## Install

netscript ui:add prompt-input
```

## Usage and examples

The preview runs this JSX with the installed components. Import any composed primitives from your UI directory.

```tsx
import { useState } from 'preact/hooks';
import { PromptInput } from '@app/components/ui/prompt-input.tsx';

export function Example() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('standard');
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);
  const [notice, report] = useState('');
  return (<><div><PromptInput placeholder="Ask about an order…" onSubmit={(text) => report(text)} /></div><p role="status">{notice}</p></>);
}
```

## Props

Generated from native `deno doc --json --private` over the shipped implementation. Compound component props retain their owning interface; native attributes pass through where declared.

| `PromptInputProps` | `placeholder` | `string` | Yes |  |
| `PromptInputProps` | `onSubmit` | `(text: string, meta: PromptSubmitMeta) => void` | Yes |  |
| `PromptInputProps` | `models` | `ModelOption[]` | Yes |  |
| `PromptInputProps` | `model` | `string` | Yes |  |
| `PromptInputProps` | `onModelChange` | `(id: string) => void` | Yes |  |
| `PromptInputProps` | `grounding` | `boolean` | Yes |  |
| `PromptInputProps` | `onGroundingChange` | `(next: boolean) => void` | Yes |  |
| `PromptInputProps` | `research` | `boolean` | Yes |  |

| `PromptInputProps` | `busy` | `boolean` | Yes |  |
| `PromptInputProps` | `onStop` | `() => void` | Yes |  |
| `PromptInputProps` | `sendDisabled` | `boolean` | Yes |  |

## Keyboard

## Contract and compatibility

Accessibility pattern: native form, textarea and buttons

- Native DOM attributes pass through where the implementation accepts them.
- Utility compatibility anatomy is included for existing shipped helpers; it does not implement a design gap.

Design contract values marked planned are not implementation props. The props above describe what ships today.
