ABI Superpower: TUI

Exposes the interactive TUI and dashboard as a superpower. There is no /abi-superpower-tui binary or slash command — map actions to the real CLI paths below (or the run-tui / dashboard-smoke drivers).

Actions

repl

Launch the agent REPL (slash commands live here):

./target/debug/abi agent tui

dashboard

Show the diagnostics dashboard (abi tui is an alias of abi dashboard):

./target/debug/abi dashboard --pane system
./target/debug/abi dashboard --pane plugins --once --json
./target/debug/abi tui --compact --pane scheduler

Interactive pty smoke (tmux driver):

.agents/skills/run-tui/tui.sh              # drives `abi dashboard`
.agents/skills/run-tui/tui.sh tui          # drives `abi tui`

Headless one-shot smoke:

.agents/skills/dashboard-smoke/dashboard.sh

pane

Select the initial diagnostics pane with --pane (system, plugins, storage/wdbx, scheduler, memory, or 1–5). In the interactive refresh loop, switch panes with hotkeys / Tab — there is no separate pane --focus CLI.

./target/debug/abi dashboard --list-panes
./target/debug/abi dashboard --pane memory

Slash Commands (in abi agent tui REPL)

• /help - Show the REPL command surface
• /model <id> - Select a known model or a bounded free-form model ID
• /profile - Report the adaptive profile/router state
• /sea [on|off|status|toggle] - Change session-local SEA preference only
• /status - Report session, model, SEA, and live/store boundaries
• /context - Report the bounded local context summary
• /history - Print in-session prompt history
• /reset - Clear in-session history and turn count
• /features - Print locally available feature disclosures
• /clear - Clear the terminal display
• /quit - Exit (/exit and /q are aliases)

The REPL does not currently implement /open, /diff, /commit, /learn, /save, or /load. Evidence-augmented completion is the separate abi complete --learn path.

Implementation

Maps to:

• crates/abi-cli/src/repl.rs - REPL commands, session state, and line editor
• crates/abi-cli/src/dashboard/ - Split-pane dashboard (abi tui / abi dashboard)
• crates/abi-cli/src/terminal.rs - Raw-mode guard and incremental key decoder
• .agents/skills/run-tui/tui.sh - Interactive pty driver
• .agents/skills/dashboard-smoke/dashboard.sh - Headless one-shot smoke

Runtime Boundary

The Rust abi-cli build always includes these surfaces. The dashboard refresh loop and raw editor require a Unix terminal; --once, --json, and redirected REPL input remain deterministic non-interactive paths. Dashboard panes support bounded keyboard navigation and primary-button SGR mouse selection; capture is disabled by a drop guard before terminal modes are restored.
