## What it is
A Claude Code plugin that spawns interactive terminal UI canvases in tmux split panes, giving the AI agent its own external display. It is a proof-of-concept TUI toolkit for rendering interfaces like emails, calendars, and booking flows.

## Use cases
- give Claude Code a dedicated external monitor
- spawn interactive terminal UIs for emails and calendars
- render flight booking interfaces alongside an AI coding agent
- run Claude Code skills that display live TUI canvases in tmux panes

## When to choose
- you use Claude Code and want richer visual output than plain text
- you already run tmux and Bun
- you want to experiment with agent-driven terminal interfaces

## When to avoid
- you need a supported, production-ready tool
- you don't use Claude Code, tmux, or Bun
- you need a GUI or web-based interface

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: experimental
- function: terminal-ui, cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: claude-code, tmux, tui, proof-of-concept, command-line, ai-agents
