SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenShell TUI development projects require a clear, shared guide to architecture, navigation patterns, theming, and workflow. This skill provides a centralized reference for building, testing, and extending the TUI component set.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Roadmap-style architecture overview covering gateway-sandboxes-logs hierarchy, theming, and UX conventions.
  • Reusable UI components and interaction patterns for dashboards, detail views, and log viewers.
  • Use Case: A developer adds a new screen to the TUI and follows consistent patterns for navigation, keyboard shortcuts, and styling.

Quick Start

Install dependencies and run the TUI locally with mise run term to explore the dashboard.
