name	opentui
description	Build terminal UIs with OpenTUI. Covers the core API, React and Solid bindings, components, layout, keyboard input, plugins, and testing.

OpenTUI Skill

Canonical reference docs are authored once in sibling docs/**/*.mdx files.

Inside the OpenTUI repo, this skill root lives at packages/web/src/content/, so the same files are also visible at packages/web/src/content/docs/**/*.mdx.

Path invariant

• /docs/<slug> maps to docs/<slug>.mdx relative to this skill root
• in the repo, that same slug maps to packages/web/src/content/docs/<slug>.mdx

Reading order by area

• Getting started: /docs/getting-started
• Core: /docs/core-concepts/renderer
• React: /docs/bindings/react
• Solid: /docs/bindings/solid
• Components: /docs/components/text, /docs/components/input
• Layout: /docs/core-concepts/layout
• Keyboard: /docs/core-concepts/keyboard
• Plugins: /docs/plugins/slots
• Reference: /docs/reference/env-vars

Quick routing by intent

Intent(s)	Start here
getting-started, installation, quickstart, intro	docs/getting-started.mdx
core, renderer, terminal, scrollback, lifecycle	docs/core-concepts/renderer.mdx
layout, flexbox, yoga, positioning	docs/core-concepts/layout.mdx
keyboard, input, keybindings, paste, focus	docs/core-concepts/keyboard.mdx
react, jsx, hooks, animation, testing	docs/bindings/react.mdx
solid, signals, jsx, hooks, animation, testing	docs/bindings/solid.mdx
plugins, plugin, slots, registry, extensions	docs/plugins/slots.mdx
text, styling, content, selection	docs/components/text.mdx
input, form, editing, focus	docs/components/input.mdx
env, environment, configuration, flags	docs/reference/env-vars.mdx

For concrete component requests, jump straight to docs/components/<name>.mdx after the relevant entry page. For plugin implementation details, narrow from docs/plugins/slots.mdx into docs/plugins/core.mdx, docs/plugins/react.mdx, or docs/plugins/solid.mdx.

Current skill entry pages

• docs/getting-started.mdx
• docs/core-concepts/renderer.mdx
• docs/core-concepts/layout.mdx
• docs/core-concepts/keyboard.mdx
• docs/bindings/react.mdx
• docs/bindings/solid.mdx
• docs/plugins/slots.mdx
• docs/components/text.mdx
• docs/components/input.mdx
• docs/reference/env-vars.mdx

Working rules

• Prefer the current entry pages first, then read narrower docs in the same section.
• Read the sibling docs/**/*.mdx files directly instead of copying prose into this file.
• Use stable /docs/... URLs when cross-referencing docs.
