For AI Agents

Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.

Best for: A list of 3 browser view toggles that show a check when on, 2 of them on at load

When to use

Right click actions on a file, row or canvas area, such as copy, paste, share and delete
Toggles and single choice settings changed from a right click, such as visible bars or the theme
Long command lists split into headed sections, key hints or a nested flyout of extra tools

When not to use

A setting where picking one option clears the others: use the Context Menu Radio Items example
Actions that must stay discoverable, opened from a visible button like a row's more icon: use the Dropdown Menu component
A persistent bar of File, Edit and View lists across the top of an app window: use the Menubar component
Site links in a header bar whose panels open on hover or click: use the Navigation Menu component

Agent notes

Base items keep their own state from defaultChecked, so nothing reads them; pass checked and onCheckedChange as the radix twin does
Each dashed ContextMenuTrigger stands in for your target; wrap the row or card in it, or pass it through render on base and asChild on radix
ContextMenuLabel throws on the base twin outside a ContextMenuGroup or ContextMenuRadioGroup; the radix one renders anywhere
