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.
