terminal-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aretw0/agents-lab. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,126 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A terminal troubleshooting guide for pi, the command-line coding agent. It covers keyboard shortcuts, shell selection, and setup for common terminals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose terminal behavior and configure Windows Terminal, Ghostty, or related pi settings.
Why use it?
It helps when shortcuts such as Shift+Enter do not work or pi starts with the wrong shell.

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 A, and why

terminal-setup scanned grade A with 0 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 4d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Terminal Setup

Ajuda o usuario a configurar o terminal para funcionar corretamente com o pi.

Pi usa o Kitty keyboard protocol. Terminais que nao suportam esse protocolo tem limitacoes com Shift+Enter, Alt+Enter e outros atalhos.

Diagnostico

Se Shift+Enter nao insere nova linha, pergunte ao usuario qual terminal usa e aplique a config correspondente.

Se o pi parece usar o shell errado (ex: WSL em vez de Git Bash), veja a secao "Windows -- Shell Path".

Configuracoes por Terminal

Windows Terminal

O usuario precisa adicionar ao settings.json (Ctrl+Shift+,):

{
  "actions": [
    {
      "command": { "action": "sendInput", "input": "\u001b[13;2u" },
      "keys": "shift+enter"
    },
    {
      "command": { "action": "sendInput", "input": "\u001b[13;3u" },
      "keys": "alt+enter"
    }
  ]
}

Diga ao usuario para fechar e reabrir completamente o Windows Terminal apos salvar.

Ghostty

Adicionar ao config (~/.config/ghostty/config no Linux, ~/Library/Application Support/com.mitchellh.ghostty/config no macOS):

keybind = alt+backspace=text:\x1b\x7f

Se o usuario tem keybind = shift+enter=text:\n (legado do Claude Code), oriente a remover -- causa conflito com Ctrl+J no pi.

WezTerm

Criar ~/.wezterm.lua:

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local config = wezterm.config_builder()
config.enable_kitty_keyboard = true
return config

VS Code Terminal

Adicionar ao keybindings.json:

{
  "key": "shift+enter",
  "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
  "args": { "text": "\u001b[13;2u" },
  "when": "terminalFocus"
}

Paths do keybindings.json:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/keybindings.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Code/User/keybindings.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\keybindings.json

Terminais com suporte nativo

Kitty e iTerm2 funcionam sem configuracao adicional.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
