AI Tools
AI tool surfaces — text writer, image generator, code generator, an assistant chat, a full-height inbox rail, and a model playground, each with live output panels.

AI Playground 01 — a settings rail beside a conversation, composed from generic
primitives. The rail tunes the session (model picker, a temperature range, an
editable system prompt, and usage budgets); the right card shows a conversation
thread with reasoning, a tool call, a stop reason, and the composer. Both panels
are <x-ui.card> surfaces.

Use with AI
A brief for your coding agent: what the block is, the install command, how to render it, its props and the rules. Copy it, or open a prompt about this block in an assistant.
# Brok UI block: AI Playground (`ai-tools-playground`)
A two-column model playground: a settings rail with model selector, temperature, system prompt, token counter, and usage ring beside a conversation that shows chain-of-thought, a tool call, a stop reason, and the prompt composer.
Brok UI is a Laravel Blade registry. `ui:add` copies this block into the app as plain Blade the app owns; it composes installed `<brok:*>` primitives and semantic design tokens.
## Install
```bash
php artisan ui:add blocks/ai-tools-playground
```
## Render it
```blade
<x-blocks.ai-tools-playground />
```
## Use when
- Showcasing a two-column AI playground: a settings rail (model, temperature, system prompt, usage) beside a conversation panel.
- Demoing chain-of-thought, a tool call and a stop reason inside the conversation panel alongside the composer.
## Avoid when
- Use ai-tools-chat for a single chat panel without a settings rail, or ai-tools-text through 03 for a single-purpose generation demo.
## Rules
- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.ai-tools-playground />` and pass data through its props; edit the copied file only for structural changes.
- Keep the semantic design tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`); never swap in raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes and the logical (start/end) spacing so the markup still mirrors under `dir="rtl"`.
## Links
- Docs: https://brokui.dev/blocks/ai-tools-playground
- Registry JSON (files, props, contract): https://brokui.dev/r/open/blocks/ai-tools-playground.json
Working in Claude Code, Cursor or Codex? Give the agent the whole registry through the MCP server or the Brok UI skill.
Guidance
Use when
- Showcasing a two-column AI playground: a settings rail (model, temperature, system prompt, usage) beside a conversation panel.
- Demoing chain-of-thought, a tool call and a stop reason inside the conversation panel alongside the composer.
Avoid when
- Use ai-tools-chat for a single chat panel without a settings rail, or ai-tools-text through 03 for a single-purpose generation demo.
Anti-patterns
- Do not replace semantic props with conflicting utility classes.
- Do not remove labels, focus styles, or state attributes.
- Anatomy
Usage
Render the block as a component, passing data where useful:
<x-blocks.ai-tools-playground />
Built from primitives
This block composes installed <brok:*> primitives and semantic design
tokens only — it does not reimplement any primitive. Re-theme it (light, dark, admin, customer) by
editing CSS variables; flip the preview to RTL to confirm it mirrors.
Source
The exact, editable file ui:add writes
into your app. The preview above renders this same source — there are no preview-only blocks.
