charm-tui

charm-tui is a skill for Claude Code from xobotyi/cc-foundry. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,958 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

Guidance for building and reviewing terminal user interfaces in Go with Charmbracelet v2. A terminal user interface is an interactive program that runs in a command-line window.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating Bubble Tea applications, terminal components, styled layouts, forms, Markdown views, command-line entry points, and tests.
Why use it?
It helps avoid mixing the older v1 libraries with v2 and explains the framework's state and rendering rules.

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 B, and why

charm-tui scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 229 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The Charm v2 stack is a different library from v1 behind the same names. Three biases decide most calls:

  • The module source outranks a remembered API shape. Training data is saturated with v1, and a v1 idiom either fails to compile against v2 or misbehaves silently. Read go.mod, then the module itself, before reaching for a signature.
  • The View declares the terminal. Every terminal feature is a field set on every render, never a program option and never a command.
  • Update is the only place state changes. A command does its work on another goroutine and returns a message; Update applies it.

Modules

  • charm.land/<name>/v2 — bubbletea, bubbles, lipgloss, huh, glamour, fang, log, wish.
  • github.com/charmbracelet/... — ultraviolet, colorprofile, and every x/... package (x/ansi, x/term, x/editor, x/exp/golden, x/exp/teatest/v2, x/exp/charmtone).
  • github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea and its siblings resolve to v1 — never import them. charm.land/x/ansi and charm.land/ultraviolet do not resolve at all.
  • The build error module declares its path as charm.land/... but was required as github.com/charmbracelet/... names a stale import. Fix the import, then run go mod tidy.

The Program

  • View() returns tea.View, a struct. Build it with tea.NewView(content). The interface is Init() Cmd, Update(Msg) (Model, Cmd), View() View.
  • Terminal features are tea.View fieldsAltScreen, MouseMode, Cursor, WindowTitle, ReportFocus, DisableBracketedPasteMode, BackgroundColor, ForegroundColor, ProgressBar, KeyboardEnhancements, OnMouse. No tea.WithAltScreen() option and no tea.EnterAltScreen command exists.
  • Set every field on every return path of View(). An early return that omits v.AltScreen = true leaves the alternate screen for that frame.
  • Doc comments inside the v2.0.x source still show the beta signature Init() (Model, Cmd) — that form does not compile. Init returns one value.
  • View() runs after every Update and on the frame ticker. Keep it free of I/O.
  • Handle ctrl+c explicitly. Raw mode delivers it as an ordinary key press, and nothing quits the program without a tea.Quit.

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.

charm-tui is a skill published in the GitHub repository xobotyi/cc-foundry (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 3,958 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (strips warnings and disclaimers). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
