agent-terminal

Terminal and TUI automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to create a terminal session, run a command in a terminal, automate an interactive CLI or TUI, wait for terminal output, capture a TUI screenshot, export a terminal recording, or test a CLI workflow with reviewable artifacts.

Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A lean, executable CLI skill body with strong actionability and a clearly sequenced workflow including prerequisite and teardown checkpoints. Main gaps are mild command repetition and the absence of an explicit failure-recovery loop.

Suggestions

Add a short error-recovery note (e.g. if `doctor --json` reports missing dependencies, install them and re-run) to turn the prerequisite check into a true feedback loop.

De-duplicate the command listings: keep the runnable examples in Common Patterns and trim the overlap between the Core Workflow code block and the Essential Commands reference.

Consider collapsing the three Common Patterns into one parameterized template plus a short variant table to reduce repetition while preserving copy-paste usability.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Code-forward and free of concept explanations Claude already knows, but the command set is repeated across the Core Workflow block, Essential Commands, and Common Patterns, so some tokens could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Fully executable, copy-paste-ready bash throughout, with three concrete Common Patterns (bootstrap, drive a TUI, export artifacts) covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear numbered 1–8 Core Workflow with validation checkpoints (doctor --json prerequisite, wait-for-state observation, explicit destroy), but no explicit error-recovery feedback loop (e.g. what to do if doctor fails).

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized single-file skill (Core Workflow, Essential Commands, Common Patterns, Anti-Patterns) with no bundle files and no clear need for external references; good structure though above the 50-line simple-skill threshold.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, third-person description that states concrete capabilities and gives an explicit 'Use when' clause with natural trigger terms. Minimal conflict risk and no padding.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'create a terminal session, run a command in a terminal, automate an interactive CLI or TUI, wait for terminal output, capture a TUI screenshot, export a terminal recording, or test a CLI workflow' — giving comprehensive coverage of the CLI's capabilities.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers 'what' ('Terminal and TUI automation CLI for AI agents') and 'when' ('Use when the user needs to create a terminal session...') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Natural phrases a user would say ('terminal session', 'run a command', 'interactive CLI', 'TUI', 'TUI screenshot', 'terminal recording', 'CLI workflow') are covered with synonym variation; the domain has no meaningful file extensions to include.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (isolated, inspectable terminal/TUI sessions with renderer-backed proof artifacts) with triggers unlikely to fire for unrelated skills.
