Terminus CLI

Overview

A coding agent that runs in the terminal, spawns subagents for parallel work, and keeps context in SQLite across sessions. Dual UI: React/Ink over Unix socket, or a classic Rich fallback. Skills load from project folders; terminus.md holds per-repo instructions.

Highlights

• Coordinator spawns subagents, monitors workers, and collects results
• React/Ink frontend over Unix socket IPC, plus a --classic Rich UI
• Context compaction keeps long sessions inside model limits
• Skills from .skills/ with YAML frontmatter; project rules in terminus.md
