GERT TUI Developer
This skill provides the UX standards and technical rules for the GERT terminal monitoring interface.
Core References
When modifying or adding new TUI components, use the read_file tool to consult the following repository documentation:
- docs/developers/monitoring_views.md: The exact information architecture, metrics definitions (like
sum abs misfit), and expected layouts for the various screens (Experiment, Iteration, Realization, Step).
- docs/developers/monitoring.md: Guidelines on how the asynchronous
Textual app should poll the REST API without blocking the UI thread.
- docs/developers/plotting.md: Rules for generating line charts and scatter heatmaps within the terminal using
textual-plot, including data caching and "small multiples" behavior.
Always consult these references before altering the visual layout or the data-fetching loops to avoid breaking the asynchronous reactivity of the UI.
