Use this system
Three ways to drop Terminal into your workflow.
Save the file for your tool — your agent then generates UI in Terminal, automatically.
CLAUDE.mdRepo root — Claude Code reads it automatically.
.cursor/rules/terminal.mdcProject rule — applied to every generation.
.windsurfrulesRepo root — Cascade reads it automatically.
.github/copilot-instructions.mdRepo-wide custom instructions for Copilot.
The system
Brand & Voice
Terminal is for tools that live in a developer's muscle memory: monospace everywhere, phosphor green, and information density turned up. It's keyboard-first, fast, and unapologetically technical.
Layout & Grid
Compact rows, fixed-width columns, and tight 0.25rem rhythm. Everything aligns
to a monospace grid so logs, diffs, and tables stay scannable.
Components
Buttons
Small, sharp radius.sm buttons; primary uses phosphor green with dark
onBrand text. Keyboard shortcuts are shown inline.
Logs & Tables
Monospace rows on color.surface.base with color.border.default dividers;
status uses state colors plus a glyph so meaning never relies on hue.
Accessibility
Dense but readable: light and muted text pass WCAG AA on the dark surfaces. Focus is a bright ring, every action has a shortcut, and motion is near-instant.
