Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned joelhooks/pi-tools at 6aa19f084f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The pi-tui-design skill provides tools and components for creating terminal user interfaces (TUIs) within AI agents. It simplifies the process of building interactive, text-based applications that run directly in the command line. This allows for more engaging and efficient interactions compared to simple text output.

When to use it

  • Building interactive dashboards: Create a TUI dashboard to display real-time data or system status within an AI agent.
  • Creating CLI tools: Develop command-line interface (CLI) tools with menus, forms, and other interactive elements for agents to perform tasks.
  • Presenting complex information: Structure and present large amounts of text-based data in a more organized and user-friendly manner.
  • Developing agent interfaces: Design custom interfaces for AI agents that allow users to interact directly within the terminal.

Key capabilities

  • TUI component library
  • Layout management tools
  • Event handling system
  • Terminal UI rendering engine

Example prompts

  • "Create a TUI with a list of available actions."
  • "Build a form for collecting user input in the terminal."
  • "Design a dashboard to display CPU usage and memory consumption."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires familiarity with basic command-line concepts. While it simplifies TUI creation, understanding terminal UI design principles will help you create effective and usable interfaces.
