AI Analysis

●●SolidNiche GemWizardryShip It

Libghostty state parsing lets AI agents see cursor and styles, not just text.

Strengths
  • Parses exact terminal state including styles and cursor via libghostty.
  • Agent-specific primitives like peek and wait enable reliable automation.
  • Written in Zig with full CI pipeline and pre-built binaries.
Weaknesses
  • Tmux is entrenched with decades of plugins and community support.
  • Ghostty may add native multiplexing, making this standalone tool redundant.
Target Audience

Terminal power users, AI agent developers
