bubbletea

bubbletea is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GGPrompts/TFE. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,097 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bubbletea, MIT.

A guide and collection of templates for building terminal user interfaces—text-based applications that run in a command window—with Go, Bubbletea, and Lipgloss.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or repair Go terminal apps with panels, accordions, mouse or keyboard controls, styling, and visual effects.
Why use it?
It provides patterns for handling layouts, text rendering, keyboard and mouse input, and common display problems.

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

bubbletea 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to bubbletea — 23 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Bubbletea TUI Development

Production-ready skill for building beautiful terminal user interfaces with Go, Bubbletea, and Lipgloss.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Creating new TUI applications with Go
  • Adding Bubbletea components to existing apps
  • Fixing layout/rendering issues (borders, alignment, overflow)
  • Implementing mouse/keyboard interactions
  • Building dual-pane or multi-panel layouts
  • Adding visual effects (metaballs, waves, rainbow text)
  • Troubleshooting TUI rendering problems

Core Principles

CRITICAL: Before implementing ANY layout, consult references/golden-rules.md for the 4 Golden Rules. These rules prevent the most common and frustrating TUI layout bugs.

The 4 Golden Rules (Summary)

  1. Always Account for Borders - Subtract 2 from height calculations BEFORE rendering panels
  2. Never Auto-Wrap in Bordered Panels - Always truncate text explicitly
  3. Match Mouse Detection to Layout - Use X coords for horizontal, Y coords for vertical
  4. Use Weights, Not Pixels - Proportional layouts scale perfectly

Full details and examples in references/golden-rules.md.

Creating New Projects

This project includes a production-ready template system. When this skill is bundled with a new project (via new_project.sh), use the existing template structure as the starting point.

Project Structure

All new projects follow this architecture:

your-app/
├── main.go              # Entry point (minimal, ~21 lines)
├── types.go             # Type definitions, structs, enums
├── model.go             # Model initialization & layout calculation
├── update.go            # Message dispatcher
├── update_keyboard.go   # Keyboard handling
├── update_mouse.go      # Mouse handling
├── view.go              # View rendering & layouts
├── styles.go            # Lipgloss style definitions
├── config.go            # Configuration management
└── .claude/skills/bubbletea/  # This skill (bundled)

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
