ai-coding-agents-terminal-ui

ai-coding-agents-terminal-ui is a skill for Codex from vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public. It costs 45 tokens per session (3,973 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing coding agents that run in a terminal, including their prompts, messages, history, shortcuts, and background-task views.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape or review a terminal user interface, including a REPL (an interactive command prompt), message rendering, command queues, notifications, and task navigation.
Why use it?
It helps make terminal interactions predictable when users are entering commands, reviewing long histories, interrupting work, or switching between tasks.

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

ai-coding-agents-terminal-ui 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 11d 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.

AI Coding Agents Terminal UI

Use this skill to design or review the terminal-first user experience of a coding-agent runtime: REPL structure, prompt input, message rendering, command queues, virtualized history, interrupt behavior, notifications, and background-task navigation.

This skill is for terminal interaction patterns, not generic desktop app UX.

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.
