@elizaos/ui

Shared UI primitives, composites, and layout utilities for elizaOS apps.

@elizaos/ui is the design system and front-end runtime glue used across the elizaOS ecosystem. It bundles the React component library, the agent dashboard shell, a typed HTTP/WebSocket API client for the agent runtime, the agent-surface layer that makes plugin views controllable by the agent, GenUI, voice, theming, i18n, and platform/bridge integration for web, desktop (Electrobun), and mobile (Capacitor).

Who uses it

It is imported by the elizaOS web and desktop app, the cloud frontend, the marketing/OS homepages, and many plugin UI packages. React and react-dom are peer dependencies — the host application owns the React instance.

Install

bun add @elizaos/ui

Requires react and react-dom 19.2.5 as peer dependencies.

Usage

Import components and utilities from the root barrel or, preferably, from a subpath to keep bundles lean:

import { Button } from "@elizaos/ui/button";
import { ElizaClient } from "@elizaos/ui/api";
import { useMediaQuery } from "@elizaos/ui/hooks";
import "@elizaos/ui/styles"; // default stylesheets (renderer only)

Cloud-frontend components live under a dedicated subpath:

import { DashboardActionCards } from "@elizaos/ui/cloud-ui";
import "@elizaos/ui/cloud-ui/index.css";

Stylesheets are intentionally separate from the JS barrel so Node-side plugin loaders can import @elizaos/ui without evaluating CSS. Import @elizaos/ui/styles explicitly from the renderer.

Notable subsystems

• API client (@elizaos/ui/api) — ElizaClient plus per-domain client modules for agents, chat, cloud, automations, and more.
• Agent surface (re-exported from @elizaos/ui) — useAgentElement and the provider/overlay that let the agent address, focus, fill, and click view elements. See src/agent-surface/README.md.
• GenUI (@elizaos/ui/genui) — declarative, agent-generated UI (an A2UI-compatible subset). See src/genui/README.md.
• Config (@elizaos/ui/config) — boot config, branding, and the plugin-config UI-spec engine.
• Registries — registerAppShellPage for runtime nav tabs, the widget and overlay-app registries, and registerProviderLogo.

Development

bun run --cwd packages/ui build       # build the publishable dist/
bun run --cwd packages/ui typecheck
bun run --cwd packages/ui test
bun run --cwd packages/ui lint
bun run --cwd packages/ui stories:dev # component stories

This is a library; there is no standalone dev server — run it through a host app.
