## What it is
termcn is a collection of ready-to-use, customizable terminal UI components for React, built on Ink and OpenTUI and distributed via the shadcn registry format. It provides themed components for layout, forms, navigation, charts, and AI chat interfaces with zero-config setup.

## Use cases
- build beautiful terminal UIs in React
- add charts and gauges to a CLI app
- create a terminal chat interface for an AI agent
- add forms and inputs to a TUI app
- theme a terminal app with Catppuccin or Gruvbox
- build a command palette or sidebar in the terminal
- add progress bars and spinners to a CLI tool

## When to choose
- you are building a React-based terminal app with Ink or OpenTUI
- you want shadcn/ui-style copy-paste components for the terminal
- you need themed, composable TUI components without manual styling
- you want terminal charts, forms, or AI chat components out of the box

## When to avoid
- you are building a web or desktop GUI rather than a terminal app
- you do not use React or the shadcn CLI workflow
- you need a non-JavaScript terminal UI toolkit
