Tui Tabs by full-stack-skills — Agent Skill

Name: Tui Tabs
Author: full-stack-skills

Purpose

Produce an ASCII Text UI (TUI) representation of Tabs.
Always output layout attributes (top/left/width/height, spacing, colors, typography, zIndex).
Always output Pencil MCP–ready specs and a batch_design plan (≤25 operations per call).

Source Documentation

This skill intentionally does not embed external documentation links. If you need a canonical reference, use your team's component documentation or design system source.

Rendering Rules (Component-Level)

Follow the shared rules from tui-front-ui:

No TAB characters.
Do not exceed widthCols.
Provide a header row, body area, and minimal hotkeys if interactive.
disabled=true must suppress interaction hints.
loading=true must show a stable placeholder.
error!=null must be printed in a single line footer (truncated to width).

Component Mapping (Actionable)

Canonical props for tabs:

tabs: Array<{ id: string, label: string, disabled?: boolean }>
activeId: string (or modelValue)
scrollable?: boolean (if many tabs, truncate labels and show …)

Rendering rules:

Active tab uses brackets: [Profile] while inactive uses spaces: Settings.
Disabled tab uses parentheses: (Billing). Interaction hints:
<left>/<right> switch tab\n+- <enter> activate\n+- <esc> back
