81
+
82
+ ## Quick Start
83
+
84
+ Minimal example:
85
+
86
+ ```tsx
87
+ import { ThreadPrimitive } from "@assistant-ui/react";
88
+
89
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Root>
90
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Viewport>
91
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
92
+ {() => <MyMessage />}
93
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
94
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Viewport>
95
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Root>
96
+ ```
97
+
98
+ `Root` renders a `<div>`, `Viewport` renders a scrollable `<div>`, and `Messages` iterates over the thread's messages. Add your own styles and components; the primitive handles the rest.
99
+
100
+ <Callout type="info">
101
+ Runtime setup: primitives require runtime context. Wrap your UI in `AssistantRuntimeProvider` with a runtime (for example `useLocalRuntime(...)`). See [Pick a Runtime](/docs/runtimes/pick-a-runtime).
102
+ </Callout>
103
+
104
+ ## Core Concepts
105
+
106
+ ### Viewport & Auto-Scroll
107
+
108
+ `Viewport` is the scrollable container. It auto-scrolls to the bottom as new content streams in, but only if the user hasn't scrolled up manually. Set `autoScroll={false}` to disable this entirely.
109
+
110
+ ```tsx
111
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Viewport autoScroll={true}>
112
+ {/* messages */}
113
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Viewport>
114
+ ```
115
+
116
+ ### Turn Anchor
117
+
118
+ By default, new messages appear at the bottom and scroll down. With `turnAnchor="top"`, the user's message anchors to the top of the viewport. This creates the modern reading experience where you see the question at the top and the response flowing below it.
119
+
120
+ ```tsx
121
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Viewport turnAnchor="top">
122
+ {/* messages */}
123
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Viewport>
124
+ ```
125
+
126
+ This is what the shadcn Thread component uses by default. For scroll anchoring to work correctly, `ViewportSlack` is needed on the last assistant message to provide enough min-height for the user message to anchor at the top. This is included automatically in the shadcn component.
127
+
128
+ ### Viewport Scroll Options
129
+
130
+ `ThreadPrimitive.Viewport` has three event-specific scroll controls:
131
+
132
+ - `scrollToBottomOnRunStart` (default `true`): scrolls when `thread.runStart` fires
133
+ - `scrollToBottomOnInitialize` (default `true`): scrolls when `thread.initialize` fires
134
+ - `scrollToBottomOnThreadSwitch` (default `true`): scrolls when `threadListItem.switchedTo` fires
135
+
136
+ These work alongside `autoScroll`. If `autoScroll` is omitted, it defaults to `true` for `turnAnchor="bottom"` and `false` for `turnAnchor="top"`.
137
+
138
+ ```tsx
139
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Viewport
140
+ turnAnchor="top"
141
+ autoScroll={false}
142
+ scrollToBottomOnRunStart={true}
143
+ scrollToBottomOnInitialize={false}
144
+ scrollToBottomOnThreadSwitch={true}
145
+ >
146
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
147
+ {({ message }) => {
148
+ if (message.role === "user") return <UserMessage />;
149
+ return <AssistantMessage />;
150
+ }}
151
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
152
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Viewport>
153
+ ```
154
+
155
+ ### ViewportFooter
156
+
157
+ `ViewportFooter` sticks to the bottom of the viewport and registers its height so the auto-scroll system accounts for it. This is where you place your composer:
158
+
159
+ ```tsx
160
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Viewport>
161
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
162
+ {() => <MyMessage />}
163
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
164
+ <ThreadPrimitive.ViewportFooter className="sticky bottom-0">
165
+ <MyComposer />
166
+ </ThreadPrimitive.ViewportFooter>
167
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Viewport>
168
+ ```
169
+
170
+ ### Empty State
171
+
172
+ <Callout type="warn">
173
+ `ThreadPrimitive.Empty` is deprecated. Use [`AuiIf`](/docs/api-reference/primitives/assistant-if) instead.
