SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows you to programmatically control any terminal application, including TUI applications, CLI tools, and interactive programs, through HTTP APIs or CLI commands, eliminating manual terminal interaction.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Programmatic Control: Run and interact with terminal applications like vim, htop, nano, or less via code.
  • Automate CLI Tools: Script complex CLI workflows and integrate them into larger applications.
  • Interactive Program Management: Control interactive shells, REPLs, and AI CLIs like claude.
  • Data Retrieval: Capture and parse terminal output, including raw ANSI codes or cleaned text.

Quick Start

Use the term-wrapper CLI to create a bash session and then send the command 'ls -la' to it.
