summary

Automated version detection and migration for assistant-ui and AI SDK with breaking-change guidance.

  • Detects current installed versions against npm ground truth and identifies which migrations are needed
  • Routes updates through AI SDK v6 migration first (if required), then assistant-ui version-specific migrations, with clear dependency ordering
  • Includes reference guides for AI SDK v4/v5 to v6 transitions, assistant-ui version jumps, and a breaking-changes quick reference table
  • Prov

assistant-ui Update

Always verifies against npm ground truth and GitHub commits.

Phase 1: Detect Versions

Get Ground Truth

# Installed versions
npm ls @assistant-ui/react @assistant-ui/react-ai-sdk ai @ai-sdk/react 2>/dev/null

# Latest from npm
npm view @assistant-ui/react version
npm view @assistant-ui/react-ai-sdk version
npm view ai version

Version Analysis

Package Check For
ai < 6.0.0 → needs AI SDK v6 migration
@assistant-ui/react < 0.12.0 → needs unified state API migration
@assistant-ui/react < 0.11.0 → needs runtime migration
@assistant-ui/react < 0.10.0 → needs ESM migration
@assistant-ui/react < 0.8.0 → needs UI split migration
@assistant-ui/react-ai-sdk < 1.0.0 → needs AI SDK v6 first

Phase 2: Route to Migration

AI SDK < 6.0.0?
├─ Yes → See ./references/ai-sdk-v6.md
└─ No
   └─ assistant-ui outdated?
      ├─ Yes → See ./references/assistant-ui.md
      └─ No → Already up to date

Migration Order

  1. AI SDK first (if < 6.0.0) - Required for @assistant-ui/react-ai-sdk >= 1.0
  2. assistant-ui second - Apply breaking changes for version jump
  3. Verify - Type check, build, test

Phase 3: Execute

Update Packages

# pnpm
pnpm add @assistant-ui/react@latest @assistant-ui/react-ai-sdk@latest ai@latest @ai-sdk/react@latest

# npm
npm install @assistant-ui/react@latest @assistant-ui/react-ai-sdk@latest ai@latest @ai-sdk/react@latest

Apply Migrations

Based on version jump, apply relevant migrations from references.

Verify

npx tsc --noEmit  # Type check
pnpm build        # Build check

Troubleshooting

"Peer dependency conflict"

Type errors after upgrade

  • Consult breaking changes reference
  • Check specific migration guide

Runtime errors

  • Verify API patterns match new version
  • Check for renamed/moved APIs
how to use update

How to use update on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

1

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

  • Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
  • Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
  • Active project directory or workspace where you want to add update
2

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/assistant-ui/skills --skill update

The skills CLI fetches update from GitHub repository assistant-ui/skills and configures it for Cursor.

3

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────
│ • Amp
│ • Antigravity
│ • Cline
│ • Codex
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│ • Cursor
│ • Windsurf
4

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/update

Reload or restart Cursor to activate update. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /update) or your agent's skill management interface.

Security & Verification Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Use Cases

User Story & Requirements Generation

Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs

Example

Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios

Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage

Competitive Analysis

Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps

Example

Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities

Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days

Roadmap Prioritization

Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs

Example

Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster

Stakeholder Communication

Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations

Example

Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement

Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead

Implementation Guide

Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop or compatible AI client
  • Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
  • Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
  • Stakeholder contact information and communication channels

Time Estimate

30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements

Installation Steps

  1. 1.Install product management skill
  2. 2.Start with user story generation for known feature
  3. 3.Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
  4. 4.Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
  5. 5.Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
  6. 6.Build template library for recurring PM tasks
  7. 7.Share effective prompts with product team

Common Pitfalls

  • Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
  • Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
  • Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
  • Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
  • Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements

Best Practices

✓ Do

  • +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
  • +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
  • +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
  • +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
  • +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
  • +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition

✗ Don't

  • Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
  • Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
  • Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
  • Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
  • Don't ignore company-specific context and culture

💡 Pro Tips

  • Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
  • Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
  • Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
  • Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs

When to Use This

✓ Use When

Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.

Learning Path

  1. 1Basic: user stories, feature specs, status updates
  2. 2Intermediate: competitive analysis, prioritization frameworks, PRDs
  3. 3Advanced: product strategy, go-to-market planning, OKR setting
  4. 4Expert: product vision, market positioning, business model innovation
