TUIs

This file captures Amolith-specific TUI setup choices only. Load golang-tui after this file for Bubble Tea, Lip Gloss, Bubbles, Elm Architecture, layout, keymap, terminal-compatibility, testing, and performance details.

TUIs are still command-line binaries. Read cli.md alongside this file for Cobra/Fang setup, command ergonomics, completions, and version-policy guidance.

Amolith-specific deltas

  • Use the Charm v2 stack through golang-tui unless the project has already made a different good choice.
  • Do not copy Taskfile examples from golang-tui; translate useful commands into mise.toml and keep the baseline tasks from mise.md.
  • Keep the CLI surface consistent with cli.md: stdlib for tiny tools, Cobra/Fang for user-facing commands, and one project-owned version policy when exact versions matter.
  • Use the regular race-enabled Go test task from mise.md. Add snapshot/golden update tasks only when the project actually has snapshot tests.
  • Terminal apps should use the same pure-Go static release-build shape as CLIs when their dependencies allow it. Drop static-only flags for terminal integrations that require CGO or native libraries.

If golang-tui and this skill conflict, keep golang-tui for library/API details and keep this skill for Amolith-specific tooling, task-runner, packaging, CLI, and release-build policy.
