Assistant UI Skills - AI Chat Interface Dev Suite Setup¶

Source: assistant-ui/skills (28⭐, no LICENSE file, main branch, updated Sep 25, 2026) / Skill: assistant-ui/skills (17 installable skills, 89.5K combined installs) / Publisher: assistant-ui team (open source org) / Category: AI Chat UI / Frontend Development / Quality Tier: 🟡 Beta (functional, author-tested; repo has no LICENSE file, see Security, verified Sep 30, 2026)

assistant-ui/skills is the official skills repository from the assistant-ui organization, the team behind the assistant-ui chat library which has about 9K stars on its main project. The skills repo packages 17 agent skills for building AI chat interfaces: runtime setup, streaming, tool calling, UI primitives, thread lists, and framework bindings. Combined installs exceed 89K, which makes it one of the larger chat UI skill suites available. Note that the repository ships without a LICENSE file, so treat reuse as rights-reserved until the organization adds one.

Installation¶

npx skills add assistant-ui/skills

After installation, run npx skills --list and expect 17 entries under assistant-ui/skills. You can also clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/assistant-ui/skills.git and copy individual SKILL.md folders into your agent's skills directory if you only need a subset.

CorpusIQ Use Cases¶

Prototyping chat interfaces for visual answers	runtime and primitives provide a fast path for chat UI mockups
Streaming MCP answers in the dashboard	streaming covers incremental response display
Tool call surfaces for internal agents	tools documents rendering and approving tool calls

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

Limitations / Verification¶

Verified Sep 30, 2026. The repository has 28 stars and 17 SKILL.md entries; install figures were confirmed against the skills marketplace on the same date. The organization's main library has about 9K stars, so this skill repo is early and its layout may still change. The eight top skills account for roughly half of all installs; the remaining nine have lower individual counts.

Security¶

License: no LICENSE file present in the repository. Without a license, copyright defaults to the rights holder, so confirm reuse terms with the assistant-ui organization before commercial redistribution.