174
+ </Callout>
175
+
176
+ ```tsx
177
+ <AuiIf condition={(s) => s.thread.isEmpty}>
178
+ <div className="flex flex-col items-center gap-2 text-center">
179
+ <h2>Welcome!</h2>
180
+ <p>How can I help you today?</p>
181
+ </div>
182
+ </AuiIf>
183
+ ```
184
+
185
+ ### Messages Iterator
186
+
187
+ `Messages` now prefers a children render function. It gives you the current message state so you can branch inline:
188
+
189
+ ```tsx
190
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
191
+ {({ message }) => {
192
+ if (message.composer.isEditing) return <MyEditComposer />;
193
+ if (message.role === "user") return <MyUserMessage />;
194
+ return <MyAssistantMessage />;
195
+ }}
196
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
197
+ ```
198
+
199
+ `components` is deprecated. Use the `children` render function instead.
200
+
201
+ ### Suggestions Iterator
202
+
203
+ `Suggestions` follows the same pattern. Prefer the children render function when rendering custom suggestion UIs:
204
+
205
+ ```tsx
206
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Suggestions>
207
+ {() => <MySuggestionButton />}
208
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Suggestions>
209
+ ```
210
+
211
+ ## Parts
212
+
213
+ ### Root
214
+
215
+ Top-level container for a thread layout. Renders a `<div>` element unless `asChild` is set.
216
+
217
+ ```tsx
218
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Root className="flex h-full flex-col">
219
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Viewport>
220
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
221
+ {() => <MyMessage />}
222
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
223
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Viewport>
224
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Root>
225
+ ```
226
+
227
+ ### Viewport
228
+
229
+ The scrollable area with auto-scroll behavior. Renders a `<div>` element unless `asChild` is set.
230
+
231
+ ```tsx
232
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Viewport
233
+ turnAnchor="top"
234
+ autoScroll={false}
235
+ scrollToBottomOnRunStart={true}
236
+ >
237
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
238
+ {({ message }) => {
239
+ if (message.role === "user") return <UserMessage />;
240
+ return <AssistantMessage />;
241
+ }}
242
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
243
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Viewport>
244
+ ```
245
+
246
+ <PrimitivesTypeTable type="ThreadPrimitiveViewportProps" parameters={ThreadPrimitiveDocs.Viewport.props.filter(p => p.name !== "asChild")} />
247
+
248
+ ### ViewportFooter
249
+
250
+ Footer container that registers its height with the viewport scroll system. Renders a `<div>` element unless `asChild` is set.
251
+
252
+ ```tsx
253
+ <ThreadPrimitive.ViewportFooter className="sticky bottom-0 pt-2">
254
+ <ComposerPrimitive.Root>...</ComposerPrimitive.Root>
255
+ </ThreadPrimitive.ViewportFooter>
256
+ ```
257
+
258
+ ### ViewportProvider
259
+
260
+ Provides viewport context without rendering a scrollable element. Use this when you have a custom scroll container.
261
+
262
+ ```tsx
263
+ <ThreadPrimitive.ViewportProvider>
264
+ <div className="flex-1 overflow-y-auto">
265
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
266
+ {() => <MyMessage />}
267
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
268
+ <ThreadPrimitive.ViewportFooter>
269
+ <MyComposer />
270
+ </ThreadPrimitive.ViewportFooter>
271
+ </div>
272
+ </ThreadPrimitive.ViewportProvider>
273
+ ```
274
+
275
+ ### ViewportSlack
276
+
277
+ Adds min-height for scroll anchoring with `turnAnchor="top"`. It wraps its child element via `Slot` and does not render a DOM element of its own.
278
+
279
+ ```tsx
280
+ <MessagePrimitive.Root>
281
+ <MessagePrimitive.Parts />
282
+ <ThreadPrimitive.ViewportSlack>
283
+ <div className="min-h-[40vh]" />
284
+ </ThreadPrimitive.ViewportSlack>
285
+ </MessagePrimitive.Root>
286
+ ```
287
+
288
+ Props: `fillClampThreshold` and `fillClampOffset` control how the slack height is calculated. `children` is required.
289
+
290
+ ### Messages
291
+
292
+ Renders a component for each message in the thread, resolved by role and edit state.
293
+
294
+ ```tsx
295
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
296
+ {({ message }) => {
297
+ if (message.composer.isEditing) return <MyEditComposer />;
298
+ if (message.role === "user") return <MyUserMessage />;
299
+ return <MyAssistantMessage />;
300
+ }}
301
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Messages>
302
+ ```
303
+
304
+ <PrimitivesTypeTable type="ThreadPrimitiveMessagesProps" parameters={ThreadPrimitiveDocs.Messages.props} />
305
+
306
+ ### MessageByIndex
307
+
308
+ Renders a single message at a specific index in the thread.
309
+
310
+ ```tsx
311
+ <ThreadPrimitive.MessageByIndex
312
+ index={0}
313
+ components={{ Message: MyMessage }}
314
+ />
315
+ ```
316
+
317
+ <PrimitivesTypeTable type="ThreadPrimitiveMessageByIndexProps" parameters={ThreadPrimitiveDocs.MessageByIndex.props} />
318
+
319
+ ### ScrollToBottom
320
+
321
+ Scrolls the viewport to the bottom. Automatically disabled when already at the bottom. Renders a `<button>` element unless `asChild` is set.
322
+
323
+ ```tsx
324
+ <ThreadPrimitive.ScrollToBottom className="rounded-full bg-background p-2 shadow-md">
325
+ <ArrowDownIcon />
326
+ </ThreadPrimitive.ScrollToBottom>
327
+ ```
328
+
329
+ <PrimitivesTypeTable type="ThreadPrimitiveScrollToBottomProps" parameters={ThreadPrimitiveDocs.ScrollToBottom.props.filter(p => p.name !== "asChild")} />
330
+
331
+ ### Suggestions
332
+
333
+ Renders suggestion prompts via a component.
334
+
335
+ ```tsx
336
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Suggestions>
337
+ {({ suggestion }) => <MySuggestionButton prompt={suggestion.prompt} />}
338
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Suggestions>
339
+ ```
340
+
341
+ <PrimitivesTypeTable type="ThreadPrimitiveSuggestionsProps" parameters={ThreadPrimitiveDocs.Suggestions.props} />
342
+
343
+ ### SuggestionByIndex
344
+
345
+ Renders a single suggestion at a specific index.
346
+
347
+ ```tsx
348
+ <ThreadPrimitive.SuggestionByIndex
349
+ index={0}
350
+ components={{ Suggestion: MySuggestion }}
351
+ />
352
+ ```
353
+
354
+ <PrimitivesTypeTable type="ThreadPrimitiveSuggestionByIndexProps" parameters={ThreadPrimitiveDocs.SuggestionByIndex.props} />
355
+
356
+ ### Suggestion
357
+
358
+ Self-contained suggestion button. Renders a `<button>` element unless `asChild` is set. *(Legacy -- prefer `Suggestions` iterator.)*
359
+
360
+ ```tsx
361
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Suggestion prompt="Write a blog post" send />
362
+ ```
363
+
364
+ <PrimitivesTypeTable type="ThreadPrimitiveSuggestionProps" parameters={ThreadPrimitiveDocs.Suggestion.props.filter(p => p.name !== "asChild")} />
365
+
366
+ ### Empty
367
+
368
+ <Callout type="warn">
369
+ Deprecated. Use [`AuiIf`](/docs/api-reference/primitives/assistant-if) with `s.thread.isEmpty` instead.
370
+ </Callout>
371
+
372
+ Legacy helper that only renders its children when the thread is empty.
373
+
374
+ ```tsx
375
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Empty>
376
+ <div className="text-center text-muted-foreground">
377
+ No messages yet.
378
+ </div>
379
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Empty>
380
+ ```
381
+
382
+ ### If (deprecated)
383
+
384
+ <Callout type="warn">
385
+ Deprecated. Use [`AuiIf`](/docs/api-reference/primitives/assistant-if) instead.
