Agentation Setup

Set up the Agentation annotation toolbar in this project.

Requirements

React 18+
Zero dependencies beyond React

Steps

Check if already installed
- Look for agentation in package.json dependencies
- If not found, run npm install agentation (or pnpm/yarn based on lockfile)
Check if already configured
- Search for <Agentation or import { Agentation } in src/ or app/
- If found, report that Agentation is already set up and exit
Detect project type
- Next.js App Router: has app/layout.tsx or app/layout.js
- Next.js Pages Router: has pages/_app.tsx or pages/_app.js
- Vite + React: has vite.config.ts/js and src/main.tsx/jsx
- Create React App: has src/index.tsx/jsx or src/App.tsx/jsx
- Other React projects: look for main entry file

Add the component

For Next.js App Router, add to app/layout.tsx:

import { Agentation } from "agentation";

export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
  return (
    <html>
      <body>
        {children}
        {process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" && <Agentation />}
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

For Next.js Pages Router, add to pages/_app.tsx:

import { Agentation } from "agentation";

export default function App({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
      {process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" && <Agentation />}
    </>
  );
}

For Vite + React, add to src/main.tsx:

import { Agentation } from "agentation";

ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
    {import.meta.env.DEV && <Agentation />}
  </React.StrictMode>
);

For Create React App, add to src/index.tsx:

import { Agentation } from "agentation";

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
    {process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" && <Agentation />}
  </React.StrictMode>
);

For other React projects, add to the root component or main entry file:

import { Agentation } from "agentation";

// Add at the end of your root component
{process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" && <Agentation />}

Confirm setup
- Tell the user to run their dev server and look for the Agentation toolbar (floating button in bottom-right corner)
- The toolbar should appear in the bottom-right corner of the page

Notes

The environment check ensures Agentation only loads in development
For Vite projects, use import.meta.env.DEV instead of process.env.NODE_ENV
For Next.js, use process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"
No additional configuration needed — it works out of the box
Compatible with any React 18+ project
