One-function SDK for creating .uix files from AI-generated code.
npm install @dotuix/ai
For AI agents using tool calls, use
@dotuix/mcpinstead. This package is for AI-generated Node.js / TypeScript scripts that build.uixfiles programmatically.
import { createUIX } from "@dotuix/ai";
const path = await createUIX({
manifest: {
uix: "1.0",
id: "com.example.myapp",
name: "My App",
version: "1.0.0",
entry: "index.html",
mode: "window",
},
files: {
"index.html": `<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head><meta charset="UTF-8"><title>My App</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Hello from .uix</h1>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>`,
"app.js": `(async () => {
const manifest = await uix.manifest();
document.querySelector('h1').textContent = manifest.name;
})();`,
},
});
console.log(path); // /tmp/dotuix-xxx/my-app.uix — ready to open in the viewer
That's it. createUIX handles:
ai.generatedBy and ai.generatedAt in the manifestdotuix pack to produce the .uix filecreateUIX(options: CreateUIXOptions): Promise<string>
Returns the absolute path to the packed .uix file.
CreateUIXOptions| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
manifest | Record<string, unknown> | Yes | manifest.json content. The ai block is merged and stamped automatically. |
files | Record<string, string> | Yes | Source files as { "relative/path": "utf-8 content" }. Do not include manifest.json. |
output | string | No | Absolute path for the output .uix file. Defaults to a temp directory. |
generatedBy | string | No | Overrides ai.generatedBy. Defaults to "@dotuix/ai". |
ai provenance blockEvery .uix created via createUIX gets an ai block stamped in its
manifest.json:
{
"ai": {
"generatedBy": "@dotuix/ai",
"generatedAt": "2026-05-19T12:00:00Z"
}
}
Pass capabilities in your manifest to declare what the app does:
manifest: {
// ...
ai: {
capabilities: ["search", "chat"],
},
},
The final manifest will have generatedBy and generatedAt merged in.
