It is a *terminal*, full stop: PTY panes, tabs and splits, themes, keymaps, plugins, profiles. The AI is woven into the shell itself through one idea: > 💡 **Everything is a terminal command.** No settings UI, no side apps — you type > `@`-commands at your normal prompt and edit TOML files. ```text ❯ @ai find the 5 biggest files under src and sort them ❯ press Enter to run (or edit) ❯ du -a src | sort -rn | head -5 ❯ @coder "add a --json flag to the export command" # a full agentic run ❯ @flow review "the auth module" # a multi-step workflow ❯ @loop "make the tests pass" --check "cargo test" # iterate until verified ❯ @flow implement --bg "migrate configs to TOML" # …in the background ❯ @job # monitor runs + logs ❯ @profile switch work # live profile switch ``` ## 🌟 Highlights - 🦀 **A real terminal, built from nothing** — a from-scratch VT engine, PTY, GPU renderer, TOML/JSON parsers, regex engine, BM25 ranker, HTTP transport. The dependency list is empty, and CI keeps it that way. - ✂️ **Native-feel editing** — `⌥/⌘ arrows` jump by word / to the line ends, `⇧`+arrows **select on the command line** (a light band, your syntax colors stay on top), typing replaces the selection, `Esc` cancels, `⌘C` copies. All of it is a zsh plugin (`lineedit`), not hardcoded terminal magic. - 🧘 **Calm, stable rendering** — steady block cursor (`bar`/`underline` one config line away), ghost-free damage-tracked frames, burst-settled presents, an idle event loop that uses near-zero CPU. - 🔋 **31 builtin plugins, all data** — prompt, autosuggest, syntax highlighting, completion, history, git (100+ aliases), docker, kubernetes, extract, jump, sudo, clipboard (OSC 52), … Each is a `plugin.toml` + optional shell snippet; disable any with `@plugin disable `. - 🎨 **19 live themes** — `@theme ` restyles the window, the prompt, syntax colors and `ls` colors from any shell, instantly. - 👤 **Profiles that mean it** — per-profile config overlay + saved workspace (tabs, splits, per-pane cwd/zoom, styled scrollback). `@profile switch work` from any shell; the window follows live. - 🛡️ **AI with guardrails** — provider-agnostic streaming engine, weighted multi-model pools, agents/skills/prompts as Markdown, flows as TOML, BM25 memory, MCP, sub-agents — behind a command guard (allow/deny/confirm) and secret redaction on every egress path. AI is **off** until you declare a model.
