Behavior rules for CLIs and TUIs: exit codes, stdout vs stderr, TTY detection, NO_COLOR, prompts, destructive-action confirmation, signal recovery.
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 UX How a terminal program should behave. Two different things live here and their rules diverge: - **CLI**: a command that runs, prints, and exits. No persistent screen. State is communicated by printing what changed. - **TUI**: a full-screen interactive app that owns the terminal until it quits. A grid that redraws. Every rule below says which it applies to. A CLI rule does not automatically hold for a TUI, and the sources differ: `clig.dev`, the 12-factor CLI writeup, GNU, and POSIX are CLI-first, while the TUI material comes from ratatui, Bubble Tea, Textual, and accessibility practitioners. How solid a rule is: - **convention**: documented in a widely-adopted guide or standard. - **house style**: one project's stated choice. Reasonable, not universal. - unmarked: reasoning by analogy from graphical UI, with nothing behind it. Weigh it lower. Terminal accessibility gets its own file, `references/accessibility.md`. There is no WCAG equivalent for terminals, so nothing there is a conformance floor. Read it anyway: it holds the one rule most likely to make a TUI unusable for someone. --- ## 1. Output Streams …

How to install
mdr add uwuclxdy/agenticat/terminal-ux@sha256:3c1c3735a0ae9f2dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.5, 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.
