Shadcn Rich Text Editor 1 Block

For AI Agents

Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Installs with a ReUI Pro or Ultimate license.

Best for: A bounded Frame that scrolls its page inside, with a word, character and read time footer and a Keyboard Shortcuts popover

When to use

Documents written and kept inside a product: launch briefs, wiki pages, contracts, specs and plans
Review on the text itself, through tracked suggestions to accept or reject or threaded comments
Shared writing with live teammates, or with an AI assistant whose edits arrive for review

When not to use

Slash commands, @ mentions and tables are needed inside the page: use the Wiki Page Editor block
Each edit must be a tracked suggestion that a reviewer accepts or rejects: use the Contract Redlines block
The navigation layout around your pages, with no document editing in it: use the App Shell blocks
A top bar with a title, avatars and actions above a page you already have: use the Navbar blocks
A strip of formatting or alignment controls alone, with no document under it: use the Button Group component

Agent notes

DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT_META and COLLABORATORS in data.ts are the demo launch brief, its title and the avatar stack to replace
onSave receives the JSON once typing pauses for SAVE_DELAY_MS; without it the Saved label is a timer and nothing persists
The root Frame scrolls the page inside itself, so its host needs a bounded height
Each page.tsx wraps the root in an h-svh or min-h-svh column; inside an app shell drop it and size the root through className
Every schema starts from createRichTextExtensions in rich-text-extensions.ts; extend that list and keep it stable, as useEditor compares it by identity
Document typography is RICH_TEXT_PROSE in rich-text-content.tsx, built on theme tokens; restyle headings, lists, code and links there
