update

Automated version detection and migration for assistant-ui and AI SDK with breaking-change guidance. Detects current installed versions against npm ground truth and identifies which migrations are needed Routes updates through AI SDK v6 migration first (if required), then assistant-ui version-specific migrations, with clear dependency ordering Includes reference guides for AI SDK v4/v5 to v6 transitions, assistant-ui version jumps, and a breaking-changes quick reference table Provides shell commands for package updates and verification steps (type checking, build validation)

### 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└─ assistant-ui outdated?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

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

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

npx tsc --noEmit # Type check

pnpm build # Build check
