# thesys-generative-ui

## What it does

The skill covers the Thesys SDK workflow: you write a prompt like a profile card with avatar, name and email, and get a React component back. Generation follows a schema, so props stay typed instead of being guessed.

Inside are references on tool calling with Zod schemas, theme setup, and AI provider configuration for OpenAI, Anthropic and Cloudflare Workers AI. A separate guide walks through deployment on Vite, Next.js and Cloudflare Workers. Templates ship too: `basic-chat.tsx`, `custom-component.tsx`, `tool-calling.tsx`, `theme-dark-mode.tsx`, Next.js routes and a worker backend.

You need an API key for whichever provider you pick — without it `generateUI` calls fail. The skill installs into Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode; there is no Claude.ai install.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill thesys-generative-ui -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/thesys-generative-ui/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/thesys-generative-ui/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill thesys-generative-ui -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/thesys-generative-ui/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill thesys-generative-ui -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/thesys-generative-ui/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install secondsky/claude-skills thesys-generative-ui
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/thesys-generative-ui/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill thesys-generative-ui -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/secondsky/claude-skills --path plugins/thesys-generative-ui/skills/thesys-generative-ui
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/thesys-generative-ui/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add secondsky/claude-skills --skill thesys-generative-ui -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/secondsky/claude-skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/thesys-generative-ui/skills/thesys-generative-ui/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn a text description into a React component
- wire tool calling into generation with Zod schemas
- set up theming and dark mode for generated UI
- deploy a chat interface to Vite, Next.js or Cloudflare Workers
- connect OpenAI, Anthropic or Cloudflare Workers AI as the provider

## Example prompts
- generate a user profile card with avatar, name and email using Thesys
- add tool calling to this component and describe the schema with Zod
- set up a dark theme for the generated interface

# Thesys Generative UI

**Last Updated**: 2025-11-10

## Quick Start

```typescript
import { generateUI } from 'thesys';

const ui = await generateUI({
  prompt: 'Create a user profile card with avatar, name, and email',
  schema: {
    type: 'component',
    props: ['name', 'email', 'avatar']
  }
});

export default function Profile() {
  return <div>{ui}</div>;
}
```

## Core Features

- **Natural Language**: Describe UI in plain English
- **Schema-Driven**: Type-safe component generation
- **React Components**: Generate production-ready components
- **AI-Powered**: Uses LLMs for intelligent design

## Example

```typescript
const form = await generateUI({
  prompt: 'Create a contact form with name, email, and message fields',
  theme: 'modern'
});
```
