Why

The Human+ contract says every interactive surface must broadcast what changed and who changed it, support undo, and surface presence — so that coaching, history, and multi-actor awareness compose for free across the whole kit. If each of a dozen fancy-* packages reinvented those primitives, they'd never interoperate. fancy-auto-common is the shared low-level plumbing every Fancy package builds on: one canonical AgentActivity event shape, one presence model, one undo-stack contract, and a handful of effect helpers — so a bridge in one package and a presence layer in another speak the exact same language.

What

A small, framework-light TypeScript package of shared primitives. It defines the AgentActivity event types + emitter that mutations broadcast (so presence, undo, and coaching layers can subscribe), presence helpers for tracking who is on a surface, the undo-stack primitives that agent-integrations' per-agent agent_undo/agent_redo build on, and effect helpers for the common subscribe/cleanup patterns. It renders nothing — it's the connective tissue that lets the rest of the suite stay consistent. Most apps never install it directly: it arrives transitively as a dependency of react-fancy, agent-integrations, and the surface packages.

How

You rarely reach for this one by hand — it comes in transitively with the packages that use it. If you're authoring a Fancy-compatible surface and want it to participate in the same activity/presence/undo fabric, install it with npm install @particle-academy/fancy-auto-common and emit the canonical events on mutation: emitAgentActivity({ surface: 'sheet', action: 'set-cell', target, actor }). Subscribers (presence overlays, undo stacks, coaching) then light up automatically because everyone shares this vocabulary.

API surface

This package renders no UI surface — it is the hooks / APIs / server-side tooling described above.

Renders no UI. A supporting package with no rendered components, so there are no live demos — reach for the README + Changelog for the full reference, and the Issues link to file feedback.

@particle-academy/fancy-auto-common

Shared headless primitives for autonomous UX drivers — the common core behind agent-integrations (agent-driven UX) and fancy-flow's FlowRunnerUx (flow-driven UX).

Zero runtime dependencies. The core entry is React-free; the optional /react entry adds a subscription hook.

npm install @particle-academy/fancy-auto-common

What's in it

Activity bus — emitActivity / onActivity / readActivityHistory. The event type, AutoActivityEvent, carries a source: "agent" | "flow" discriminant and is a back-compat superset of agent-integrations' historical AgentActivityEvent (same flat agentId / agentName / agentColor fields), so presence cursors, highlights, and screen-presence badges work for agents and flow runs alike.
Effect-dispatch registry — createEffectDispatcher(effects, { actor }). A typed map of named, host-provided UX effects (toast, navigate, confirm, …). Agent tools and flow nodes both reduce to "invoke effect X with params"; every dispatch optionally broadcasts an activity event so presence / logging / undo compose for free.
Per-actor undo stack — pushUndoEntry / undoOne / redoOne, keyed by actor id so multiple agents or flow runs rewind independently.
Presence types — PresenceParticipant, PresenceCursor.

Core (React-free)

import { createEffectDispatcher, onActivity } from "@particle-academy/fancy-auto-common";

const dispatch = createEffectDispatcher(
  { toast: ({ title }) => showToast(title) },
  { actor: { id: "run-1", source: "flow" } },
);

onActivity((e) => console.log(e.action), { source: "flow" });
await dispatch.dispatch("toast", { title: "Hello from a flow" }); // emits ux_toast activity

React

import { useActivity } from "@particle-academy/fancy-auto-common/react";

const { events, latest } = useActivity({ source: "flow" });
