mulmoterminal-dirs

Colour and order the directories you work in

MulmoTerminal reads <project>/.mulmoterminal.json to style every terminal opened in that directory. Settings → Directory settings → Change here edits one directory's name, seven chrome colours, headerStatusTint, headerStatusColors, theme, colors, fontSize, fontFamily, orderPriority, icon, backgroundImage and worktreeEnv key by key, and moves a key between .mulmoterminal.json and .mulmoterminal.local.json. Everything else, and deciding a convention ACROSS directories, is this skill's job — point a user who only wants to change one of those keys in one place at that form.

Two files ship next to this one:

• palettes.json — colour presets grouped by vibe, for a user with nothing configured yet.
• dir-config.schema.json — the generated JSON Schema. "Schema" below matches it.

The shape of this conversation

The unit of work is the set of directories the user actually opens, not the current one. Someone who colour-codes projects is doing it so the grid is readable at a glance, and that only works if the colours are decided against each other.

So: gather → infer → propose the whole set → apply → look → adjust.

Ask with AskUserQuestion, one decision at a time, always with concrete options. A beginner should never have to invent a hex code.

1. Gather — the directories, and what they already say

Read ~/.mulmoterminal/config.json and take cwdPresets ([{ label, path }], most-recent first — the same list the New-terminal launcher offers). That is the population. Worktrees are not recorded into it, so it is the user's real projects rather than every task branch they have ever opened; an older entry that still names one is theirs to keep or remove, not this skill's to prune.

Then, for each of those paths:

curl --noproxy localhost -sG "http://localhost:${MULMOTERMINAL_PORT:-34567}/api/dir-config-detail" --data-urlencode "cwd=$path"

Let curl encode cwd (-G + --data-urlencode) rather than interpolating the path into the query: a raw path truncates at the first # or ? and mangles spaces.
