@robota-sdk/agent-interface/tui

Terminal UI interaction contracts for the Robota SDK. A command can declare what the terminal UI should do when the user runs it without arguments: show a picker, run a wizard, or ask for confirmation. This subpath declares the shape of that declaration, so command code can describe the interaction without depending on the UI that renders it.

This subpath contains type declarations only: no runtime functions, no React, no Ink, and no dependencies.

Usage

import type {
  ITuiPickerInteraction,
  TAnyTuiCommandInteraction,
} from '@robota-sdk/agent-interface/tui';
 
const languagePicker: ITuiPickerInteraction = {
  onMissingArgs: 'picker',
  getItems: () => [
    { label: 'English', value: 'en' },
    { label: 'Korean', value: 'ko', description: 'ko-KR' },
  ],
};
 
function prompt(interaction: TAnyTuiCommandInteraction): string {
  // A discriminated union: narrow on the `onMissingArgs` literal.
  return interaction.onMissingArgs === 'picker'
    ? `Choose one of ${interaction.getItems().length} options`
    : interaction.message;
}

API

ExportDescription
TOnMissingArgsAction'picker' | 'wizard' | 'confirm'
ITuiCommandInteractionBase shape: an optional onMissingArgs action
ITuiPickerInteractionPicker variant: getItems() returns ITuiPickerItem[]
ITuiPickerItemOne picker row: label, value, optional description
ITuiConfirmInteractionConfirm variant: a message to confirm
TAnyTuiCommandInteractionUnion of the picker and confirm variants

'wizard' is part of the action vocabulary but has no dedicated variant; a renderer may leave it unimplemented.

Where it sits

  • Depends on nothing, and must never gain runtime dependencies.
  • Rendering belongs to the terminal UI, @robota-sdk/agent-ui-terminal, which re-exports these types from its own entry point.
