Guidelines for React components in the OpenTUI terminal UI.

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

# React + OpenTUI Terminal UI

## Framework

The UI renders React components to the terminal with
[OpenTUI](https://github.com/anomalyco/opentui) (`@opentui/react` +
`@opentui/core`) — **not Ink**. Primitives are OpenTUI elements (`<box>`,
`<text>`, `<scrollbox>`, …), lowercase intrinsic elements.

## Component patterns

- Functional components with hooks only.
- JSX uses the automatic runtime: `tsconfig.json` sets `"jsx": "react-jsx"` and
  `"jsxImportSource": "@opentui/react"`. **Do not** `import React` just for JSX.
- Components live in `src/ui/` and `src/ui/components/`, kebab-case files.
- The root is mounted via `createRoot(renderer)` / `root.render(...)` in
  `src/index.ts`; `createCliRenderer` from `@opentui/core` owns the terminal.

## Key surfaces

| Area | File |
|------|------|
| Main chat shell + keyboard + slash menu | `src/ui/app.tsx` |
| Explicit local-mode startup / onboarding screen | `src/ui/startup.tsx` |
| Markdown / transcript rendering | `src/ui/markdown.tsx` |
| Modals (MCP, schedule, agents, plan) | `src/ui/*-modal.tsx`, `src/ui/agents-modal.tsx` |
| Composer input | `src/ui/startup-input.ts`, `src/ui/components/` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shelra/shelracode/.cursor/rules/react-ink-components.mdc@sha256:fc8c1fe4237bab72

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.3f8e122, 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.
