tool-ui: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/generate-tool-ui.md

generate-tool-ui is a command for Claude Code from assistant-ui/tool-ui. It costs 14 tokens per session (548 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that guides the creation of a Tool UI component, including its design, code, examples, documentation, and review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a new Tool UI component to an existing repository. It helps define the component’s data format, actions, responses, accessibility behavior, examples, and documentation.
Why use it?
It organizes several development tasks and checks into one workflow, so important component details and project requirements are less likely to be missed.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

This is assistant-ui/tool-ui's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on tool-ui itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tool-ui configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

generate-tool-ui scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Generate Tool UI

Create a new Tool UI component through a maintainer-first workflow.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS

If no arguments are provided, start with the designer interview. If a component slug is provided, use it as the starting point.

Workflow

This command orchestrates 5 specialized agents in sequence:

designer → implementer → (examples ∥ documenter) → reviewer

Execution Steps

1. Design

Launch tool-ui-designer to interview and produce a concrete design spec:

  • component slug + label
  • serializable schema shape
  • action semantics
  • receipt semantics (choice)
  • accessibility + state behavior

2. Implement

Launch tool-ui-implementer with the design spec.

Implementation must follow current repo contracts:

  • scaffold-first: pnpm component:new <slug> when creating from scratch
  • schema contract via defineToolUiContract + parseSerializableX + safeParseSerializableX
  • receipt prop is choice (never confirmed / decision)
  • maintain component directory file contract (including README.md)
  • update aggregate exports in apps/www/components/tool-ui/index.ts

3. Examples + Docs (Parallel)

Launch both in parallel:

  • tool-ui-examples: presets + gallery/showcase decisions
  • tool-ui-documenter: docs page + registry wiring

4. Review

Launch tool-ui-reviewer as the quality gate.

Hard gates:

  • pnpm lint:ci
  • pnpm typecheck
  • pnpm test
  • pnpm registry:check

5. Report

Return a concise summary:

  • files created/updated
  • any warnings
  • final gate status

Critical Registration Points

The documenter/reviewer must ensure all of these are wired:

File Purpose
apps/www/lib/docs/component-registry.ts Component metadata + docs nav categorization
apps/www/lib/docs/preview-config.tsx Interactive preview config + ComponentId coverage
apps/www/app/docs/_components/preset-selector.tsx Examples tab preset mapping
apps/www/app/docs/{name}/page.tsx ComponentDocsTabs docs/examples surface

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
