Interactive widgets

The Seepient TUI renders structured terminal widgets instead of raw text walls. When an agent queries data, reports status, or requests structured inputs, it uses specialized React/Ink components.

1. Tables

When displaying structured data (such as benchmark numbers, file listings, or database rows), the agent invokes table components:

Outdated Dependencies

Package	Current	Latest	Type	Breaking?
typescript	5.4.2	5.9.3	dev	Yes
chalk	4.1.2	5.6.2	dependency	Yes (ESM)
vitest	1.2.0	4.1.4	dev	No

Tables automatically adapt to your terminal width, truncating long strings with ellipses and aligning numbers to the right.

2. Interactive forms and selectors

When an operation requires user choices, the TUI displays keyboard-navigable selection dialogs:

• Single choice lists: Use the Up and Down arrow keys to navigate and press Enter to pick an option.
• Multi-select checklists: Use Space to toggle items on or off, then press Enter to confirm.
• Text input prompts: Prompts for sensitive input (such as passwords) mask input characters with asterisks.

3. Spinners and task progress

During multi-step background actions, the TUI shows a collapsible task tree:

⠿ Running test suite (vitest run)

✔ src/domain/agent-loop.test.ts (14 tests passed, 180ms)

✔ src/capabilities/tools/shell.test.ts (8 tests passed, 92ms)

⠋ src/capabilities/execution/fs-commit.test.ts (running...)

Completed steps collapse to green checkmarks, keeping terminal screen space clear for active output.

4. Syntax-highlighted code blocks

Code blocks render with syntax highlighting matching your terminal color profile. Long code blocks include line numbering and copy shortcuts:

// Example: Registering an effectful tool
export const customDeployTool = {
  name: "deploy_service",
  description: "Deploys the built service container to Cloud Run",
  parameters: {
    serviceName: { type: "string", required: true },
    imageTag: { type: "string", required: true }
  }
};
