Textual-related questions often stall because Textual’s UI model (Apps, Screens, widgets, CSS, events, and reactive state) is more structured than basic console output, so you need guidance before digging through APIs or trial-and-error scripts.
Use the textual skill when the user asks about building a terminal UI using Textual or mentions importing textual, so you can follow Textual API and architecture guidance before writing code.

Build a responsive terminal UI in Python using the Textual framework by structuring your application around the App and Screen classes, applying CSS-driven layouts, and managing reactive state for dynamic updates.
Reactive state in a Textual TUI works through reactive attributes that trigger watch, compute, and validate methods, automatically updating widgets and handling async workers or timers for non-blocking interfaces.
The best way to handle events and keybindings in a Textual app is by implementing handler methods and using the @on decorator for custom messages, ensuring interactive behavior responds to user input.
You can use CSS styling for widget layout in a terminal UI by defining alignment, dock, and grid configurations in .tcss files to structure common widgets like Input, DataTable, and TabbedContent.
Textual supports non-blocking async operations by integrating async workers and timers within the reactive state patterns, allowing your terminal UI to execute background tasks without freezing the interface.
