Markstream Install

Markstream Install

Integrate the appropriate Markstream package into an existing application without installing unnecessary optional dependencies or weakening its security defaults.

Read references/scenarios.md before choosing packages or peers.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• add streaming Markdown rendering to an AI chat or document interface;
• install Markstream in Vue, Nuxt, React, Next.js, Svelte, Angular, or Vue 2;
• repair a broken Markstream installation, missing styles, or SSR failure;
• replace another Markdown renderer with Markstream;
• choose between static, smooth-streaming, and externally parsed AST input.

Workflow

1. Inspect the host application

Before changing dependencies, inspect:

• the framework and version in package.json;
• the package manager lockfile;
• whether the application uses SSR;
• reset, Tailwind, UnoCSS, or design-system styles;
• required optional features: code highlighting, enhanced File/Diff surfaces, Monaco, Mermaid, D2, infographic blocks, or KaTeX.

Do not assume the Vue package is correct merely because the source repository is named markstream-vue. Select the framework-specific package from the scenario table.

2. Install the smallest dependency set

Install exactly one framework package. Add optional peers only when the requested UI uses their feature.

Examples:

npm install markstream-vue
npm install markstream-react
npm install markstream-svelte
