shadcn · x · 2026-07-15

shadcn has open-sourced @shadcn/helpers, described as a "small and focused" toolkit for developing and testing components.

Its first feature is createChat, which scripts a conversation between a user and an assistant for AI SDKs and TanStack AI, and then passes it to useChat to run a complete, realistic streaming lifecycle. Components receive native framework messages, supporting capabilities like reasoning and tool calling.
