terminal-replica SKILL.md skillA

terminal-replica from huytieu/cog-second-brain is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add huytieu/cog-second-brain/terminal-replica@git:20261023.65f43f1

Pins git:20261023.65f43f1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Reproduce YOUR real terminal and CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI) faithfully in any generated graphic, GIF, or video frame. Use whenever an asset shows a terminal, an agent transcript, a statusline, or a CLI banner. Capture your actual theme, font, prompt and statusline first, and never invent a generic "hacker terminal" look.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Terminal replica

Terminal-like graphics must match the real tool and the real setup of the person who ships the asset. A generic green-on-black "hacker terminal" reads as fake. This skill is a method for capturing your own setup, plus a render recipe and a worked example.

## Method

1. Capture the ground truth. Take a fresh screenshot of your real terminal running the tool. Sample background, foreground and accent colors from it with an eyedropper or `PIL.Image.getpixel`. A live screenshot beats any spec in this file.
2. Record these five facts about your setup:
   - Emulator (Terminal.app, iTerm2, Warp, the VS Code integrated terminal, Ghostty).
   - Font family and size. Check the emulator's settings. VS Code on macOS defaults to Menlo 12.
   - Theme: background, default foreground, and the 16 ANSI colors.
   - Shell prompt shape (for example `user@host ~ %` for default macOS zsh, or your powerline or starship layout).
   - Statusline format, if your agent has a custom one.
3. Use your own session logs for transcript shapes. Claude Code stores them at `~/.claude/projects/<project-slug>/*.jsonl`. The assistant and tool-use turns show exactly what text appears.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add huytieu/cog-second-brain/terminal-replica@sha256:d2e9a72ae4a80289

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.65f43f1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
