## What it is
prompt-kit is a collection of customizable, high-quality React UI components for building AI application interfaces such as chat experiences, agents, and assistants. It is built on top of shadcn/ui and installed via the shadcn CLI as copy-paste components styled with Tailwind CSS.

## Use cases
- build a chat interface for an LLM app
- add a prompt input box with file upload to my AI app
- display streaming AI responses with auto-scrolling
- show chain-of-thought reasoning steps in a chatbot UI
- render markdown and syntax-highlighted code blocks from AI responses
- collect user feedback on AI answers
- add prompt suggestions to an AI assistant

## When to choose
- you are building a React or Next.js AI chat app and want polished, accessible UI components
- you already use shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS and want AI-specific components in the same style
- you want copy-paste components you fully own and can customize
- you need chat primitives like message bubbles, prompt input, thinking indicators, and tool blocks

## When to avoid
- your project is not React-based (e.g., Vue, Svelte, plain HTML)
- you want a fully managed, prebuilt chat widget rather than source components you assemble yourself
- you need backend AI logic - prompt-kit is UI-only and does not handle model calls itself
- you cannot adopt Tailwind CSS or shadcn/ui conventions
