How do I handle asynchronous tasks in a Ruby TUI?

The skill teaches the Bubble Tea 'Commands' pattern, which allows you to run operations like network requests or file I/O and return messages to the update loop.

Can I use this for simple shell scripts without a full TUI framework?

Yes, the skill covers the Gum gem, which provides simple, single-purpose prompts and styled output for quick scripting needs.

Does this skill support mouse events in the terminal?

Yes, it includes guidance for the bubblezone gem, which enables mouse event tracking and interaction zones within your Ruby terminal applications.
