name	create-tui
description	Scaffold a terminal interface for lazar — a small client project under workspace/<name>/ that consumes `lazar -p --output-format stream-json` and renders the events. Default stack: TypeScript + readline. Optional: Go + Bubble Tea, Python + Textual, or anything else the user wants. Use when the user asks for a "TUI", "chat UI", "interface" for lazar that's richer than `lazar-chat.sh`.

create-tui

Scaffold a terminal interface (TUI) that talks to lazar. The output is a small project under $LAZAR_HOME/workspace/<name>/. The TUI is a client — it spawns lazar -p --output-format stream-json as a subprocess and renders the JSONL events. Lazar itself is the agent; the TUI is just the mouth and ears.

This skill is for richer experiences than scripts/lazar-chat.sh (a 30-line shell loop with glow piping). If the user just wants to chat with markdown rendering, point them there first and skip this skill.

When to use

• The user asks for a "TUI", "chat interface", "interactive UI" for lazar.
• They want streaming, markdown, scrollback, keyboard shortcuts, or split panes.
• They mention bubble tea, textual, ink, blessed, ratatui, or any TUI framework.

Always ask first

Before generating anything, ask the user three things:

1. Stack — see Stack Choice table below. Default is TypeScript + readline.
2. Customization — input style, tool display, loader, banner.
3. Project name — for the directory and any banner art.

Don't pre-commit to a stack. Different users have very different terminal preferences.
