Authoring interactive shell scripts often leads to inconsistent user experiences, scattered prompt logic, and brittle UI code. gum provides a unified, scriptable UI layer for prompts, menus, spinners, and styled output that runs reliably in a TTY.
Install and start using charm-gum by running opsx init to enable interactive gum prompts in your shell scripts.

Interactive shell prompts are added by executing a unified CLI UI layer that renders menus, inputs, and spinners directly within a TTY. This approach replaces scattered prompt logic with consistent, scriptable UI components for terminal workflows.
Yes, the gum CLI utility enforces a strict TTY guard to ensure interactive UI elements render correctly. This requirement prevents scripts from attempting to display menus or spinners in non-interactive environments where user input is unavailable.
Building a terminal onboarding wizard is best achieved by chaining interactive subcommands like choose, input, and spin to guide users through setup steps. This method provides a structured, human-guided workflow for configuring tools or releasing software.
Yes, you can use styled output and spinners in shell release toolchains by utilizing subcommands like spin, style, and format. These components present execution progress and formatted text clearly across automated terminal-driven release processes.
Interactive shell prompts fail outside a TTY session because the underlying UI layer applies a strict TTY guard. This guard blocks execution in piped or automated environments to prevent errors from attempting to render interactive menus without a terminal.
Available subcommands for building CLI wizards include input, write, choose, filter, confirm, file, spin, style, format, join, pager, table, and log. These provide comprehensive coverage for rendering interactive prompts and formatted outputs.
