Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
The terminal-ui skill enables AI agents to render and interact with command-line interfaces directly within chat environments. It transforms raw text-based commands into a visual, interactive terminal experience for users.
When to use it
- Debugging code or scripts by viewing real-time output in a familiar console format.
- Executing system commands without leaving the conversational interface.
- Visualizing logs, error messages, or structured data streams more effectively than plain text.
- Collaborating on terminal-based workflows where visual fidelity of the CLI matters.
Key capabilities
- Renders command-line interfaces (CLI) within the chat window.
- Supports interactive input and output simulation.
- Provides a native-like terminal experience for AI-generated commands.
Example prompts
- "Run
ls -laand show me the output in a terminal view." - "Execute this Python script and display the result as if I were in a shell."
- "Format these logs using a terminal UI so I can read them better."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your AI agent has permission to execute or simulate terminal commands, as some environments may block direct CLI access. This skill is best used when the user specifically needs the visual context of a command-line interface rather than just the textual result.
