prompt-kit Primitives

Fullstack building blocks for AI apps installable with shadcn CLI

Visit prompt-kit.com ↗

prompt-kit Primitives provides ready-to-use, composable fullstack blocks for React AI applications. Each primitive pairs a prebuilt UI component using Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui with an API route powered by the Vercel AI SDK (v5). You can drop functional AI interfaces like streaming chatbots and tool-calling flows directly into your codebase using a single CLI command.

What it's for

  • Add a complete streaming chatbot interface to a React or Next.js app
  • Implement tool-calling and function invocation displays with input/output visualizers
  • Prototype AI chat interfaces without writing boilerplate UI or backend wiring

Features

  • Fullstack blocks pairing frontend UI components with backend API routes
  • Prewired integration with Vercel AI SDK v5
  • Installation via the shadcn registry CLI using a single URL command
  • Styled with Tailwind CSS and designed to match shadcn/ui ecosystems
  • Compatible with any modern React framework
