Does it support terminal layouts?

Yes, it uses a Flexbox-based system (Yoga) for layouts, allowing for responsive positioning, spacing, and complex nested containers.

How are animations handled in the terminal?

OpenTUI includes a dedicated animation system that supports timeline-based transitions, looping, and standard easing functions for smooth UI effects.

How does the documentation cache work?

The skill maintains a local cache of component APIs and patterns that automatically refreshes every 7 days to ensure you have the latest implementation details.

Which frameworks does OpenTUI support?

It supports a Core imperative API, a React reconciler for familiar component patterns, and a Solid reconciler for fine-grained reactivity.

How do I start a new project with this skill?

You can use the command 'bunx create-tui@latest -t ', ensuring that flags like the template type come before the project name.