386
+ </Callout>
387
+
388
+ ```tsx
389
+ // Before (deprecated)
390
+ <ThreadPrimitive.If empty>...</ThreadPrimitive.If>
391
+ <ThreadPrimitive.If running>...</ThreadPrimitive.If>
392
+ <ThreadPrimitive.If disabled>...</ThreadPrimitive.If>
393
+
394
+ // After
395
+ <AuiIf condition={(s) => s.thread.isEmpty}>...</AuiIf>
396
+ <AuiIf condition={(s) => s.thread.isRunning}>...</AuiIf>
397
+ <AuiIf condition={(s) => s.thread.isDisabled}>...</AuiIf>
398
+ ```
399
+
400
+ ## Patterns
401
+
402
+ ### Welcome Screen with Suggestions
403
+
404
+ ```tsx
405
+ <AuiIf condition={(s) => s.thread.isEmpty}>
406
+ <div className="flex flex-col items-center gap-4 text-center">
407
+ <h2>What can I help with?</h2>
408
+ <div className="grid grid-cols-2 gap-2">
409
+ <ThreadPrimitive.Suggestions>
410
+ {() => <MySuggestionButton />}
411
+ </ThreadPrimitive.Suggestions>
412
+ </div>
413
+ </div>
414
+ </AuiIf>
415
+ ```
416
+
417
+ ### Scroll-to-Bottom Button
418
+
419
+ ```tsx
420
+ <ThreadPrimitive.ScrollToBottom className="fixed bottom-24 right-4 rounded-full bg-background p-2 shadow-md">
421
+ <ArrowDownIcon />
422
+ </ThreadPrimitive.ScrollToBottom>
423
+ ```
424
+
425
+ The button is automatically disabled when the viewport is already scrolled to the bottom.

471
+ ## Relationship to Components
472
+
473
+ The [Thread](/docs/ui/thread) component is a full chat interface built from these primitives with Tailwind styling. Start there for a default implementation. Reach for `ThreadPrimitive` when you need a custom layout, different scroll behavior, or a non-standard thread structure.
474
+
475
+ ## API Reference
476
+
477
+ For full prop details on every part, see the [ThreadPrimitive API Reference](/docs/api-reference/primitives/thread).

+ title: Mention
3
+ description: Let users @-mention tools in the composer with a keyboard-navigable popover picker and inline chips.
4
+ ---
5
+
6
+ ## Getting Started
7
+
8
+ <Steps>
9
+ <Step>
10
+
11
+ ### Add `composer-mention`
12
+
13
+ <InstallCommand shadcn={["composer-mention"]} />
14
+
15
+ This adds a `/components/assistant-ui/composer-mention.tsx` file with `ComposerMentionPopover`, `ComposerMentionRoot`, and `DirectiveText`.
16
+
17
+ </Step>
18
+ <Step>
19
+
20
+ ### Wrap the Composer
21
+
22
+ Wrap your composer with `ComposerMentionPopover.Root` and add `<ComposerMentionPopover />` inside:
23
+
24
+ ```tsx title="components/assistant-ui/thread.tsx" {1,7,10}
25
+ import { ComposerMentionPopover } from "@/components/assistant-ui/composer-mention";
26
+
27
+ const Composer = () => {
28
+ return (
29
+ <ComposerMentionPopover.Root>
30
+ <ComposerPrimitive.Root>
31
+ <ComposerPrimitive.Input placeholder="Type @ to mention a tool..." />
32
+ <ComposerPrimitive.Send />
33
+ <ComposerMentionPopover />
34
+ </ComposerPrimitive.Root>
35
+ </ComposerMentionPopover.Root>
36
+ );
37
+ };
38
+ ```
39
+
40
+ The popover automatically shows registered tools when the user types `@`.
41
+
42
+ </Step>
43
+ <Step>
44
+
45
+ ### Render Mentions in User Messages
46
+
47
+ Use `DirectiveText` as the `Text` component for **user messages** so mention directives render as inline chips instead of raw `:tool[label]` syntax:
48
+
49
+ ```tsx title="components/assistant-ui/thread.tsx" {1,8}
50
+ import { DirectiveText } from "@/components/assistant-ui/composer-mention";
51
+
52
+ const UserMessage = () => {
53
+ return (
54
+ <MessagePrimitive.Root>
55
+ <MessagePrimitive.Parts
56
+ components={{
57
+ Text: DirectiveText,
58
+ }}
59
+ />
60
+ </MessagePrimitive.Root>
61
+ );
62
+ };
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ <Callout>
66
+ `DirectiveText` renders plain text with mention chips. For assistant messages
67
+ that contain markdown, keep using your markdown renderer (e.g. `MarkdownText`).
