 "page_title": "How to show an agent thinking state in a React chat app with Aicss",
 "summary": "Install @aicss/react and render the ThinkingState component while an AI agent works.",
 "who": "A React developer building an AI agent chat screen who needs a visible 'agent is thinking' indicator while a response is pending.",
 "problem": "Writing a loading or thinking indicator for agent conversations from scratch takes time and is easy to leave out of the UI.",
 "outcome": "The chat UI shows the ThinkingState component from the free npm package while the agent is busy.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `npm install @aicss/react` in the project root.",
  "Add `import { ThinkingState } from \"@aicss/react/thinking-state\";` to the chat component file.",
  "Render <ThinkingState /> in the chat view where the pending agent reply appears.",
  "Start the app and trigger an agent request to confirm the indicator shows and hides."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the repo kvnkld/aicss, install @aicss/react in the project at <project-path> and add the ThinkingState component from @aicss/react/thinking-state to the chat view at <chat-component-path>. Return the changed file and confirm the component renders while a pending agent reply is displayed.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README names only the thinking-state component; check the package docs at Aicss.dev for other components and their props before building on them.",
