The TUI

elanous's TUI is a 3-pane layout (skills / preview / chat) — a real file manager, not a chat with a sidebar. Plugins can remap what lives in each pane.

Attachments

Drop a path inline in your question; the dashboard tokenizes, extracts, and attaches it automatically:

Extension	Kind	Extractor	Byte cap
.txt	text	UTF-8 readFile	20 KB
.md	md	UTF-8 readFile	20 KB
.pdf	pdf	pdf-parse v2 (PDFParse.getText)	20 KB
.docx	docx	mammoth.extractRawText	20 KB
.xlsx	xlsx	xlsx → all sheets, first 100 rows ea	20 KB
.png	image	sharp resize (1568×1568, JPEG ladder)	3 MB encoded
.jpg .jpeg	image	same	3 MB encoded
.gif	image	same (static frame)	3 MB encoded
.webp	image	same	3 MB encoded

Text-kind attachments are prepended as labeled code-fenced sections ahead of your question. Images ride as multimodal ContentBlocks when the routed model is vision-capable (see isLikelyVisionModel()).

Paths accepted: absolute (/path/to/f.pdf), home-relative (~/doc.pdf), ./ or ../, and quoted ("name with space.pdf"). URLs are skipped. Symlinks resolve to their canonical target (two links → one attachment).

Slash commands

Command	Alias	Purpose
/run-skill <name> [args]	/rs, /run	Execute a SKILL.md
/provider	/p	List providers + availability
/summarize-skill	/ss, /sum	AI summary of the focused skill
/context	/ctx	Table of attached files
/context clear [big]		Drop all attachments (or ≥100KB ones)
/context drop <id>		Drop a single attachment
/paste	/v	Attach clipboard image (macOS)
/sync	/s	Enter sync mode
/plugin list|activate|deactivate|reload	/p, /plugins	Manage plugins
/clear	/cls	Clear log pane (keeps attachments)
/help	/?	Keybinding overlay
/quit	/q, /exit	Exit

Argument autocomplete

After typing a command name and a space, Tab / Up / Down navigate argument suggestions. Enter on an empty current arg accepts the selection and submits. Prefix filter is live: /plugin activate s + Tab completes to sync without scrolling.

• /plugin <subcmd> → list, activate, deactivate, reload
• /plugin activate <name> → every discovered plugin (built-in + user)
• /context drop <id> → attachment ids currently in the registry
• /run-skill <name> → skill directory names under ~/.claude/skills/

Log pane clipboard copy

With the log pane focused (backtick ` or Tab-cycle):

Key / mouse	Action
y	Copy the most recent output block to the system clipboard
Y	Copy the entire log buffer
Right-click inside log pane	Copy the block under the mouse cursor

Blocks are delimited by the blank separator lines the dashboard inserts between prompts / responses. ANSI codes are stripped before writing so the pasted text is plain.

Terminal compatibility

ElanousAgent uses SGR mouse reporting (CSI ?1000h + ?1006h). Most modern terminals forward mouse events to the app when this is enabled.

Terminal	Mouse / right-click	Notes
Ghostty (macOS, Linux)	Works out of the box	SGR mouse is forwarded. If a terminal-level context menu ever intercepts, hold Option to bypass it for that click.
Kitty	Works out of the box	Best experience — native CSI-u keyboard protocol supported too.
WezTerm	Works; may need enable_kitty_keyboard = true	For the Ctrl+Shift+V paste chord in particular.
iTerm2	Works after enabling "Applications in terminal may access clipboard" + "Report mouse events"	Defaults are usually fine for normal right-click.
Apple Terminal.app	Right-click opens macOS menu	Fall back to the y / Y keystrokes. Clipboard write via pbcopy still works.
VS Code integrated terminal	Right-click copies selection by default	Use y / Y or set "terminal.integrated.rightClickBehavior" to default.

If right-click doesn't feel right on your terminal, y / Y keystrokes do the same thing and work everywhere.

Anything that doesn't start with / goes to the LLM Q&A path. Inline file paths are tokenized before submit so you can mix them freely:
