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

PackageCheck 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

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
