Agent Pages

Agent Pages provide a built-in SUI (Simple User Interface) framework for building web interfaces for AI agents. Pages are automatically loaded from the /agent/template/ directory for global templates and /assistants/<name>/pages/ for individual assistant pages.

Directory Structure

<app>/
├── agent/
│   └── template/              # Global template directory
│       ├── __document.html    # Document template

Route Mapping

File Path	Public URL
`/agent/template/pages/login/login.html`	`/agents/login`
`/assistants/demo/pages/index/index.html`	`/agents/demo/index`
`/assistants/demo/pages/chat/chat.html`	`/agents/demo/chat`

Quick Start

1. Create Document Template

/agent/template/__document.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>{{ $global.title }}</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
    <link rel="icon" href="/agents/assets/images/favicon.png" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">{{ __page }}</div>
  </body>
</html>

2. Create Global Data

/agent/template/__data.json:

{
  "title": "AI Agent",
  "version": "1.0.0"
}

3. Create a Page

/assistants/my-assistant/pages/index/index.html:

<div id="chat-page" class="page">
  <h1>{{ title }}</h1>
  <div class="messages" s:for="{{ messages }}" s:for-item="msg">
    <div class="message {{ msg.role }}">{{ msg.content }}</div>
  </div>
  <input
    type="text"
    s:on-keypress="handleInput"
    placeholder="Type a message..."
  />
</div>

/assistants/my-assistant/pages/index/index.json:

{
  "title": "Chat",
  "messages": []
}

/assistants/my-assistant/pages/index/index.css:

.page {
  max-width: 800px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 24px;
}

.messages {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  gap: 12px;
}

.message.user {
  align-self: flex-end;
  background: #007bff;
  color: white;
}

.message.assistant {
  align-self: flex-start;
  background: #f0f0f0;
}

4. Add Backend Script

/assistants/my-assistant/pages/index/index.backend.ts:

function BeforeRender(request: Request): Record<string, any> {
  const chatId = request.query.chat_id;
  return {
    messages: chatId ? Process("scripts.chat.GetHistory", chatId) : [],
    user: request.authorized?.user_id,
  };
}

function ApiGetData(request: Request): any {
  const { id } = request.payload;
  return Process("models.data.Find", id, {});
}

5. Add Frontend Script

/assistants/my-assistant/pages/index/index.ts:

function index(component: HTMLElement) {
  this.root = component;
  this.store = new __sui_store(component);

  this.handleClick = async (event: Event) => {
    const data = await this.backend.ApiGetData({ id: 1 });
    console.log(data);
  };
}

6. Build and Run

# Build pages
yao sui build agent

# Or watch for changes
yao sui watch agent

# Start server
yao start

Template Syntax

Data Binding

<!-- Simple binding -->
<h1>{{ title }}</h1>

<!-- Object properties -->
<p>{{ user.name }}</p>

Components

Pages can use other pages as components:

<import s:as="Header" s:from="/shared/header" />

<div class="page">
  <header title="My Page" />

      title: "Query Results", // Sidebar title
      query: { id: "123" }, // Passed as $query in page
    },
  },
});

// Open in new tab
ctx.Send({
