What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you design terminal user interfaces that stay readable, responsive, and safe, even when handling focus, resizing, and terminal cleanup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Screen-mode and rendering guidance: Choose alternate-screen, main-screen, or split-footer correctly to prevent log clobbering and preserve user context.
  • Keyboard-first interaction patterns: Establish predictable focus, routing, shortcuts, forms, and help overlays that users can reliably operate.
  • Reliability and terminal restoration: Ensure renderer cleanup on success, errors, and interrupts to avoid leaving the terminal in a broken state.
  • Practical UI construction rules: Apply layout regions, borders usage, scroll behavior, code/diff views, tables degradation, and semantic theming for consistent UX.

Quick Start

Describe the OpenTUI TUI you want to build (screens, inputs, key flows, and whether it should run alongside existing CLI output) and ask for a focused implementation plan that includes rendering mode selection and safe cleanup paths.
