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└─ assistant-ui outdated?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