# /iblai-vibe-agent-search

> **First time here?** If `iblai.env` has no `ARCHITECTURE=`, run `/iblai-vibe-start` first (four questions; two minutes) — it decides single-org / multi-org / headless and who signs in, and every skill reads the answer.

Add an **Agent Search** page -- a searchable, filterable agent browser
with four sections: starred agents, featured agents, custom agents, and
all agents. Includes search input, category/subject/LLM/type filters,
star/favorite toggle, and "Create Agent" action.

> **Common setup (brand, conventions, env files, verification):** see [docs/skill-setup.md](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iblai/vibe/refs/heads/main/docs/skill-setup.md).

## Prerequisites

- Auth must be set up first (`/iblai-vibe-auth`)
- MCP server + skills configured (`@iblai/mcp` in `.mcp.json`)

## Step 1: Check Environment

Before proceeding, check for an `iblai.env` in the project root. Look for
`PLATFORM`, `DOMAIN`, and `TOKEN` variables. If the file does not exist or
is missing these variables, tell the user:
"You need an `iblai.env` with your platform configuration. Download the
template and fill in your values:
`curl -o iblai.env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iblai/vibe/refs/heads/main/iblai.env`"

## Step 2: Mount `AgentSearch`

`AgentSearch` does NOT use `AgentSettingsProvider`. It takes `tenantKey`,
`username`, and `onAgentClick` as direct props.

```tsx
// app/(app)/agents/page.tsx
"use client";

import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import { useRouter } from "next/navigation";
import { AgentSearch } from "@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next";

export default function AgentsPage() {
  const router = useRouter();
  const [tenantKey, setTenantKey] = useState("");
  const [username, setUsername] = useState<string | null>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    try {
      const raw = localStorage.getItem("userData");
      if (raw) {
        const parsed = JSON.parse(raw);
        setUsername(parsed.user_nicename ?? parsed.username ?? "");
      }
      const resolvedTenant =
        localStorage.getItem("app_tenant") ??
        (() => {
          try {
            return JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("current_tenant") ?? "{}").key;
          } catch { return undefined; }
        })() ??
        localStorage.getItem("tenant") ??
        "";
      setTenantKey(resolvedTenant);
    } catch {}
  }, []);

  if (!tenantKey) return null;

  return (
    <div className="flex h-full flex-col bg-white p-4">
      <AgentSearch
        tenantKey={tenantKey}
        username={username}
        onAgentClick={(agent) => {
          router.push(`/agents/${agent.unique_id}/settings`);
        }}
        onCreateAgent={() => {
          router.push("/agents/new");
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Limiting visible sections

By default all four sections render (starred, featured, custom, default).
Use the `include` prop to show only specific sections:

```tsx
<AgentSearch
  tenantKey={tenantKey}
  username={username}
  onAgentClick={handleClick}
  include={["featured", "default"]}
/>
```

## Step 3: Customize Labels (Optional)

```tsx
import { AgentSearch } from "@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next";

<AgentSearch
  tenantKey={tenantKey}
  username={username}
  onAgentClick={handleClick}
  labels={{
    sections: {
      starred: { title: "Your favorites" },
      featured: { title: "Recommended mentors" },
    },
  }}
/>;
```

## Step 4: Use MCP Tools for Customization

```
get_component_info("AgentSearch")
get_component_info("AgentCard")
get_hook_info("useAgentSearch")
```

## `<AgentSearch>` Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |

| `onAgentClick` | `(agent: AgentSearchResult) => void` | Yes | Called when an agent card is clicked |
| `onCreateAgent` | `() => void` | No | Called when "Create Agent" is clicked. Hides button if omitted |
| `onUnauthenticatedAction` | `() => void` | No | Called when an unauthenticated user tries a protected action |

| `mainTenantKey` | `string` | No | Main organization key (default: `"main"`) |
| `labels` | `DeepPartial<AgentSearchLabels>` | No | Override user-visible strings |
| `include` | `AgentSearchSection[]` | No | Sections to show (default: all) |
| `getLLMProviderName` | `(providerKey: string) => string` | No | Map provider key to display name in filters |

## Sub-Components

All importable from `@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next` for custom
layouts:

| Component | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `AgentCard` | Single agent card with avatar, name, description, date |
| `AgentSearchInput` | Search text field with icon |
| `AgentSearchFilters` | Category/subject/LLM/type filter dropdowns |
| `StarButton` | Favorite toggle star icon |
| `AgentEmptyState` | "No agents found" placeholder |

## Hooks

| Hook | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `useAgentSearch` | Core search hook wrapping the AI search API |
| `useAgentSearchWithPagination` | Search with load-more pagination |
| `useAgentStar` | Star/unstar mutation hooks |

## Related Exports

From `@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next`:

- `AGENT_SEARCH_LABELS` -- default label bundle for AgentSearch.
- `AGENT_PICKER_LABELS` -- default label bundle for a picker variant.
- `resolveAgentSearchLabels` -- deep-merge helper for labels.
- `formatDateString` -- default date formatter used by AgentCard.
- `AgentSearchResult` -- type for a single agent result.

## Step 5: Verify

Run `/iblai-vibe-ops-test` before telling the user the work is ready:

1. `pnpm build` -- must pass with zero errors
2. `pnpm test` -- vitest must pass
3. Start dev server and touch test:
   ```bash
   pnpm dev &
   npx playwright screenshot http://localhost:3000/agents /tmp/agent-search.png
   ```

## Important Notes

- **Redux store**: Must include `mentorReducer` and `mentorMiddleware`
- **`initializeDataLayer()`**: 5 args (v1.2+)
- **`@reduxjs/toolkit`**: Deduplicated via webpack aliases in `next.config.ts`
- **Peer deps**: `sonner` and `@iblai/iblai-web-mentor` must be installed
  (`pnpm add sonner @iblai/iblai-web-mentor`)
- **No AgentSettingsProvider**: Unlike the tab components, `AgentSearch`
  takes identity props directly. Do NOT wrap it in `AgentSettingsProvider`.
- **Starred agents**: Require an authenticated user (`username !== null`).
  When `username` is null, the starred section is hidden.
