Installation

Copy the source into your project, or keep it behind a package.

npx shadcn@latest add Tinkerers-Labs/mischief-ui/ask-ai

import { AskAi } from "mischief-ui/ask-ai"

Also installs

lucide-react

Or paste it in yourself. The source imports the shared cn helper from @/lib/utils, so point that at your own copy.

Usage

const prompt = [
  "Explain what Acme does using current web sources.",
  "Prefer Acme's own docs, cite every claim, and flag anything unverified.",
].join("\n")

export function AskAboutAcme() {
  return <AskAi subject="Acme" prompt={prompt} />
}

The prompt travels in a URL

Each target is a link that carries the prompt as a query parameter. Nothing is sent until someone chooses one, and then it leaves your site entirely: it lands in that assistant's logs, the reader's browser history, and anywhere a URL is ordinarily kept.

So build the prompt out of public things -- a page address, a product name, a question about documentation. Never interpolate a customer record, a file someone uploaded, an API key, or the contents of an internal page. If you would not paste it into a stranger's chat window, it does not belong in the prompt.

There is also a length limit you do not control: browsers and servers both cut long URLs off, and a very long prompt can arrive truncated. Keep it to an instruction and a link, and let the assistant fetch the rest.

Choosing who to offer

The default set covers the assistants people are most likely to have open. Replace it with targets to cut it down, reorder it, or point at something of your own -- an internal tool, a workspace with your documentation already loaded.

The copy control is the one that always works, since it needs no third party at all. Keep it available even when you have trimmed the targets to nothing.

Accessibility

Every assistant is a named external link with a 44px target and explicit new-tab wording. The copy action is a native button. Success and failure are shown in the button and announced through a polite status region. The component does not open a destination until someone chooses it. Prompts are placed in destination URLs, so they must not contain secrets or private data.
