# assistant-ui Update
**Always verifies against npm ground truth and GitHub commits.**
## References
- [./references/ai-sdk-v6.md](./references/ai-sdk-v6.md) -- AI SDK v4/v5 → v6 migration (complete guide)
- [./references/assistant-ui.md](./references/assistant-ui.md) -- assistant-ui version migrations
- [./references/breaking-changes.md](./references/breaking-changes.md) -- Quick reference table
## Phase 1: Detect Versions
### Get Ground Truth
```bash
# 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` | < 0.11.0 → 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└─ assistant-ui outdated?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
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
## Phase 3: Execute
### Update Packages
```bash
# pnpm
pnpm add @assistant-ui/react@latest @assistant-ui/react-ai-sdk@latest ai@latest @ai-sdk/react@latest
# npm
npm install @assistant-ui/react@latest @assistant-ui/react-ai-sdk@latest ai@latest @ai-sdk/react@latest
```
### Apply Migrations
Based on version jump, apply relevant migrations from references.
### Verify
```bash
npx tsc --noEmit # Type check
pnpm build # Build check
```
## Troubleshooting
**"Peer dependency conflict"**
- Update all packages together
- Check version compatibility in [./references/breaking-changes.md](./references/breaking-changes.md)
**Type errors after upgrade**
- Consult breaking changes reference
- Check specific migration guide
**Runtime errors**
- Verify API patterns match new version
- Check for renamed/moved APIs
