Operate, configure, and extend the par-term GPU terminal emulator for your user. Covers editing config.yaml safely (hot-reload semantics), profiles, adding keybindings, installing and enabling plugins (land-disabled trust model), creating agent-authored commands over MCP or as files, attaching par-mux sessions and reading the agent roster, and verifying every change with the --ui-test harness. Use when asked to configure par-term, change a terminal setting or keybinding, install a plugin, add…

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

# par-term agent skill

You are operating par-term on the user's machine. This skill tells you where
the knobs are and how to prove a change worked. Every section names the doc
that owns the details — read it before doing anything the summary here does
not fully specify.

## Where things live

| Path | Contents |
|---|---|
| `~/.config/par-term/config.yaml` | Main config (Windows: `%APPDATA%\par-term\config.yaml`). `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is honored — the isolation trick below depends on it |
| `~/.config/par-term/commands/<id>.yaml` | Agent/user-authored commands (one `CustomActionConfig` per file) |
| `~/.config/par-term/plugins/<id>/` | Plugin directories (`manifest.json` + files) |
| `~/.config/par-term/agents/*.toml` | Custom ACP agent definitions |
| `~/.config/par-term/shaders/` | User-installed custom shaders |

Docs root: [docs/README.md](../../docs/README.md) in any checkout, or the
repo at <https://github.com/paulrobello/par-term>.

## Config editing

- `config.yaml` is **watched and hot-reloaded** (500 ms poll). An edit
  applies to the running app without a restart. Write atomically
  (temp file + rename) so the watcher only ever sees complete YAML.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paulrobello/par-term/par-term@sha256:2191c74d7b677d48

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.8746f77, 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.
