How do I install tty7?

Run these in Claude Code: npx -y skills add l0ng-ai/tty7 --agent claude-code. Then prompt normally.

Does tty7 auto-invoke its skills?

Not yet. It is indexed on Flowy as a plain plugin. Request auto-invocation on its page and Flowy will route its skills for you as you prompt.

Yes. Flowy is free and open source, with nothing gated. You can read every skill in full before you install.

tty7

A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.

Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty

English · 简体中文

Why

Performance — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
Persistent sessions — quit or reboot; your shells and supported agent sessions keep running, no tmux
Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search
Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine
Native SSH — profiles, SFTP, port forwarding, and jump hosts
Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, git context
CLI + Skills — agents create panes, run commands, and inspect output

Install

Native builds for each platform on Releases:


macOS	`…-macos-arm64.dmg` · `…-x86_64.dmg`	drag into Applications
Windows	`…-setup.exe` · portable `….zip`
Linux	`…-x86_64.AppImage`	`chmod +x` and run — X11/Wayland libraries bundled

What's inside


Editor-grade input	ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · ⌃ R fuzzy history
Window	tabs & splits · ⌘ P palette · ⌘ F scrollback search · nine themes · IME
Agent-aware	per-pane detection (18 CLIs): status dot · notifications · branch + diff · resume after reboot · tray icon when input is needed
Remote workspaces	remote files, repos, changes, diffs, worktrees, tabs, and panes · reconnect from any client and continue where you left off
CLI + Skills	bundled `tty7` CLI · agent skill · pane/workspace control · real PTY commands · output, process, port, and agent status
SSH	native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets · SFTP panel · port forwarding · jump hosts · one-time, unprivileged `tty7-server` install

Terminal and keybinding reference: docs/features.md. The agent-facing CLI interface is documented in skills/tty7/SKILL.md.

FAQ

tty7 is a Claude Code plugin with 1 hand-picked skill for development work, indexed on Flowy. Install it with the command on its page. It includes tty7. Its skills do not fire on their own yet. Request auto-invocation to have Flowy route them as you prompt. Free and open source.

What is tty7?: A terminal workbench in pure Rust: shells, persistent sessions, SSH, coding agents. GPU-rendered on Zed's gpui, VT core from Alacritty.
How do I install tty7?: Run these in Claude Code: npx -y skills add l0ng-ai/tty7 --agent claude-code. Then prompt normally.
Does tty7 auto-invoke its skills?: Not yet. It is indexed on Flowy as a plain plugin. Request auto-invocation on its page and Flowy will route its skills for you as you prompt.
Is tty7 free?: Yes. Flowy is free and open source, with nothing gated. You can read every skill in full before you install.
