Usage

• This tool is primarily for personal use and not intended for general public consumption. The following are also personal notes.

• Motivation for creation
  • My personal open-source repositories have grown. Maintenance has become increasingly burdensome due to cognitive load.
  • Hence, a TUI. I’m building my own TUI to simplify maintenance.
  • Small-scale TUIs can be easily created with Claude’s free chat version, so I’m going with that approach.
• How to Use
  • config
    • Upon first launch, config.toml will be generated in the local config directory, and its full path will be displayed.
      • Use this as a hint to manually edit config.toml.
      • It will not function without editing.
  • help
    • Once launched, press the ? key to display help.
• PoC
  • Regarding the overall purpose of this repository, it’s a Proof of Concept (PoC).
  • It serves to demonstrate that small-scale TUIs like this can be created with Claude’s free chat version.
  • Therefore, it aims to encourage others to build their own for personal use!
