What it does

Provides design knowledge for building professional terminal user interfaces across four major ecosystems: Go with Bubble Tea and Lipgloss for component-based TUIs, Rust with Ratatui for high-performance terminal apps, Python with Textual for rich TUI applications, and TypeScript/Node.js with Ink for React-style terminal rendering. Covers terminal color systems (true color, 256-color, ANSI), layout composition patterns, keybinding conventions, focus management, and framework-specific component design.

When NOT to use

  • Web UI design — use a frontend-design skill instead
  • When you need a specific framework without TUI layout conventions (the skill adds opinionated design patterns)
  • Simple CLI argument parsing without interactive UI
