENTS.md` so the model can
-reason about them.
-
-When the app has both a full-page chat route and an app page, use the shared chat
-handoff helpers described in [Agent Surfaces](/docs/agent-surfaces#rich-chat):
-`AgentChatSurface`, `AgentSidebar`, `useAgentChatHomeHandoff`,
-`useAgentChatHomeHandoffLinks`, and `chatViewTransition`. That lets the full
-chat slide into the side panel as the page opens, keeping the same thread while
-the user inspects durable data.

+Build a React route that displays your saved data and wire it into the sidebar.
 
-The text-analyses example above is intentionally small so you can see the
-framework pieces. If you are building a real analytics product, start from
-[Analytics](/docs/template-analytics) instead. It is the robust starting point:
-connect your providers, use the existing dashboards and agent actions, then
-customize the app from there.
