setup

Installs and configures assistant-ui in a project via the CLI, and picks the right runtime for a backend. Use for first-time install, scaffold, or config: npx assistant-ui@latest create my-app (templates default, minimal, cloud, cloud-clerk, langchain, mcp, eve), npx assistant-ui@latest init [--yes] [--overwrite] in an existing Next.js app, or npx assistant-ui@latest add registry components (thread, markdown-text, thread-list, tool-fallback). Also covers the other CLI verbs: doctor, info, update, upgrade, mcp, and agent. Use to choose a runtime hook for a backend: useChatRuntime (AI SDK v7), useLangGraphRuntime, useAgUiRuntime, useA2ARuntime, useLocalRuntime (custom streaming API), or useExternalStoreRuntime (Redux/Zustand). Covers Vite/TanStack Start setup, Expo (--native) and React Ink (--ink) scaffolds, shadcn and Base UI registry styles, the playground --preset flag, and avoiding the deprecated @assistant-ui/styles and @assistant-ui/react-ui packages. For upgrading an existing install or post-upgrade breakage use update; for building UI from raw parts use primitives.
