setup-terminal

setup-terminal is a command for coding agents from helloayushisharma/ghostty-claude-code-setup. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,142 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A macOS setup command that detects Ghostty, Warp, iTerm2 or Apple Terminal and configures the terminal and Zsh shell around it. Zsh is the command-line shell used to run text commands on macOS.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install command suggestions, syntax coloring and the lsd file-listing tool, configure terminal themes and key bindings, and add Vim-style editing shortcuts.
Why use it?
It avoids manually finding terminal settings, installing shell enhancements and editing configuration files. Existing configurations are backed up before changes are made.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

setup-terminal scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Terminal Setup Command

Set up a complete modern terminal experience on macOS. Auto-detects your terminal emulator.

What This Command Does

  1. Auto-detects terminal (Ghostty, Warp, iTerm2, or Apple Terminal)
  2. Backs up existing configs (creates .backup files)
  3. Installs packages:
    • lsd (colorized ls with icons) - direct binary download
    • zsh-autosuggestions (history suggestions)
    • zsh-syntax-highlighting (command coloring)
  4. Configures detected terminal:
    • Ghostty: Catppuccin theme, transparency, IDE keybindings
    • Warp: Custom theme, keybindings guide
    • iTerm2: Color scheme, key mappings
  5. Configures Zsh:
    • lsd aliases (ls, ll, la, lr, lt)
    • Colored grep, man pages
    • Autosuggestion keybindings
  6. Configures Vim:
    • IDE-like keybindings (Cmd+S, Cmd+Z, etc.)
    • Word/line navigation with Option/Cmd arrows
    • Line numbers, mouse support, system clipboard

Instructions

When the user runs this command:

Step 0: Auto-detect Terminal

# Detect which terminal is running
if [[ -n "$GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR" ]]; then
    DETECTED_TERMINAL="ghostty"
elif [[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "WarpTerminal" ]]; then
    DETECTED_TERMINAL="warp"
elif [[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "iTerm.app" ]]; then
    DETECTED_TERMINAL="iterm"
elif [[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "Apple_Terminal" ]]; then
    DETECTED_TERMINAL="terminal"
else
    DETECTED_TERMINAL="unknown"
fi

Inform the user which terminal was detected and ask for confirmation.

  1. Parse arguments to determine scope:

    • --ghostty-only: Only configure Ghostty
    • --zsh-only: Only configure zsh and install packages
    • --vim-only: Only configure vim
    • --all or no args: Do everything
  2. Create backups before modifying any file:

    # For each config file that exists, create a backup
    cp ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.backup.$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
    cp ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc.backup.$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
    cp "~/Library/Application Support/com.mitchellh.ghostty/config" \
       "~/Library/Application Support/com.mitchellh.ghostty/config.backup.$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)"

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
