-
-"log" is a message to the user, and the user reads every one: send it only to reply to their message, to tell them something no question or step conveys (a blocker, a deviation from the plan, a decision you made for them), or once as a wrap-up when the install is finished. Findings go in the plan, progress in step notes, questions in "ask"; do not narrate.
-
-${started ? agentStartedHandoff(started) : beginPlanHandoff(cmd, url)}
-
-The remaining phases are plan, then install.
-
-1. Plan. Investigate only; change nothing yet. If the current directory is not an app to install into (a monorepo root, an empty folder, a library), ask where to install first:
-  ${cmd} ${url} ask "Which project should I install into?" --placeholder "An absolute path to the app" --wait
-Read the project: its app framework and package manager, the agent framework and model provider it already uses, where components live, any existing chat route. Fetch each product's "guide" URL from the setup below; it is the install reference. Ask for what the project does not decide, using the standard questions so the browser can render them well:
-  ${cmd} ${url} ask --preset framework
-  ${cmd} ${url} ask --preset llm-provider
-The setup's products are starting names and guide references. If the setup lists no products, first ask the user what to set up with a choice question whose options are slugs from https://www.assistant-ui.com/catalog.md, then fetch https://www.assistant-ui.com/install.md?items=<slugs> as the guide. Explore each product's setup instructions, then discover and plan any other relevant products or dependencies the app needs. Read /catalog.md on the guide URL’s origin to find related products and fetch their setup guides. The starting list does not restrict the implementation or require adding another product to the list. Include relevant additions in the plan for approval.
-When the setup puts an assistant in the app, ask how users should access it after discovering the actual app and before proposing the plan. Skip this question when no product's guide installs an assistant (a standalone library or service setup, for example). Use an entry-point question with only 1–3 sensible alternatives. Describe the actual app's pages, workflow and component placement, not generic placeholder copy. Recommend one clear fit when there is one; two options may use the same form factor in different places. Each option needs a stable id, label, contextual description and entryPoint {"formFactor":"modal"|"sidebar"|"full-page","placement":"where it appears","trigger":"how users open it or navigate to it","recommended":true?}. Write the JSON array for this app and send it with:
-  ${cmd} ${url} ask "Where should users access the assistant?" --entry-points '<JSON array>' --wait
-Mark a clear fit with "recommended":true rather than --default, so the user makes the pick. When you ask it, do not submit the plan before the user picks an entry point. Respect the selected placement and trigger in the plan and implementation. Do not ask for a new-versus-existing app setting; discover the app from its files and ask only for an install path when needed.
-Skip a preset the code already answers (a chat route on the AI SDK, a provider key in .env.local) and log why. Ask everything at once, keep investigating, and then run "wait <input-id>" for each open question before you write the plan; do not end your turn while they are open. A framework answer is "<framework>:<language>", for example "ai-sdk:typescript". A model answer is JSON {"provider","model","reasoningEffort"?}. An answer may carry a "note" from the user; follow it. A choice answer that matches none of the options is the user's own text.
-Then write the plan as markdown and submit it:
-  ${cmd} ${url} plan --file <path> --wait
-Use these headings, each with bullets: "## What I found" (facts as \`- **Label:** value\`: app framework, package manager, agent framework, model provider and model, where components live), "## What I will install" (packages and files, one per bullet), "## Steps" (a numbered list, one line each), and "## Open questions" only if any remain. Keep it under 30 lines; no preamble. "plan --wait" prints {"decision":"approve"} or {"decision":"revise","feedback":"..."}; when it prints {"ok":false,"status":"waiting"}, the plan is submitted and still with the user, so keep waiting with "wait plan" and do not submit it again. On revise, address the feedback (ask again if you need to) and submit a new plan; repeat until approved. Do not change the project before approval: the setup refuses steps until then.
-
-2. Install. Declare the steps from your plan up front, in order:
-  ${cmd} ${url} add-step "<title>" --detail "<one line>"
-which prints the step id. Then work through them: "step <id> active" before, "step <id> done --note '<one line on what you did>'" after; "skipped" when the step is already satisfied, "blocked" when you cannot continue, saying why in --note. Add steps as the work reveals them. Ask when you need another decision or value (--choices for a pick, plain for text; --optional when you can proceed without an answer; --wait only when the answer is the very next thing you need). A choice question is multi-select: the user checks any number of your options, and the answer is an array of the ids they checked, plus their own text as an entry when they typed one. Pass --single only when the options exclude each other (one framework, one model, yes or no); the answer is then one id. Every option must carry an icon, given as --icons "<id>=<icon>,..." with the closest name from this pack: ${OPTION_ICONS.join(", ")}. A question without an icon for each option is refused. Open inputs the user has not answered are listed under "inputs" in "status"; check them before asking again.
-The API key behind a model answer is not in the answer and you never see it: pick the variable name the provider's SDK reads (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, ...) and run
-  ${cmd} ${url} env <input-id> <ENV_VAR> --file .env.local
-which writes ENV_VAR=<key> into that file. Use the answer's model in the chat route and map reasoningEffort onto the provider's setting when it is set. If "env" says the key was never deposited (the model question was answered from your conversation), ask the user to add the key to that file themselves. Never invent a key or a model name.
-
-When every product is installed and verified, run
-  ${cmd} ${url} done --summary "<one or two lines on what you installed and how to try it>" --preview http://localhost:<port>
-Before that, start the project's dev server in the background when the project has one, check that the page you changed loads, and pass the address as --preview (the page itself when it is not the root); leave the server running so the user can try the result. Omit --preview when there is nothing to open. This proposes closing the setup; only the user closes it. Do not stop the stream or exit: stay idle on it, because the user may follow up with a "message.created" event. Handle it, then run "done" again. The stream prints "finished" once the user closes the setup, and "cancelled" if they end it early. Keep the stream running after either: the user's next setup starts on this same URL and arrives as "setup.created" with its products. Run
-  ${cmd} ${url} wait start
-which returns once that setup begins, then run "status" for its products, guides and instructions and go through plan and install again. A "setup.created" event while you are still working means the user replaced this setup: drop what you were doing and start over the same way.
