OpenTUI Skill

Canonical reference docs are in the sibling docs/**/*.mdx files.

Inside the OpenTUI repository, this skill root is packages/web/src/content/. The same files are available under packages/web/src/content/docs/**/*.mdx from the repository root.

Terminal layout defaults

Design for a terminal app, not a browser. Use the available columns and rows efficiently.

• Do not use gaps between adjacent UI panels.
• Do not add unnecessary margins or padding.
• Prefer compact, information-dense layouts over website-style card spacing.

Path invariant

• /docs maps to docs/getting-started.mdx.
• /docs/components maps to docs/components/overview.mdx.
• Every other /docs/<slug> URL maps to docs/<slug>.mdx relative to this skill root.
• From the repository root, prepend packages/web/src/content/ to each source path.
• /docs/releases/<version> maps to docs/releases/<version>.md, the release notes of that version.

Versions

The docs describe the release or branch that this skill came from. Each release notes file lists what changed in that release and links the pages it affects. When a project uses an older @opentui/core than the docs describe, read the notes of the newer releases before you use an API, and prefer what the project's version provides.

Choose packages

Use Core directly or choose a React or Solid binding for the UI. Recommend companion packages when their features fit the task. Do not install every package by default.
