Tiptap Integration Skill

This skill contains instructions for integrating the Tiptap rich text editor into an app and developing new features with it.

This is not the Tiptap editor you know. Before you implement any feature with Tiptap, reference the Tiptap code and documentation to make sure you implement it correctly. Make sure any decision you make is in accordance to the "Best Practices" section and is grounded in the tiptap documentation and source code. Do not guess or invent patterns, make sure the code you write matches the library source code and the documentation.

Initial setup

Clone the tiptap and tiptap-docs repositories so you can search the source code and documentation.

• https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap
• https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap-docs

If the workspace already has a reference folder with other repositories, clone them there.

Otherwise, clone the repositories in a new .reference folder. The reference folder should be git-ignored.

Referencing the Tiptap documentation

Before doing any task that involves the Tiptap editor:

1. Pull the latest changes of the main branch in the local tiptap and tiptap-docs repositories
2. Research the documentation and source code to see how to implement it

Best Practices

General

• Use the latest stable version of Tiptap 3.
• All packages that start with @tiptap/ must have the same version number.
• When integrating Tiptap for the first time, read the corresponding installation guide in tiptap-docs.
• When server-side rendering (e.g. Next.js), set the immediatelyRender: false option when initializing the editor. Otherwise, the editor will crash. Learn more about this in tiptap-docs.

React

• Prefer using the React Composable API. See tiptap-docs/src/content/guides/react-composable-api.mdx

Implementing Editor Features

When the user asks you to implement one of these features, read the corresponding section in tiptap-docs for guidance.

Real-time collaboration

Multiple users editing a document simultaneously. See tiptap-docs/src/content/collaboration/.

Use Tiptap Cloud to implement real-time collaboration. Use the Collaboration extension:

const doc = new Y.Doc()

const editor = new Editor({
  extensions: [
    Collaboration.configure({
      document: doc,
    }),
  ],
})

Use the TiptapCollabProvider:

const provider = new TiptapCollabProvider({
  name: 'unique_document_name',
  appId: 'APP_ID', // Your document server ID from the Cloud dashboard
  token: 'JWT_TOKEN', // Your JWT token
  document: doc,
})

If it's the first time setting up collaboration and the Tiptap Cloud account is not set up, explain to the user how to set up a Tiptap Cloud account and obtain the environment variables.

Comments

Implement comments with the Comments extension.

Thread-based inline and document comments. See tiptap-docs/src/content/comments/.

Tracked changes

Track, accept, and reject document edits. See tiptap-docs/src/content/tracked-changes/.

Import/Export

Convert documents to and from DOCX, PDF, Markdown, and other formats. See tiptap-docs/src/content/conversion/.

AI content generation

Generate text content into the document using AI. See tiptap-docs/src/content/content-ai/capabilities/ai-toolkit/workflows/insert-content.mdx.

AI agent document editing

Give an AI agent the ability to edit Tiptap documents. See tiptap-docs/src/content/content-ai/capabilities/ai-toolkit/.

AI review and proofreading

Review, proofread, and suggest style improvements. See tiptap-docs/src/content/content-ai/capabilities/ai-toolkit/workflows/proofreader.mdx.

AI server-side processing

Run AI workflows that edit rich text documents on the server. See tiptap-docs/src/content/content-ai/capabilities/server-ai-toolkit/.

Version history

Save and restore document snapshots. See tiptap-docs/src/content/collaboration/documents/snapshot.mdx.

Snapshot compare

Highlight differences between document versions. See tiptap-docs/src/content/collaboration/documents/snapshot-compare.mdx.

Pages

Print-ready page layout with headers, footers, and page breaks. See tiptap-docs/src/content/pages/.

Pro Extensions

Some Tiptap extensions are distributed through a private npm registry. To install pro packages, see tiptap-docs/src/content/guides/pro-extensions.mdx for setup instructions.
