ai-elements

ai-elements is a skill for Claude Code from existential-birds/beagle. It costs 60 tokens per session (2,639 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to AI Elements, a React component library for AI interfaces. Its components can display conversations, messages, tool execution, reasoning, loading states, confirmations, and work queues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding chat screens, tool-use displays, reasoning views, confirmation steps, or queues for background jobs to a React application.
Why use it?
It provides documented component setup for common AI interface parts instead of requiring each chat or job-status display to be built from scratch.

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

ai-elements 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 1mo 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.

AI Elements

AI Elements is a comprehensive React component library for building AI-powered user interfaces. The library provides 30+ components specifically designed for chat interfaces, tool execution visualization, reasoning displays, and workflow management.

Installation

Install via shadcn registry:

npx shadcn@latest add https://ai-elements.vercel.app/r/[component-name]

Import Pattern: Components are imported from individual files, not a barrel export:

// Correct - import from specific files
import { Conversation } from "@/components/ai-elements/conversation";
import { Message } from "@/components/ai-elements/message";
import { PromptInput } from "@/components/ai-elements/prompt-input";

// Incorrect - no barrel export
import { Conversation, Message } from "@/components/ai-elements";

Gates (before relying on examples)

Use this sequence when adding or wiring AI Elements so setup is checkable, not assumed.

  1. Install each component — Run npx shadcn@latest add https://ai-elements.vercel.app/r/[component-name] for every component you need.

    • Pass: The command completes successfully and a file for that component exists under your project’s components/ai-elements/ (or the directory components.json uses for those additions).
  2. Align import paths — Every import … from "@/components/ai-elements/..." must match your repo’s actual alias and folder layout.

    • Pass: Each import resolves to a file on disk (IDE navigation or build/tsc shows no “cannot find module” for those paths).
  3. Match Tool / Confirmation states to your AI SDK — State strings (including approval-related states) depend on the installed ai package major/version.

    • Pass: The states you pass to ToolHeader, Tool, or Confirmation are listed in the AI SDK version you have installed (docs or exported types), not copied from memory alone.

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.
