4 use cases

  • Show a live agent status in a React app

    Render a robot head that changes face and motion as the agent moves between states.

    View prompt
    In the React project at <project path>, run `npm install robot-heads` and render a RobotHead whose state follows the agent's status, mapping each status to one of the nine README states. Expected output: a component file that type-checks against React 18 or newer. Verify the prop names against the installed package types before finishing, because the README props block is not fully legible.

  • Use small robot avatars in a chat or user list

    Drop a compact robot head into list rows using the antenna-free small size option.

    View prompt
    In the React project at <project path>, install robot-heads and render a list of agent avatars using RobotHead with antenna={false} and a small size. Expected output: a list component where each avatar keeps its state and has an aria-label. Verify that no parent element in the list uses overflow: hidden around the avatar.

  • Review all nine robot states before choosing a design

    Look through the playground to pick a shape and state set before writing any code.

    View prompt
    Open https://robot-heads.fayaz.workers.dev and list the four shapes and nine states from the robot-heads README. Expected output: a table that maps each agent event in <product description> to one state and one shape. Verify each state name matches the README exactly.

  • Change the TV head by building from the repo source

    Clone the repo, run the playground on its source, and rebuild the library after edits.

    View prompt
    Clone https://github.com/fayazara/robot-heads, run `pnpm install`, then `pnpm run typecheck` and `pnpm run build`. Expected output: a dist/ folder with the built library and no type errors. Verify that the build succeeds before reporting any changes to the TV head under src/tv/.

How to use Robot Heads

  1. Check you have what it needs: A React project on React 18 or newer, since React is a peer dependency; Node.js with npm, or pnpm if you plan to work on the library source; A way to map your agent's status values to the nine states the library supports.
  2. Open fayazara/robot-heads on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run npm install robot-heads in your React project.
  4. Import RobotHead from 'Robot Heads' in the component that shows agent status.
  5. Map your agent's status values to the nine states in the README: idle, thinking, searching, listening, speaking, working, happy, error, sleeping.
  6. Pass the current state to RobotHead as shown in the README Quick start, and set a size that fits your layout.

These steps come from our top use case, Show a live agent status in a React app, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
