How It Works

Installation to a working chat UI in three steps

Drop a skill file into your AI coding agent, run one command, and get a fully integrated chat UI.

Step 1: Install CometChat Skills

Add the CometChat skills file to your project

One command installs the right skill files across all supported agents and detects your framework automatically.

  • Supports React.js, Next.js, React Router, Astro, and more, out of the box.

  • Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Kiro, VS Code Copilot, and Codex.

  • No manual configuration needed. The skill adapts to your existing project setup.

Step 2: Configure

Run CometChat with your agent

Your agent reads your project, infers your credentials, and walks you through setup. No blank-screen debugging required.

  • Detects your framework, router type, and bundler automatically.

  • Infers CometChat credentials from your .env or existing init calls before asking

  • Applies the correct SSR prevention pattern for your specific framework

Step 3: Customize Chat

Build your chat experience using CometChat skills

Select from three pre-built chat layouts and your agent scaffolds the full integration with TypeScript types and error handling included.

  • Conversation list + message view for multi-conversation apps.

  • One-to-one chat for support or matched-pair messaging.

  • Tab-based chat for full-featured, messenger-style experiences.

CometChat Skills Features

Everything your agent needs to integrate CometChat

From SSR protection to automatic framework detection, every edge case is handled before you even think to ask.

Framework Detection

Reads your project before writing a single line. Identifies your router type, bundler, and framework version automatically — then applies the exact integration pattern your setup requires.

SSR Protection

Handles the blank screens before they happen. Enforces client-only rendering patterns specific to your framework, so Next.js, Astro, and React Router integrations work correctly the first time.

Zero-Touch Credential Setup

Never asks for what it can already find. Reads your .env or existing init calls to infer your CometChat credentials automatically, skipping the back-and-forth entirely.

Safe Project Patching

Adds only what's needed, nothing more. Patches your existing files minimally without touching your auth, routing, or app logic — your project stays yours.

Clean TypeScript Output

Generates production-ready code from the start. Every integration includes full TypeScript types with no shortcuts, and surfaces initialization and login errors in the UI instead of failing silently.

Post-Integration Verification

Confirms everything works before you do. Runs a checklist after setup to validate that credentials, SSR patterns, and component rendering are all correctly wired.

Chat Experiences

Pick the experience that fits your app

Choose from three ready-to-ship chat layouts and your agent scaffolds the full integration instantly.

Conversation List + Message View

A two-panel layout built for apps where users switch between multiple conversations. The left panel lists all conversations, the right opens the full message thread.

Includes conversation list, message header, message list, and composer.

Best for team chat, social, or multi-user messaging apps.

Clicking any conversation instantly loads the full thread on the right.

One-to-One Chat

A single focused message window with no conversation list; just a clean, direct chat between two parties.

Includes message header, message list, and composer.

Best for customer support, matched-pair, or peer-to-peer chat.

Hardcoded to a specific user or group for a streamlined experience.

Tab-Based Chat

A full-featured messenger-style layout with a tabbed left panel for navigating between Chats, Calls, Users, and Groups.

Includes a tab bar, matching CometChat list per tab, and a message view on the right

Best for apps that need a complete, self-contained chat product

Covers the full CometChat surface area in a single integrated experience
