> **Ground truth:** `@cometchat/chat-uikit-react@7`. Uses only components defined in `cometchat-react-v7-core`/`-components` (from live v7 docs). Status: **catalog-verified vs installed 7.1.0 (exports-only web-v7.json).** Fetch layout-specific props from the component's **`.md` twin** (`../cometchat-react-v7-core/references/docs-map.md`).

## Companion skills (read first)
- `cometchat-react-v7-core` — install, `init→login→render`, provider. This skill ASSUMES it.
- `cometchat-react-v7-components` — the component catalog this composes.

## Use this skill when
Deciding/<U+200B>wiring WHERE chat lives — and either (a) **growing the core surface into the whole combined chat app** (selector tabs ↔ messages ↔ details/thread/search side panel + incoming call) when the user asks for the full app, or (b) a scoped-down sidebar/split, popup/floating widget, or embedded panel. Triggers: "build a full chat app", "add users/groups/calls tabs and a side panel", "add chat as a sidebar", "full screen chat page", "chat popup widget", "embed chat in my dashboard". Note: a plain unscoped "add chat" defaults to the production-ready CORE surface (list ↔ message pane) in `cometchat-react-v7-core` — grow to the combined app below only on request.

## Prerequisites & install
Covered by core. No new package.

## Placement patterns (BAKED) — each composes core components
- **Core surface (THE DEFAULT for an unscoped "add chat") — production-ready, but lean.** Inside `CometChatErrorBoundary` → ONE `CometChatProvider`, a **two-column** layout: a `CometChatConversations` LIST ↔ a MESSAGE pane (`CometChatMessageHeader` + `CometChatMessageList` + `CometChatMessageComposer`), sized per `../cometchat-react-v7-core/references/layout.md`, with the **thread-replies panel** and the **in-chat scoped message search** wired by DEFAULT (opt-out only) and the global conversation search bar wired-or-hidden, collapsing to one pane on mobile. One small host state object coordinates {selected conversation, which side view (thread | in-chat-search | none)}. Complete and wired — NOT a bare demo — but NOT the whole app. See the "Core-surface recipe" below.