68
+ </Callout>
69
+
70
+ </Step>
71
+ </Steps>
72
+
73
+ ## With Lexical Rich Editor
74
+
75
+ For inline mention chips in the composer (not just the popover), use `LexicalComposerInput` from `@assistant-ui/react-lexical`:
76
+
77
+ ```bash
78
+ npm install @assistant-ui/react-lexical lexical @lexical/react
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ Replace `ComposerPrimitive.Input` with `LexicalComposerInput`:
82
+
83
+ ```tsx title="components/assistant-ui/thread.tsx" {1,8}
84
+ import { LexicalComposerInput } from "@assistant-ui/react-lexical";
85
+
86
+ const Composer = () => {
87
+ return (
88
+ <ComposerMentionPopover.Root>
89
+ <ComposerPrimitive.Root>
90
+ <LexicalComposerInput placeholder="Type @ to mention a tool..." />
91
+ <ComposerPrimitive.Send />
92
+ <ComposerMentionPopover />
93
+ </ComposerPrimitive.Root>
94
+ </ComposerMentionPopover.Root>
95
+ );
96
+ };
97
+ ```
98
+
99
+ `LexicalComposerInput` auto-wires to `MentionContext` — no extra props needed. Selected mentions appear as inline chips that are treated as atomic units (select, delete, undo as a whole).
100
+
101
+ ## Custom Formatter
102
+
103
+ The default directive format is `:type[label]{name=id}`. To use a custom format, pass a `formatter` to both the mention root and the message renderer:
104
+
105
+ ```tsx
106
+ import { ComposerMentionPopover } from "@/components/assistant-ui/composer-mention";
107
+ import { createDirectiveText } from "@/components/assistant-ui/composer-mention";
108
+
109
+ const myFormatter = {
110
+ serialize: (item) => `@${item.id}`,
111
+ parse: (text) => [{ kind: "text", text }], // implement your parsing
112
+ };
113
+
114
+ // In composer (textarea path):
115
+ <ComposerMentionPopover.Root formatter={myFormatter}>
116
+ ...
117
+ </ComposerMentionPopover.Root>
118
+
119
+ // In composer (Lexical path — also pass formatter):
120
+ <ComposerMentionPopover.Root formatter={myFormatter}>
121
+ <ComposerPrimitive.Root>
122
+ <LexicalComposerInput formatter={myFormatter} />
123
+ ...
124
+ </ComposerPrimitive.Root>
125
+ </ComposerMentionPopover.Root>
126
+
127
+ // In user messages:
128
+ const MyDirectiveText = createDirectiveText(myFormatter);
129
+ <MessagePrimitive.Parts components={{ Text: MyDirectiveText }} />
130
+ ```
131
+
132
+ ## Keyboard Navigation
133
+
134
+ The mention popover supports full keyboard navigation out of the box:
135
+
136
+ | Key | Action |
137
+ | --- | --- |
138
+ | <Kbd>ArrowDown</Kbd> | Highlight next item |
139
+ | <Kbd>ArrowUp</Kbd> | Highlight previous item |
140
+ | <Kbd>Enter</Kbd> | Select highlighted item / drill into category |
141
+ | <Kbd>Escape</Kbd> | Close popover |
142
+ | <Kbd>Backspace</Kbd> | Go back to categories (when query is empty) |
143
+
144
+ ## Components
145
+
146
+ ### `ComposerMentionPopover.Root`
147
+
148
+ Wraps the composer with mention context and a tool mention adapter. Provides the `@`-trigger detection, keyboard navigation, and popover state.
149
+
150
+ | Prop | Type | Default | Description |
151
+ | --- | --- | --- | --- |
152
+ | `adapter` | `Unstable_MentionAdapter` | Tool adapter | Custom mention adapter |
153
+ | `trigger` | `string` | `"@"` | Character(s) that open the popover |
154
+ | `formatter` | `Unstable_DirectiveFormatter` | Default | Custom directive serializer/parser |
155
+ | `formatLabel` | `(name: string) => string` | Title case | Format tool names for display |
156
+ | `categoryLabel` | `string` | `"Tools"` | Label for the tools category |
157
+
158
+ ### `ComposerMentionPopover`
159
+
160
+ Pre-built popover containing categories and items lists. Only renders when the `@` trigger is active.
161
+
162
+ ### `DirectiveText`
163
+
164
+ A `TextMessagePartComponent` that parses `:type[label]{name=id}` directives and renders them as styled inline chips.
165
+
166
+ ### `createDirectiveText(formatter)`
167
+
168
+ Factory function that creates a `TextMessagePartComponent` using a custom `Unstable_DirectiveFormatter`.
