tui

tui is a skill for Claude Code from MadAppGang/magus. It costs 52 tokens per session (5,199 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for building and checking colourful terminal user interfaces with OpenTUI, using Bun and TypeScript. It supports React-style JSX or OpenTUI's core building blocks, plus Yoga for arranging screen elements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build, review or debug Bun/TypeScript terminal apps with dense dashboards, graphs, badges, colour meters and other visual elements.
Why use it?
It helps avoid plain, hard-to-read terminal output and catches visual problems by building a colour screenshot for review. It also provides guidance for choosing meters, charts, sparklines and other compact displays.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

tui 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (assets/runtime/opentui-env.d.ts, assets/runtime/shutdown.test.ts, assets/runtime/shutdown.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 208 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenTUI TUI

Build Bun/TypeScript terminal UIs that look like btop, gonzo, posting and lazygit — colourful, dense, graph-and-badge-heavy — not like cat output. OpenTUI hands you a real layout engine (Yoga flexbox) and a React renderer, and no meter, chart, badge or colour maths, so under-baked is the default outcome — which the contract below and the shipped assets/ prevent. You cannot judge a look from source: build → screenshot in colour → look → fix.

The aesthetic this skill is for

The bar is more colour, more graphs, less text; the failure mode is not ugliness but under-baking — printing CPU 78% where the row could carry a meter, a percentage and a sparkline. Reach for the rich form mechanically.

You have… Default to… Not…
a bounded value (a percentage — pct is 0–100, never 0–1) a gradient meter — one colour per cell across the fill a bare number, or a flat one-colour bar
a time series / recent history a sparkline (▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█) the latest number alone
a category distribution a bar chart or stacked bar, coloured per category a list of name: count lines
counts over time × category a heat row per category, brightness = magnitude a table of numbers
a discrete status / level / method a badge — dark ink on a saturated fill plain coloured text alone
genuine free narrative (logs, detail) text — and only inside a log or detail panel text as the main surface

Three rules keep it from tipping into noise. Colour is semantic, never decorative — one colour means one thing app-wide; red as "error" here and "selected" there kills glanceability. Make gradients smooth — one blended colour per column at the widget's real width, never four ░▒▓█ glyphs sharing one. Dim the chrome, saturate the signal.

Negative control: if your first screenshot shows a single-colour bar or bare numbers, you failed — as is a non-log panel over about half prose or numerals. Then run that count a second time over the WHOLE frame, not per panel (graphics body rows vs text rows across the capture): every panel can pass the table while the screen still reads as prose — one build's first wide capture was 28 of 38 rows text, every panel compliant. Under half, add a graphics panel.

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.

tui is a skill published in the GitHub repository MadAppGang/magus (9 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 5,199 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
