Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

The GAIA terminal UI (gaia-tui) — how to build it, launch it with a real pty, drive it through the loopback control API, choose a local or cloud model provider, and read its logs. Use when running, testing, debugging, or documenting the TUI, when a preflight row blocks a launch, when driving the TUI from a script or assistant, or when a TUI question would otherwise be answered by guessing at the Go source.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'gaia-tui-manual' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'gaia-tui-manual' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named gaia-tui-manual already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/amd/gaia' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3ec6ceb6429b99c4af63250689239478a4b06c34' -- '.claude/skills/gaia-tui-manual' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/gaia-tui-manual' ~/.agents/skills/'gaia-tui-manual' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'gaia-tui-manual' ~/.claude/skills/'gaia-tui-manual' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
