TUI Design System

Standardize Textual TUI typography and navigation by applying cohesive UI patterns for step indicators, labels, arrow key bindings, and Tab focus management. This ensures predictable keyboard behavior and visual consistency across all application screens.

Prevent design drift in Textual TUI applications by enforcing a structured design system that unifies visual language, theme alignment, chrome usage, and button styling. This reduces onboarding time and maintains consistent interactive elements.

This TUI design system supports custom themes by applying a monokai-inspired color palette for main UI elements and feedback. It standardizes container dimensions, surface backgrounds, and left-border accents for interactive elements.

Manage focus and keyboard navigation in Textual TUI screens using defined arrow key bindings and Tab behavior. The design system prescribes consistent checkbox styling and collision detection patterns to ensure robust focus management.

You can use this design system for complex Textual TUI creation flows because it defines collision detection and creation flow guardrails. These patterns ensure robust UX when designing or updating interactive Textual screens.

Textual TUI design system discovery requires a YAML frontmatter with name and description fields. It supports optional directories for scripts, references, and assets, defining a structured metadata schema for safety and project organization.
