ai-sparkwrite-editor

Tell the editor what you want. It writes it, right there in the page.
An AI-first rich-text editor SDK on Tiptap for React and Vue: prose, tables, code, task lists, formulas and diagrams are produced by the model and land in the document as real, editable blocks.

Features

AI, in the document

• Composer dock — type a request under the editor and the answer streams into the page as headings, lists, tables and code blocks. Keep, undo, retry, or refine the same span; one undo step. Toolbar ✨, ⌘J or /ai.
• Whole-document actions — continue writing, summarize, outline, suggest a title, extract action items, fix grammar everywhere, translate. One click each; the document goes to the model as Markdown, so its structure survives.
• Selection menu — improve, shorten, expand, simplify, change tone, explain, translate, turn into a table or a list. Works after Select All.
• Ghost text — pause while typing and the next words appear in grey; Tab keeps them. Space on an empty line asks AI.
• Formulas and diagrams from a sentence — the Katex and Mermaid dialogs write the source and render it live.
• Your backend, your model — the frontend configures one endpoint. It receives the conversation as JSON and answers with text or a stream; which provider and model reply is your business. Direct OpenAI/Anthropic calls and a custom generate remain available. Answers are parsed through the editor schema: nothing is pasted, nothing unknown gets in.

Everything else a document needs

• 50+ extensions: headings, lists, tables, code blocks with language detection, images with cropping and captions, dividers, columns, callouts, notices, details, Katex, Mermaid, Excalidraw, video, iframe, attachments, emoji, mentions, table of contents, search & replace, Word/PDF/Markdown import and export.
• Paste from Word, Google Docs, Excel and code editors keeps its shape.
• 16 languages, loaded on demand, with matching CJK, Devanagari and Bengali fonts.
• Record and replay a writing session as timestamped steps.
• One import per framework, RichTextKit for everything at once; bundlers tree-shake the rest, so you only ship the features you reference.
• Prefixed Tailwind classes and a handful of CSS variables, so it fits your design system.

Quick start

One import per framework. RichTextKit is the whole editor as one extension; RichTextKitToolbar and RichTextKitMenus render the toolbar, the AI composer dock, the bubble menus and the slash menu for whatever is registered. Keep every @tiptap/* package on one version (^3.29).

React

pnpm add ai-sparkwrite-editor @tiptap/react @tiptap/pm

import { EditorContent, useEditor } from '@tiptap/react';
import {
  RichTextKit,
  RichTextKitMenus,
  RichTextKitToolbar,
  RichTextProvider,
} from 'ai-sparkwrite-editor';
import 'ai-sparkwrite-editor/style.css';

export function Editor() {
  const editor = useEditor({
    // One URL on your backend; it picks the provider and model.
    extensions: [RichTextKit.configure({ ai: { endpoint: '/api/ai' } })],
    content: '<p>Hello</p>',
    immediatelyRender: false,
  });

  if (!editor) return null;

  return (
    <RichTextProvider editor={editor}>
      <RichTextKitToolbar />
      <EditorContent editor={editor} />
      <RichTextKitMenus />
    </RichTextProvider>
  );
}

Vue

pnpm add ai-sparkwrite-editor @tiptap/vue-3 @tiptap/pm lucide-vue-next

<script setup lang="ts">
import { EditorContent, useEditor } from '@tiptap/vue-3';
import {
  RichTextKit,
  RichTextKitMenus,
  RichTextKitToolbar,
  RichTextProvider,
} from 'ai-sparkwrite-editor/vue';
import 'ai-sparkwrite-editor/style.css';

const editor = useEditor({
  extensions: [RichTextKit.configure({ ai: { endpoint: '/api/ai' } })],
  content: '<p>Hello</p>',
});
</script>

<template>
  <RichTextProvider :editor="editor">
    <RichTextKitToolbar />
    <EditorContent :editor="editor" />
    <RichTextKitMenus />
  </RichTextProvider>
</template>

Shape the kit with one option per feature: false leaves it out (button and menus go with it), an object configures it (image: { upload }, codeBlock: { defaultLanguage: 'ts' }), and features that need a key or a callback switch on when given one (imageGif: { GIPHY_API_KEY }, mention: { suggestion }, excalidraw: {}). Prefer to assemble it yourself? The same import has every extension and control — Bold and RichTextBold, Table and RichTextTable — and Getting Started shows both routes; every kit option is on the RichTextKit page.

Your /api/ai receives { messages, systemPrompt, stream } and answers { text } or a stream of data: {"text"} events — the contract and a ten-line server are in the AI docs.

Documentation

Everything is on the docs site: ludejun.github.io/ai-sparkwrite-editor — getting started, AI, every feature and its import path, frameworks, customization, bundle size. Try it first in the live playground, which answers with a demo model so every AI flow works without a key.

Using with AI coding agents

The repository ships a skill for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and friends — integration rules, the AI backend contract, upload and image-deletion recipes, a debugging checklist — and the npm package carries a copy at node_modules/ai-sparkwrite-editor/skills/ai-sparkwrite-editor/SKILL.md.

npx skills add ludejun/ai-sparkwrite-editor

The docs are also published as llms.txt and llms-full.txt; the AI Coding Agents page explains what else to hand an agent.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm build:lib      # the playground imports the built lib/
pnpm playground     # http://localhost:8000, React ⇄ Vue switch in the header
pnpm type-check && pnpm lint
pnpm docs:dev

Origin

The code base started as a fork of reactjs-tiptap-editor by hunghg255 and its contributors and has since been reworked extensively. Thank you to them and to the Tiptap and shadcn/ui projects. MIT licensed.
